Food was good. Service was exceptional. Ambiance was old style Mexican restaurant. Clean but not fancy.

Service was bad, portion sizes were small. It seemed like the food was microwaved right before they brought it out. Lettuce was hot and cheese crispy, over cooked. Ambience was fine Restrooms were awful. Graffiti all over the walls in the men's restroom. If the bathroom looked like this I wonder what their kitchen looks like. read more

So I tried this La Puente twice within a week..Friday for lunch and Monday for dinner. The food was amazing! We tried enchiladas, tacos, burritos, tostadas and nachos (between the 2 days). And the food was fresh and flavorful those 2 times. Different staff too. They greeted us at the door, explained the menu (I speak Spanish) and they loved it. The sitting area felt relaxed and they played music kind of low which I liked. Clean place too. I'm glad I gave this place a try because I had a bad experience at a different location a few years ago. Really really good rice & beans! read more

La Puente - Small Combination Plate & Horchata - Mexican Near Me - Taylorsville, Utah

In the past 2 months I have been here 3 times for lunch. It's become one of my favorite spots so today I decided to give it a review and leave some positive love. I got here around 11:30 and there were a few groups seated but has I ate, more and more, people were seated. This is a great spot for lunch because it offers quite a lot few options on the lunch special menu. Today ordered from that list and for a cheese enchiladas with rice. I also got a tamale and it was so yummy. If ever there was a time where you were debating on this place and another Mexican restaurant located kiddy-corner, pick here! The Salsa has a kick, the service is kind, and the food is yummy. Oh and the lunch special comes with a drink! read more

The quest for really good Mexican food continues... we stopped in for dinner last night and we're pretty disappointed. Both our entrees lacked flavor and the lack of Re-filling chips when they were empty is very odd. At least show some attention to your tables. Good thing I didn't need a water refilled or anything. They did get two stars for the chips and ok salsa. Lost stars on the chimichanga and smothered tacos. Zero flavor and the overly sweet 7.50 margarita he choked down wasn't very good either. read more

Been coming here since they opened and they kill It every time! The owner is very kind and personable when ringing out. The Smothered burrito will always be my go to. read more

Nope never coming here again!!! Waitress did not seem happy at all. The young boy that sat us down and got our dinks was nice. The food was not good no flavor my daughters fries I asked to be plain and they put Chile powder ... idk if their AC is out but it was hot inside also ,save your money and drive to the one on state street . The food there is great and spicy read more

Was a returning customer for many years! I'm 23, usually a beer girly but ordered a margarita. This place looks authentic and I hear Mexican margaritas are the best. I had a paper id, with a bar code to scan. The waitress comes back and says sorry no id. I said this is a real ID? She then sends her lesbian dyke looking bartender to confront me who said it was "policy" they couldn't accept it. I've never heard of that nor have I been turned away because of my ID. Mind you I'm a mother and literally have my three kids with me. I felt discriminated against, especially after some young Mexican dude ordered a beer and wasn't ID'd. Do better. I didn't tip, didn't want my food and walked tf up out of there service was also slow. Dropped off food and waited a good minute to get silverware to eat it. read more

They always have good food. It's always hot and fresh. The service is always great. I wish they had a website though.

Everything was either cold or overcooked. Tried take out a few times and kept saying I'd never go there again, tried once more. Epic disappointment also a communication block from what I asked. Shouldn't have paid any of it. read more

Good and friendly service, food is great, prices are fair, lots to take home for two more hefty meals!

This place came recommended and I'm wondering what the hell they are thinking. I was going to hit up a taco truck but I went here and paid for over priced Taco Bell food. The chorizo tasted like chili and I had no idea they would be coming in a hard shell. Asked for sour cream and Cholula, they came back with sour cream in a packet and informed me they only have Tabasco for a sauce. I'll save my money and just head straight to Taco Bell for this bad of quality food. read more

Food was just ok. Our waitress didn't speak much English. So it was very hard to communicate our order. 2 out of 4 of our plates came back wrong, but we didn't complain. Because you never send your food back at a restaurant, if you know what I mean... With in a little over an hour we were all sick as can be. Eat here at your own risk. read more

