    Really like contento cafe. From the music to the relaxed ambiance, it's right up my alley. Food is really good. I got the breakfast burrito with grass-fed steak. Loved the green salsa it came with - spicy but not over the top. I also ordered the Orange Dream - OJ + Cream. It reminded me of a creamsicle. The only thing ide change about it was asking for it a bit colder. It was more room temp. The orange juice is fresh-squeezed that morning.

    Birria Tacos rice and beans

    This place is a MUST GO! Went last night with my brother for dinner, the place is small and cozy really cool vibe. Service was quick and on point wish I got her name. We both had the Birria tacos which are the best I've ever had I'm not kidding. So flavorful and juicy, the salsa on the side was perfectly spicy and creamy. The table next to us was talking to the owner who was cleaning and helping reset tables and they said how they had friends in from Idaho and they just had to show them Contento. It's that good and I will do the same for friends who do and don't live here.

    A friend raved about this restaurant and we finally got to it for a girls' night. Love the location - off the beaten path of downtown and Sugarhouse - and the super cute decor. The scalloped tiles on the wall behind the counter are amazing. My spicy margarita was very strong and fresh, on the tart side, and could've had twice as much spice, but still good. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and while the flavors were good, it needed salt and so did the chips. The entrees were delicious. Everything is 100% gluten-free and seed oil-free. I ordered birria and carnitas tacos and they arrived piled high on thick blue corn tortillas with melted cheese on them, a hefty serving of fluffy rice and black beans with pico de gallo (both excellent). Both the birria and the carnitas were packed full of flavor but the real MVP is that spicy creamy green sauce on the side. I dunked both my tacos in that and would buy that by the pint if they start selling it to-go. Such a fun place though pretty pricey for a casual Mexican restaurant (the taco plates are $16-24). I bet the brunch at this place is amazing - my friends love their coffee drinks too. Highly recommend Contento Cafe when you're looking for a fun change of pace from the typical SLC restaurants.

    Shrimp bowl

    I came here with my family for my dad's birthday dinner and we had an exceptional experience. It was pretty busy when we arrived, but I was immediately impressed by how cute the inside was! Everything was so aesthetically pleasing and we were greeted with warmth by the staff. We even got to meet the owner and he was cracking jokes with us at our table! I ordered a shrimp bowl, and absolutely loved their house made tortillas. Everything was super fresh and tasty, from the seasoning on the shrimp to the house hot sauce. I also enjoyed a spicy margarita and loved that they had a bar menu. The food is supposedly all gluten free, and puts a modern twist on Mexican favorites. We'll definitely be back!!

    Really enjoyed a fully gf restaurant and brunch place but it is quite pricey overall for Mexican food. The breakfast burrito is good, I liked it with the burria pork. The guacamole and chips are fresh and yummy too. Portions were huge! The restaurant is very cute and they service is fast. Recommend coming if your celiac or gluten free!

    Breakfast taco - plain

    WOW! This is such a hidden gem! Location is a bit odd, but there's decent parking and it's close to the highway. For your allergen concerned folks- this kitchen is 100% gluten and seed oil free! I just happened to be in the area and figured I'd give it a shot. Unreal. So freaking good! The chicken poblano tacos were on special, so I had to seize the opportunity. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and well distributed. The blue corn tortilla was expertly cooked and held together throughout the meal. The breakfast taco was also pristine, the pickled onions and avocado created a divine flavor combination. The sauces, beans, and rice were all great supports although it was hard not to obsess over of the tacos. Whether you're gluten free or not, this place needs to be next on your list.

    Gluten-free churros with strawberry dipping sauce and horchata ice cream.
    Jennafer M.

    A friend took me here for my birthday lunch, and it did not disappoint. As a gluten-free eater, it's really hard to find this kind of selection at other Mexican restaurants, but it was nice to know everything on the menu was gluten-free. We ordered the shrimp ceviche appetizer, which was fresh and delicious. I ordered the wild-caught salmon tacos, and my friend got the huevos rancheros. Both dishes were generous portions that were flavorful and filling! We each got a local kombucha - each was refreshing and light. We even tried the churros - I can't tell you the last time I've been able to eat a churro - with Horchata ice cream. The churros were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside - just wonderful. The service was great, and we will definitely be going back!

    Wow!!! HIDDEN GEM!! This is a charming little place with a nice vibe and a great menu. Service with a smile is great and very attentive. I'm surprised that It wasn't crowded at all given the quality of food versus the price which is a great value. I can only speak for my meal but the Huevos rancheros with chorizo are on point, so delicious!!! Limited menu for coffee with no house brew, limited sugar alternatives, etc... but it was still good. Best breakfast place I've been to in a while.

    Horchata latte
    Estela B.

