50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“Recommend everything….best MEXICAN FOOD“

“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.“

“Mi Buena Vida offers a fantastic dining experience. The mole on the carnitas enchiladas was a standout dish, rich in flavor and perfectly complementing the tender meat. The fish tacos were equally impressive, and the margaritas were incredible!

We also enjoyed the Frida salad for a lighter option. Don't forget to check out the homemade salsa bar! The staff's professionalism is top-notch, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere.

I highly recommend Mi Buena Vida. It truly deserves 5 stars!“

“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.“

“Loved this so much! Big portions and worth every cent! I loved it! Also the ambiance is so fun and they are so attentive! We would 100/10 recommend!

Dietary restrictions: Lots of food allergies in our family and they were so easy to work with!“

“Forgive my photos, we were starving and dug right in 😂 We just had a great lunch at Guisados Home Style Mexican Cooking. I'm already dreaming about the next time we can go back! 😍 We ordered the mole, bistec, kids carne quesadilla, and guac. We couldn't finish it all and get to eat it again which is the best part LOL. I was intrigued by their combination platters and if we hadn't come to try the mole specifically we would have gotten one. We will definitely try them next time (large quantities for family style dining). I loved the bright colorful napkins keeping my tortillas warm 💛“

“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.“

“This is easily the most astonishing Mexican resturant I have had in a long time, the food is some of the most fresh I have seen and all the food taste like it was homemade and veggies seemed fresh from the garden“

“amazing place so much space and the food is amazing! burrito came out big and smothered it was perfect 🙏 thank you guys loved the agua fresca de tamarindo too! 😇“

“Awesome Chiken, I love the staff and how clean the environment is. The restaurant is really clean with an excellent space to dine in. I strongly recommend this place at Sugar House. 👌👌👍👍great job guys.“

“My wife’s sister recommended this to us. It’s our new favorite restaurant. Quick service. Delicious food!“

“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.“

“I recently visited La Cevicheria in Salt Lake City, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! If you're a fan of fresh, delicious ceviche, this is the place to go. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of tanginess and spice. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes were generous.

The service was also top-notch. Our waiter, Jordan, was awesome—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. He made sure we were well taken care of and even gave us great recommendations on the menu. His enthusiasm added to the overall vibe of the place.

I highly recommend La Cevicheria for anyone in the mood for authentic, fresh seafood with excellent service. Definitely coming back!“

“Piko is fantastic! Our server, Jon, was very friendly & accomodating. The food was outstanding 😁 I had the Breakfast burrito. My girlfriend got the Breakfast Skillet. And we shared a tres leches french toast. We are excited to come back!“

“I recommend their tripa. Very delicious and crispy. GAS ⛽“

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

“SO much variety! Different foods, drinks, specials, seasonal items :D“

“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.“

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

“First time but won’t be the last. Barbacoa Mexican Grill has a menu that’s different from the other Mexican chain restaurants. Staff recommended I try both the spicy beef and the spicy pork. I’m glad I tried them both because they were delicious! Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the mood for something a little different.“

“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.“

“Pues es un lugar para ir a disfrutar y pues 100 % Recomendable“

“I would recommend Chubby’s Mexican restaurant to anyone! It’s definitely locally owned in a small business, but I think that’s also what makes it so great! They have amazing staff who truly care that you have a great experience! And they make sure that you are well taken care of!

My favorite dish there is it’s gonna be the combination plate where I can get a mix of different items from enchiladas to soft tacos to hard tacos. You can’t go wrong. I definitely recommend for people to go out and just give it a try.“

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

“The best vegetarian (veggie) burrito I've had for as long as I can remember. Oftentimes, people just throw some unseasoned veggies and beans into a tortilla and call it good but this veggie burrito was so flavorful and the tortilla was delicious. Can't wait to get this again!“

“This place is delicious with the most authentic Mexican food in town. Employee are super nice and great customer service! Definitely worth the drive . Very clean restaurant. Barbacoa is the best!“

“Over the years I feel like the food has improved, everything was delicious and flavorful! The drinks options are great, there’s something for everyone!

