Moab is a 100% tourist town for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. As I'm sure most already know, tourist towns are notorious for overpriced everything, and this restaurant is no exception. Miguel's is one of the few restaurants in town that seemed appetizing, so we were willing to wait around 45 minutes at dinner time to get a table for 5. While the service was extremely friendly and courteous, it was slow and confusing (3-4 different staff members serving the same table). The food was tasty, especially the chips and salsa. Not an amazing restaurant by any stretch, but likely one of your better options in Moab! read more

In town to visit Arches and Canyonlands. Drive by Miguel's Baja Grill and saw how busy it was and so we stopped by for dinner. & we were seated within 15 minutes at dinner time! The place is colorful and decorated really nice! I had the Traditional Fish Tacos, my son ordered the M.O.A.B. & my BF went with the 1/2 order of the M.O.A.B. Food is really good and portions are huge! Staff were so awesome and attentive. They filled the salsa and chips or water without being asked. When ever in Moab, I'd totally come back to Miguel's - great experience read more

The freshest tasting Mexican food we have ever had. Flavors are great. Nothing but fresh ingredients and spices! Big portions! Had a huge chicken quesadilla that was packed with chicken! The salsas are all great and super fresh! A good value meal! read more

Staff very friendly and food was delicious. Highly recommend the fish tacos!

Hi, I wish I could give a good review but sadly the hostess ruined the experience. We were quoted 20-30 but waited 90 minutes for a table. Please get rid of the hostess-- she is very unprofessional and just generally rude. She wouldn't reply to requests for updates from my girlfriend or I, or any other patrons for that matter. The waiting list was erratic and people who came in after us were seated and ate before us--- makes 0 sense it is frankly embarrassing that a business operates in such a fashion. When we left the hostess was too embarrassed to even say good night or offer any apology. Food was decent and our waitress was good so we felt obligated to give a tip (I normally tip 25-30%), but frankly the hostess completely ruined the meal. If I owned the restaurant I'd be sorely embarrassed to have her represent my establishment. read more

Cute restaurant Great meal, loved the guacamole, ceviche and enchiladas, well just everything! Thanks read more

I usually have hard time liking mexican rice, but this place offers you the best mexican rice that takes you back to your childhood! All in all, their food is amzing, they give pride not just to their main dish but also their sides! The server is very nice, all smiles and very courteous! read more

Great food and great service from DeShawn. Had blended margaritas and fish tacos that were delicious. We all thought the portions were pretty good. We had the table at the door and it was pretty chilly so if they offer you that table, I'd pass on that. read more

Miguel's was able to accommodate a sizable group, and the service was good, which is why they get three stars instead of two. Food was not good. We had a wide selection of the menu (9 people, and everyone got something different), and no one described their dinner as better than "meh". read more

Another place forgot our res and we walked in here. And so glad for the mistake. This was a true gem. Baby clams with garlic butter, fresh made guacamole, lamb tacos, great salsa, and burrito the size of your leg with multiple sauces to choose from (including a pretty great mole'). And yes the margaritas were killer. We might come back tomorrow. Not sure why this place isn't at least a 4.5 on here. read more

For Food I had the Carne Asada Tacos and they are amazing, Service was great, and the place is so colorful and upbeat!

I have been going to Moab for over 20 years and have eaten at Miguel's many times over the years with good success. I am sad to say that all the recent negative reviews are true. The food has become marginal and the pricing has become over the top... 19.99 for fish tacos / beans / rice is insane given the decrease in quality. I am sad to see it in this shape. I hope they can turn it around as we were there on Saturday night... most other places had a wait... Miguel's had more staff than folks dining. read more

We had dinner here our first night in Moab. It was pretty disappointing. We were told that they were short staffed and so we had to wait, but it got worse from there. There was a steady stream of folks coming in for take out who seemed to get priority. They kept leaving the door open, which made our table very cold. The chips, salsa, guacamole were all great! But the rest of our food was not. My pork tacos seemed over cooked. The fish tacos, apparently a specialty, were greasy and not flavorful. The worst part was very poor service. We had to ask for items multiple times, including drinks and condiments. Won't be back. read more

