First of all, if you go here, you have to know that it's amazing. It could be a little bit of a wait just to get the food with the line but I advise everyone to take the suggestions of everyone working there on what to get. I mix all the sauces together to get the nachos. Even the new enchilada burritos are amazing, with the red sauce and of course, we didn't take photos because we ate it all before I did take a photos. We have been here multiple times and usually get it to go but I have seen people eating there and they are just enjoying their food. So the ambiance is just like a normal, fast food restaurant type, but the food is not fast food style. Please note the spice level is not ghost pepper spicy it is more flavorful with a kick. I would recommend trying the soup and adding everything to it as well as the green and red sauce, also adding the cilantro lime sauce because it's just delicious. In addition, even though the line can be long and other guests that visit the establishment. Will cut in front of you. The employees do their very best to accommodate anything that you need and are amazing and understanding. read more

I will use this place as a reference on how a restaurant should keep their place clean. In every quarter of this establishment, it was absolutely spotless and organized. No filth, no discarded napkins, no stains on the table, nothing on the floor, smelled good too. Very well managed. Also excellent food with great ingredients. Also nice staff. read more

See all

Excellent food with lots of choices Great service they really take care of your meal making it just exactly how you want it ! Clean environment The most friendly staff ever read more

Very easy parking and access to this location, placed an online order and it was ready super quickly. The burrito was decent sized, but nothing really special. Okay flavors overall. read more

Went in to get a burrito for my husband and a soup for me. They had only pork, no steak or chicken. They did not have any soup either. So my husband got dinner and I did not. We will not be going back to this location. Very disappointed. They did not apologize and did not offer a discount to my husband for this inconvenience. read more

We came to get burritos and a change-up from some of the regular places that we go. I tried the honey sweet pork burrito and it was excellent. Enchilada style is the only way to go. It's been a while since I've been here and it definitely has improved, where others in its class have not. We'll be back. read more

So hungry I didn't get a before picture. All of the ingredients were high quality, but the lettuce was still really cold and the cheese wasn't melted at all, which didn't make for a great mouth feel. I'll be skipping the lettuce and cheese. read more

Cafeteria style with limited options. Food was ok, filled my empty stomach, staff was friendly. I'll find other options for lunch.

By far my favorite fast food restaurant. Large portion sizes and very reasonably priced. My whole family loves them. I can eat here every day! read more

I frequent this location. Fine during the day, but at night the last two times I've gone the rice and beans are undercooked. I also tell them twice every time to only put a small amount of meat. Which they forget to do. I never have a problem with consistency at the other locations. Come on guys. read more

They have really improved recently. My son LOVES Barbacoa so we end up here A LOT. This location is much better than the Draper one that closed. Good portions, friendly service, tasty food, easy location. Drive-through is a nice option as well. read more

Pretty disappointing. I love barbacoa! I get food from barbacoa often. This one though, it seems like the flavor is off. Too much cilantro in it with whole leaves in the rice. I got the sweet pulled pork and it half of it was fat. I normally go to a different location in West Jordan. It's a bit further away, but I'm beginning to think it's worth the extra drive. read more

Barbacoa Mexican Grill - This is fat, not delicious meat. That's an awful lot of fat considering they only give you one small scoop of meat. - Mexican Near Me - South Jordan, Utah

I would rather be going to chipotle or cafe Rio than Barbacoa. The quality of food at Barbacoa is about the same as chipotle. When arriving at Barbacoa, I got a bowl with no beans and was charged extra for having enchilada sauce on the bowl. The total price of the bowl was $12 for this price at chipotle I get double the amount that I got at Barbacoa. As you can see in my photo me amount of food you get for the price is very minimal. Service was good and the restaurant was clean, but if you want a bang for your buck and want to be full with many more portions go to chipotle or cafe Rio. read more

The only reason I come here is when I have a coupon for a buy one get one free/half off, because why not. It's good for my mom and I to go on lunch break for somewhere different. Every time I come here it's never busy, which is good for us but kind of suspicious. I usually get the nachos every time, and they're good. Are they the best nachos I've ever had? No, but I'm usually full after so it does the job. read more

Barbacoa Mexican Grill - Shredded beef nachos with queso on the side. - Mexican Near Me - South Jordan, Utah

Never disappointed. Fresh, high quality food and very friendly staff. Always clean and in a great location.

