I dont know why anyone is rating this place as anything better than 2 stars. First the positive aspects: Feels authentic, was generally clean and my server was very nice and friendly...if stretched a little thin by a group of 12 who must have arrived just before I did. I liked the table beans that they serve with the salsa and chips. A nice touch. Nothing to get super excited about, but good. The salsa with the chips is fine, again not noteworthy in the least. I decided to try a combo platter so that I could get a feel for a couple of menu items. I ordered the smothered burrito and a beef taco. After waiting for about 15 minutes (which I am chalking up to the large group) my server told me they were out of beef and asked if they could replace it with chicken. Which I said was fine. The bad: The taco shell seemed like one youd get our of a package of Ortega store bought shell. I dont like that when I come to this type of place. The chicken filling was fine, if a little bland. I did like that they use thigh meat, so at least it wasnt dry. Shredded lettuce tomato and crappy bagged processed cheddar cheese. (That was one of my biggest problems with this place..very cheap processed cheddar shreds.) The chili verde sauce struck me as something Id get out of a can. It really didnt feel authenic in the least. The pork was okay, but a little tough. The tortilla felt/tasted like a cheap store bought tortilla. Rice and beans were pretty standard, a little more bland than most Ive tried. So...overall...Id never go back. There are way to many better options in Salt Lake City...and Im sure there are better options in Midvale. Service was great, and I liked the decor. But with so many better options I dont know why Id settle for this place again.

Definitely a no-frills, hole in the wall neighborhood restaurant. Do not expect that the owners are restaurateurs and have a trained staff. Nobody is going to check on you or ask you if you need anything, or another drink or another beer. With that being said, it was a cozy pretty darn authentic Mexican restaurant. The food was tasty and I heard the shrimp fajitas are awesome. I had chicken enchiladas and they were good. It appears that they have Mexican karaoke there for some odd reason. But the music they were playing in the background made you feel like you were on vacation somewhere. So, grab a bucket of beers (because nobody is going to offer you another one), wait for your food (because the cook is also the order taker), and check it out.

One of the most satisfying things is to find a restaurant, not well known, and to find out it is delicious. Its like finding a little oasis in the middle of a desert. Whats great about the food is that its fresh. One of my favorite staple foods are the corn tortillas. They are authentic and a perfect compliment to any dish served. My first dish was the milanesa, which I highly recommend. I hope this restaurant continues to be successful and take great care in what they do.

Only had one guy working when I went in. Unsanitary environment. What appeared to be his kids or family members kids came in after me, and suddenly he was rushing me to order. He threw it together in record time, which seemed odd. The food was sloppy, and extremely disappointing. I guess he just wanted me out of there so he could hang out with his family. Ill never go back, in fact, Id like my generous tip back as well. Would not recommend.

Just had the shredded chicken burrito for lunch, and absolutely loved it. Fresh and flavorful, and just enough heat to let you know. My friend had a combination, and for the first time in our extensive Mexican food lunch history, you could identify three items on the plate, and they were not drowning in goo and cheese. Ill be back for sure.

Scariest place that Ive been to in a long time. We arrived and the place is dirty. Smells like fart and sweat. The athmoshoere had a criminal element to it and freaked us out. We left within minutes after arriving. Ive been to Juarez many times and this place is worse. Dont go here. Run.

Wonderful food in a warm, homey atmosphere. This was my first visit, ate the Camarones Diabla (?) and loved it. Looking forward to exploring the amazing menu on future visits. Ate an early lunch and had the place mostly to ourselves.