We had a great dinning experience here. the service and food was awesome! Everything seemed fresh and natural. Even the water tasted good ( we found out they serve filtered water which is a big plus in my opinion.) Our waiter was really attentive and helpful. He cheked in fequently and asked if we had questions about the menu. I would definitely recommend dinning here when in Moab. You'll come away feeling satisfied! read more

We decided to go to Miguel's after walking around town for our last night. The place was busy and you could see that the servers were overwhelmed. However, our server, Aiden, was so attentive despite being busy. It was one of the best service I've had. The food was delicious and the margaritas were great. read more

We went sure where to eat till we walked by this hole In a wall restaurant. I got the Chile rellano and it was the best one I have ever had. I would highly recommend this place if your in Moab Utah. read more

We arrived about the time they opened. A few tables were being used. Service was pretty good. Their salsa, mushy and lacking color and taste. Food was pretty good. Have had better Mexican. read more

My AirBnB host told me to go here & what an excellent recommendation!! This place is REALLY busy - we went on a Tuesday night at about 6.30 and still had a 45min wait. Totally worth it though! You get free chips & salsa when you arrive which are super tasty. I then had two types of tacos which came with rice & beans & my bf had a steak fajita. Both were incredibly generous portions & totally delicious. The meat was all cooked perfectly, the rice was incredible & beans super tasty. We also had dessert (we'd had a big day hiking!!) - a key lime pie & fried ice cream. The desserts were better portions and perfection. I can't fault this place - service, price, food, all excellent!!! read more

Miguel's Baja Grill - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Moab, Utah

Stopped here for dinner. There was a 40 minute wait, which was due to the apparent popularity of this place. We are vegetarians, so we ordered a portobello enchiladas and poblano chili burrito (both with mole sauce). DELICIOUS!!! Service was excellent as well. read more

Poor service. Great food. While we were almost immediately shown to our table and given water and chips, it took about ten minutes for a server to come to our table - and that was only after asking for someone to come take our drink order. When our server arrived a couple of minutes later, we gave him our drink and food order but he never offered to refill our empty water glasses or empty chip basket. One of the other servers brought out our food and asked if we needed anything else. I asked for more water so she brought us a pitcher which she sat on the table without refilling any glasses. Our server didn't come to check on us until after my oldest son had already finished his meal. My husband and I would've ordered a second round of drinks but by then we didn't want to wait. Our sons left the restaurant to go shopping before my husband and I finished, and their empty plates sat there while our server stood at the front of the restaurant talking with another server. The server who had brought us our food brought us our check and cleared our plates. While the food was really good, the service left a whole lot to be desired. read more

I had the entree of mahi-mahi fish prepared with garlic, came with veggies and I got black beans instead of rice on the side. Great service from Raphaela. Six of us fit at a round table in the back. We put our names on the list and went for a drink and a walk around for an hour. It's Moab, they don't take reservations at Miguel's it's got great food, just factor that into your plans and window shop or get some appetizers elsewhere first. When you sit down it is worth it. Friend had ceviche (huge!) and another friend had burrito (also huge!) Portions are large. Still thinking about my fish... would definitely go back! read more

Delicious! Small menu, but you can find something that you like. The margaritas are great here. They don't take reservations. We got there right as they opened and there was already a line. We got lucky with a nice table outside. I got carne asada tacos with steak that melted in your mouth, and my husband got the M.O.A.B burrito which was delicious as well. Next time we're in the area will definitely stop by again! read more

Good Mexican food in Moab. The green pork enchiladas are fire. Worth a visit for sure.

