17 Best Mexican Restaurants in South Salt Lake

“Best Tamales and salsa Verde in town!“

“Wow!! This place is like Hot Dog on A Stick on steroids!! It’s delicious. The servings are large and extra cheesy!

Fantastic place for deep-fried cheese and hot dogs! The portions are huge, and definitely worth the wait. The atmosphere is lively (crowded because it’s good!). While we were there, they were playing great music. There’s a small foosball table to enjoy while you wait. I highly recommend this spot for a fun and tasty experience, even if it’s not the most gourmet place out there!“

“loooooooove this taco truck!! my boyfriend & i frequent this spot & never get tired of it. such a great deal on such good food. lots of tasty topping options & always friendly service. the best part is a gorgeous view of the mountains while you enjoy your food :)“

“Do NOT order from their website. Made a pickup order with some friends and went to pickup at the time stated on the order. Manager stated they had not received our order as their website system doesn’t properly work. Had already paid more than $60 for order and was told I could order again but she could not help with refunding my money. Restaurant vibes were on point and the place smelled delicious so was sad to not be able to get food that time. Buyer beware: DO NOT ORDER from website. They use grubhub and calling to order is always an option. Will plan on coming back and eating at their establishment“

“This is most certainly a place where yuppie Chitty people do not hang out. My boy toy Noy Noy eats here alot I guess. He said he wanted to take me on a date, so we webt to El Tropicana. I was in heaven... good food, no chitty people, and or tesla vehicles around, and get this, they don't even have bottled water! I love it. Best Mexicans around.“

“A lot of variety of authentic Mexican food. Anywhere from caldos, meats, and home made tortillas.“

“Muy buena Comida! Ambiente Mexicano, desde la música hasta la comida! 😎👊🙏😍“

“We do not dine out often due to the poor food quality of many restaurants; however, when our friends found this organic, gluten-free diner, I was intrigued. The food was an absolute celebration of life. Delectable delights danced on an ambrosial causeway of artistic creation few eateries achieve. Our table ordered a variety of entrees and drinks. We started with complimentary chips, avocado and verde sauce. Very tasty. For the main course, I choose enchiladas and was curious about the horchata (rice milk soaked in cream with cinnamon), so I had this as well. Normally, I do not order specialty drinks, but their horchata was an exceptional experience as was the hand-squeezed limeade. I highly recommend both. Reading many of the other reviews that criticized the room temperature water, the service, and the ambiance, I must adamantly disagree. The best temperature for water when dining is room temperature. And their water is finely filtered and refreshing. The service may be perceived as slow, but I love being left to chat and laugh with my party. I relish this time. A meal out should be relaxing in a friendly, pleasant atmosphere without feeling rushed—and it was. The dining area is a little noisy, like most restaurants in this country. As an experienced sound engineer, I would recommend some sound absorbers blended into the corners, some appropriate picturesque art absorbers on the walls, and maybe a row of carpet down the main walkway to absorb sound and define the lovely wait staff’s path. The price: well worth it. You will not be disappointed. Spend without regret, and enjoy the articulation of tastes that shall frolic upon thy palate. Thank thee for a wondrous dining experience for a traveling bard, Frosty“

“😁good and yummy place to eat, I have been here more than once in fact several time and is one of my favorite place to eat. The anytime special is fantastic for the price. I recommend this place.“

“The fact that they allow you any amount of sauce is what makes this place amazing. Went to a rancharitos in Layton and they tried charging me for a tablespoon of watered down sauce. This place has the largest breakfast burrito and they do not skimp on the egg and bacon. Best one in the valley.“

“delicioso,buen precio, atención pronta.“

“Food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Have to knock off a star for the insane prices. Got a bowl for $11.85 with brisket. The extra brisket charge was $7.40, so with tax I paid over $21 for one entree. No guac, no sides, no drink. I know inflation is real and underreported but this is just clobbering people.“

“To summarize it yes I would eat here again, but they just need to work on the standards of food safety and cleanliness. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt thinking they just got done with a rush. I was a little disappointed to see that the salsa was sitting so long it had formed a cap on the container.“
