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.“

“This restaurant has such a nice atmosphere and awesome staff members!! Food was delicious😋“

“Was traveling to SLC on business and found this restaurant through a Google search. High ratings with a ton of reviews so I was curious to see if they could deliver & boy did they ever!! Great food, solid service and a great vibe. I will be coming back!!“

“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.“

“John is great! He always remembers us and he went above and beyond by making my girlfriend a mocktail for free since she wasn’t 21 but wanted to try the cosmopolitan.

Overall service is decent here, sometimes a little slow during peak hours. However, John always does a great job.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 😇“

“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“

“My experience at Sol and Sabor was more than just a meal it felt like a moment I’ll carry with me.

From the very first bite, I knew I was tasting something rare. The flavors weren’t just good… they were alive. Every bite felt intentional, rich with culture, crafted with care, and overflowing with love. I found myself slowing down, savoring each moment, because it honestly felt too special to rush.

I had the huevos rancheros, and I’m still in awe. The depth, the balance, the way every flavor came together so beautifully it was unforgettable. It’s been years since food in Utah has moved me like this. Not just satisfied me, but genuinely touched me.

You can feel that this isn’t just cooking it’s passion, it’s heritage, it’s heart poured onto a plate. And I’m so deeply grateful for that. Grateful for the hands that prepared it, for the culture that shaped it, and for the experience of tasting something so full of life.

This place didn’t just live up to the hype it awakened something. Hands down, my favorite spot now. I truly thank God for moments like this… because food like this is more than food it’s a gift. Sorry I dove into my food before I could get a perfect picture!!! Trust me it’s a must have 🙌🏼🩵🤍👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼🙌🏼“

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

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

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

“👍👍👍👍👍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.“

“Give it a try! The appetizer chips were something I've never had before—they looked homemade, were on the thicker side, and had a seasoning that I believe included lime. They were delicious. For entrees, we had shrimp ceviche and grilled octopus. Overall, I liked the restaurant and the food, but the food was overpriced. I haven't found a place with better ceviche, though, so La Cevicheria is where I'll go when I want it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Recommend everything….best MEXICAN FOOD“

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

“I travel for work so I have been searching for the best quesabirra out there. Today in Salt Lake City I found hands down the best quesibiria consomme have ever tasted in my entire life. Thank you Mank'a you've officially set the bar“

“Huge shoutout to Sheena and her team at Costa Vida for always taking such great care of us! Their customer service is consistently top-notch, and they somehow always manage to have our large catering orders ready on time with everything included and organized perfectly. The food is always fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our dealership team every single time. We truly appreciate the reliability, professionalism, and hard work from everyone there. Easy 5 stars!“

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

“Food was excellent, server was very kind and accommodating. Absolutely will be back“

“I got really sick eating here yesterday, and I barely ate half of an enchilada. Glad I didn't finish it. To top off that horrible experience, the rude old lady manager laughed and called me a liar, then got an attitude with me. Horrible place even worse service. Don't eat here if you don't want to get food poisoning.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I love this place SO MUCH. This has been a family favorite for a long long time and it never disappoints! They have great chips and salsa, and all of their food is tasty, well seasoned, and authentic. Absolutely delicious, I'll never stop coming here!“

“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 😋“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“The truck was at the Downtown Garner pop-up today and we decided to try it. EXCELLENT - very fresh and flavorful, nice people, and it was served quickly. I’d happily recommend this food truck!“

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

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

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

“Just a couple of truckers from Oklahoma, and I will say the burrito and tacos were the best I've had while being on the road. Pop and daughter making very high-quality food. You are now on our stopping list for anytime we're in SLC. Thank you, amigo.“

“el pollo muy rico el servicio exelente“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Everything was good and fresh, if not exactly authentic.

But I'm an authentic white guy, so it was perfect LOL

I think the salsa could use a bit more kick and would be better served in a small bowl rather than the shot glass-sized container. But that's really my only constructive criticism / feedback.

My server, Chrissy, was exceptional and super sweet. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“I had a dynamite burrito that was bursting full of ingredients. The included salsa had a good kick.

The staff did not speak English, and I don't speak much Spanish - but ordering wasn't too difficult.

It's also a neat convenience store and a check-cashing establishment. I will absolutely be going back for another menu item, I have no doubt it will be delicious.“

“Really really cool people they make you feel welcoming, there food is delicious, i really recommend the tacos, i got asada and pastor and lengua tacos but the one i loved was the asada, they have the toppings inside a cooler so u add what ever u want, tip: if you get a quesadilla, open it and add the toppings too cause i just comes with cheese and the meat u want, but there asada seasoning is delicious, will pass by again if i come to SLC.
Im a truck driver but they told me i could park on the main street but what i did i went thru the warehouse and parked on a corner and just walked 2 min to the food truck, , the orange is where i went thru and parked and the blue circle is where they are at, they say no one tells u nothing for parking in the street but ehh i rather park om the warehouse and walk than pay a fine lol to get out the way i parked i just backed up and went out the same way i went in.“

“Absolutely delicious tortas, we got the chavo and asada with everything on it. Irwin and his mom were working, they were super friendly and made great suggestions on the menu. The food came out hot and fast - and there was a little area to eat by the truck but we took it home.“

“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!“

“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!“
