50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“My favorite Mexican food in Salt Lake City. I don’t get to go very often but when I’m in town I never miss it. Love it.“

“Recommend everything….best MEXICAN FOOD“

“Wow!! This place is incredible!! They serve the only 2 meats you’ll ever need, Al pastor and carne asada! We got 5 tacos and loaded fries and 2 drinks for about $40. The sauces provided on the tables go well with everything! Definitely will be a return visit spot for us!! Loved every second!“

“Grand opening specials and delicious food keep us coming back twice in a week now. It is located next to a local Target, so they have a great position to succeed with the flow of traffic and a large parking lot. I hope these specials remain the same or similar, the food economy needs places like this! Food should be affordable and tasty. You guys do both, excellent job.“

“While on my visit to Salt Lake City during the holidays, My friends and I discovered this awesome Mexican restaurant! The experience was like being at a family gathering enjoying home made food! The atmosphere is very casual, the service attentive and the food top notch. The prices are very reasonable given the high quality of the food! We enjoyed the tacos. Quesadillas and Chili Rellenos! We left full and very satisfied with the experience at this mom and pop Mexican restaurant! I would highly recommend this place if you are a local or just visiting!“

“The food was absolutely delicious & the ambiance was beautiful & welcoming! All the staff was super attentive & polite, the food over exceeded my expectations! Great portions & full of flavor.

“Went in right at open last Saturday for the first time. The service was great! I was impressed by how professional everyone was and loved the salsa bar. We loved what we ordered, my new favorite Mexican food in SLC. We both walked away full saying we'll be back soon!“

“I’ve been here. . . oh, maybe 100 times the past two years. I absolutely LOVE it. They don’t use lard in their beans, their tortillas are vegan, and the fajita veggies are the best. Vegan burritos, ftw. Thank you, Carl, et al, for providing my this urban respite.“

“Excellent food and flavors. It was a filling breakfast but not a gut bomb or too heavy. Servings were generous and could be a little smaller and still satisfying. The owner is friendly and helpful in navigating the menu. Will definitely return.“

“incredible hard shelled tacos and my husband LOVES the Carna asada plate. we eat there weekly it's less expensive than fast food. I have a hard time with the spice and I have not had any problems. Best Mexican I have ever ate. Thank you so much and the service is great.“

“Delicious food, I can’t wait to try more“

“First time trying this place, and the food was so delicious. I ordered the Avocado Tuna Ceviche, the fish was tender and in strips, the sauce was super delicious and the vegetables were all super fresh. There was only one server so service was a little slower that I'm used to but he did amazing at juggling all the work himself. He was super friendly and recommended drinks that were great as well. Will definitely be coming back! Great atmosphere and great customer service!“

“👍👍👍👍👍Had a terrific lunch here on Monday (6/23/25). Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Food was great. Not your regular Mexican dishes, more like Mexican with a unique twist! I had the Quesabirria (kind of like a quesadilla)and Ashly had the Birria Stew. We each chose lamb for the meat. These were made well, delicious and beautifully presented. Using lamb and the Birria style gave everything a unique, delightful flavor! It was a perfect afternoon for eating outside, too.“

“Pleasant, professional and fast!! Amazing food!“

“Muy buena comida, buen ambiente y excelente atención“

“The staff did an awesome job making a gluten free order. The person waiting on me asked if it was a need or a preference. Once they knew it was a need they cleaned the grill and cooked fresh corn shells to avoid contamination. The person at checkout put the order in a different bag. I appreciate the care and concern.“

“This place is great! The server was awesome and she gave us great recommendations. I had the two burrito meal and my wife got the grilled tacos. The food was great. I left craving the food for days after. Just unique enough menu to make them stand out from other Mexican restaurants. Oh, and don’t leave without trying their fried ice cream and flan… even if your full it’s so worth it. We will be going back soon.“