My husband does not like refried beans so when he orders his smothered burritos he orders them with no beans inside the burrito or on the plate. The first couple times coming they have gotten his order right, however we came here a couple weeks ago and he ordered the same thing he does every time and there were beans inside the burrito, the main waitress took it back but acted like she was put out. We thought we would give it another shot, so we came in on 5.23.2024 and he ordered the same thing and again there were beans inside his smothered burritos. The main waitress needs to pay more attention! read more

the food is mediocre, the service was awful, we was seated as I watched to only waitress in the restaurant take the orders for people seated after us because apparently she know them, she spent several minutes just chatting with them totally ignoring everyone else. the bus person was delivering food to the other table while she was busy chatting. Once we finally order she never returned to our table. She walked by put the ticket on our table without say on word to us. read more

This was my first time ordering from this location. I usually go to the one off of 3300 and state and they're amazing. The food arrived and it was barely warm, that wasn't due to the delivery time since as you can see from the photo the cheese wasn't even melted. The sauce was more watery than the other location and the rice wasn't cooked all the way through, kept getting crunch bites of rice. The chips and salsa were the only good thing. Will not eat at this location again. read more

We've been coming here for some time and always have good food and good service. Today, I had tamales...YUM! Hubby had his favorite smothered burrito with rice (sans beans for him today). It's not a posh place, but its not a dive, either. Simple good food at good prices in a good place. We keep coming back! read more

The front counter boy, a teenager, not the most pleasant. What is it with teenage workers these days! Anyway, or waitress, Letty is awesome. So quick, so friendly. Greys the order right and brings the drinks and refills quickly before you even ask. Ford is great, the flour tortillas are thick, and delicious. We've only been a few times, but very good. read more

Just walking into the restaurant I felt an unfriendly atmosphere. I ordered pork chile verde enchiladas and between the two enchiladas there was one small piece of pork. The sauce tasted good but they were basically cheese enchiladas. The waitress, busboy and cashier all gave off a bad vibe and were not cheerful or kind. Service was slow and the ambience of the place took on an air of animosity and I will never go back. Staff was unfriendly, food was not good and the place was empty except for my friend and one other table. I can see why it was empty. read more

The food was below mediocre and very overpriced for the quality. Our server was also kind of rude. I won't be back. read more

Terrible service, and rude staff. Food was okay, overall better food and service at La Fountain.

This has been one of my very favorite restaurants for years. I especially enjoy the smothered chili verda burritos ,and the cheese enchiladas. read more

Not very good. Couldn't figure out how they can maintain their location with such bad Mexican food with all the competition near by with much better food and prices. Walk in and waitress seats us pretty quick. Wings the basket of chips on the table and a condiment squeeze bottle full of puréed sauce. It was pretty good sauce but was NOT salsa -1 for no salsa. Chips are cold and not freshly fried. I ordered a shrimp fajita. The vegetables barely touched the skillet. They would be crunchy enough for a garden salad and there was zero spices. No cumin, garlic, NOTHING. The shrimp has tails on, awkward trying to dig through the mixture before filling a shell. It came with rice & beans with cheese, a couple strips of iceberg lettuce and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. The tortillas were the THICKEST ones I'd ever seen. I just left those. Now since I'm hungry I just eat the stuff in the plate with a fork. About half way through, I bite into flesh. I almost had a heart attack. I thought I'd bit a a rat. I spit it out. -100 for that! My husband had a beef burrito he asked for rice and beans, waitress wrote it down, but didn't bring. He asked if it was coming she questioned if he'd ordered it. She came back with it and said yes she had written it down. His burrito was wrapped in the thick tortilla, he took a bite and unwrapped it, dumping the contents on plate to eat. Waitress brought rice and beans. He picked at those. He said it's EVERYTHING you'd get in a can. We just ask for bill. Waitress asked if my margarita was good. It was frozen and VERY sweet. The lime was rotten. Since I thought she was talking about food, I told her it was bad and about rat meat, she looked at my plate and said it was "probably" something. If she's not sure then it's a rat to me. The whole experience was awful. The outside looked good and convenient but really belies the food. Prices were average so the mystery is...how do they compete? read more

Usually I love this place but this time was not enjoyable. Cashier had attitude with everyone, arrived and it was busy no problem I understand a wait to be seated. Sat down and waited 30 minutes for drink by this time it has slowed down only 5 other tables and in total waited an hour and 45 minutes for food. People who came after me had food before I did after another 30 minutes of waiting for a check I finally had to grab my own box (not that huge of a deal) but the fact I was here for almost 3 hours got served after everyone else and had to ask 3x about my food and kept getting told it would be out next and still ended up waiting almost 2 hours was ridiculous. Asked for a manager to be told they don't have one? Not a happy camper today so sad about this visit. read more

Last time I walked in there they insisted I wear a mask. So I took my party of 7 and went somewhere else.