    Found it on Yelp. Came with some friends on a Sunday afternoon. Walked in and got seated right away, the ambiance is cute. Loved it. The horchata latte was delicious. I crave it on a daily since then. My husband got Horchata and it's probably best one we tasted at a restaurant! Just get it! I ordered the breakfast tacos and asked If I could have the vegan chorizo but I wanted it prepared the non vegan way. I wanted the cheese and the egg still. I just wanted to try the vegan chorizo. The girl said the cooks got confused and prepared it normal way and it was fine I still ate it and enjoyed my meal. Little too heavy on the spices and little spicey. I really wanted the cheese outside yeh tortilla but next time I won't go vegan. Everyone else in our table enjoyed their meal. Our friend who ordered breakfast burrito said he wished there was more meat but otherwise good. We all cleaned our plates! The music was loud and they then the kitchen also had music going loud enough for us to hear. My thought were just pick one radio please. Kitchen radio was better btw! And my husband didn't get his horchata until after we got our plates. Not sure what happened there. We all got our coffees first. Definitely will be back and try other items Price is a little steep 15-20 per person but i understand since it does taste freshly made. And we all cleaned our plates

    Breakfast Burrito
    Adrienne M.

    I've been seeing Contento on Instagram and finally made it in on a Sunday. I have not been to a restaurant with this much charm in a while. The service was fantastic, our server was knowledgeable with the menu, prompt and attentive, and friendly. She made some great recommendations. From the time we sat to the time the food delivered to the table we waited maybe 15 minutes, it was fast, hot and fresh. The layering of ingredients were tasteful and well curated. We saw the owner floating and talking to customers and the staff all seemed to get along great and were so complimentary of the chef and her expertise. With that said: the FOOD! I did not know the place was gluten free. This was such a pleasant surprise, as I have a celiac son (he was not with us at the time). I didn't know this until after we finished our meal, which says a lot. The tortillas were house made and the perfect texture. Between the three of us, we ordered the chilaquiles, the chicken and pineapple tacos, and the breakfast burrito. The chilaquiles had a fantastic habanero salsa, were smothered in goods. My partner orders this dish at every restaurant and rates them, this is his new favorite. The homemade chips, and layering of ingredients made for a great dish. You can add heat by ordering side salsas from their array of selections. I had the chicken and pineapple tacos. Was torn because they had Barria on the menu but went this direction for pineapple, I was not disappointed. It was a delicious mix of tangy, tart, sweet with tender chicken that was not dry. Great subtle mix of seasoning and sauce on the chicken, with the layering of pickled onions, cheese encrusted tortillas, and a creamy habanero salsa to drizzle over the top. Also loved the black beans, subtle flavor with cotija and pico. The breakfast burrito was well received from one of our otherwise picky eaters. It had all the fillings and a good portion size. The gluten free tortilla was impressively stable for the burrito, didn't fall apart like others from other restaurants. The ambiance was fun, great vibe, will be coming back to try their drink and coffee menu soon! Can't wait to come again, the menu selection was hard to choose from, can't wait to try more!

To be honest, we were one of two parties in the bar, but we saw that as a good thing. Service was, as you can imagine, immediate, and the atmosphere was great for hanging out and having conversation. The bartender (I unfortunately didn't get his name) was a fantastic conversationalist. They were playing Aliens on one of the TVs, and we spent a good chunk of time just talking about the film and other random topics. For this trip to Craft, I wanted to try a beer I hadn't yet had, and the bartender named a few, including the one I ended up choosing, the Luna Negra, a Craft by Proper beer. I have had a lot of other beers from them which have been great, so I won't knock them too much for this one trip, but the beer was not good. It had nothing to do with the bartender or the bar itself, but the beer was unfortunately one of my least-favorite beers I've ever had. Guess that's what you get for asking for something "unique". Anyway, all that being said, Craft by Proper is still one of mg favorite local beer bars, and I'll be coming back sooner rather than later.

The beer selection was solid, with a few creative options worth trying, and the staff was friendly and happy to chat about their brews. If there was one miss, it was the pretzel--it tasted like it came straight from the freezer and was served with nacho cheese instead of a traditional beer cheese or mustard, which was a little disappointing. Still, the overall experience was enjoyable, especially for dog owners looking for a casual, pet-friendly spot to relax with a drink.

It's like a fruit picnic in a glass--bright, tart, and just the right amount of sparkle. If summer had a flavor, this would be it. The taproom has that perfect low-key vibe: friendly staff, laid-back crowd, and a patio that practically begs you to stay for "just one more." No food, but they're cool with you bringing your own, they also seem to have food trucks quite regularly. Which makes it feel like a backyard hangout with better drinks and no cleanup. If you're in Salt Lake and not stopping by RoHa, you're missing out on some serious seltzer magic. Cheers to good taste and good times!
