    ROCTACO is cool. It's hip, grungy, and they make creatively delicious tacos…read more The ordering process starts at the counter, where they will then call you back up when your food is ready. You can order an individual taco here or get their protein options in a bowl or burrito. My wife and I ordered a mess of tacos to share. My favorites included some of the more unique ones, like the KC pig filled with pulled pork and BBQ sauce and the beef bulgogi. The vibes are really interesting here. If you have ever been to a MOD pizza with the stickers on the walls, it's kind of like that, but more graffiti-like. The seating is fun and quirky. The actual restaurant is hidden away in an alley, which is a bit sketchy compared to the rest of downtown SLC, so just be cautious. ROCTACO certainly isn't a traditional taco spot, but they are doing some cool stuff, and they are worth trying. Check them out!

    Absolutely Amazon. 10/10…read more I had just landed in town and someone from the hotel told me to go here and I am glad I did. I got the K.C. Hog Burrito. The flavors are amazing. Not picture was the Jimmy Churri taco that I had. Ryan (the owner) and his brother have something amazing here. He's from Kansas City and does the BBQ very well in the burrito. The location is off the Main Street but worth it. Interior is a little small but the vibe is awesome. Like your best friend just opened a restaurant and wants everyone to come hangout.

    Like always, Yelp helped me find another great spot! We were traveling through Utah and this was…read moreour first food stop of the trip. It definitely did NOT disappoint! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean. First of all, Muertos Cantina is a total vibe! The inside is so cool with fluorescent lighting, colorful decor and bottles displayed beautifully behind the bar. Even the bathrooms are worth mentioning! Each one is decorated differently with tons of bright colors. Seriously, each bathroom is like its own little fiesta sanctuary. Now for the FOOD! They start you off with fresh tortilla chips and a trio of salsas, and the chips were AMAZING (especially the flour chips). Each salsa had its own completely different flavor. The Red Chile Arbol had some heat, the Chipitle Lime Crema was smooth & creamu, and then there was the milder Tomatillo Verde, which was my favorite. Soooo good! We also tried the Agua Frescas. They were refreshing, flavorful and really pretty to look at. The watermelon was probably our least favorite, but to me anything watermelon flavored can sometimes taste a little watered down. The pineapple was definitely the winner because it was way more flavorful and satisfying. Then came the Elote Corn Dip. YUMMY! It had fire roasted corn, cheese, spices, crema, pico de gallo, cilantro and Tajín. It had so much flavor and texture. Definitely one I would order again. My daughter chose the Birria Ramen, and I think this might have been her favorite part of the meal. It had slow cooked beef birria, consommé, melty cheese and ramen noodles with cilantro and red onions, plus lime and radishes on the side. It had a little spice to it and was absolutely packed with flavor. She loved it! My husband ordered one of their burritos with a side of tater tots. The kid in him was VERY happy that tater tots were an option. And FYI the burritos here are HUGE. I ordered the Smothered Spicy Chile Verde Burrito, and OMG. It had braised pork in chile verde sauce with rice and refried black beans, wrapped in a flour tortilla and then smothered with MORE chile verde, melted cheese and chipotle lime crema. It was MASSIVE and SO GOOD! I honestly have yet to find anything in Reno that compares to this one. I would order it again in a heartbeat. And whatever you do, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! We got the churro beignets, and they were fantastic. Covered in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel and condensed milk... seriously, what more do you need? They were the perfect way to finish the meal. Muertos Cantina ended up being such a great first stop on our Utah trip. Fun atmosphere, really good food, huge portions and so many different flavors. Again the atmosphere set the entire vibe for our meal. Yelp came through for me again!

    My SO was craving a burrito from here so I grudgingly went along for moral support, if not to eat…read more Based on my snacking off of his plate and perusing the new menu, I am bumping them up to 4 stars. The food is still very good here and some of my previous gripes are no longer an issue. I can now order tacos and burritos à la carte again. While there is still no way to go pick whatever salsa I want and the options are still more limited than before, at least they bring out 3 of my favorites with the chips now. The drinks are still just okay , a shadow of their former selves and I will never be able to accept the loss of my beloved watermelon margarita, the way they used to make it, but I will concede the drinks are decent. Service was fine. Parking is a hassle but that's just Sugarhouse. ‍ So yeah, I guess I'm back to "willing to eat here once in a while", from "I'm never eating here again". They even have a nice taco Tuesday deal which I may hit up in the near future.

    This is the first time I've eaten at this location. I usually go to there #1 location. Same great…read morefood quality here. As I said for the review for their Tacos Lopez #1, it is the best al pastor I've ever eaten. I've eaten a lot, coming from Tucson. As a matter of fact, I didn't know if I ever would find Mexican food that would be in the same echelon as Tucson's Mexican restaurants. Tacos Lopez #1 was the first place I tried. Whoa! It was great. Same thing here. Same food, same everything. Same efficient and friendly service. The best part is that there is a lot more room here which makes it more comfortable. That's the only difference. So no worries, if you are looking for absolutely great food, this is the place. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Was not going to eat tacos at all in Utah. Coming from California I feel we have the best. But this…read moreplace did not disappoint. Amazing!! I don't give many taco shops 5 stars. A viral TikToker who I usually agree with his reviews gave them a 7/10 and I think he missed. Everything about this place screams TJ! Did take a long time to get tacos. They were packed. Full house in a Saturday night but I can see why. .