Parking: Parking is difficult because the parking lot is always full, which isn’t a bad thing!“

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

“Wow! I'm blown away by this restaurant. I came by on a whim, just trying to check out new Mexican lunch spots, and I'll definitely be coming back! The service was super friendly, everything is clean and tidy, and the tacos were the best I've had in the block. Thank you for the great experience!“

“FABULOUS food! Hands down the best meal we have had dining out in quite some time! The staff is absolutely lovely! Recommend 100%“

“This is a small, family ran and owned business. They are so inviting and excited to have you there. The owner took very good care of our table. Food was delicious and authentic! I got the posole, it had a good amount of meat and packed with flavor! I got my kids some carne asada, and the asada was so flavorful. My mom got the lengua tacos, they were soft and delicious! They also had a variety of house made salsas, and they were all delicious and paired very well with the food! Can't wait to go back!

Parking: Small parking lot. But it is a small place so doesn't need anything bigger.

Kid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed the asada tacos, beans, rice, and quesadillas. And the chips and salsa, of course.“

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

“The food was AMAZING! The tacos al pastor are prepared by the owner and the flavor is divine. Very good sauces, very good service, very friendly and dedicated. I come from Houston and it's a spot that I will be visiting when I return ❤️“

“I have tried several different dishes here and honestly they have all ben good. Everything has lots of flavor and you can really tell everthing is home made. They have awsome drinks aswell. This is definitely a place i will be going back to“

“This was my first time trying Costa Vida and I absolutely loved it! The sweet pork had the perfect flavor that matched the spicy sauces. The workers were kind but also really fast and efficient! My bowl was ready in like 30 seconds! In addition, the building was very clean and looked a lot fancier than a fast food restaurant should. I’m glad that I decided to munch some lunch here.“

“This used to be the BEST Betos in the state and they have gone downhill in the last few months.
They advertise that they are open 24/7 but that is not true.
Also, the last few times we've gotten the carne asada burritos and they have basically given us fatty pieces of leftover steak. 😒 Why would we pay good money to eat nothing but gristle? 🤢
What sucks is that we really like the people that work there but this place needs to step it up before they get shut down.
The ONLY reason we've gone there is bc of the friendly service and what used to be amazing food.
If the owners of this establishment actually care to listen, perhaps you need to step it up. You need to make some HUGE changes unless you're good with no one frequenting your business.
For the prices you charge, we EXPECT the quality that we used to get.
What a disappointment. 🫩“

“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.“

“A wonderful organization of business professionals. Vest Pocket is an advocate for small businesses and a great place to learn from fellow business leaders.“

“el pollo muy rico el servicio exelente“

“The Blue Iguana was just what my family needed after a long day of travel to start our stay in SLC. Id come back food was great and reasonably priced and the service was attentive.“

“Was pretty good, loved the verde sauce and atmospheric grit. Was at the Hollywood Heritage Museum book sale today and saw the original vintage photos of the place. Very cool!“

“2300 So. Off of Fort Union blvd. Tucked off a little discreetly.
Seriously, BEST CHIPS (& dips - all free). An old staple for us until a issue with offensive chef.

The Tex/ tex-American menu is awesome - the food always is TERRIFIC & filling in nice setting.

GREAT SERVICE, Extra PARKING ALSO AVAILABLE BEHIND.

Always Awesome!“

“Oh my God the authentic Mexican food in Salt Lake City Utah Excellent service and clean reasonable prices Love this place Thanks Margarito Parra The owner“

“Love this place! We've always had very fast service and the food comes out quickly. Always enjoy going here.

Update: We have eaten here dozens of times and it's so good! The salsa has changed over the years and is not quite the same, even the stuff in the squeeze bottle. The Chile rellenos are always a hit, but the peppers were not cleaned out well and had a ton of seeds, so that wasn't as good as it has been in the past. Their enchiladas are amazing though!“

“Great customer service of course 👍 There food is so good homemade tortious and beans chili verda 😋 I would like to tell them thank you. I just love There food 😋“

“I love Barbacoa! I visit the one in Holladay, often. Everyone is always friendly, the food is fresh and it's a nice pick me up. Had to edit to add: nachos are my absolute favorite and it's what I order every time I go ☺️ I also have Celiac's and I have never gotten sick eating here. I appreciate that so much!“

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

“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!“

“Love taco time, like a better Taco Bell with more real tasting food. Everything is perfect from the burritos to soft tacos to hard tacos to quesadillas etc. to note the soft taco is basically just a burrito. I always get the soft taco and the hard shell taco and the Mexi fries“

“I stopped by their food truck for a quick bite at lunch, and I was delighted with the Carne Asada fries—they tasted fantastic! I'm really pleased with my purchase and would definitely order it again. The ladies running the food truck were very nice and patient, making for an overall great lunch experience.“
