I was prepared to hate this place because last time I got my hopes up at the little place down the street called El Castillo, my hopes were dashed immediately. But once I took my first bite, O. M. G....it was so good. Everything was cooked so well, the flavors were really good. The portions were fantastic. They had a great selection of beverages. And the service was fantastic. Also the ambience inside is so cute and homie. I will definitely be returning here on a regular basis. read more

La Unica - Shrimp tacos on flour tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Smithfield, Utah

My husband and I have been to this restaurant over 25 times, and never had a bad experience. I love the extensive menu, and have found some new favorite foods! The Aguas frescas are amazing, and have unique flavors. The tortilla chips are among our favorite items. The restaurant is always clean, and we enjoy the decor and private booths. The owner is amazing-always kind and welcoming! Other workers do a great job keeping this restaurant humming. This is one of our favorite restaurants of all time. Highly recommend! read more

I like this place as we are limited to options in Northern Utah but DO NOT use their drive up. I have left twice without food when using the drive up. First time two weeks ago, the lady on the other side could not hear me and I had to repeat my order at least four times before I gave up and left. I went yesterday and ordered this time but waited at the window for at least 11 minutes before I gave up and drove off. No one came to greet me or take my money. I just waited and waited until I couldn't wait any longer because I had kids in the car that were getting antsy. Went somewhere else to get food. If I was the manager, I would retrain his staff that take care of drive up. Its always a good wait but its been ridiculous lately. I even purposely ordered something I thought would be fast so I didn't have to wait long but it didn't work. If you want to go eat, park and go inside. read more

Food here is top notch. So much to chose from but everything is so delicious! We got the steak burrito smothered in green sauce, chicken chimichanga and birra !! Atmosphere is fun and service is fantastic and welcoming. Great place with consistent food and service! read more

La Unica - Quesa Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Smithfield, Utah

Went over lunch break, waited 30 min for food, went to counter to ask for order to be changed to go. Was asked "Why?", stated had to return to work. Cashier looked down at her order pad, she hadn't given the kitchen our order. Then proceeds to tell us our order was 'ready' literally 2 seconds after giving the cook our order. We waited another 5 min or so, as we could see our food cooking...but we really had to return to work, so we asked for a refund. Cashier said to wait....we were going to be late to work but also didn't want to leave without a refund. We finally received our food but was afraid to eat it because it was chicken and was scared it may not have been cooked thoroughly. Not a good experience read more

Genuina y autentica comida Mexicana. Pase por esta ciudad, mientras paseábamos de California. Un review decía que tenían el mejor arroz y frijoles. Y pensé, si saben hacer lo mas básico, lo demás también estará delicioso. Y no me equivoqué. El Molcajete fue una delicia! El arroz y los frijoles, súper sabrosos. Y las aguas frescas, de muchísima variedad. Mi favorita fue Fresa con crema. Lo único malo, es que ya regresé a California, y me quedan mas de 12 horas de distancia. Felicidades por su mas rico sazón y excelente servicio. read more

pedí amablemente tacos de tripa dorados, porque anteriormente estaban muy buenos y crujientes, y ahora me entregan estos tacos donde la tripa sabe a plástico, toda aguada y sin ningún tipo de sabor Estoy muy molesto y decepcionado, ya no volveré a comprar más read more

La Unica - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Smithfield, Utah

We absolutely loved it! The staff was above and beyond attentive and friendly, recommending good food and drinks to try. The food itself was great, we loved the queso and the burrito. The enchiladas could have been a little more warm in the center, but still tasted good. And the horchata and pina colada were great! A clean restaurant with staff focused on keeping it that way. Would highly recommend! read more

As soon as you walk in they greet you and make you feel welcome. The decor is vibrant. Service with a smile and the food was great. We've tried several things here and have not been disappointed. The shrimp fajitas had great flavor and were seasoned well. The quesabirria tacos were not the typical small sized ones. These were a decent size and the broth was a plus. For the michelada you get to choose the type of beer you want and it's fully loaded. During the winter season they will have champurrado, tamales, pozole and menudo can't wait! read more

This is a nice clean restaurant. You order and pay at the counter and food is brought to your table. We were here after 2 pm and it was a slower busy. The chicken taco was good with nice seasoning. The tacos cabeza (no pic) were very good. We will be back in the future. read more

Food is great but it is very expensive for Mexican food. Compared to other local Mexican restaurants the quality is good but very $$$$.

