Let me start off by saying I was really excited to try the food here because of all the positive reviews, but boy was I misled. They brought out the "salsa" in a squeeze bottle (if you could even call it salsa, more like pizza sauce). The refried beans were unbelievably bland but still somehow managed to leave a chemical-like after taste in my mouth. I havent eaten a whole lot of really good authetic Mexican food, but I have eaten plenty of canned chili, and thats exactly what was in my taco instead of what I was told would be chorizo. The black olives on top of the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes were a bit of a surprise as well. There were black olives on my tostada too, which is a little weird. Its safe to say this place needs to hire some prep cooks because as of now all the prep cooking here is done by a cannery. I dont want this to reflect poorly on the employees we came in contact with, however, as they were very friendly and attentive. If you like the food here, great, to each their own, but dont come here expecting anything remotely close to authentic.

Service was good, employees were very friendly and nice. The food wasnt very good at all though. Everything tasted like it came straight out of a can. Salsa tasted like straight marinara sauce and was given to us in a squeeze bottle. Refried beans were the worst Ive ever had. The meat/beans in the taco and tostado was definitely canned chili. The taco shell was just like the boxed ones you buy at the store. Once again, Im positive everything came straight from a can. I dont feel like every single ingredient needs to be fresh every day, what Im saying is our meal was predominantly canned food.

Good food and pricing. Not too busy when I was there on a Sat. evening. Staff was prompt and courteous. Until I go try other mexican restaurants locally this will be my "go to place." Their margaritas were good and inexpensive compared to the big chain restaurants. There was a whole lot of choices to choose from the menu, I got a good portion size. One more positive to add, the salsa and chips were fresh, and they give you a bottle of salsa to refill the dipping bowl on your own, which is convenient.

Dont believe the hype. Its delicious if you enjoy flavorless food. Customer serves was nice up until I decided I didnt like the burrito that was brought out to me. He became extremely snappy and I was told I should never come back because Im wasting food. Smh basically the customer service was ride and the food is Bland save your money.

This place is terrible. The chips were stale, the salsa was more like jalapeños and ketchup - they use tortillas similar to the ones at Taco Bell. They served us our plates so incredibly hot that when I accidentally touched it I actually burned my finger. Hands down the worst Mexican food Ive ever had. Should have just gone to Betos.

Ok food, my whole plate was covered in red sauce and you couldnt discern what was what. It was a big plate of brown. Our waiter appeared to be on drugs by his odd behavior, sweating and random conversation as well as forgetting to put our ticket up for the kitchen. The chips and salsa are good though.

I love this place!! I always order the order of 3 smothered burritos. They are very popular in Salt Lake, lets give this restaurant some Ogden love, that way they succeed and stay in the Ogden area. :-) you can even go through the drive through and order to go.

Very friendly and great service! Ive tried this place twice and both times the food tasted like heated up TV dinners. Their tacos are not even decent corn tortillas fried. They literally use mission crunchy shells from wal mart. Save your $$ and go to del taco.

I gave this place a second chance same thing. Great staff! However 3 microwaves were the first thing i seen. My food was like a way over cooked tv dinner. The plate was hotter than my food. That sums it up

Fast and friendly service; ordered the chicken enchilada with rice and beans. It was better going down; took about 24 hours to clear it out.
