You can't get better tacos than at Tacos Lopez! I order the quesadilla Al Pastor and the quesadilla Suadero! Then I put a bunch of the really spicy orange colored chili on it. These are SO GOOD! Definitely a must try and must return to restaurant! You will only regret NOT trying Tacos Lopez. read more

I was craving tacos and had this place recommended to me by several of my Latino classmates, so I had pretty high hopes. It was okay, but I may also just have really high expectations coming from the Mission District in SF. I ordered 9 tacos total at $3.40 each and tried the asada, al pastor, chorizo, and tripa. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with the flavor of all the meats. None of them really stood out or had much seasoning. It felt like the meat was just cooked until cooked and that was about it. The tortillas were also a little dry and had an almost sandpaper-like texture, which didn't help. The saving grace was the toppings and sauces. They offer onions and jalapeños to add to your tacos, and their sauces were actually delicious. Those added a lot of the flavor that I felt was missing from the tacos themselves. Overall, not terrible, but based on how highly it was recommended to me, I was expecting a lot more :p read more

Tacos Lopez - Mexican Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

As a San Diego boy, this is as close as I think you can get to that street taco vibe that Southern California is known for. Would say that the Carne was ok, but the other meats I had were pretty great (Al Pastor, Suadero, Lengua). Hot sauces are spicy, so you don't need much unless you're a sicko. Portions are decent too. They hook it up with onions and jalapeños if you ask as well! read more

Tacos Lopez - Tacos, Quesadillas, Mulita - Mexican Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

We were in the area and had to stop in to Tacos Lopez! We actually drove past it before turning back to find it! What a great experience- you got to know what you want before heading to the counter. The folks are really nice but the crowd will be expecting you to move along! At 345pm on a Saturday is amazing! We did end up getting a table but it is BUSY! The taco choice is fantastic- we got 5 Carne Asada 4 pastor and a cheese quesadilla which came with beans and cheese. The food is fantastic and love that they dressed all the tacos. Got the grill onions and jalapeño on the side all excellent. The restaurant is busy - it's a quick meal but awesome tacos read more

The tacos were really good. Didn't need the additional sauces because the seasoning was flavorful enough especially the al pastor and the asada. read more

Some of the best tacos I've had, anywhere. All of the meats we tried (al pastor, carne asada, chorizo) were incredible. We saw the huge al pastor rotisserie and thought nothing would top that, but all options were truly excellent. The guac, tortillas, and agua frescas were also top-notch. There's a salsa bar with several options, one of which had a nice heat! My husband recommends the quesadillas too. It's busy, crowded, and loud- we felt lucky to grab a couple spots at the counter- but things move quickly, and we didn't see anyone waiting too long for food. Will definitely return! read more

No frills, straight up, excellent food. Everything we have tried is reminiscent of growing up in San Diego, where we have Tijuana style tacos in abundance. The salsa bar is plentiful and SPICY. Service is quick and straight forward. Depending on the cashier, you'll need to know enough Spanish to order your tacos, including specifying corn/flour. I wish it had more seating. read more

The food was mid, it did have a lot of flavor but unfortunately, we got food poisoning (4 out of 5 did) because he only had a horchata and did not even eat anything so he looked out, but us other four was extremely sick. This is a very small building for how busy it is and how loud the music is playing you can't even hear the cashier! it's just not a very clean environment. Brings me back to the cashier who couldn't hear me and messed up my order (reason why my son didn't eat here) she didn't even get the poor kid cheese quesadilla.... WORST FIRST EXPERIENCE HERE AND WONT EVER RECOMMEND!! One thing for advice on the employees is to WASH YOUR HANDS and learn English because you didn't even understand the words of the little old lady who ordered before us!!! read more

This place is absolutely to die for! There's always a line and I do feel like the prices continue to go up decently fast, but their food continues to impress! I do wish they had more seating in this location as every time I go I feel like I'm sitting with a random group or I have to go sit outside and in the winter months that's not always the best thing. Make sure to get their Horchata as it is excellent. read more

High energy dining experience with a wide selection of tacos. While service ordering food is often transactional at best (due to the constant stream of patrons that never seems to slow), service from the kitchen at pick-up is always friendly and warm. The open kitchen fills the establishment with energy and plenty of great smells. read more

