This place is such a vibe! Super cute aesthetic and branding, merch, decor. Tucked away in Orem. My partner loved his carne asada tacos, and I got a bean and cheese burrito. It wasn't a warm burrito - the cheese wasn't melted in my burrito, and my first couple bites were all cold cheese, no beans. But it was good and kept me full for most of the day. The tortillas were delicious and so was the green salsa that came with it. They have a very limited menu, and the menu online was different and had a few more items on it than the menu in person. Staff was friendly, we had to wait a little bit for our food but it wasn't a negative thing at all, we didn't even notice that we had been waiting a while and the staff brought us a drink to apologize. Super sweet and thoughtful!

By far my favorite restaurant. Incredible Mexican food. Would recommend this place to everyone I know. You need to try it. Each dish is so thoughtfully crafted. The service was amazing and had a great vibe.

I heard about this new restaurant and had to check it out. There was only one guy handling everything (taking orders, clearing tables, getting tortillas and salsa orders out) so I had to wait about five minutes to order, even though I was the only one in line. It started getting busy right after I got there, and the place had a lively vibe. The menu is super limited, with only two kinds of tacos and no specials. I ended up ordering six tacos, which came out to $40. I got the carne asada and pollo tacos. It's definitely on the pricey side (especially if you're a big eater) The atmosphere was nice, clean, and kind of rustic. I liked that you could see into the kitchen and watch them make the food. Between the two, the carne asada was way better. The pollo tacos didn't have much flavor and were a little dry. The carne asada tacos were fresh and had a unique flavor, but 2/4 carne asada tacos I ordered were missing the leeks which was disappointing... Overall, I liked the carne asada, but with the price and small menu, I don't know if I'd go out of my way to come back

Carne asada and carnitas tacos

Wow! Born and raised in Los Angeles I'm a Mexican food snob. While visiting Utah for Spring break our friends told us about this new restaurant that opened in Orem called Motel West. Walking in the music made you feel like you were listening to a curated Quentin Tarantino soundtrack of soul classics. The staff was very friendly and on it. I had the carne asada and carnitas tacos and oh man they were so delicious and fresh. Handmade tortillas and real fresh meats and cheese. Don't sleep on this place, it's a must.

I came here with my mom during lunch on a Thursday and it was packed to the brim. We ordered chips and salsa and 5 tacos. They brought out chips but failed to bring out the salsa for 10 min - so we ended up just snacking on chips. We waited an additional 25 min for them to bring out our tacos. The table next to us was served their dessert prior to their main food. Feel this is typical service for a brand new restaurant and will probably just need to be given time to sort out the kinks. Food was very tasty and will have me constantly craving.

Amazing food and the theme/ambience is fun. We will definitely be back. We really enjoyed all the tacos and burritos that we tried and can't wait to go back!

Kirkland chicken going in your tacos lol

Sad to see them using Kirkland rotisserie chicken here.... Also I just wanted two tacos and it's $18. I asked to only get the tacos without the rice and beans and they took it off and the price was still $17.35. Super tasty green salsa

Great vibe, servers were friendly, and the carne asada taco was 10/10. Went with a group and unfortunately all of us felt the burritos, salsa, and all other dishes were lacking flavor in a big way to where we likely wouldn't go back. The salsa seemed like just crushed tomatoes with a little cilantro. In addition to other reviews they ran out of things while we were there too. The vibes are great here and the carne asada taco lives up to the hype but everything else let us down.

Love our experience! The menu is very simple yet so unique and delicious! Definitely get the elote was amazing and the tacos are really good!! Service was excellent and the restaurant is truly one of a kind. Everything was super clean and they have patio furniture to enjoy eating outside! So fun!

Carne asada taco!

Great aesthetic! The salsa was pretty much just diced up tomatoes. I definitely think you can pass on those. The meat for the carne asada was cooked great! The salsa on the taco was the best in flavor!

This places just transported me to California! Which is a compliment! The food was great! The decor was so fun! Our servers were good! You do not have an assigned server so be aware of that!

Carne asada tacos and salsa

This place was pretty delicious! We ordered chips and salsa, two carne asada tacos, and a bean and cheese burrito. The beans and the carne adds were the best parts for me. Carne asada was super tender and really flavorful. Beans were super delicious and flavorful too. The restaurant is small but I personally love the decor and ambiance. Food is a good price too. We will be back for sure!

RUN here. From the…read moresecond we walked in everything was on point. Greeted immediately, taken care of the entire time, water never empty. Service like this just makes the whole experience. The space is so cute. Clean, simple, pretty, and there is an upstairs private area that is such a vibe. Now the food. Wow. Queso fundido was insane. 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.

The service was really good. In comparison the food was bland and greasy. Our eating buddies were…read moreso excited to try here and were equally disappointed in their meal. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. My favourite go to meal is anything Mexican. The chicken taco had no flavour at all. No spices nothing. One taco was dripping grease the other had no grease. The pork taco had a flavor. Good combination of ingredients that made it interesting The beef taco was gamey and tough. We kept chewing the beef, but the toughness won and we gave up. Pretty disappointed in the meal especially in relation to the price point of the meal.
