    Three Rolled Taquitos
    Meadow W.

    Needed food late night and they were open, which turned out to be fortunate! My kid got rolled tacos and I got quesabirria tacos, both were delicious! The guy working the window was friendly and had great recommendations. Food came out fast and was packaged well for the ride home.

    A must-try if you love a bomb breakfast burrito! Came across Benchitos on grubhub . Being a sunday and not really wanting to cook I knew I wanted a delish Burrito. I normally get a Crazy burrito from a Utah chain restaurant but when it comes to trying other items aside of that item Ive always been disappointed. I was so excited when I saw Benchitos not only had their own Crazy burrito ... but they had Machaca!!! I got both and they were both so filling , a good flavor and they give plenty of salsa to accommodate the portion. The beef was cooked well , juicy , the eggs were fluffy and I didn't mind the green peppers. The Crazy burrito was equally impressive-had a nice smoky taste to it as well. So do yourself a favor and try both . I look forward to trying more of the menu in time as I see their open late and have a drive thru . Keep up the stellar work Benchitos!

    Quesabirria tacos

    This place is outstanding! The service is friendly, and the drive-through works perfectly. Inside, they have a salsa bar! The ambience is fun and lively. The mixed fajitas were absolutely delicious! The flavoring was the best flavoring I've ever had, and the rice and beans were delicious. I tried the quesabirria tacos, and they are packed with flavor! There is so much meat that it's almost falling out. They give onions, cilantro, and lime to garnish. The consome sauce is also absolutely bursting with flavor! We will definitely be back!!!

    Found Benchitos on yelp - as we were looking for a quick dinner! We got: Carne asada fries burrito- the fries were still super crispy a good burrito especially with their hot salsa Quesadilla kids - our grandson really enjoyed his dinner - the perfect meal for kids Bean & cheese burrito / this was tasty & huge Super nachos- it was a full platter- lots of chips & meat w/ guacamole & pico Steak Rancho platter- plate was clean so I guess he liked it! Overall we had a great meal - new restaurant- located in the north west corner of a small strip mall w/ lots of parking - hours are 6 am - 3 am and you can order breakfast anytime! The owner is super nice & friendly- food is cooked to order and comes out really fast. Menu has lots of choices Snd they have a great self serve salsa bar!

    Wowwww! (Btw I'm hispanic) Honestly, I debated on making a review because if people find out about this place, it's going to be crowded and who knows, maybe the prices will go up. However, I truly think this place deserves the attention. I just moved to SLC in February and I've already been here 10 times. The staff are extremely friendly and the food is absolutely amazing. This "fast food" won't make you feel like crap because their ingredients are fresh. I recommend the surf and turf burrito, their sopes, and the nachos. Don't forget their amazing guacamole and habanero salsa. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food they get. I would like to see some tripa or maybe even lengua in the future, I would be there every day. Give this place a try!!!!!

    The food was incredible! The horchata is hands down the best I've had in Salt Lake City. I ordered the birria quesadilla, which comes with consommé, and it was so flavorful. The staff was very friendly, and the service was quick and welcoming. My boyfriend ordered the Hot Cheeto burrito and absolutely loved it. The churros we had for dessert tasted so fresh and were filled with cajeta. We went on a Tuesday night, and it wasn't busy, which made for a really relaxed experience. The churros we had for dessert tasted so fresh and were filled with cajeta.

    Came across this new Mexican place. It was clean with plenty of seating. The owner was working up front and was really nice and chill. The food was made to order and was delicious. It's a mom and pop shop, so Yall go support them!

    Wow! What an amazing experience. This place just opened up by my house and I decided to give it a shot for my 2am food run. I couldn't be happier that I did. Some of the best service I've received in this city for food. It's such a refreshing experience to see a local Mexican spot with a good SPICY salsa. The restaurant was very clean and open. Also got a free horchata with my order for their opening week special. Go give it a try. It is worth it I cannot reccomend enough. Great prices, great hospitality, and wonderful food.

    Mix Breakfast Burrtio

    Been a little disappointed with the quality of Rancheritos and Betos lately as they've usually been the go to. Had not heard of this place so gave it a shot. Mix breakfast burrito was fantastic. Packed with meat, potatoes and cheese and everything was well distributed - the tortilla was tightly wrapped and made it easier to not make a mess. Also, they hooked me up with sauces. Definitely coming back.

    #5 Hard shell beef tacos/rice/beans. On point.

    Great customer service. Reasonable prices. Clean interior and exterior. I've lived all over Southern California and Arizona and this is good Mexican food. Just opened. Come give them some business. Food came out fast!

    Fajita combo. With shrimp, chicken, steak. Comes with 2 big flour tortillas

    Absolutely delicious!…read more I got a BOGO free burrito coupon from their FB feed, so why not? So glad I did! I had the spicy green chili burrito--delicious! Smothered inside and out with their very fine green chili. The tortillas seem homemade, it was fresh and good. My wife had the carne asada burrito. I got a bite of it and the beef is delicious! Such good flavors. I also had the pinto beans and rice, both are very good. The horchata, made with almond milk, was creamy and just the right amount of cinnamon and sweet. They serve flour and corn tortilla chips with three salsas. The chips were excellent. The flour chips are deep fried, really good. The red salsa was the hottest but not bad for heat. The green was good. Now the crema sauce was my favorite, it is really excellent. Nice restaurant, comfortable chairs, nice decor that goes along with their theme. Looks like a comfortable bar. Service was friendly and accommodating. I would like to eat here again and take advantage of the FB coupon for their tacos. Highly recommended! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

But weirdly the rim of my beer glass was coated with a powder that tasted like ground up Doritos. Yuck. Food. Generic burritos and tacos were acceptable. The queso: Within minutes it cooled into a blob of chewy cheese. The chicken with mole: Chicken was dry and tasteless; the mole was thin and watery, and lacked any hint of chocolate. Did we dine here on an off night? Perhaps since it's a really popular place. Hard to say. All I can say is, it's not for us.

I was pleasantly surprised by the decor inside, they have spent a great deal for this location. I ordered chips and salsa to start. These were not complimentary but when they arrived the salsa was fresh and unique. I was glad I ordered them. My wife chose the carne asada burrito. She raved about the flavor and could only finish half. I ordered a unique taco which had an authentic name this gringo cannot remember but it was built on a house made corn tortilla about twenty inches long and ten inches wide. Steak, Mexican cream, tomatillo sauce, freshly shredded lettuce and cheese. I've never had anything like it but it is awesome. The service was quick and efficient. Very delightful people.
