The good: the service. Kind people, very helpful. The average: food was decent. The hot honey on the hot honey chicken taco was not hot. The bang bang shrimp was good flavor but the shrimp was very overcooked. Tots also had good flavor but the steak was tough. The bad: the bathroom was dirty. I'm hoping it was just an off day or some patron was inconsiderate and not the usual for the establishment. read more

3.5 stars. I visited The Smoked Taco during my trip to southern Utah. I was in the mood for Mexican food and wanted something with local flair that I couldn't find at home. I ordered three tacos with a side of chips and queso--definitely too much food. The chips and queso were just okay. The queso was forgettable and not very hot. I did not expect the tacos to be as big as they were. I ordered two of the coconut shrimp tacos (a seasonal offering) and one buffalo chicken taco, aka The Bird. The coconut shrimp tacos were very good. The Bird was just okay as well. It was not very hot either. Though I enjoyed the majority of my tacos, everything felt very thrown together. Considering the restaurant had a total of two patrons including myself, I would have expected the food to be made a little more carefully. read more

We were just driving through St George and this looked interesting. We had no idea we found the holy Grail of crazy fusion tacos! We tried a bunch of different things and they were all super interesting. Be warned, it's heavy on flavor and uniqueness but probably pretty high in calories and fat. With that warning it's still totally worth it! read more

We attempted to come here during our annual cross-country trip on Saturday, 7/4/26, as this is one of our favorite restaurants in the country. They were closed on a Saturday (?!?!!). We came back on Sunday, 7/12/26, and this was our first stop for the week to have a great meal. MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT. We ordered the Gringo taco, Smoking Pastor taco, Mack Daddy taco, Smoked Elote, Chips and Salsa, and a fountain drink. We were told that they were OUT OF CORN. A taco place had no corn. This affected all of our menu choices. We never wanted to order chips and salsa, as we can order those anywhere. We came here specificslly for the Elote - which is 1 of their staples. They recommended the elote with tater tots in place of the corn. It tasted weird and did not taste anything like the usual elote with the corn. The fountain drinks did not have carbonation. The Sprite was totally flat. The Minute Maid lemonade had no lemon and tasted like water. The tacos were fine, but anything without corn tasted off. Staff was notified about the fountain drinks. They admitted they had no lemonade. They claimed the sprite had just been replaced. That's not possible; it was still flat after several attempts. Tater tots as a replacement for corn just makes no sense at all. Compared with our visits over previous years, this was a huge disappointment and raises serious concerns about the company between product availability and a lack of desire for staff and management to do anything. It should be noted that we did communicate all of these things to the staff, and they did not offer anything to us for the substandard situation. read more

I'll start off by saying that the tacos have a nice aesthetic to them. However, the flavor and quality missed the mark. We tried the Bang Bang, the Gringo, the Surf and Turf and a Taco meal. The Surf and Turf - it looked nice, but the tri tip was cold and flavorless. The Bang Bang - again, it looked nice, but the flavors just weren't there. The guac and the pico carried the taco. Shrimp need more flavor. The Gringo - the best of what we tried, but the brisket burnt ends weren't really burnt ends. They had a nice smoked flavor but could have used a touch more salt and pepper and overall better bark. The Taco meal - quite honestly, look at it. You be the judge. Additionally, walking in to an empty restaurant and not being greeted for the first 5 minutes is pretty unacceptable to me. Thankfully, we had Abuela's Sweetheat Chili Crunch to add some flavor to the tacos. @Friday_night_bites_209 read more

We really wanted to love this place given the reviews, but unfortunately, our visit was a disappointment. To start, our tacos were cold when they were served, and the tortillas were chewy and difficult to eat. We also ordered the churro fries, which unfortunately suffered from the same issue--they were chewy and several pieces were completely unchewable. It's a bummer because we had high hopes based on the other reviews, but between the food temperature and the tough textures, we won't be returning. read more

The tacos are tasty if small. Employees polite. I've been there twice and both times the place was dirty. Plenty of employees and only 2 customers yet every table was dirty. As were the counters and floors. Gave it two tries but sadly I won't go back. I want to support local biz but can't stomach a dirty restaurant. read more

Very yummy but PLEASE remove the tree that is blocking the view of oncoming traffic to exit. It is very unsafe for your customers.

Love the concept! I'm always down for a good fusion, and I could eat tacos 24/7. I also really appreciate that they use gluten-free tortillas. But unfortunately, that's where the love fest ends. We came in starving after a long, amazing day at Zion and were so excited to try this place. We ordered nearly everything: the Banh Fire, the Memphis, the Fleeing Californian, the Hot Chick, and the Bang Bang. Sadly, every single taco came out cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. The Memphis was the standout flavor-wise, followed by the Fleeing Californian. But the overwhelming amount of pico on every taco kind of masked the individual flavors, and did I mention they were cold? Even the Hot Chick, which is fried chicken, was cold, and cold fried chicken - just no. We also tried the chips and guac and the elote. My boyfriend liked the elote the most out of everything, and I thought the chips were the best part of the whole meal...which kind of says it all. The bathrooms were a mess. The unisex bathroom had a toilet seat that wouldn't go down without a full-body push. Honestly, this could have been a 3-star spot if the food was at least served hot. Very disappointing overall. read more

