Tacos Lopez West Valley

Tacos Lopez is one of best Mexican spots in Utah. Tijuana style tacos are the go to here, make sure you get the Al pastor 8.5/10. Asada is nothing special I’d say it is just okay maybe a 5.5/10. Chorizo is a bit overcooked but good flavor, I’d say 6/10. I did get the Al Pastor fries this last time and they were good but lacked enough meat. They only put a scoop on top which makes presentation look good but once you get through the top layer it is all fries leftover. Given the fries are $15 I’d hope they loaded it with more meat and cheese. Overall would stick with the Al pastor tacos as my go to here. I’d recommend trying this spot.

As someone who grew up in Mexico, I approach tacos in the United States with cautious optimism and a well-calibrated palate. Too often, “authentic” is a generous label. Here, it feels earned. The al pastor is the standout: deeply marinated, beautifully seasoned, and balanced in that unmistakable way that evokes a proper taquería back home. There’s a savory depth with just enough brightness to keep each bite compelling. Paired with an agua de horchata that resists the all-too-common sugar overload, the experience feels thoughtfully executed. Yes, it’s sweet—as it should be—but mercifully not cloying. The cinnamon and rice notes come through cleanly, refreshing rather than overwhelming. We also sampled the asada fries—a nod to borderland indulgence rather than Mexican tradition. They were

Some of the best tacos in the area! Love the fresh tortillas and the pastor meat. I haven’t been inside so I can’t say how the atmosphere is but the drive thru was great!

The food is good and I liked the overall flavor. The place is usually very busy, which says a lot about how popular it is, but that can also affect the attention to detail. During my visit, I asked for tacos with no salsa and no veggies because they were for my kids, but they came loaded with both. I wish they would pay more attention to special requests, especially when it’s for children. Hopefully, they improve that part, because the place has a lot of potential.

So good! Would recommend anything with Al pastor meat. The muleta has so much cheese!
