I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and it didn't disappoint. Their menu is simple…read morewith only a handful of options but I honestly prefer going to a place where they master their menu rather than try to do it all. The vibe inside is really cool and cozy. We ordered their Carnita Tacos and chilaquiles con crema, both were really good especially the tacos! They tasted so fresh with the pickled cucumber, YUM. My only complaint was that the chilaquiles were a little cold, they still tasted really good just not as warm as I would've liked.

The vibe that Motel West emulates is a modern country vibe. The menu and fonts they used are…read moreadorable but lack cultural significance that usually comes with these kinds of places ! Seating is pretty poorly done, the inside of the restaurant was BOILING hot...we literally requested to sit outside because of how humid it felt inside. It seems not well ventilated and so the cooking was adding to the heat indoors. Seats were all different and lacked consistency in furniture choices. After seating, our waitress got to us pretty late. Waters didn't have ice which I think is a poor choice in ANY establishment. Cooled water gets to be room temp fast !!! Our food took a LONG time to come. I ordered the Rajas burrito with pollo, which came to about $12 before tax...an expensive burrito ! The chicken used in the Rajas burrito is the same chicken from a different burrito - as the waitress told me. They only have ONE type of grilled chipotle chicken that they just add into everything, which I view as a lazy course of action. My burrito came and I found myself disappointed by the size. For a $12 burrito and a 20+ minute wait ? Not worth it ! However, the flavor was well done and the cheese + beans came to be very creamy. They provided a "hot sauce" which tasted more like a sweet mango-y salsa. My burrito was also poorly wrapped and fell apart as I ate it but watched my friends who had tightly wrapped burritos enjoy their meals. So the inconsistency is disappointing, especially for the time that it seemingly took for the food to be made. Overall, I think this is an overly americanized Mexican place. It's like a missionary came home from the south americas and wanted to bring "culture" to Utah. It's disappointing to see the small portions for bigger prices. Service was poor and our waitress rarely checked in other than to drop off a jug of water for us to self-poor our cups. (Which I didn't see done for the table next to us. So I believe this was a lazy choice on our waitresses part.) Though the business seemed busy, the food, service, and overall atmosphere were lacking. I believe the food came short of the authenticity and charm that usually comes with latin food restaurants.

The meat was high quality but we've been a little spoiled with tacos that are pre stuffed with lots of goodies. I did find these to be fairly bland and basic. Even some cheese with the meat would have helped. They were also pretty wet with the broth which made a huge mess. Really good meat though. Portion size was too small for my husband.

Since they do this so well, they don't need to have a robust menu with other meats...if you want a huge variety, go somewhere else. But if you want to try their specialty, you won't regret it. The branding and décor inside are well done-my family especially liked the sugar skulls that adorned an entire wall. My son opted for the ramen and ended up struggling to finish it. Word of caution: it's HOT! If you don't do heat well, this might be one to skip. I had the birrio tacos (duh) and they were fabulous. And my wife had the quesadilla which was cheese and meat and said they were also outstanding. We will definitely return for more!

If I ever come back to Utah or drive through, I'd definitely stop by and get more food. My friend got a fried sushi roll. He said it was pretty good. Wasn't the best sushi roll, but for it being a hybrid it was pretty good. And they serve beer on Sunday!!!

The jalapeños had the perfect kick and the homemade tortillas are hands down the best tortillas. I would go back just for those. Empanadas and tinga tostados were packed with flavor but listen to me... GET THE LAMB. It was unreal. And then dessert. The hibiscus poached pear with whipped cream. Light, unique, not too sweet, just perfect. Everything was beautifully plated. Every single thing felt intentional. 10 out of 10. Cannot wait to go back next time I am in Utah.
