Our server was a very kind young man and took good care of us, but with the quality of the food and the price, I really wouldn't suggest trying. The fish tacos are fried (and probably frozen from Sysco), the chorizo tacos I ordered were burnt to the point where it wasn't enjoyable to eat. The pastor was honestly really good though. My wife enjoyed the enchiladas, but again, $15 for the plate we got just seemed agressive and inconsiderate of the customers. The restaurant itself was nice enough, not particularly dirty or clean. The door leading to outside seating was locked, apparently we couldn't eat out there. It's not the worst I've had, but the value for price is insanely low.

They put a lot of meat in the taco for the al pastor although the shrimp taco only had three pieces of shrimp so I couldn't even finish the full taco because there was not enough shrimp in it. The salsa is very delicious as well. I love that they give you a small bag of chips and salsa with your order. Their beans are very good and I always get a side of them. They are very authentic! Their food is very fresh and flavorful. They have a large menu and can accommodate anyone's needs! The service is always good too. I appreciate that everything is made to order!

Sonora on Main Street Do not let the location fool you…read more Tucked into a corner spot near the freeway entrance on Main Street American Fork, Ocotillo is easy to drive past and a mistake to miss. Step inside and you will find a beautifully decorated space with an open kitchen greeting you at the entrance and a staff that is genuinely enthusiastic about the food they are serving. Ocotillo specializes in the cuisine of Sonora, Mexico, a region known for bold meat and seafood dishes. They also offer a daily brunch menu that is worth planning your weekend around. We ordered the tres leches pancakes, a triple stack that delivers exactly what the name promises. Bathed in a three milk mixture and topped with fresh berries and whipped cream, moist but not to sweet. The Sonorense combination was equally impressive. Arrachera steak strips, chilaquiles made with poblano chile, a tamal de elote, and two eggs. The arrachera was excellent and the chilaquiles were crispy, which is exactly how they should be and not something every kitchen gets right. The menu is long enough that choosing something different next time will be a genuine challenge. Omelettes, chilaquiles, brioches, and other specialties give you plenty of reasons to return. We are already looking forward to exploring the lunch and dinner menu. Slightly more expensive than a standard breakfast spot, but the generous portions and the quality of the ingredients justify every dollar. Five stars without hesitation.

So simple, yet so good, as tacos should be! Their food here is very straight forward - Mexican and tasty, no extra bells and whistles. I bought about 10 tacos on Tuesday, since they have a Taco Tuesday deal. Some meats don't apply to the deal, like tripe, but that's okay. It was worth the few extra bucks. For tacos, I got asada, pollo, cabeza, tripe, al pastor, and lengua. Their service is good, quick enough, and the works are kind. I will say, there might be a slight language barrier (Spanish vs. English) but nothing to worry about. This location is quite big, lots of tables! Inside of this location, there is also a dessert/drink spot. I love the protein options they have here. I sometimes just order by the pound with their Spanish red rice and call it a good night! They also have a salsa bar with all the toppings you can want on a taco. I'll always be returning to Don Joaquin!

Like most Mexican restaurants, they start you off with chips and salsa. The salsa itself was pretty good and had a kick to it that kind of surprised us. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were good, but I felt like they were missing something, so I ended up adding the salsa from the chips onto the tacos. The rice and beans unfortunately lacked flavor, and I honestly couldn't finish them. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas, but they accidentally brought him a tamale and chile relleno instead. I wanted to say something, but he just wanted to let it go and eat it anyway. The tamale was pretty good, and he didn't mind the chile relleno either. Overall, not a terrible experience, just not somewhere I'd personally rush back to.

We've tried multiple dishes and have not been disappointed. My kids love the chips and salsa compared to most other Mexican restaurants. The service is always quick and friendly. Everyone pretty much knows our orders at this point. We're always greeted immediately by the hosts, and our waiter/waitress not long after. They are always happy to talk and catch up. There are probably 3 or 4 closer locations to us (live in West Jordan), but with the service and food we've had consistently at this location, it's worth the drive.

Goodbye old friend…read more My family and I have been going to this restaurant for 16 years. We know the owner, he knows us. Over the last 5-6 years we have seldomly ate here for a few reasons. The quality has decreased, the rice is often hard. Last night we decided to give it another go hoping for a better (old time) experience. I ordered a smothered burrito- and received a flat tortilla smothered with a little amount of beans on the inside . There were a total of 2 chunks of pork on the outside of the plate and zero pork on the inside of my burrito. My husband also ordered a smothered burrito and received a bean and cheese burrito half ass smothered. My son didn't get a side of beans he ordered and the waitress didn't give us a chance to order drinks. Their prices have doubled since our last visit as well. I paid $15 for a burrito smothered in chili verde sauce without the protein. I'm highly disappointed and it was unanimous this restaurant is no longer what it once was, we will unfortunately not be back.

I the tortillas weren't really cooked or heated through very well and there was literally no cheese. When I flagged down the young man who seemed to the shift, he very politely told me expensive and they were cutting back on it. When I showed him my taco with literally 2 to 3 tiny shreds of cheese on it, instead of the cooked cheese shell that I was accustomed to, he was like "oh whoa that's not enough!" no kidding. Additionally, the meat was overcooked, kind of crispy and crunchy as opposed to being tender or juicy. We each got two tacos, we each got the bird and my husband got a Memphis and I got fleeing Californian. None of them were up to smoked taco standards. I tried to leave a review through their website and what I got was "Sorry this seems like Spam so you can't submit this review." How to lose a in one visit. This would be the way. But I'm sad because they really did have something unique going for them, very tasty. Very intriguing mix of flavors. But you gotta bring back the cheese guys you gotta bring back the cheese and the crispy crust and the tender meat because that's why we showed up in the first place.
