They also got a different price for cash and card but the different prices aren't listed on the menu or anywhere actually they just put the extra charges on the receipt in small letters! I already made a report with the BBB for price transparency and contacted the Utah division of consumer protection. It's just greedy. Please don't waste your money. You will end up spending over $50 on two items not including a drink when the menu price says $15.

I came in here and there was only one worker and no one in the store. The place itself was a bit…read moredisheveled... The menu had no prices on most of the items. The worker didn't speak English at all. I asked for one of the specials that were painted on the windows and he didn't know what I was talking about. I asked for three tacos and when he asked me if I wanted onions/cilantros, I said no. I got my tacos and they all had cilantros and onions. Worse off, it wasn't even good. This was a horrible experience overall and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It was a complete waste of $10.97.

So when I saw that today was opening day I could not think of anything better than see why this chicken crossed the road to west side of salt lake. We opted to just go through the drive through as it looked like the dining area was packed tighter than a dozen eggs and we had a "chick" flick waiting for us at home. But man I wish I would have because while waiting for the food I got out of the car and wandered in to see what all the clucking and chatter that was coming from the hen house was all about. They had live music for the opening night and many happy people just loving the feast that this place can bring. When it came to the food we had to taste the chicken after all it is award winning, and as far as my taste buds could see it was well deserved. I recently had been to a chicken place in another part of this great state that left me sorely disappointed. Senor Pollo has brought me back to believing that good tasting chicken can be found. We also got the tacos obviously had to try all three meats and each one was "egg-ceptional". I usually don't order chicken tacos but again had to pay my respect to the best. Again Senor Pollo had me pecking at every last morsel. We will definitely be doing the chicken dance all the way here next time we come.

Unfortunately, this visit was very different. We were seated quickly and given menus, but then no one came to greet us or take care of us. We watched several other tables get seated and receive chips and salsa while we continued waiting. The restaurant was somewhat busy, so at first we assumed they were just behind. After waiting quite a while, I finally got up and spoke with one of the managers at the front. He immediately apologized and sent someone over to our table, who was also very apologetic. We ordered two tamales as an appetizer--which were amazing and definitely lived up to what they are known for--and shared the enchiladas since they come with four. Our first server brought the tamales and then told us that Nadia would be taking over our table. However, we never saw Nadia. Eventually, the other server brought our enchiladas, which were also very good. Unfortunately, after that, no one came back to check on us for the remainder of the meal. I had ordered water with ice, which had completely melted, and honestly wished I had ordered something else because there was never an opportunity to ask. At that point, it felt like we had once again been forgotten. A different manager eventually came over and apologized again. He offered to pay for our dinner, which was an incredibly generous gesture and very much appreciated. The whole situation was a little awkward because we could see staff at the front discussing the situation and looking over at our table, but then no one actually came back to check on us. When we were ready to leave, I finally got up and asked if there was anything we needed to do before leaving. Thankfully, the manager confirmed everything had been taken care of. I really have to give credit to the restaurant managers for recognizing the situation and doing their best to make it right. We have eaten here several times before and the food has consistently been excellent, especially the tamales. Because of our previous experiences and the way management handled this situation, we will definitely be back. Hopefully, this was just an unfortunate one-off experience because La Casa del Tamal truly has amazing food.

Your New Taco Tuesday Headquarters West Valley has no…read moreshortage of taco options, but El Jaripeo Tacos Grill 2 has a way of making every other option feel unnecessary once you have been here. Authentic Mexican street food, a spotless dining room, and a salsa bar that is worth the trip. If you can make it on a Tuesday, do it. Most tacos drop to $1.50 from their regular $2, which means you can eat like a "rey". The aguas frescas are made with real fruit and it shows. The pineapple was sweet, fresh, and exactly what you want alongside spicy food. The horchata had a slightly sandy texture that was not quite my thing, but your experience may vary. Now for the tacos, served properly on thick corn tortillas. The chorizo is a spiced pork sausage with some heat. The "al pastor" is spit-roasted pork marinated in dried chiles as the dish should be. The tripa, pan-fried beef intestines, is not for everyone, but if you are adventurous it is crispy and delicious. Two pro tips: ask the taquero to grill the meats a few extra seconds for added crispiness, and ask for grilled onions. Both are game changers. Five stars and a permanent spot on my rotation.