I was hesitant to give this place another shot, since me first experience wasn't the best (food poisoning). This place is great! I had the steak burrito salad with all the fixings. I was surprised it was $11, that seems a bit expensive. Maybe the guacamole was like $2 for the two scoops. Not sure. But the place was quick, clean, the food was fresh and the service was great. I'd say if you combined Cafe Rio with Chipotle, you'd get Barbacoa. It's not quite authentic Mexican food, but it's sure delicious. I think might start eating here more often. read more

I don't like most mexican restaurants, however I like that I can choose what's on my taco. There are plenty of fresh mex restaurants where you select your fare however for me, Barbacoa has the perfect blend of flavors and the icing on the burrito is fresh limes. Staff is always friendly, facility is clean. Favorite chain for fresh mex hands down. read more

I have ordered from here countless times. Their food is always great. It is the most consistent delivery service I have ever had! Thank you West Jordan Barbacoa staff! read more

This is like Chipotle but not as good. Pro's: - Fast decent food Con's: - Poor and misleading customer service (see tips section below) Tips: - Do not add Queso's to your burrito when they ask. * It costs an extra ~$1 which they don't tell you when they ask. * You might as well add avocado which is healthier and more cost-effective. - Do not get a tortilla with your burrito BOWL when they ask. * It costs an extra ~$1 which they don't tell you when they ask. * I thought it was free when I was getting a burrito bowl because hey, I'm getting a burrito in a bowl but still want my tortilla on the side. So it should be free right? WRONG. read more

Pretty good place for a quick bite to eat if you like Mexican, but not the very best place you can go. I'd honestly choose cafe rio or chipotle over this any day but it decent tasting and is easy to order on uber eats read more

Barbacoa Mexican Grill - a skillet of food - Mexican Near Me - South Jordan, Utah

Just sat in the drive through at 11:30 for over 5 min no body ever said a word.... I left and won't risk it again my lunch is too short already. Pretty sad read more

I work across the street, so we end up eating here fairly often. They are a fairly new place, however the customer service never seems to improve. It's always an awkward experience in line as they serve your food, as well as with the check out. They seem to not have a good system in place, and half the time there is some error in the receipt. As for the food, it's prety medicore, particularly their vegetarian options. Instead of meat, they offer cold vegetables as a substitute, which are never chopped enough. The people I'm eating with usually get the meat options, with some pretty gnarly results. The portions are also off as well. You usually get about three tablespoons of the good stuff, and a cup or two of rice. To be brutally honest, each time we eat there, my office-mates and I swear it's the last time. Until they get it together, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Why I Went I go to Barbacoa frequently only because it's walking distance from school. What I Like about Barbacoa vs. Chipotle Whole wheat Tortilla Option: Not offered at chipotle and I always order it. Burrito Mixed Option: After your order is made the burrito engineer neatly mixes the ingredients together so the flavors and textures get a chance to homogenize. This makes each bite better and more evenly distributed. I think you could get this at Chipotle on request but this is standard operating procedure at Barbacoa. Wrapped Taco option: Honestly I have now started ordering this more than the burrito. This is like the old school Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch on crack. For an extra 99 cents per taco they melt cheese on soft taco shells and wrap them around crunchy taco shells. The texture contrast and flavor is indescribable you have to try this next time you go it is DEFINITELY worth the extra 99 cents. More Meat Options: Chipotle only has chicken steak carnitas barbacoa a new sofrito option. Barbacoa has two types of pork (Barbacoa Pork/Sweet Pork(Myfavorite)) Two Types of Chicken (Shredded Mango Chicken/Grilled Chicken) Barbacoa beef and steak. Better Portions: Chipotle is usually pretty stingy especially with meat but Barbacoa usually gives you more meat and just more generous with portions overall. I'm always full when I leave. What Chipotle does better than Barbacoa Better flavor overall Fajita Vegetables: Not offered at Barbacoa and my favorite part of Chipotle Rice: Chipotle offers brown rice and even the normal rice is hella better at chipotle than at barbacoa Better salsas: Although Barbacoa has queso I still prefer the hot salsa and tomatillo salsa at chipotle. The hot salsa at Barbacoa has too strong of a vinegar flavor and overpowers the other toppings. The corn salsa is also much better at chipotle. Things I dislike about both places GET MORE COMFORTABLE SEATS! Cut to the Chase 4 Stars Although I still I prefer Chipotle flavor wise I still think Barbacoa deserves props for their innovation. read more

This place is bad, just really, really bad. I've always wondered why there is never very many diners there, and I think I know why. It's just bad. If the food is bad, people just aren't going to dine there, it's just that simple. Not really in the mood for any thing else, I decided to give it it's due, and quite frankly I wished I hadn't. It's twenty bucks I wish I could get back and spend elsewhere. read more