The waitress on one occasion stayed on her phone and ignored us. I went tonight and the same waitress charged me 5.00 more for our meal. She added smothered burrito with Cheese and onions and a hamburger and fries and did not write the prices of the items she just put a total of 20 and some change on the receipt. I question it and the sweet young man at the register confirmed the error. She has no personality and I consider myself a regular there but if she is our waitress the next time we will walk out. I am a good tipper but she got nothing. The place wasn't busy so I cannot accept that that was an honest mistake I think she's a crook!!! Taylorsville location read more

Syrupy margarita with no hint of tequila, bland microwaved food, and crunchy rice. Ordered water with a lime. Round one, got plain water. Round 2, got a lemon wedge. Settled for that. The water was the best part of this meal. (The gross margarita came with a lime.) General Rating: YUK read more

This place is the absolute best value for your money by far. The large combo was literally 3 meals worth of food for a very reasonable price and the food was very good too. 1000% recommend for Mexican food lovers!! read more

This place has gone down hill dramatically, I've been going to la puente for years and only get the Chile verde burrito. I don't know what's wrong with this location, but when I order my smothered Chile verde burrito. It's just Chile verse sauce and literally 2 little pieces of pork ‍. The tortilla is always stiff and has hard spots. The sauce has no flavor I'm super bummed out and definitely not giving them my business anymore. I've tried to give them a chance, but after 7 times they haven't got it right one time. The only location that still has decent food is the 3300s location. In the photo you you can see the 2 pieces of pork read more

wish that I could give negative starts. I have loved this restaurant for years but enough is enough. We ordered food. It came and as soon as I opened my enchiladas I smelled rancid food. Took a bite. Maybe it was our sour cream or maybe post Covid mind playing tricks on me. Nope! 100% they put out rancid food! Called them, the girl who answered said ''A manager isn't available'' and wasn't concerned in the least. Are you kidding me!?! Worked in food service for years! There is ALWAYS a member of leadership around. Quality going down is one thing. Rancid food is a whole other. NEVER getting food here or any other location again. read more

Ive been coming here for the past 4 years. Steadily, it has been on a decline . I can tell they put the food in an oven/microwave . Its always extremely hot when it comes out, and is really oily . Rice was undercooked too. Yet, my girlfriends was fine... Not too authentic. The cheese basically saves it by being heated up the entire time. Today i went in to give it another try. They left my plate under the warmer too long , i could tell. The chicken was dry, sauce was oily , cheese was burnt on edges. I shouldve sent it back. But i know it would just happen again to someone else . This was the last straw. I used to cook. Theyve become lazy, and i know they profile . The attitude in service is mediocre. This place is not nearly as good as 3300, or Ft. Union. Stay away. read more

This location is not as good as the one on state street, do yourself a favor and go there instead. The steak I ordered was over cooked and tuff as shoe leather, I sent it back. My wifes ribs were over cooked, and their tortillas were full of cracks. Half the chips were also stale. Lastly they're to cheap to turn up the heater, staff was wearing coats. read more

Let me start off with the good. The food is okay. It's not great, but okay. I'm not sure how you can have spicy bland food, but they have accomplished just that. The bad. The restaurant is small and has windows down two sides. The windows have no coverings so those sitting next to the windows get "baked" if the sun is out. This also makes the restaurant too hot. The food took forever. My drinks were not refilled at all! Once the food came out we didn't see our waitress until we received the check. If you want some good Mexican food head down the street to Cafe Rio. read more

What a disgrace to this restaurant worst mexican food ever! Suppose to be known for the smothered burritos, well smothered refried beans is what u get with maybe 2 small pieces of pork! Have tried this place a couple times hoping it might get better but i give up! It is not worth the dissappointment! read more

Love Mexican food, haven't been to la puente for years. I asked the waitress how spicy the chili verde was and if she could bring me a little to taste. I thought it was little spicy and she suggested getting the chili verde on the side. Perfect I could put a little on top instead of having it smothered. Then I went to pay and she charged me extra. Less chili verde cost more money. The food was amazing so I think I'll pass next time. read more

Don't waste your money here . Worst service ever ! Very rude and unprofessional and the food has gone down hill . Try a different location.
