first, the staff was amazing. funny, quick and nice. the chips and salsa was tasty, as was what we ordered: the biggest burrito you've ever seen. and it delivered on that. it is the biggest burrito i have ever seen. it was equally as delicious as it was large. the atmosphere is quaint and fun. 10/10 will visit again.

Yum! We were in the area and decided to stop for lunch, we're sure glad we did. It's a good sign what your meal will be like when you can't stop eating the chips and salsa. We would come back for that alone. I had the special, Cochinita. The pork is slow cooked in a lime sauce served with habanero pickled red onion, rice and beans. It comes with tortillas for a build - your - own experience. The pork is melt in your mouth tender in a tasty sauce. The service was fast, friendly, and helpful. We will make a point of coming back.

As a California ex-pat and former resident of Texas, I'm almost always disappointed in Mexican food in Utah... not anymore! Dinner was amazing. My fish tacos were the best I've had in years. The barria tacos were divine! I will be returning.

An incredibly reliable dining experience - It's always top-notch for me and I'm a regular here. The actual reason I'm reviewing here now is because of something else that happened: recently, my friend had lost his wallet in the parking lot. The staff here helped make sure it got back to him. We're grateful for the people that work here in so many ways! A very good eatery serviced by very good people. Must recommend.

Salsa was awesome, homemade chips were really good and homemade taco shells were just okay. Chili Verde was incredibly tasty as were the rice and beans. I didn’t love the enchilada, but that’s not usually something I order. I will definitely eat here again as the service was great and the food was really good overall.

We celebrated my wife's birthday here on St. Patrick's Day. The owner just bought this restaurant a couple of months ago and has completely turned it around for the better! The servers do a great job, and the food tastes great! Their Chile Verde, and their pozole are very good!

I've been meaning to try this place out for a long time. I finally went in today for some lunch. I was created by a very friendly guy who was more than happy to offer some great suggestions. I ordered the #4 Merida burrito with carnitas and smothered in chile verde sauce. I will definitely be back!

Such a great little place! Super fun, friendly staff. Feels like a family run type place. The food is amazing! Very flavorful. The rice and beans are not just straight from a can. There’s some love to it. It was all cooked so well! Service was always prompt and kind. Fresh grated cheese was used too! Awesome little perk. Chips and salsa to start. Love the thicker yet easy crunch chips they use. Salsa was not too spicy but a good flavor.