The best tacos around. Al pastor, carne asada, cabeza is all good. You have to tell them to hold the guac and cilantro if you don't want it, as it comes standard. read more

This al pastor is some of the best anywhere! It's cut off of a vertical el trompo spit with a tasty redish marinade, tender chunks of pork, super good. The best way I've enjoyed it is inside a Vampiro, stuffed and overflowing with meat for around $6 each. It's basically a mulita instead between two cracker crispy tortillas. I also tried one of their Tijuana-style street tacos, their asada, average in size, meat with good flavor, and smothered in guacamole. I liked it, but not worth $3 each. The public knows about the quality of this place, so it can be hard to get a table. But they have a lot of staff so food usually doesn't take too awfully long, though cooked fresh. They aren't too into customer service here, just get you in and get you out. It's fast casual, so order at the counter. Their little patio right next to the parking lot has clean tables. And they have a nice salsa bar, so load up on that yummy creamy (and lil spicy) orange salsa. I'll definitely be a regular. read more

For the amount of love and attention these guys receive, they know how to keep up the pace with their service! This place serves amazing authentic tacos and runs like a well oiled machine. The Al pastor and asado were our favorites but everything we tried was delicious (buche, lengua, cabeza, and suadero among the others.) the salsa bar doesn't offer mild options which I don't mind but it's something for others to be aware of. The cooked onions and jalapeños offered with your food are an awesome touch! read more

food quality: 5/5 service: 5/5 cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 Don't skip on: Vampiros (I love the Lengua!) I absolutely love this place. They have the best tacos and everything is made to order with super fresh ingredients! You know it's a good place when it's always busy- that's when the best food comes out. The staff here are super friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is well-kept. Highly recommended for your taco fix! read more

Excellent food! Been a few times, always a packed place. Service has been good. It's an order at the register and pickup the food at the counter type of place. Speaking Spanish will actually do you good. read more

This has got to be one of The Best tacos in the valley. No, I haven't tried every single taco in the valley, of course. And since I've only lived here for five months, I'm definitely a newbie. But I can definitely stand by my statement. Let me explain... I just moved from Tucson, Arizona. You know...Tucson? Mexican food utopia? Tucson is the first North American city to be named by UNESCO as a Gastronomic Capital of the World. Yep. Mostly for its wide variety and quality of Mexican food, Tucson has an incredible array of cultures represented in restaurant cuisine. I've been a Yelp Elite there for 13 years. I have eaten at a lot of tacos from restaurants and the dynamic food truck scene there. I had my doubts moving here that I would find any good Mexican food. Tacos Lopez has the best al pastor that I've ever had in my life! You read that right. I knew that I was at the right place. I arrived five minutes to closing. It was still busy and bustling with business. Shoot, it was party time there. There was no English being spoken in the restaurant. Yes, I'm at the right place. The tacos are Tijuana style. The meat is SOOOOO good! The carne asada is also muy excellente! I just love the presentation, the ingredients, the flavors--everything is excellent. I enjoy their horchata and limonade. I always say "Si!" when they ask if I want the onions and peppers. They are grilled onions and jalapeno peppers and they are SO good! Served in a paper tray. I've been here four or five times. Consistently good. Service is quick. Ambiance is a busy cafe, crowded, you probably share a long table with others. There is outdoor seating, which is always full because every time I've been there, it has been packed. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

Tacos Lopez - Al pastor tacos and asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

These were the best tacos I've had in Salt Lake. I got the al pastor, suadero, and chorizo tacos, and they all were incredible, but, of course, chorizo was my favorite. So much flavor and juiciness--unlike anything else I've had in Utah so far. I'm so glad my office is 5 minutes away, but I will probably lose a lot of money for lunchtime taco runs. The restaurant doesn't have too much room for the amount of business they get, but they do also have covered tables outside which is a nice option as well. The staff are all friendly, and will gladly get you anything you need. The tacos came out fast and fresh. They run a tight ship and are worthy of all the hype and more! Go get some tacos NOW. read more

Great food! Would highly recommend this place. Authentic tacos, friendly people and service!

