Do NOT sleep on the Mexican food in Utah! Despite Don Joaquin being a chain, I think they serve…read moresome of the best Mexican food in Utah, specifically their tacos. So simple, yet so good, as tacos should be! Their food here is very straight forward - Mexican and tasty, no extra bells and whistles. I bought about 10 tacos on Tuesday, since they have a Taco Tuesday deal. Some meats don't apply to the deal, like tripe, but that's okay. It was worth the few extra bucks. For tacos, I got asada, pollo, cabeza, tripe, al pastor, and lengua. Their service is good, quick enough, and the works are kind. I will say, there might be a slight language barrier (Spanish vs. English) but nothing to worry about. This location is quite big, lots of tables! Inside of this location, there is also a dessert/drink spot. I love the protein options they have here. I sometimes just order by the pound with their Spanish red rice and call it a good night! They also have a salsa bar with all the toppings you can want on a taco. I'll always be returning to Don Joaquin!

Super cute and clean! Reminds us of our other top spot for tacos! We're excited to try their food!…read more Tacos were pretty good. The meat was high quality but we've been a little spoiled with tacos that are pre stuffed with lots of goodies. I did find these to be fairly bland and basic. Even some cheese with the meat would have helped. They were also pretty wet with the broth which made a huge mess. Really good meat though. Portion size was too small for my husband.

I keep hearing people talking about birria tacos, so when I found Red Taco in Lehi, I was excited…read moreto try it out. Since they do this so well, they don't need to have a robust menu with other meats...if you want a huge variety, go somewhere else. But if you want to try their specialty, you won't regret it. The branding and décor inside are well done-my family especially liked the sugar skulls that adorned an entire wall. My son opted for the ramen and ended up struggling to finish it. Word of caution: it's HOT! If you don't do heat well, this might be one to skip. I had the birrio tacos (duh) and they were fabulous. And my wife had the quesadilla which was cheese and meat and said they were also outstanding. We will definitely return for more!

Wife ordered the Birria quesadillas and the portion was huge. There were delicious and for that price, such a steal. I ordered the carne asada plate and absolutely loved it. The beef was tender, rice and beans were amazing and the piece of grilled queso fresco they add to the plate is top notch. The two salsas that come with each dish are amazing too. Red salsa super spicy and delicious and the green one was super fresh. I'll be coming back here soon, for sure.

The tacos were pretty good but not my favorite birria out there. Flavorful but SO GREASY. The platter was covered in grease by the time I was done and so were my hands.

Having…read moreceliac disease, it is hard at times to find restaurants that are willing to make substitutions but Ocotillo went above and beyond to do so. Including cleaning the grill to avoid cross contamination as well as giving us a safe substitution of chips for our appetizers. The food itself was incredibly flavorful and authentic. Carne asada was so tender and juicy and the ceviche was surprisingly tasty. The restaurant itself was well decorated and an open kitchen concept as well which is so fun. Quiet enough for an intimate setting but casual enough for a birthday dinner. Highly recommend and will be back asap

And the presentation of their drinks and food cannot be beat. Each item is beautifully offered. I mean, this was the most beautiful guacamole I have ever seen and it tasted great with the sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce served alongside. The service was quite good as the staff worked together to make sure to take care of us. We loved our meals (and even the leftovers were great). My burger was flavorful and juicy enough that a napkin was required. If is was to ask for one thing, it would have been stronger flavor profiles for their speciality drinks. They were good, just a little on the weak side. We will be back.

You know it's gonna be good Mexican food when all the customers and employees and the TV are speaking Spanish! I got the super nachos and the meat on them was very good!

Could have just gotten one. Ate half at the store, saved the other half for later. It cost a little bit more to pay with credit card. I paid with cash, but I'm pretty sure the lady charged me the credit card price. I asked her and she said it was the tax. But I'm pretty sure I saw the $9. You can get sauce and peppers on the side. There are a little sandwich bags for the peppers. I ate the second half for lunch later in the day. I enjoyed it more when it was cold. There was so much grease that came out.