Food was amazing and staff was really friendly!!! Really enjoyed the authentic Mexican birria tacos!!

We have driven by La Unica a few times heading to Idaho. Their drinks have always been delicious! We finally decided to try the food. When we walked in we were greeted by the owner. He was very friendly and went over the menu as it was the first time we have ate there. The items were very familiar. We ordered our food and drinks and Sat down. We liked that we got chips and salsa while we waited for or food. There was a great selection on the menu I went for the chili relleno and it did not disappoint. I do usually like a green sauce on my food but the red had lots of flavor. My sister got the chicken mole and she said it was very flavorful also. We got an horchata and piña colada. They also had mango, strawberry and cucumber lime. They said on the weekends they have double the flavors to choose from. We will definitely be going back to try other items on the menu! read more

Everyone is so welcoming and kind. Over all fantastic. Everyone needs to eat here. read more

Overpriced "Mexican food" the food and drinks are ridiculous high ! The service is great but the pricing overall is terrible!

Tacos were so yummy and crispy! Service was quick and food was fresh! Very friendly and inviting staff!

First things first, this is not a review for the food. The food at La Única is wonderful, fresh and delicious. Vibrant flavors and I would say the best Mexican food in the valley The service is incredible as well. Daniel is very pleasant and friendly to everyone. That's what makes La Única such an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately there are some questionable practices with the pricing for the food. This seems to be echoed across reviews for La Única. I don't shy away from spending money on food, especially if the food is worth spending money on (which La Única usually is). However, when the price that I'm given is different than the price on the menu and there is no indication anywhere that the price would be different that's shady at best. If there are price changes then it should be advertised or else it's false advertisement. This won't deter us from coming to La Única and hopefully it doesn't put us on some black list. I just implore the owners that if you are going to change the price you let consumers know so that we can make informed decisions and avoid negative reviews. Transparency isn't too much to ask for. read more

Delicious food. Great fast service. And the owner is amazing! He's very nice! wonderful business overall. Can't wait to go back !

I was so happy to be welcomed by the owner, Daniel. I love how he shouts "Welcome" "Beinvenido, "!!!!!! I ordered the carne asada burrito and had the amazing cucumber agua fresca with lemon. Everything was amazing, and again, Daniel was shouting as you I was leaving "Thank you, Thank you my friend"! read more

Delicious AUTHENTIC food, great service, clean facilities. I would seriously recommend this as the best Mexican food in cache valley.

I have been in heaven since I started eating here. They have a variety of Aqua Fresca, and they are all soooo good. They have yummy tacos for a decent price and entrees if you want a little more. You order from the front and then take your number to your table. They will bring you chips and a salsa along with your meals. You can ask for the other hot sauce (there are two) that they will get for you. The place is clean and the people that work there are very friendly. You will notice upon arrival the guy at the register (owner?) and he is very enthusiastic. My first time there I was actually a bit flustered in ordering but after that I was good. They also have a drive through. read more

I'm currently sitting waiting for our food, and am going to review our experience chronologically! The man at the register was so kind and walked through the menu with us. First we ordered and we got one of their specialty juices, specifically the piña colada. It is delicious, and has pineapple pulp in it. We also got a basket of chips with three different salsas. Their house salsa in the bowl is a good classic, the green salsa is my personal favorite flavor wise. The hottest salsa in the bottle is hot, but not particularly flavorful. I ordered the 3 quesabirra tacos and rice and beans. The rice and beans are so delicious, the epitome of comfort food. The tacos are so well plated, and done with a sort of dipping sauce and lime to squeeze on top. It was so delicious and filling-- if you don't want to have food left over, order less than you think you will eat! To top it all off, the bus boy was so handsome and had a nice smile. If I didn't live 2.5 hours away, this would be a frequent stop for me. read more

