    Fiesta Taco Plate
    Kevin M.

    Food was delicious, and the portions were huge. The spice level was varied and suitable for everyone's spice levels from mild to HOT Service was OK, I've seen alot of complaints in the reviews about the service, I didn't think it was as bad as others have said. I didn't have to wait on refills, and the table/check was brought in a timely manner.

    First visit to this restaurant and it didn't start well. Our server was very abrupt when he arrived asking what do you want to drink. We hadn't even looked at the menu let alone the drink menu. He just stood there waiting we both ordered margarita he then brought water followed by the drinks. I ordered the enchiladas and my wife the seafood enchiladas. They came with rice and beans. The enchiladas were very small one beef, one cheese, and one chicken with three different sauces they weren't great very small. My wife said her seafood crab was not real crab but that wasn't clear on the menu. You do get a large tray of chips and salsa which is good. All in all a very average but dismal dinner. We felt very rushed even though the place was mostly empty. Will we go back. Not sure at this point. We were so rushed I didn't even get a chance to get copies of the menu which is large just like the restaurant. Casual

    Hamburger

    I really liked this place. We stopped in after a cheer competition. We were all starving, this place was just what we needed. All the food was really good, the hamburger was as big as my daughter's face. I don't know if it was really bigger than any other burger but it seemed big when she picked it up. Kids chicken was good, there was live entertainment with a "country" singer. It was all very entertaining and good food. They chips and salsa were awesome. If we lived closer this place would definitely be a regular for us. They had some kind of lunch taco bar, I don't remember the details of when they do it but I bet that's good and the price was a good deal (I don't remember how much they said it was but it was a good deal for what it offers). Next time we're in the Ogden area I'd like to go back.

    Molcajete Ranchero
    Magen L.

    Love this place for their molcajetes! My favorite is the Molcajete Supreme and the ranchero one (pictured) is also very good! I try to follow an animal based diet and this is a nice change from burger patties. My husband loves their chips and salsa and shrimp cocktail. The booths and atmosphere are comfortable and the service is always pretty good.

    Read the reviews and decided to give El Paisa a try. We were not disappointed. Service was friendly, welcoming. Complimentary chips and salsa. We started with queso fondido, was served hot with side of roasted onions and jalapeño. This was a melty cheesy ooey gooey deliousness!! Must try. We had the chicken burrito supreme covered with green sauce. This burrito is Huge! Full of juicy, tender chicken with guacamole and tomato. Taco birra parrilla was soooo tender and the delicious au jus.. Perfect! Taco platter with asada, carnitas, pastor all meats were tender and melt in your mouth. The servings on all meals are huge, served hot. Diana was our server- she was so friendly. We will back back to try their taco bar!!

    Mini all you can eat tacos

    Great buffet! I love the Mexican vibes in this place and the cantina. I went in during their lunch buffet (M-F 11a-2pm). Unlimited tacos w beans and rice. I came by myself, but I saw others come in alone for the buffet as well! The tacos were mini sized, and I appreciate that! It gives me room to try all of them. I personally did not like chicken Chipotle. I mean, maybe others are into it. Try it and let me know your thoughts! Hahaha! The service was great! As soon as I arrived I headed straight to the tacos, when I came back my drink and salsa w chips was already at my table. When you go to the taco bar, you are greeted by two people. They ask how many tacos, they warm up your Tortillas and then you have a variety of taco meats to choose from, which they kindly dish up for you, then they offer you a plate of beans and rice. I only took them up on it once bc I wanted to make room for tacos. It was delicious, and I would recommend it to everyone! I had 10 tacos, I would've prob ate 2 more or another serving of beans and rice, but I had an upcoming appt and had to rush out. Thoroughly enjoyed this place!

    Burrito Chimmi
    Big D M.

    The biggest Chimmi I've ever seen. This is the first time here and a salad to boot! Sweet.

    Molcajete Supreme, rice and beans, shrimp empanadas
    Jayme B.