Food was great. Came in around 3pm only one other couple was here and one person in front of us that ordered to go. There were only two employees. Food took about 10 minutes to come out. Ordered 3 tacos and a side. Food was heart. Service was quick. Dinning lobby and tables were clean. However their bathrooms were lacking. Missing paper towels and toilet was gross. Bathrooms need more attention. Everything else was great. read more

Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 First off, the food. Do yourself a favor, don't order anything with the pork, flavorless and dry, even with the toppings on, just awful. However, the shrimp, brisket and tri-tip tacos (all separate items, not one taco with all those meats) made up for the inedible pork tacos. These tacos, were HUGE, so be mindful of that when ordering. Inside, the concept/decor was nice, however, the overflowing trash cans/trash on the floors/dirty bathrooms/sticky tables didn't leave the best impression. Overall, we won't be back, wish the place lived up to the other reviews left, maybe it was an off day for them. read more

Such a fun new spot in St George! Coming from Vegas it's always fun to find new local spots to support. We ordered; The Gringo 5/5 the crispy onions + sweet pickled jalapeños were so yummy! The Fleeing CA was our second favorite and soo good. The roasted corn and guac Adding this to our "must visit" when we come back! The Mac Daddy sauce was fantastic but we'd probably pass on our next visit and try something new. Bonus they are open on Sunday which for us is helpful as we often travel thru St George on a Sunday and appreciate finding good, fresh food. read more

Amazing tacos and friendly service- will definitely be stopping anytime I am traveling through

We love the Smoked Taco! Our favorite is the Fleeing Californian!! lol! Because we DID flee California!!

I don't know if it was just the certain tacos we ordered, but the food was not good. I had so many carrots and a ton of blue cheese. One of the tacos was dripping of liquid and was filling up the plate. This was not a place we enjoyed unfortunately. There was also a sauerkraut-like ingredient I'm not sure what that was. read more

We're from texas where Tex mex and bbq are truly what we crave when we're here in Saint George. I was skeptical that it would be any good but I was pleasantly surprised. We did the sampler so we could give everything a chance. Five tacos of our choice, guacamole, queso and churro fries. Way too much food for the two of us so we took home leftovers. We will be back!! read more

Very sweet flavored food here. Pricey also for a "taco". This is meat wrapped in a tortilla but not what you think if you want a Mexican/Latin flavor. $5-$6 for 1 taco which isn't really enough to fill you read more

Doesn't seem to be enough help got our order wrong but could potentially be great. Need more help and consider the order accuracy.

04/01/26 second time here. Not a fan. They are trying to put a new wave spin on the traditional taco. In my humble opinion they don't have it. They put different sauces, like pickled jalapeño , on the taco. Different but not good. I would not recommend. read more

Ya...... No! Flavorless meat. If you like tacos drenched in sweet sauce then this is your place. EVERYTHING is sweet here. No flavor like everything needs salt in it. read more

3 reasons there's guys get an EASY 5 stars. 1. Tacos are great. Generous with the meat. Nothing cheap about these guys. No measuring like the competitors. 2. Most the tacos are UNDER $5. Most are 4.50. So a meal with 2 tacos and a drink is totally reasonable unlike Sanchos Tacos. 3. The tip jar is on the counter. Old school. Like it should be. No pressure to tip (I always tip). I can't stand this new tip demand. It's gross. Tip fatigue is real. HUGE fan of Smokes Taco and I go here EVERY time I'm in the area and I always will read more

The Smoked Taco - Service bar - Tacos Near Me - St. George, Utah

The worst "tacos" ever! Yuck!That pretty much sums up the taste. Sweet (why?)and flavorless. It looks like a taco and the presentation was like a taco. However, the sweet sauces and flavorless contents were absolutely disgusting. LOTS of flavorless fried onion, yuck! And the sweet jalapeño, yuck! And whatever was on the gringo brisket meat, double yuck! Sweet sweet sweet!! Nothing about these tacos tastes like a taco. We ordered 4 ate 1 and tossed the rest. Not edible. Not sure why there was so much sweet on everything and NO seasonings or flavor whatsoever. Total disappointment and there was nothing "smoked" about it. We left, never to return. *Get some professional help to get the entire sauce menu revamped. read more

Tacos like you've never had em. Best of the best. Don't go here if you expecting plain tacos. Will be back on each visit thru St. George.

Definitely not classic or authentic tacos. Service was friendly and the food came out quick. Unique flavors that made the tacos work. Beware those with a dairy allergy as it didn't state it anywhere but they use cheese to hold the tortillas together. read more

We arrived on a Thursday and the kitchen was short staffed. Preston did a fantastic job of letting people know that it might take a moment and it was absolutely worth the wait. This place is better and has bigger portions than Pica Rica, which used to be in the same spot. Incredible tacos and I left super full after 2. We will be back again. read more
