    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!

    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!)

    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.

    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.

    Kids cheese quesadilla

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    Cactus and mushroom tacos with rice and beans (no cheese)

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

    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 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.

    Piko bowl with mushrooms and nopales added

    Was excited to try out the brunch, and it did not disappoint! Chilaquiles divorciados were amazing, and the pancakes were just as good as advertised. With their mushroom & nopales protein option, it was easy to eat vegetarian (or vegan, without the cheese). Sat outside and the ambiance was perfect for brunch--great music but not too loud, warm day but shaded thanks to the giant tree and umbrellas. Service was friendly and fast. Already planning my next visit!

    Matcha Cafe Kyoto - Matcha shaved ice

    Matcha Cafe Kyoto

    4.7(126 reviews)
    2.6 miSugar House

    I recently moved to SLC from SoCal and Matcha Café Kyoto came up in my online algorithm (probably…read morebc I have been checking out local sweets and dessert places). I thought it sounded yummy since I enjoy matcha and ube. So I checked it out today for a post-lunch dessert. I really enjoyed it and definitely plan on returning to try some of their other offerings. Today I ordered the matcha ube shaved ice and the cherry blossom latte (I had them make mine using coconut milk). I ate the shaved ice at the cafe and took the cherry blossom latte to go because I wanted to drink it later. They put it in a cute bag! Since it was my first visit there I wanted to try the ube and matcha separately, so for the shaved ice I ordered matcha shaved ice on the bottom, followed by the matcha soft serve and then the ube soft serve on top of that. Next time I order the shaved ice, I think I will most likely have the matcha shaved ice with the matcha/ube twist soft serve on top now that I know how each one tastes on their own. I also would do matcha shaved ice with just the ube soft serve on top. Or maybe ube shaved ice with matcha soft serve on top. The matcha was tasty, and like other reviewers have said, you can tell it's good quality matcha. I really enjoyed the ube, it was very yummy to me. I think for my next visit I'm going to try the ube parfait. The cherry blossom latte was good. I got the sweetened version (it was lightly sweetened not super sweet, which I liked). I didn't want something super sweet. It didn't/doesn't have matcha in it. That was fine with me because I wanted to save it for later and didn't want to have caffeine later in the day. I do think it would taste good with matcha in it though. Overall I enjoyed this cafe. I look forward to trying more items. As of right now the other things I want to try are the ube parfait, the shaved ice again, the warabimochi, the hojicha yuzu latte, and the strawberry matcha latte. If you like matcha and/or ube, I would definitely recommend checking out Matcha Café Kyoto. I know I will be again. Support a local business so that they are able to stay around for us to enjoy.

    I was finally in the area to try it out. I love matcha so I was excited! The place is small &…read morelimited seating but seems like most took their drinks to-go. The bathroom is hidden to the right of the store walking in. Just a warning, the further you go in the store, the more it smells like bathroom... When I first walked in, I wasn't greeted - which is fine, there were a handful of people inside. While ordering, I had asked what was popular and what the cashier suggests, and she said "matcha". I told her it was my first time but she didn't proceed with any recommendations. I decided to go with the ube matcha with oatmilk. She then asked if I'd like cream with it, I had asked if she suggested it and she responds with "well everyone gets it with creamer". Ok so I agreed to try it out. Why not cause everyone gets it with creamer right? I waited about 10 mins, which isn't bad considering the amount of people. She called my name and had 3 other drinks with her. I asked her if the one she was handing me was with oatmilk , and she says "well that's what you ordered right" I tried it and it wasn't oatmilk. I brought it up to her attention and she kinda just said "sorry" and that was all....unfortunately, I can't say it was the best service. If I decide to come back next time, I'll only get straight matcha instead of a latte just to try again. The matcha didn't have a strong taste to it. It was on the watery side. Perhaps I came on the wrong day a they were off with their orders. Who knows...

    If you're looking for pastries that are as stunning as they are delicious, Fillings & Emulsions…read moreabsolutely delivers. Their fruit-shaped creations are little works of art--so realistic it almost feels wrong to eat them... almost. Each pastry is fresh, light, and packed with flavor. The pistachio was incredibly tasty, though definitely on the richer side, so it's one you might want to savor slowly. The raspberry had a beautifully balanced sweetness with a vibrant, delicious filling. The lemon was very zingy--almost intensely so--but still delightful if you enjoy bold citrus flavors (just maybe not an entire one in a single sitting). The standout, though, was the mango. Easily the winner. It had such a bright, powerful flavor, and the fresh mango inside made every bite feel special. Everything about it--from taste to presentation--was just beautiful. The only slight letdown was the macarons. While still good, they didn't quite match the intensity and uniqueness of the pastries and felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you appreciate creative, high-quality desserts. It's clear a lot of skill and care goes into every piece. I loved the building that the pastry shop was in, as it had a "lunch room" feel to it. There are a few restaurants inside so there are options and there's plenty of seating.

    I'm the first to admit that I am influenced by social media. So when my fiancé and I just so…read morehappened to be in the area, we had to stop and get a little treat. The sweet cashier recommended Strawberry & Mango, so that's what we got. They were delicious! I think the mango was my personal favorite. The crunch of the chocolate coating was so satisfying and the fillings soft and gooey. It didn't feel artificial either! The location is in a food mall, which I wasn't expecting but it was so cute inside. I wish we had more time to check out the other vendors but we'll have to come back. On a separate note, it was kind of hard to find a trash can.
