Queso Fundido
Jody T.

Both staff I interacted with were so kind & genuine. Chelsea was very welcoming and helpful! There were so many items on the menu I wanted to order. The 3 tacos I chose were: cactus, avocado & shrimp. They were very well presented and so tasty! The Queso was yummy. I was pleasantly surprised at the corn & sweet potato hash. The ambiance is nice. I'm so excited to recommend to friends at work & family. (I want to try the Pozole!)

Tacos, rice & beans
Bryant G.

We were a group of 7 on foot deciding where to eat in the area and said - hey there's Mexican! We stepped in a long, narrow dining area with cool decor. I couldn't tell if it was going to be cheap or overpriced. Turns out its right in the middle! It was a nice sit down lunch with a great menu. Everyone ordered different things and we all really liked the place! They have a good selection of classic Mexican food and have great salsas!

Art and seating area

Trivia: What's the name for a older tortilla soaked in salsa? (Hint: read the delightfully informational menu) Sort of bummed they don't have iced coffee. Or cold brew. But they were very accommodating with the cafe de Olla and cooked it down and placed it over ice. The Ribeye and Eggs and hash was a gargantuan portion for the price! Perfectly cooked steak (a delightful marinade, I think). The hash was maybe, probably, the star of the show. Great seasoning. Good mix of corn and herbs. Not too salty. A good mix of soft potatoes and slightly crunchy. Plenty of hot sauces and TERRIFIC service. Food was out fast. And while you wait, the art and decor was so fun to look at.

Chili Lime Salmon
Eric S.

A fun new Mexican place located in an old historic home in downtown Salt Lake City. We watched this place being constructed and it appeared they did a lot of renovations to this old building to turn it into a restaurant and we were so glad we checked it out. Reservations are available and on a busy night I would recommend it since the place is small until better weather opens up their patio seating options. They offer a full bar so you can enjoy some good libations with your meal. We started with the Queso Fundido. Wow. It came out sizzling in a skillet and was a fun presentation. The flavor was average but still a nice start to our meal. We then ordered Victor's Famous Tamales and Grilled Chile Lime Salmon. The presentation of these dishes was so nice. It's definitely Mexican food with a twist. The tamales had a great flavor and just enough of a kick but not over powering. Served with a side of rice and refried beans were tasty. The salmon looked so beautiful and served with jicama and roasted corn which was a fun twist. After our meals were served Chef Bear even visited our table to see if everything was satisfactory. He shows that he cares about what he is serving at Piko. Parking is very limited at Piko as there are only a few spots in front of the restaurant. Otherwise public street parking is the option nearby.

Pozole on the patio
Breanne C.

I had the pozole and a margarita on the patio with my dog and it was delightful. My server was great, attentive but not too attentive.

Kids cheese quesadilla
Bryce J.

We've been driving by for too long and not trying it yet. Today we finally go in. Perfect little sit down Mexican food. Brunch, lunch, drinks, TV's for game-days. We had the chorizo queso and chips made fresh, carnitas burritos, Horchata, kids quesadillas, and the Birria tacos. We loved it all. Only thing I didn't like was the mango habanero salsa. Pretty sure there was no habaneros in it and it had zero spice. Maybe just an error. The service was great. Quick to sit and quick to get drinks and food. I love the inside atmosphere. Great murals and music. Like the sitting and TV positions. They don't distract if you don't care but everyone can see them in either direction if you do want to watch the game.

Three tacos
Dylan C.

I live nearby and have been driving by the "opening soon" sign for a while so I was looking forward to giving Piko a try. The restaurant is small but it makes for a nice atmosphere. You get one wall that is brightly painted with the other being full glass doors, so it never feels cramped. The service here was also good. We were able to place our orders quickly and the food came out even faster. I got the set of three tacos which were perfectly adequate. I think the main drawback to ordering tacos at a place like Piko is that you can get them for half the price, and sometimes done better, at a few different places within just a couple miles or so. I tried three different meats; pork, chicken, and beef. All of them were good though the chicken a little dry. The side of beans and rice was nice and made sure that I wasn't hungry by the end of the meal. I'll come back since I live fairly close and want to try something that might be more of a specialty.

Pan de muerto & hot chocolate
Alyssa R.