My brother and I stopped in because they were open after 10pm and didn't want fast food. The place was absolutely packed, with a line out the door. Looking around, we could tell we were in for a treat. These tacos are the bomb. I had a lingua taco and a lingua quesadilla. Could have done without the taco, the quesadilla was a full meal on its own. Spicy and cooked perfectly, the tortilla was one of the best I've had in my life. Grilled onions and peppers served with each dish. The real deal. read more

Visiting from California and WOW these tacos were 10/10. Service was so kind and food came out fast. So fresh and delicious, we got basically one of every taco and each one was incredible and had so much flavor! We also got a quesadilla and it was also 10/10. If you are near this place do yourself a favor and go immediately! read more

Everything is top tier every time. The al pastor is especially incredible! It's flavorful and I always get 5 tacos. They are that good. The ambiance is authentic and the service is very kind! The seating is hard when it's busy but it's worth it even if you take it to go! read more

Tacos Lopez - Al pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

The best Al pastor tacos I've had in SLC. This place is to die for. They definitely need more locations. They're so popular, the restaurant is almost always too crowded, and pretty messy with long waits. But the wait is absolutely worth it. read more

Excellent quality food. The flavors are just what they should be. I will go there again.

Definitely my favorite tacos in Utah. Buche and chorizo were my favorites. Can get busy, but worth the wait.

Favorite Taco joint in the greater Salt Lake area, taking the throne from Chungas (also wonderful) but if you like crispy, smoky Al Pastor with fiery red salsa, this is your place. The location feels new and fresh and has plenty of seating both indoor and out. Being from Las Vegas (and LA before that), it's always been amazing to me how many great choices there are in SLC and hunting them down one by one has been a great hobby of mine when in UT for business. That said, Tacos Lopez was off the chart if you are looking for epic Al Pastor. The tacos were stuffed with meat, you can watch them slice the pork right off the Trompo and based on the crowd that was there, I'm definitely a fast follower as it seems to be well attended, but the line moves fast and the service was great. I can hardly wait to go back but one quick word of warning for those like me on business, I thought it would be no problem to eat Al Pastor tacos with all the onions and hot sauce, etc. the night before my business meetings but when I woke up, I was horrified!! All I tasted was onions and I must have brushed my teeth and tongue 3x over and swallowed every breath mint with 10 miles before I felt even remotely safe meeting my customers. Eek - that was nightmare fuel!! Word of warning for the suit and tie crowd LOL!! Still, completely worth it for the phenomenal food! (if in Vegas and you want a similar experience, try Tacos El Guero (not Gordo)) read more

Husband liked both the tacos he got as well. We will definitely be back, but would love to see some more veggie options. read more

Best tacos in Utah HANDS DOWN. Literally no words, the horchata is delicious, they need a 100oz cup so I can get that horchata, I love the carne asada of course, the Al pastor is so favorable, 10/10. read more

The tripe tacos were flavored well and nice and crunchy. The tacos de Lengua were also good, but I was disappointed with the tacos de carne asada. They failed with the seasoning, they were very bland. I added salt and pepper and it helped. They were flavorless. I'll go back just to see if they were off today. Service was slow, my tacos were started to get prepped then the guy went to heat up 25 tortillas then went to prep the two carne asada tacos. Salsa bar is nice. Busy ambiance I arrived right before the big rush came in but got my food after the two tables that arrived after me. read more

Tacos are lights out. Best Al Pastor in the valley, including at the Mexican mall place.

The tacos were good. They really didn't stand out. The tortilla ised for the taco is awesome as they are homemade. I used to say that the tortilla made the taco but with having some really good taco places in my hometown now, I've become very critical. I would have liked more meat. I asked for tortilla chips and thought the cashier was going to die. The look on his face when he told me they don't have chips was priceless. I expected more from the reviews but found it to just be ok. read more

These tacos were $3.00 a piece...they were pretty good, but I'm not sure they're '$3 per taco'-good. The people working there are working really hard and I really appreciate the hustle. The inside isn't super clean, and it's slightly crowded for how many tables they try to fit in that dinning room area. It could be done more efficiently, but I appreciate the effort. I think I prefer Los Tapatios (nearby), but I might be back if they lower the prices. read more
