    Asada Chimichanga

    This place was super cute aesthetic inside, the food came really fast. The portions were quite generous especially for the good prices. Horchata was really good and highly recommended.

    As a transplant from Houston to Salt Lake this restaurant satisfies my Tex-Mex obsession. Always fresh and quickly prepared with generous portions. If your Wendover give this place a try!

    What a fun discovery for us, even though many famous speed drivers from Bonneville have been coming for years! This place is popular with locals and if I lived here I would be one of them, weekly if not daily! The walls are full of autographed speed photos. The food has a handmade taste. My huevos were spectacular. Our table also ordered a hamburger, it was good to the last bite! All the workers were family and the owner has been cooking in Wendover since 1984!

    This family owned and operated place has really good food. Service was fantastic in this small diner.

    Was told about this place by a local at Tona Vista golf course In Wendover Nv. I have been coming to Wendover for years and as small as it is, didn't know of the little gem. We ate there and came back the next day to try something different. Not shy with the proteins in the tacos and other menu items. could use a little more flavor but the chili verde is well seasoned. Great price for what you get. Will definitely frequent the Salt Flat Cafe next visit to Wendover.

    Checked out Salt Flat's café recently & It was amazing! Definitely a hidden gem in the city. It's slightly southwest of the casinos. The chips & salsa came out quickly after we sat down. The salsa was really spicy! I couldn't handle much of it. It had good flavor just really spicy. My boyfriend ordered the Huevos Rancheros with carne asada. His only complaint was that he wishes the beans were on top of the chips instead of under the chips. He felt like it was hard to get to them until he ate the chips down more. He also ordered one single carne asada taco & he said he really liked this! Said the carne asada was cooked to perfection. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with rice & beans. This plate was massive! The sauce was dripping off the sides. It ended up coming with 3 enchiladas. More than I could finish by myself for sure! I'm not a lover of red enchilada sauce but I actually really liked their red enchilada sauce. The rice & beans were good. Service was really quick! Portions were huge & it only cost $30 total. They do only accept cash, so be aware of that before you go.

    John suggested that I eat lunch at one of the casinos, except I am horrifically allergic to cigarette smoke and very quickly realized- absolutely no. So- I landed at a small, authentic, Mexican restaurant. Cash only was posted on the door- check. I walked in and heard only Spanish being spoken, oh, this is going to be good! This is a hole in the wall- stand alone building, gravel parking lot with no lines- just pick your parking spot. Inside, tables were packed with families. I waited to be seated and was shown to a booth. I saw all the large plates around the various tables and EVERYTHING looked and SMELLED delicious! This was my last day in the area- with a red eye flight that evening and I am seriously thinking refried beans (which were delicious) were going to come back and bite me in the a$$. It was worth it! lol I ordered flautas- which were very tasty and the plate came with refried beans and rice- both delicious. I took my couple leftovers in the car with me since it was an hour and half ride back to the city. I loved touring the Salt Flats and this lunch spot was a huge hit for me!

    Bottom line: Cash only, good food, friendly service, depressing desert ambiance, stray animals, and near the train tracks. When passing through the state line recently for a fill up, we decided to stop for breakfast. We arrived at 10:01 a.m. and were the first customers. Since our pup was with us, we asked if we could sit outside. The answer was yes, but we'd have to place a to-go order since there's no service on the patio. That was ok with us. Only one of the outdoor tables was in the shade so we snagged it. Shortly after, more cars started arriving and the place got pretty busy on Saturday morning. (There was a small wait when we were leaving.) The food was good, though I was surprised that 1) the breakfast came with chips and salsa that entailed flour (not corn) chips and super runny salsa, and 2) the chorizo plate didn't come with refried beans. We weren't expected to pay until we'd finished our meal, so it's kind of an honor system in that regard but helpful if you decide to order more. Around the patio are discarded appliances and trailers, some of which don't appear to have been occupied for years. We saw two (stray?) dogs and a cat as well as the passing train. The service was very friendly y hablan español. Prices were fair. Ladies' room could use some maintenance, a mirror, and a notice for employees to wash their hands. On the bright side, we didn't get sick!

    If you're in Wendover and want to avoid the typical casino fare this is the place! The "Pancho Special" is a must!

    The reviews here don't lie, I wish I had better things to report. Let's start with the atmosphere…read more- probably 4 stars, the place is pretty nice for a casino cafe. Unfortunately that's where our smiles ended. Service was poor, waitress took our order and we never saw her again. It was around 9:00 pm on a Tuesday night, the place was empty. Would have loved another drink or refill of water, never happened. Food was horrendous - my open face roast beef was shoe leather with instant potatoes and drowning in gravy most likely from a can. French dip, same show leather meat. Patty melt had barely any onions - I will say, the Tobasco fries were great (hard to screw up frozen fries). The casino was super nice compared to what we expected, so not a total loss - but pop over to McDonalds next door and skip this cafe.

    We arrived in West Wendover on our way to Park City thinking we were going to eat at Pancho and…read moreWillie's but we were told it was over an hour wait. We decided to try Cafe Milano and we're seated immediately. Sergio was our server, as he took our order I asked if we could order cocktails and he asked me what I wanted. What was funny was he then walked away leaving my husband and his brother confused. So they walked out to the casino bar to get a couple of beers. Sergio didn't write any of our order down and seemed kind of rattled. When our food came my brother in law bit into his Spicy Buffalo Chicken sandwich and the spicy spewed out all over the place. My husband ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad which was so wet he had to stop eating it. I opted for the Potato Loaded with Carne Asada which had potential until you reached the potato. It was very dried out, not at all what I expected for $21.95. Our bill for three with tip was $89.27, not including the two beers they bought at the casino bar. For the quality of food we received, and the strange service, I would not return to Cafe Milano.
