It turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises you find on a road trip. Fast forward five years. I'm pulling into Green River again, this time on a trip with my dad and brother, when I spotted La Pasadita and immediately recognized it. I had completely forgotten about this hidden gem in this sleepy little town, but the second I saw it, I knew where we were eating. I'm happy to say the food was every bit as good--if not better--than I remembered. My dad and brother both went with burritos, and I had the chicken enchiladas. Everything was fantastic.

A food truck sitting in the parking lot of what looks like an old Shell gas station might make you second-guess your choice. Don't. Pull in, order some food, and enjoy it. Places like this are exactly why you shouldn't judge a restaurant by the building. Five stars without hesitation. If Yelp let me give La Pasadita more, I would. And apparently, if I find myself back in Green River another five years from now, I already know where I'm eating.

So 3/5 mostly because of the poor bathroom facilities.

The servers were kind and attentive, but I would not come back for the food.

We thought surely a hole-in-the-wall Mexican food truck would deliver the punch of flavor we had been missing. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit underwhelming. We were hungry after hiking so we ordered a bunch of things off the menu, including the birria, huaraches, sopes, and a quesadilla. The huaraches were interesting and unique, we had never had that before, but the flavor of everything left something to be desired. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was very welcoming in the little patio area outside the food truck. This was better than standard typical Mexican restaurant food, but we just wanted a little more from them. Definitely check them out if you're wanting Mexican food though!

Bean cup $4.25 + rice cup $4.25. For $.50 more I could have had two more tacos.

I have eaten here with my friend the last couple trips to Moab and it has been just perfect each time! The service is fast and very friendly. The skinny margaritas are terrific, no sugary mix and not an overwhelming amount of lime juice. My food was spot on too. We sat outside which is under cover and shaded but you can still see the street and sidewalk. Kinda feels like a sidewalk cafe there. They also have seating inside. This is a great spot a little off the beaten path on Main Street and a great finish to a big day mountain biking in the desert. Big kudos to the wait staff! They seem to work as a team which really improves the customer experience over other places that don't practice this method of service.

Unfortunately, they just completely forgot to cook my food. When the rest of my table got theirs, there was no trace of mine, and when they noticed the problem it seemed that they had to cook it entirely from scratch, so I didn't get my food until the rest of my family had finished and my kids were antsy to leave. Also, when the food did arrive, it wasn't what I ordered, and frankly I did not want to eat it, but at that point I was too hungry and dispirited to complain. I know, I know, this kind of thing could be a one-off; things happen. But you only get so many nights in Moab, and it happened to me, and I did not like it!

One thing I loved about this spot was the misters set up around the seating area--they made a huge difference and kept us cool on a very hot day. We ordered six street tacos: two shrimp, two asada, one adobada, and one barbacoa, which came to about $27. The food was served quickly, and overall the tacos had a nice spice level and good flavor. They were a bit on the salty side, but still enjoyable. One thing I found unusual was that they didn't double up the tortillas like many taco places do, which made them slightly more fragile. It's a convenient, tasty, and casual stop if you're in Moab and want a quick meal outdoors with a relaxed vibe.

Being a taco addict, this place was a no brainer. The word around the park is $3 street tacos...duh. The service was gracious both time we went and enjoyable. We had the Carne Asada and Pork street tacos, 3 a piece for $3 a piece. They come with the protein and onions and cilantro. We added pico sides and a chips and salsa side. You have to get both salsa's, medium red and hot green. The hot sauce is legit, so much depth and flavor but will light you up for an extended period! The park itself offers a common table area, covered and lit. We went back the next night it was so good, highly recommended!

Wow what can I say Pino Loco (I may be changing the name by mistake) their signature dish of grilled pineapple stuff with meat and veggies has to be one of my most favorite Mexican food dishes that I've ever eaten. It's sweet and savory. I had to take half back to the hotel for dinner tomorrow. Jorge provided fantastic service! The food prep was very quick. I'd highly recommend this establishment! My friend's meals were delicious as well. It took me a few weeks to get my account to work. :( read more
