I imagine this place is popping at night. Food was delicious! Fries: crispy. Carne asada: well cooked, not chewy at all, not tough fatty pieces whatsoever--an actual miracle when it comes to carne asada fries. Also, first time ever having refried beans in carne asada fries and it's a life changer. The sauces at Aribertos were super fresh and delicious. I'm a sucker for good avocado salsa verde and theirs is the bomb! Counting the days til I'm back here again.

Our server was a very kind young man and took good care of us, but with the quality of the food and the price, I really wouldn't suggest trying. The fish tacos are fried (and probably frozen from Sysco), the chorizo tacos I ordered were burnt to the point where it wasn't enjoyable to eat. The pastor was honestly really good though. My wife enjoyed the enchiladas, but again, $15 for the plate we got just seemed agressive and inconsiderate of the customers. The restaurant itself was nice enough, not particularly dirty or clean. The door leading to outside seating was locked, apparently we couldn't eat out there. It's not the worst I've had, but the value for price is insanely low.

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

Our oldest grandson said the carnitas tacos were too good--he ate six of them. My arrachera steak had a great flavor, and the side of onions and portobella mushrooms was generous and perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed the tasty glazed carrots. My husband's bone-in short rib birria was melt-in-your-mouth tender and enough to feed two people. Unfortunately, I had to deduct a star because of a safety issue. The arrachera was served on a hot stone placed on a wooden board. When it arrived at our table, the stone was still so hot it was spitting droplets of fat. Being short in stature, I was right in the line of fire. Also, metal absorbs heat, so the steak knife leaning against the stone was too hot to touch. Another problem with this serving method is that a medium rare steak can quickly become well done. Anyway, I had to transfer the food to a plate before I could eat it. I strongly urge the chefs or waiters to plate the arrachera in the kitchen, even if the presentation isn't as dramatic.

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.

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!

They should be pumping out the orders. It took forever and there was zero explanation from the cashier upfront or an apology when the food was ready. As far as the food goes, it was fresh and good.

I will say, this is NOT fast food. They make the food fresh to order so do not expect to have a fast drive-thru. We waited quite some time but I have no complaints about that because of the freshness of the food. Additionally, we ordered a side of rice but the nice gentleman at the window told us that as they were cooking the rice, they decided after doing quality control, it just wasn't up to par with their standards. So, he offered us a refund on the side of rice and they filled the taco salad with all the other yummy stuff. We appreciated the honesty and would rather a refund than to be sold yucky rice! As far as the food goes, it was all fantastic. The taquitos hit the spot and had guacamole, cheese, and lettuce. I'd for sure get them again! The refried beans were hot and flavorful. The beef in the taco was juicy and fresh. We will definitely try the taco salad again when they have better rice so we can get the full experience but the chicken was super juicy and flavorful. We are happy to have stumbled upon this place and grateful they're open for our late night cravings. We will definitely be back!