This small locally owned business is a must try! The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was so welcoming and quick! We saw it driving by looking for a new brunch place to try and had to stop and try it, we for sure will be back again to try the dinner!

Saturday brunch is elevated with the mix of traditional Mexican dishes and breakfast staples. So many delicious options and the most friendly and warm service. Highly recommend and will be going back regularly.

Cactus and mushroom tacos with rice and beans (no cheese)
El H.

Our waitress Kelsey was extremely kind and helpful, and I would recommend asking for her specifically if you visit!

Deanne B.

The paintings on the walls is this place are beautiful! The food is very minimal- our fajitas only came with meat, some veggies and the tortillas- no salsa, cheese, sour cream or guac. You have to pay extra for chips and salsa. The servers were nice.

Chicken burrito

Mom took me for my birthday, I had the piko chicken burrito and Mom had chicken tamales, both were excellent, one of the best chicken burritos I've ever eaten, and the service was 10 out of 10

Chicken tacos -- you cannot mix and match meats.
Jarica B.

I have been sooo excited for a taco spot to take up this vacant building in the neighborhood and looked so forward to the opening. Cute decor, nice staff (a little unknowledgeable about the menu) and their drinks looked good but their food was overpriced and lacked flavor. My friend got the chicken tacos, which she said were good and I got the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas didn't have any cheese so it was just sauce, tortilla and shredded chicken. They also didn't allow for any mix and matching with meats, which I always look forward to when going to a Mexican restaurant. I might consider trying it again once they have a few months under their belt.

Like always, Yelp helped me find another great spot! We were traveling through Utah and this was…read moreour first food stop of the trip. It definitely did NOT disappoint! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean. First of all, Muertos Cantina is a total vibe! The inside is so cool with fluorescent lighting, colorful decor and bottles displayed beautifully behind the bar. Even the bathrooms are worth mentioning! Each one is decorated differently with tons of bright colors. Seriously, each bathroom is like its own little fiesta sanctuary. Now for the FOOD! They start you off with fresh tortilla chips and a trio of salsas, and the chips were AMAZING (especially the flour chips). Each salsa had its own completely different flavor. The Red Chile Arbol had some heat, the Chipitle Lime Crema was smooth & creamu, and then there was the milder Tomatillo Verde, which was my favorite. Soooo good! We also tried the Agua Frescas. They were refreshing, flavorful and really pretty to look at. The watermelon was probably our least favorite, but to me anything watermelon flavored can sometimes taste a little watered down. The pineapple was definitely the winner because it was way more flavorful and satisfying. Then came the Elote Corn Dip. YUMMY! It had fire roasted corn, cheese, spices, crema, pico de gallo, cilantro and Tajín. It had so much flavor and texture. Definitely one I would order again. My daughter chose the Birria Ramen, and I think this might have been her favorite part of the meal. It had slow cooked beef birria, consommé, melty cheese and ramen noodles with cilantro and red onions, plus lime and radishes on the side. It had a little spice to it and was absolutely packed with flavor. She loved it! My husband ordered one of their burritos with a side of tater tots. The kid in him was VERY happy that tater tots were an option. And FYI the burritos here are HUGE. I ordered the Smothered Spicy Chile Verde Burrito, and OMG. It had braised pork in chile verde sauce with rice and refried black beans, wrapped in a flour tortilla and then smothered with MORE chile verde, melted cheese and chipotle lime crema. It was MASSIVE and SO GOOD! I honestly have yet to find anything in Reno that compares to this one. I would order it again in a heartbeat. And whatever you do, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! We got the churro beignets, and they were fantastic. Covered in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel and condensed milk... seriously, what more do you need? They were the perfect way to finish the meal. Muertos Cantina ended up being such a great first stop on our Utah trip. Fun atmosphere, really good food, huge portions and so many different flavors. Again the atmosphere set the entire vibe for our meal. Yelp came through for me again!

The breakfast area was separate from the rest of the restaurant which ended up in ordering being kind of strange. I didn't really like their kiosk system. I did think the ambiance was fun and nice.

All in all, it was a good visit.

