Do NOT sleep on the Mexican food in Utah! Despite Don Joaquin being a chain, I think they serve…read moresome of the best Mexican food in Utah, specifically their tacos. 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!

It was my first time trying The Smoked Taco. The vibe was casual and laid-back. I tried the Surf &…read moreTurf, the BLT taco, and the churro fries. The Surf & Turf sounded promising, but it didn't quite live up to expectations. The steak and shrimp were fine, but nothing particularly stood out, and there were fewer pieces of shrimp than I thought there'd be. Again, it wasn't bad, just not as memorable as I hoped it would be. The BLT taco also fell a bit flat. It wasn't terrible, but it felt kind of basic and underwhelming compared to what you might expect from a specialty taco shop. For the price, I wouldn't order it again. The churro fries, though, were good -- crisp, warm, and coated in cinnamon sugar. The whipped cream that came with it was delicious as well (I'm not usually a fan of whipped cream). The portion was really big; definitely enough for four people to share. Overall, the experience had some hits and misses. The service was good. I didn't have to wait long before I got my food. The staff members were helpful and friendly.

We wanted tacos for Cinco de Mayo and figured we'd give Jurassic Tacos a try…read more We ordered 4 al pastor tacos, 1 chicken, and 1 steak taco. The total came out to about $30, which at first felt a little expensive for tacos, but once we got them we realized these definitely aren't your regular street tacos. Each one came with fresh homemade flour tortillas, fried cheese, sauce, and toppings that were different depending on the meat. My favorites were the chicken and steak tacos. The al pastor was still good, just not my personal favorite. It was a little sweet.. it kind of reminded me of a Mexican candy I've had before, but I still can't quite put my finger on it. The service was friendly, but our food did take a while to come out.

I think the last time I went was just a bad experience. The customer service was great, the guy was very friendly. They had a lot of side options to choose from, free of charge.

Everything was good and there was no issue with the meat. The place was very clean and had a homey feel. They definitely stick with their dinosaur brand haha. Will definitely come back.

I dont often review restaurants because i find most average at best. Some are terrible, they might…read moreget a review, but a few I really like. Those that I like have to meet a few requirements that I have for eating. I have celiacs, so i avoid gluten at all cost, including any moderate chance of cross contamination, Corn also bothers me so another food that I avoid. beyond that I am picky with what goes into my food and how the food is prepared. Now to the review. the first thing I do at any restaurant is ask about their gluten free options and about cross contamination. This was the first day that the Provo location was open, so I expected there would be blank stares. believe it or not that happens a lot. Here they knew about some of the food but not all of it when it came to my questions. So they went back to ask, "I want to make sure so let me ask". the next thing i knew I was speaking to the owner, going over all of the items and the options I had and what to avoid. He made some suggestions and we went ahead with our order. I got. the tri tip steak and my wife got gnochi. Oh another thing about how i like my food. I like the ingredients, steak, potatoes, vegetables, etc, seasoned and not the other way around. I find a lot of places over season their food. Not here. the steak, veggies, and mashed potatoes were lightly seasoned, just enough to enhance the flavor but not overwhelm the core ingredient. the steak was tender, the vegetables perfectly cooked and seasoned. I didn't even try and figure our what seasonings they used, I just enjoyed the meal. Short of this part of the meal, fantastic. With the gnochi, we had a little bit of an issue. There was a problem with how they were cooked, they were a little stiffer than they should be, but the sauce they were in was fantastic. BTW, they are not gluten free, so this is my wife's perspective. When they asked how our meal was we mentioned that to them. They looked at the gnochi and agreed. they then didn't just correct the issue, but went above and beyond. They asked if we wanted something else, made a suggestion since we couldn't decide and prepared that for us. They also did something else while we were there. They tried to make more batches of the gnocchi, not for us but so that they could see what went wrong. Then came back and told us what they had done and the results. The service was some of the best I have ever had. They had a good selection of gluten free options, depending on your sensitivity your options might change, but there are plenty of options and a few that are not on the menu. The owner suggested a burger on mashed potatoes, even though they have a gluten free bun. My gluten sensitvity is pretty high, so he was providing as many options for me as possible. All in all, I really liked the food, the service, and the attention to my food sensitivities.

I've been curious to try it since someone described it to me as "a cheaper and just as delicious Sol Agave." It was cheaper and it was as delicious but the dishes lack the novelty that sol agave has.

The service was super kind but they were sorely understaffed. There was only 1 lady attending to about 7 different groups, I felt bad for her.

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.

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.
