What People's Say About Place

I loved the burrito, loved it so much. Flavor was insane, salsa was killer, so simple but so satisfying and super filling. I found a piece of bone, and they absolutely insisted on making me a new one. I would not hesitate to go again.

The food here is seriously so good and you get SO much for the price. I can throw down a lot of food and I couldn't finish my burrito. The staff is really cool and easy to talk to.

Absolutely delicious! It took me a while to finally get to this restaurant and I am so glad I did! I ordered the quesabirria plate and it did not disappoint! Amazing portions too! The young man who took our order was so friendly and welcoming! My only disappointment was they were sold out of carnitas which only means I have to go back and I definitely will! You know it's good when they are sold out! Go try it out!

I was blown away by my carnita burrito. It was giant (enough for two people) and most of the meat was tender with some delicious crispy edges. Salsa was spot on. This place rivals many authentic Mexican restaurants in San Antonio. What a win for Salt Lake Valley. I will be going every single time I come back to visit.

You ever look at your food and just know it's going to be incredible before you even try it? The food was hot, fresh, authentic, and delicious! This is the only place I've found that sells fresh Chicharrón and probably one of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been to. Staff was friendly and prices were fair. 10/10

So good!! They serve the best carnitas you can find!!! And such a large portion for the price. Highly recommend. Haven’t tried any better carnitas anywhere. Staff is amazing and nice. Great place all around.

Great taste, great prices, awesome service and atmosphere as well! Hubby got a carnitas plates and I got carnitas and asada tacos. The carnitas are amazing and just fall apart but also lightly goldened (wish it was more golden). The asada is really good as well, perfectly seasoned and not dry. There horchata is really good as well, it’s the perfect smoky of sweet and cinnamon.

I came to this area to transfer to another bus yesterday. I was so hungry and in a hurry. The super nice people were so understanding and got me my Carnitas Taco in less than a minute! I was so happy! I made to my bus too! I just came in today too to get another taco. Different people, same amazing service!
