    Pescado Pescado, Taco Al Pastor Taco
    Brad H.

    Only certain tacos are valid for $1.49 Taco Tuesday. It was another good taco place, nothing bad, nothing spectacular. Good enough for $1.49 tacos. But I'm' from Tucson where the tacos and all Mexican food is great. We used to get any kind of taco for Taco Tuesday. And they were terrific tacos. With the exception of Tacos Lopez, all the tacos here are OK, not incredible. Worth checking out, though. 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!

    Beautiful, beautiful Pozole

    I haven't been to another Mexican place since I first ate here. Raised in Texas and having lived in Utah for 30+ years, I can confidently say this is the best taqueria in the entire state. Bar none. Everything on the menu is made from scratch daily -- this includes the desserts and horchata/jamaica drinks. The staff takes exceptional pride in the freshness as much as the plate presentation, something most places skip over in the name of speed. See my photos for some absolute art that you'll be served. The tacos are overfilled with juicy meat and boatloads of extras and they are accommodating for preferences, in my case mixing chorizo and al pastor meats. Taco today and Thursday has these winners at 99¢ each! Get here early and order a ton of 'em! Prices are very competitive for the large portion size and they offer a delightfully varied menu with nary a heat lamp or prepackaged meal in sight. Fresh only. I'll also raise in a big hand for the pozole soup that I had tonight, chock full of pork chunks and hominy. It comes with a condiment tray with six assorted additions to customize. Slightly spicy and blasting with flavor, it was worth every second of preparation. La Palapa is an independent and locally- and woman-owned business. If you want to see smiles, beautiful art, and an attractive and clean taqueria, get on over. They're waiting for you and are very patient if you're learning Spanish and willing to try it out with them.

    Great customer service, they greet you as soon as you come in, this is a local small businesses, a great business, and they achieve every step to make the customer feel welcomed. Food is amazing and tasty. This ladies know how to cook, we ordered Pastor Burrito that was delicious, my husband ordered 3 tacos, beef, pork and chicken, same well gone. Our drink was Cancun juice, it is fresh fruit, all natural. Our experience was 10 stars honestly, we are going to be back for sure, we learned that on weekends they will serve soups. Great food and amazing service, Jinia and the girls are very nice and they are happy to take care of you.

I was pleasantly surprised by the decor inside, they have spent a great deal for this location. I ordered chips and salsa to start. These were not complimentary but when they arrived the salsa was fresh and unique. I was glad I ordered them. My wife chose the carne asada burrito. She raved about the flavor and could only finish half. I ordered a unique taco which had an authentic name this gringo cannot remember but it was built on a house made corn tortilla about twenty inches long and ten inches wide. Steak, Mexican cream, tomatillo sauce, freshly shredded lettuce and cheese. I've never had anything like it but it is awesome. The service was quick and efficient. Very delightful people. The check had included a 15% Service Charge so I was glad to see the options on the screen to add a tip began at a level that matched up with the service charge at a reasonable level. I only had one complaint, The music was a little loud. The sound system is great and I loved the authentic music but the baseline was pumping loud enough to hurt my ears. I'd recommend adjusting the volume or the mix to make it a little more comfortable. Overall I loved this experience and will definitely want to come again. No pictures, sorry.

    Absolutely delicious!…read more I got a BOGO free burrito coupon from their FB feed, so why not? So glad I did! I had the spicy green chili burrito--delicious! Smothered inside and out with their very fine green chili. The tortillas seem homemade, it was fresh and good. My wife had the carne asada burrito. I got a bite of it and the beef is delicious! Such good flavors. I also had the pinto beans and rice, both are very good. The horchata, made with almond milk, was creamy and just the right amount of cinnamon and sweet. They serve flour and corn tortilla chips with three salsas. The chips were excellent. The flour chips are deep fried, really good. The red salsa was the hottest but not bad for heat. The green was good. Now the crema sauce was my favorite, it is really excellent. Nice restaurant, comfortable chairs, nice decor that goes along with their theme. Looks like a comfortable bar. Service was friendly and accommodating. I would like to eat here again and take advantage of the FB coupon for their tacos. Highly recommended! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good.

They've remodeled in the past three years and I really like what they've done! Beautiful decor and it's now a sit down restaurant, which I really like!! Menu is very similar, but expanded!

I went for the Chicken Mole taco with a side of black beans and rice! Absolutely delicious!! My husband got the Bean and Cheese taco and the Impossible meat taco with a side of tots! Service was great! I'm so glad we finally made it back! Really want to come more frequently!! Also heard they have good breakfast tacos in the morning! Will try those next!

As we just moved here, our home kitchen is 90% unpacked & I terrifiedly ventured out on Thanksgiving Day of all time to find breakfast. TF was open! What luck! The owner, Martin was very polite & accommodating with a couple of omissions. After ordering my take out, I ventured over to the salsa bar; I know it was a quiet day business wise, but it was immaculate!!! The cilantro, limes & salsas were all fresh which is a roll of the dice In taquerias. Maybe on busier days there might be a little salsa drop but am so impressed overall & it speaks volumes. My chiliquiles are delicious & a generous portion, definitely shareable &/or for finishing later. The tacos I ordered for my partner were not tiny street tacos but MUCH larger, the meats are fresh & beautifully seasoned. I am so thrilled to have found this Sugar House/Millcreek spot, will be going there regularly to try more. A nice bonus are the soyrizo options for vegans.

They gave me a bowl of shredded cabbage with chopped onions, cilantro, oregano, thick cut radishes and a spicy cup of salsa. South city tacos is located in The market On the corner of 3300 South 200 East. What I love about this market is you can buy almost anything you want there. They have a Panaderia, You can get yummy baked goods like a concha shell cookies, And packaged baked goods. I'm not sure if they have a bakery on-site or if they have them brought in.But these baked goods are fresh. There is a huge assortment of candies with tamarindo in it and spices that your kids would really like. You will love the flavors also. They sell snacks and they have a huge variety of fresh produce. They have a Carneseria; a meat market. Chicken, Beef, Pork, I am quite positive.They have seafood also. You can come in for candy or tacos.Or buy a piñata. You are walking out.They have above where you can buy.This meat that looks absolutely delicious. I was so full when I walked out from my Posele that I could not buy anymore.