So good! The service was great, we had April as our server, and the food came out quick and was delicious. We had the fish tacos and the steak fajitas, and ended with the churros. Yum! Thanks April for the prompt service and lots of smiles! read more

While the twenty minute estimate for a wait turned to fifty, we were undeterred and it was worth the extra wait with anxious masked bystanders spaced apart on the sidewalk. Collin was quick to greet us with a fat basket of chips and glasses of margs- despite his recent trip to urgent care for his elbow sprain. He provided recommendations which we did not heed as we biked the whole enchilada so we had to eat enchiladas. They did not disappoint. The cheese portions were insane, sour cream weirdly unique and delicious, and the beans you could tell for sure came from a 70 yr old cast iron on Miguel's abuelas stove top. While we are not local, and have no intentions of being locals- we will for sure repeat. read more

Super busy, 40-50 mins waiting time for dine in, so we ordered take outs. Fish Taco and scallop salad was great.

Great find! After a long day of travel, we looked on Yelp for recommended local restaurants. Based on reviews, we chose the Baja Grill. We stepped in the door about 25-minutes before closing. The restaurant owner waived us in. A cheerful hostess showed us to our table. The food was fresh and very good. We had carnitas tacos and chicken tacos. The sides of rice and refried beans were very good. What most impressed us was the exceptional customer service. The restaurant owner has invested quality time in training his wait staff. Everyone working in this small, family owned eatery was polite, helpful and attentive. The level of customer service rivaled the service you would expect in a fine dining establishment. Kudos to the owner for the excellent training of his staff. We will certainly eat here again when passing through town. read more

After climbing and hiking around Arches National Park, a good meal in a relaxing atmosphere is most welcome. Miguel's Baja Grill may be small in size, but big on taste; based upon the cuisine of Baja California Sur (one of the Mexican States) Our waitress, Rafaela, was all smiles, welcoming and very helpful with the menu questions. The Salsa was a type we had not tasted before; the taste of lime and cilantro was predominant which enhanced the flavor of the chunky tomatoes and diced onions; heat was medium. The Guacamole was a chunky mixture of avocado, onion and tomatoes; sprinkling a little salt over it all helped to enhance the flavors. An appetizer of Chicken Flautas started off this dinner adventure. Tortillas were tightly wrapped around slices of tender chicken, deep fried and served with what could only be described as a salad on top. Taking a bite of flauta with a bit of the salad was a taste sensation and fun to eat. My husband had Steak Tampiquena for his main course; a nicely seasoned flatiron steak which is grilled; served with two chicken flautas (what can I say, they were good) and an enchilada. He chose mole sauce for the enchilada; however I did not care for it as the chocolate flavor was too overwhelming for me. I enjoy Baja Fish Tacos, so definitely ordered that dish when I spied it on the menu. It must be popular, as I kept hearing people around me ordering it also. The batter on the deep fried Mahi Mahi was light and the fish was flaky. The "special sauce" served with it tasted like buttermilk ranch dressing, so I ignored it. Instead I used the shredded cabbage, salsa and sour cream; definitely yummy. Miguel's Baja Grill opens for dinner only at 5pm; we arrived at 5:45; only a few tables were still open. By the time we left, it was packed and there was a waiting list; tourists and locals alike know a good place. If you're looking for "not run of the mill" Mexican cuisine, try Miguel's. read more

The service here was pretty good. I think it may be a family run restaurant? Being from LA, I am quite picky when it comes to mexican food. But comparing this restaurant to other in Moab, I had to give it a 3 star. I had the chicken enchiladas and my friend had the chicken burrito. Let me start by saying that if you order a burrito, stuck with the half size. The burrito is gigantuan (is that even a word? Well is it now...) The tacos were okay. The beans and rice were okay. The jalapeño pepper they serve is probably the best thing on the plate. Oh and their chips and salsa aren't too shabby either :) read more