    This is one of our favorite spots for Mexican food. We love their all you can eat taco bar. Their fajitas, and enchiladas are always great. And we love that we can find things on their menu that a lot of other Mexican restaurants in the area don't have, such as their ceviche tostadas, which are delicious, and what my husband and I ordered last night: their molcajete supreme. This is meant to be shared between two people. Steak, chicken breast, shrimp, onions, nopalis, and cotija cheese in a delicious tomatillo sauce, served with rice and beans, and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. This is definitely one of our favorite meals here! We also got some shrimp empanadas to share with our kids, and my husband and I each ordered a margarita. I was not quite so adventurous as my husband and went for a reliable lime margarita, on the rocks. But my husband decided to try a cilantro margarita - a lime margarita with cilantro. I had a sip and was pleasantly surprised. I like cilantro, but thought drinking it might be a bit much, but it was actually very refreshing and added some nice depth to the drink. I asked him later and he said he did not get sick of the cilantro by the end, which is something I thought could happen. I will have to remember it for next time. Our two youngest kids got enchiladas, which they always enjoy, and our oldest, who struggles with Mexican food, got an avocado burger, which he loved. We do wish that their taco bar was running on weekends, since this is actually our oldest's favorite, but we don't often get here during the work week.

Your dinner includes a small salad, it was delicious and I used their house Italian dressing which was really tangy and yummy. My favorite thing though were their rolls. I swear I could just eaten about 12 of those! They bring you oil and vinegar for dipping and it was hard to not just drink it with every bite of those delicious rolls. In fact I'm going to call their Salt Lake Location and ask if they sell them separately. They were that good. It's a nice change of pace from the usual Italian restaurants so check them out and get extra rolls!

We visited on a Sunday and were charged full dinner price, even though it was lunchtime--but most of what was available felt like leftover lunch items. The food was cold, dried out, and honestly not appetizing at all. The meat was especially tough and hard to chew, which made it even worse. The biggest letdown was the crab legs. We were repeatedly told they'd be out in "10 minutes," but we waited over 30 minutes. When they finally brought some out, there was barely anything--just a few pieces--and they were gone almost instantly. Definitely not what was advertised. The restaurant itself was clean, but it felt pretty rundown and not well maintained. Several food areas were empty, including desserts, and the drink machines were nearly out or barely working. As I was getting ready to leave, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and walked in and it was disgusting. It smelled like throw up, and it looked like somebody had thrown up. One of the most frustrating parts was the drinks. As soon as you sit down, they immediately come to your table and ask what you want to drink, which makes it seem like it's included--but sodas are actually charged separately. It felt very misleading, so just be aware of that. Overall, the whole experience felt disappointing and poorly managed. We will not be returning and would not recommend this place.

The service also was decent as our drinks were filled often and our dishes were hauled away However, That's where my positive experience ends. The food later gave me and my friend a bad case of food poisoning. I won't go into too much detail but I've spent time in the bathroom with a separate garbage can. None of the food looked fresh. It had that look of being passable. To be fair, I'm going to assume they were going to be closing up shop soon so they probably chose not to prepare any more food that evening. Most of the sushi was questionable they definitely had that fake taste like from the tuna and the selection was very sparse. Perhaps the worst of it was one of the gyozas I had was the filling literally tasted like bleach in one of them. My hope was at my friend and I came on a night that was very off for them. It took many hours of my stomach to calm down finally. I'm sure if we went on another night things might improve, but to be honest at this first experience will likely be my last experience.

It is definitely a challenge to serve 80 patrons at once. The food and service quality has to be on its game. i think that Timbermine Steakhouse did a good job. We had a banquet room to ourselves, which most restaurants do not have. We were in round tables that seated 10. Included with our dinner was a nicely flavored fruit punch, salad with Ranch dressing, dinner roll, choice of ribeye steak or halibut or teriyaki chicken, big baked potato that was delicious, and a strawberry cheesecake. All were good. We were not asked for doneness for our steaks, they all came out medium well done, but that wasn't a problem since the steaks were still tender and not dried out. For point of reference, I usually have my steak medium rare. A good steak that was sizeable, a half an inch thick that covered half of the plate. I didn't even finish mine. I think that was a good deal for $27 a person, which included the tip for the servers. The service was spot on. There were enough staff assigned to our dinner and they were on top of things. Water and punch filled and refilled, plates cleared, meal served on time and efficiently, friendly and pleasant. Our room was spacious enough for our large group. There were none of the idiosyncrasies that makes Timbermine, Timbermine. Walking in and out of the restaurant, I did notice the mine cars, the bathtub lined with Pez dispensers, things on the wall, etc. that gives it it's quirky theme atmosphere. Our event started at 4:30p and when I left at 6:30 the parking lot, which is huge, was jammed full as well as the regular restaurant space. So this place is definitely popular on Saturday nights! Good job, Timbermine, I think you are a good choice for large groups. 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.