So the food is good. However you will need to ignore the prices on the menu cause they just make up the cost as they go. Ordered the same meal 27 times, have not paid the same amount once. Today I payed $4 above menu price for my burrito. So that was fun. read more

I would lick the floor of this place it's so clean. Treated like queen's every time we go. Seriously the best Mexican food in the valley. Can't go wrong with the quesabirria tacos I think about them everyday. read more

Almost 100 miles north of Salt Lake City is this Gem! I went with the Quesabirria Tacos. And I must say it was quite the plate! Everything is really fresh tasting. From the tortillas, to the salsas and the Fresca drinks as well. Don't skip out on those. I highly suggest to grab one. I took a taste test of all the flavors but I think the Cantaloupe one might be my favorite! If you're willing to make that trek up the mountain, it's certainly worth the travel! read more

Food was so amazing. Service, well they left us alone to fend for ourselves. Clean and peaceful

We have been going to La Unica since they opened in Smithfield back in 2017. The food is amazing and we would go once a week! However, now when you go up to the counter to place your order, the owner of the store who is usually the one running the register, is like an aggressive car salesman who tries to upsell you. He has also started to become sneaky and rings the prices up higher than what they are on the menu. If you pay with a debit/credit card, you cannot bypass the tip option, and the lowest you can choose is 18%! I believe this is extremely illegal. Tipping should be an option, and I am always one to tip, but when I am forced to do so, it angers me and it is wrong. The last time I went in and ordered lunch, I chose to pay with cash. When the owner rang me up, I handed him my money and he did not seem pleased. His whole demeanor shifted, and he reluctantly took my money and dropped (not placed) the change into my hand. Obviously he was not happy that I paid with cash because he could not scam me into leaving an 18% tip. LOL Passive aggressive behavior there. I still believe they are one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Cache Valley. I am sad about this because we enjoyed their food so much. But we will not be going back due to the owner being greedy and dishonest. I am leaving this review to warn other patrons about his business ethics. read more

I have noticed the same, pricing, I order the 3 enchiladas and my wife the chimichanga, and one of the drinks in a quart jar, it was $35, the guy taking our order was loud and when it came to the tip, yelled pick the highest one! The price we figured and what we were charged was off by $10, the guy taking the orders at the cash register was so overbearing that if we go there again and see him we will go some where else. The food, it was okay, the chimichanga was packed with rice and not much meat. The 3 enchiladas were puny and tasteless. The drink in a jar was filled with ice and probably one cup of product. I am talking the Smithfield location. Some people in our party waited 15 minutes for their food, not a great experience. read more

Very high priced in the food was not that good I would recommend some other place for Mexican food. Not this place. The drinks were pretty good though and they had a good selection but they were pretty high priced. read more

Oh my goodness, where has La Unica been all my life? We ordered way too much, but now we have leftovers for two more meals. The fresh ceviche can feed a family. The pina colada and strawberry drinks were so tasty, we need to try the other flavors next time. We were told the goat tacos were one of the best items on the menu. I have to agree, the meat is so tender, not fatty at all, similar to thinly shredded pork - try it! We also had the steak quesadilla and taco barritas. Our bellies and taste buds are so happy. The owner is super friendly and kind to his customers. Our new favorite place! read more

Everything on the menu is exceptional! You can tell that all of the dishes they offer have been dialed in and perfected. Would definitely say it is the best Mexican cuisine that is offered in the valley! read more

Could have been better. I went here today, craving mexican food. Based on stellar reviews, I had high expectations. Got a singe, $8 carne asada burrito. For all of the stars, and for the $8 price tag, the carne was a terrible cut of meat. Lots of sinue and chewy. Come on Unica, you can do better at that price. I try lots of Mexican restaurants, food trucks, and stands. Maybe acceptable for a $1 street taco. Anyhow, that is how I felt about my experience. read more

Great aunt Eid Mexican food. We liked the carne asada tacos the best. The fresh drinks were also very good

Food is authentic and very good. Drive through service tends to be very slow. Friendly dine-in service.

Our all-time favorite. We moved away from Cache Valley but we make sure we stop by every time we head that way for a visit. There is no better horchata on the planet. We've looked. read more