Unfortunately, our experience with our server, Letty, completely changed our opinion of this restaurant. There were two main issues that made our visit frustrating: 1. We did not receive our drinks until after our food arrived, and we actually had to remind our server that we were still waiting on them. When Letty brought out our food, we politely asked about our two cokes and were told, "Give her more time." We felt we had already been very patient and only asked after our food had arrived. Waiting for drinks while eating a meal was frustrating, especially since the restaurant was not busy and was actually starting to slow down during the last hour we were there (around 8-9 PM). 2. While we were eating, Letty refilled our water and the table next to us, then continued having a long conversation with the neighboring table while standing very close to us. It felt like we were being completely ignored, and the lack of awareness for our personal space made it difficult for my husband especially to comfortably enjoy his meal. We understand that everyone has busy shifts, but the level of attentiveness and service we experienced was disappointing. We left feeling frustrated and unlikely to return after this visit and would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

I was pleasantly surprised by the decor inside, they have spent a great deal for this location. I ordered chips and salsa to start. These were not complimentary but when they arrived the salsa was fresh and unique. I was glad I ordered them. My wife chose the carne asada burrito. She raved about the flavor and could only finish half. I ordered a unique taco which had an authentic name this gringo cannot remember but it was built on a house made corn tortilla about twenty inches long and ten inches wide. Steak, Mexican cream, tomatillo sauce, freshly shredded lettuce and cheese. I've never had anything like it but it is awesome. The service was quick and efficient. Very delightful people. The check had included a 15% Service Charge so I was glad to see the options on the screen to add a tip began at a level that matched up with the service charge at a reasonable level. I only had one complaint, The music was a little loud. The sound system is great and I loved the authentic music but the baseline was pumping loud enough to hurt my ears. I'd recommend adjusting the volume or the mix to make it a little more comfortable. Overall I loved this experience and will definitely want to come again. No pictures, sorry.

They seem to be oddly near each other, and you can't really go wrong with either one. Parking was a challenge in the lot right next to it, but they also have a lot a block or so down the road (or is it up the road?) where I found parking. I got lucky on a weekday evening and there was no line and I was pretty much seated within 5 mins. Awesome. They have a pretty big menu and I decided on the Don Ramon tacos with Chicken which were delicious. I wanted more stuff but I had a big lunch that day and just couldn't overdo it. The Mezcal Margarita was good and hit the spot, but you're really here for the food. I didn't get the Mole here, but it was amazing at the other location and they have so many different kinds. Don't sleep on the mole... because that would be kinda gross.

In our recent girls trip to Salt Lake City, I was in charge of finding spots for us to dine. Easy…read morepeasy task for me and one I enjoy doing! I had seen countless social media posts about this spot, so we made a reservation online and headed over to the famed spot on a Saturday evening! STAR #1: The space is SO colorful, interior splashed with paint and colorful artwork - which creates the most inviting space! The interior is massive, offering a large dining room and a covered outdoor dining space. Upon arrival, we were led to the outdoor dining space - as the main dining room was being used for a party of some sort. BUMMER: The covered, insulated patio was HOT. Like 95 degrees hot. Thankfully we were shaded and the fans were turned on, but the movement of warm air, couldn't cool the room down, so everyone was sweating, including our drinks! HA! STAR #2: The service was so friendly and welcoming! Our server greeted us, took our drink order and brought us over the complimentary chips and salsa. She brought our drinks, had our waters refilled often and had assistance delivering all our food. Overall, she was extremely pleasant! STAR #3: I'm such a fan of the NA/mocktail movement and the drink menu proved to cater to us sober gals! I opted for an NA Corona which totally hit the spot in the 90-degree heat, while the girls opted for full strength house margaritas. They both said the drinks were strong but well mixed! BUMMER: I have to take a start off for the food. It was okay. Definitely nothing special and pretty bland, but okay. The chips and salsa were a great start; salsa was both smoky and spicy. I ordered the fish tacos which were entirely different than I expected, in that my fish was grilled with hardly anything else in the tortilla. Despite the extra fixin's (lime + slaw + sour cream mixture) each bite was extremely dry. BAH. The girls seemed to like their entrees - enchiladas and carne asada plate - but I found mine to be underwhelming. One item worth ordering is the sopapillas. Get a small order - as it comes with 6+ sopapilla triangles! The whipped cream and cherry weren't necessary, but the perfect pillowy pocket of honey filled dough, was the perfect way to end the meal! YUM! When in Salt Lake, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
