★★★★★ 5.0 Nick Bierman · Jan 2026

Experience could not have been any better! I was so impressed with their hot chips and salsa. The best salsa I have ever had by a margin . Red and green sauce enchiladas were delicious and the Carnitas chimichanga was very good as well. We ordered à la carte enchiladas, which is a great way to go.

★★★★★ 5.0 John DeKlerk · Feb 2026

We had a great time eating here. The restaurant was clean and felt authentic. The salsa and chips were really good. We ordered the cheese enchiladas, quesadillas, and chili verde burrito. The restaurant isn’t very big, so maybe plan ahead and make a reservation. Especially on a weekend.

Great food! We are not from here and are used to really good Mexican food. We have searched high and low here in Utah unsuccessfully and finally found this place - it is worth the drive for us, great fajitas, enchilada suizas, nice wait staff and decent prices. We will return again and again

First time trying here and they were actually good. Walking in was amazing because the just have a great atmosphere and service is amazing. Their decorations are cool and tables and chairs seems like you're in an actual Mexican restaurant. They reminded me a lot when I lived in Tijuana. The food was good and brought out hot. But the enchiladas suiza could have been prepared better. The drinks were good besides the Jamaica could have been prepared better. Overall great experience and would love to come back to try more of their dishes. Highly recommend coming here.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Douglas Butler · May 2025

I love the atmosphere. The tables are all painted with cute scenes. The decorations are fun. It just has a great vibe. The service has been good every time we have eaten in the restaurant. I always struggle with commenting on food because tastes can be so different. This is my wife’s absolute favorite Mexican restaurant. The other couple we went with this night both really enjoyed it. It has never been my favorite but it is good just not my fav.