Yummy food and sweet pork is really good. Giant burritos for a good price. Really clean facility and a nice staff. Great if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

Barbacoa Mexican Grill - a salad and a drink - Mexican Near Me - South Jordan, Utah

This location is across the street from my work so I go once in a while and haven't had trouble until today. The girl was difficult to understand. I ordered the "burrito salad" with no guacamole and ended up with "burrito soup" with guacamole. And no chicken!!!!!:( I won't be going back. So sad read more

The original big burritos company in Northern Utah! Fantastic burritos and burrito bowls. If you're not hungry bring a friend and share because a burrito here weighs about 3 pounds. Love the grilled chicken. read more

It's Barbacoa. Have a bunch of pre-cooked food under a heat lamp and thrown into a tortilla then wrapped in foil. But you know what, it's not bad. It gets the job done. When you hold one of these things in your hand and think that in a little bit that entire bullet of food will be in your stomach it makes me question my manhood. read more

As a longtime Chipotle fan, I'm happy with my first time Barbacoa experience but not overly impressed. $12.58 for a salad & beverage. Good flavor, customizable options, and got me full. Can't say I'll ever choose this over its competitor but because they're next to our new office building, I'm satisfied enough to come back out of convenience. read more

Very good food but $8.28 for a steak burrito! Come on guys your pricing yourselves out of the market. With a drink and tax it came to $11.08! I know of good sit down restaurants for that price with a tip. read more

Said I wanted to "try" the beef, but instead she loaded my bowl with beef. Asked if I wanted guacamole and some more salsa on my bowl and in turn charged me for every single item without telling me it was an extra charge. The beef was OK at best. Won't come back. Not friendly. Poor communication. read more

Got a free entree card from someone who works there while cutting their hair. You guys wouldn't even expect it with some bs excuse. No wonder the only person inside sitting was another employee. Cafe rio & costa vida keeping my business. read more

I think two stars is generous. My wife liked her food OK. This place is just not good. My food was dry and obviously old, but more importantly, so spicy that it was basically inedible. I love spicy food, but this was just a wall of fire. Not only that, but with the restaurant totally empty, two employees parked themselves six feet from where we were sitting and chatted loudly the whole time we were there. The experience was just unreal. Bizarre. But now we know! read more

I don't know how this place exists with so many better options available. We went on a Friday evening at 7 and the store was empty except two employees. That should have been the warning to stop me, but I love Mexican food and wanted to try this place out. My ten year old summed it up best when he said they spent more time making the menu look good than actually working on flavor. Never again. read more

For the most part the food was not bag. The meat and rice were both tasty. However, the guacamole was the worst I've ever tasted! I have never had guacamole that tasted sour before, it was awful. Either they used avacados that had gone bad, or they just left the guacamole out until it went bad. I might haven given 4 stars of it wasn't for the awful guacamole stopping me from eating any of the food it touched. Another problem I had was the place looked very trashy inside. I don't like eating at places that don't look well maintained. read more

I reviewed the Barbacoa up in Bountiful, gave it five stars. Came here the other day, and realized how great this place is all over. I had no idea they had 10 locations. Love the food. Tried the soup today, blew my mind. I always get the spicy pork burrito in Bountiful, but I might have to switch it up more often. read more

It seems like all the Barbacoa locations I eat at are getting worse and worse. A couple weeks ago I picked up dinner for the family. My wife and I both commented that our burritos were not good. The food seemed old, the lettuce was extremely bitter, and the taste was off. We went back the next week thinking it was just a fluke. This time the rice was either undercooked or overcooked. It was crunchy and gross. They get 1 extra star because this location gives a free quesadilla with each burrito for the kids. Thankfully cheese and a tortilla are easy to get right. read more

I used to love this place. It was a staple during my pregnancy. However, it has gone downhill. I went today for lunch and was horrified to find a cockroach running around under my table (after finishing my food. Yuck). I peeked at the kitchen floor on my way out and thought I saw a dead one on the ground near the drive through window. Makes me sick. Anyway, the customer service is also sorely lacking. Their credit card machine stopped functioning and they told me I could wait for 10 minutes to reboot or pay cash. I only had $6 but they said they wouldn't take that although if I'd paid nothing they would have had to throw it out anyway. I waited the ten minutes and the machine still wouldn't work- they swipe my card at least ten times. I hope I don't have multiple charges on my card. I've reported to the health department and will not be returning. Explains why I am always the only customer there when I have gone in the past. They don't know how to run a successful business. read more