Just rolled into Moab from Salt Lake City. We didn't see any vegetable gardens or fisheries along the way. So when we ordered a Mahi-Mahi salad, the super fresh ingredients were going to result in the dish being a little more expensive than a restaurant closer to the food source. But well worth it. The fish was cooked perfectly, by the way. Our side of cerviche was also well conceived. The Mahi-Mahi was light and tender with onions and cilantro in a spicy vinegary red sauce. Finally, we had the chile rilleno stuffed with shrimp. Part of it was covered in a green sauce and the remainder was covered in a mole sauce. The shrimp were large, the chiles were mild and flavorful, and the cheese and sauces all blended harmoniously. What a nice start to our stay in Moab PS. We came back again 5 days later. Just want to warn everyone that the chicken fajita was disappointing. It came on a plate rather than a hot iron skillet. The chicken was dry and under seasoned. The onions were sautéed but not caramelized. The red and green peppers were lightly cooked. There were no sour cream or guacamole sides to dress it with. Avoid the fajitas. read more

I love Miguel's. It's a funky open restaurant that serves up great food and excellent service. I had the lamb enchiladas and they were authentic and delicious. We go to Miguel's nearly every visit to Moab and are always very happy eating there. Highly recommend this place. read more

Miguel's Baja Grill - Mexican Near Me - Moab, Utah

Amazing food and super fast service. We got there at 5pm just before the dinner rush and everything came out quickly. Drinks were pricy but delicious! Will be back if we're ever in town. read more

We ate here two nights in a row because it was so good and fresh. Ceviche was freshly made. Pork tacos were delicious and two had more meat than you usually find in 4 tacos! They leave a pitcher of water so you aren't constantly looking for a refill after a day of hiking. They bring seconds on chips and salsa before you can ask. Side note for those who have Celiac. They do gluten free well! Margaritas are wonderful!! read more

This location and decor are Devine. The margaritas were phenomenal and the food was excellent. I feel this is a hidden gem! Would highly recommend anyone to come here. Service was amazing, as well! read more

What a tasty and filling place to stop after a day adventuring around Moab! Very impressed by the attention to detail this place has- the covered patio right off Main Street is the perfect place to unwind, the free salsa is some of the best I've ever had, and our meals came with a wonderful grillEd jalapeño I found particularly delightful. This is a great place for vegetarians- they had a good vegetarian menu selection and patiently answered my questions about ingredients. I love mole, their version is not only vegetarian but also delicious! The top shelf margaritas were also a great treat and well worth the extra dollar. read more

A gem in Moab! It was one of the best Mexican meals we ever had! They welcome you with delicious tortilla chips and homemade salsa. We took the enchiladas with steak and mole sauce and that was awesome! Perfect after a hiking day. Plus the margaritas were very good! We recommend it :) it feels like you are in Mexico's streets! read more

Really impressed! We ordered takeout and it was all delicious. Very flavorful and good quality. Happy we found them!

My waitress at the Jailhouse Cafe recommended Miguel's as the most authentic Mexican in town. It exceeded our expectations. They seated our party of 9 in mere minutes. The margaritas were fantastic. I asked the waitress for her favorite, and she loved the fajitas (my husband ordered) or the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, which I got. I would not normally have ordered but I inhaled them! I have eaten at many other restaurants in town, but this is my favorite. The kids left a note for the kitchen about how great the food was. Don't miss Miguel's! read more

We loved this restaurant. The food was wonderful. We ordered guacamole for an appetizer that was freshly made and chunky. I had the San Juan Carne Asada tacos and my husband had the Chile Relleno plate. Everything was prepared and cooked to order. We were very happy with our dinner. Our waitress was wonderful. She was busy but kept her smile and was able to keep everything correct. I wish I remembered her name. Thank you! Our only complaint was Mr. Grumpy Pants- the host that seated us. He was very unfriendly and could have ruined our evening but the rest was perfect!! read more

I knew I shouldn't have deviated from El Churro Loco. I was walking through there, thought I would stop. They also don't like off-roaders. Hard Pass. read more
