    I came here one night for dinner with my dad. The food was absolutely delicious!! Very tasty and filling. The chips were really yummy too. The salsa was good but very watery. The service could have been a bit better as well. Other than that, my dad and I enjoyed our food a lot. Also, this place is cash only so be sure to have cash on you when you go!

    Decent Meal here. This is in a strip mall. At an event where we needed a private room which are few and far between it seems. Servers were very kind and attentive. Carnitas were good! The usual bland-ish Mexican food that you get around here. . Cholula definitely helped.

    This is a cheese enchilada and beef taco with rice and beens. There is no enchilada sause on it the beans are from a can and the taco awful

    Just order from this place through DD oh my god never tried anythig so bad before nothing was homemade. Really wish i would have just warmed up a tortilla with cheese on it in the microwave it would have been much better and more homemade than this place

    The spread ready to go!

    El Farol did an awesome job putting together a catered menu for my sister's 50th birthday party. Lolita, the owner there was so easy to work with and the meal was very fair priced! She also checked with me to make sure there wasn't any last-minute changes. Everything was ready on time and I just feel they did an awesome job for me and my family! The food was excellent and I highly recommend El Farol! The quality was excellent, and so much of it. I would highly recommend them

    I saw the Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins that featured this restaurant a few years ago and have…read morewanted to try it ever since. I finally made it there yesterday! Unfortunately I kind of wish I didn't. We tried the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, Carne Adovada Burrito, nachos with shredded beef, and horchata. The dish with the most flavor was the nachos. I'd give that dish a 4. The horchata was pretty good too. Definitely above average horchata. But the rest of the dishes didn't have enough flavor, even after adding salsa from their salsa bar. This was pretty disappointing and we wished we had picked a different restaurant for lunch.

    Stopped here as we were driving through town as we heard this is the best casual Mexican food…read morearound. We heard right as this place was amazing. We arrived a little ahead of a huge storm coming in as we drove through it about an hour before. Fun little space that has a drive thru window as well. The cashier was friendly as gave us a few recommendations. They go have a daily fresh fish but I didn't recognize the fish so I ordered a shrimp taco and adovada taco. My son got a shrimp burrito and then we split a chips and guacamole. The chips and guacamole were incredible. The chips were a tad thicker but great crunch and could hold up the large thick scoops of fresh guacamole. The shrimp burrito was enormous as it had marinated shrimp, beans, rice, cabbage, jalapeños and more. Every item was fresh and flavorful. The tacos were both very tasty as well. The tacos and burrito came with a jalapeño crema that was also yummy. They have a little salsa bar with a tomatillo green, jalapeño medium, a hot and pico de gallo. The salsas were all good. We sat on the fun but small patio and then rolled out just before the huge storm hit. We took the rest of the chips and guacamole to go in the car as we were driving north to our next stop. Definitely a place to come back to in the future if we are in SLC again.

    This is an odd service but it's acceptable especially since their foods are impeccably delicious!…read more You order and pay inside, then take your bill outside around the corner to the food cart. The cook makes the food, hands you the food, you add all the toppings you wish (without judgment), and can go back inside the restaurant (unless you grab the wrong door and end up at the barber) to sit at a table or wherever you wish to eat. I got to select however many meats with no toppings and was pain free for the rest of the day (conclusion for me: no additives triggered a wobbly digestion in response). Everything looked and smelled fresh. Ambiance: bit bare inside, definitely not cozy. But if you are there to get food and eat it, it should be good enough.

    I don't know how long this taco stand has been here, but I think it's been forever. Ha ha. I've…read moreheard from other people that have visited it over the years, and it seems to be a staple on the popular Midvale street. It's a cash-only establishment, and the prices are so low that you'll easily be able to have a nice meal for whatever you've got in your wallet. I enjoyed two tacos-a beef and a chicken, both absolutely amazing. The flavor is great, the tortillas are warm and fresh-everything about it is great. If you're looking for authentic street tacos and don't mind eating in your car or in the parking lot, this is a fantastic option. I may find myself driving over and setting up a taco picnic in the back of my truck this summer. Grab a plate and come join me.