“Es un restaurante de comida mexicana auténtica. Estilo ciudad de mexico y con un sabor bueno y diferente con sus famosa corn quesadillas al pastor y no puede faltar su tacos alpastor con pina delicioso y una gran variedad de antojitos mecicanos.“

“First time here. Ordered the Camarones al Charappo. Delicious!!! Server was not too attentive/friendly? Didn't offer coffee or desert after I finished my meal. Dropped off check. Training issue.“

“demaciado ricos los burritos super recomendado el lugar comida realmente exquisita 🌯🌮“

“Great Spot. It's a Mexican food spot, but they made a fantastic Lomo Saltado. It wasn't as traditional Peruvian as other lomo that I've had, but it had the perfect little Mexican flavor and twist to it. Fresh tortillas were bomb and the choco-flan topped it off perfectly. The sweetest lady served me and I'd go back just to feel like I've got a Mexican abuelita that cooks for me.“

“Los mejores tacos 🌮 de birria los recomiendo no te quedes sin probarlos está muy ricos“

“Not only did I get my delicious tamales to celebrate Christmas, but in my haste and distraction I left my wallet on the counter and the employees kept it for me. An hour later, when I was about to pay at this other place I realized I did not have my wallet. I called Victor’s Restaurant and they had it. My wallet was intact, and nothing was taken from it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your honesty. God bless all of you. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.“

“Les recomiendo los tacos están deliciosos tienen variedad y son muy amables“

“Best Mexican food in town! I've heard this neighborhood can be dicey but it was perfectly safe and the mole is out of this world!!! The food is authentic, fresh, and amazingly flavorful. The service was very friendly and the food came very quickly and at the proper temperature. The soup is also wonderful. This hole-in-the wall is a real find! My husband and I will return often.“

“Yummy burrito bowls! I've been there before and I already tell him that I want black beans and rice and they look at Batman Go. Do you want beans and rice? It's like they didn't hear me. Maybe they're just so used to asking instead of somebody who knows what they're going to ask. But it's delicious. I love the hot sauce“

“We love the Rio Grande we go there a lot before Gymnastics and other things at the U.“

“el pollo muy rico el servicio exelente“

“The cauliflower Tacos blew my mind! They were huge and filled me up! I've never had anything like it! They came with rice and beans that were so delicious and their chips are seasoned nicely for their salsa bar options. The enchiladas were good too.“

“I’m a little upset that I’ve not gone to this Taco Truck sooner! I ordered 5 tacos carne asada and their shredded chicken with everything and it is very good. Plated so nicely by the young lady working tonight. I will be returning very soon, thank you for your delicious food and great service!“

“Had lunch here today with my mother and was very impressed with the service of the only gentleman I saw working there. He was so polite, incredibly kind with the bathroom key and making the visit great. His amazingness really stood out to my mother and I and I feel he deserves a compliment on here. Thank you for the great experience. 10 thumbs up“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“I have been looking for a GOOD Mexican food place and I have definitely found it! I found this place less than 2 weeks ago and have eaten here twice. Once in house and the other I ordered very easily in the app they have for small businesses. This by far is the best in town and I will be come back very often. The staff is so friendly and kind. I know have a place to take my family and friends that come from out of town to a good Mexican food place. 5 starts ALL DAY!!!“

“This is my go to. I don’t think anywhere else cures hunger pangs or depression quite like here honestly. The shrimp tacos are absolutely delicious. Bizarre to think you’d find awesome seafood tacos in salt lake at a taco cart. But everything is good. Great lengua also!“

“I don’t have a picture because these vampiros were so amazing they were gone in seconds. Highly, highly recommend!The location might not seem appealing, but give it try. You 100% will not regret it.Possibly the best street tacos in all of Utah!“

“I ordered Sopes and it was great!! I love that they had a vegetarian option (cheese/beans). My husband also loved his food. We grew up around authentic Mexican food, and this tasted authentic!! Hit the craving while away from home. Ordered through DoorDash!“
