Food and service was amazing Will visit every time we go to Texas The food won't disappoint you even though it's in a gas station Better than a lot of Mexican restaurants read more

Santo Taco USED to be the well-priced value spot for authentic Mexican food..Not anymore. And I'm just not that into what they call a birria taco around here..Too much meat, not enough cheese, and to be true "quesabirria"-style they need to be griddled much more (like Del Barrio does). Plus their consommé was a too bitter for my liking. Al pastor here is the much better option - greasy, saucy, tender and flavorful chunks of pork. But these are average sized street tacos, not worth the $4.00-4.50 per price tag. I also tried their asada steak fries, one of the worst I've ever had. Fries were swimming in waay too much cheap, nasty Velveeta-style cheese, NO GUACAMOLE, and not nearly enough asada meat.***It's hard to believe, but an order of these has nearly quadrupled in price in 6 short years, up from $4 to one of the higher prices in town at $15!! But do keep in mind, an $8 half order is more than enough for one person. Salsa bar here is decent but lacked on salsa options, no creamy green or orange salsas here. They wouldn't even grill me onions when I asked, he instead pointed me down to the salsa bar, where raw onions were diced, unrinsed and very pungent, gag. They do have daily specials that help some with prices. Sunday wasn't even on their list and ended up being 3x birria tacos for $10. So the counter service was friendly enough but not very accommodating. Ease of communication was only so-so. The dining room is small, order in back by the soda machine. Atmosphere is more modern than your average hole in the wall taqueria, complete with photo op for the Gram. I was super annoyed that they only have tall bar height tables. And the speaker blasting music was too loud according to my kiddos. I usually agree with Guy Fieri on his picks, but I just can't do it with Santo Taco. read more

Delicious tacos and great customer service! Food is authentic and a hidden gem! A definite five star on my list.

Super delicious! Don't miss the birria tacos! These are the best tacos I've ever eaten. The burritos are amazing too.

These guys are the one! Everyday they have specials that are fire. I came in today for the shrimp and fish tacos that are only $2.50 on Wednesdays. The el chingon is my fave though! Gotta try this spot!! read more

Okay how have I failed to write a review for Santo Taco when we live right down the street and frequent this place pretty regularly? I started coming here around 2019, 2020ish. My husband and I then moved to the area around 2021. It's so easy to get to from where we live, so we come here pretty regularly. I loved their lengua tacos (which are no longer on the menu) and their fish tacos. I have also gotten their birria tacos as well. My husband tends to get their nachos as his go to. I enjoy the salsa bar and tend to smother my tacos in the chipotle salsa. The staff is always nice and the service is pretty quick, considering how consistently busy they are. It does get pretty packed at times, but their dining area accommodates customers pretty well. read more

Santo Taco - Fish taco - Mexican Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I'm really surprised with the high stars in the reviews. I'm convinced there is no where in Salt Lake with decent, authentic Mexican food. Everywhere people have recommended to me has been awful, santo taco included. The Al Pastor taco had Zero flavor and was super dry. The carne asada had no seasoning at all. I guess for those who have never had authentic Mexican food this might be acceptable, but to me it was actually awful! I would not recommend this to anyone who is actually wanting real, authentic Mexican flavors. read more

We loved these Deanna F had the fish tacos and they lived up to the award winning hype The birria tacos with the consume were great My favorite thing about about this place was the salsa bar- awesome selection of fantastic salsas read more

I never knew this yummy little taco place existed! It was such a delightful surprise! The restaurant was a bit on the smaller side, but it was clean, nice-looking, and busy!! But if it's a Tuesday between the hours of one and two p.m. and the place is packed. I must take that as a good sign. They were also quick to get the food out! Yay. They have a big salsa and condiment cart... pickled onions, peppers, pico, raw onions and cilantro, cucumber and radishes, etc. I had a pork Chile Verde taco (top notch chile verde. It was NOT sour. So that's a plus.) and a Birria taco with a connsomme and a side of rice and beans. It was all so delicious and one of the best taco places I've had in Utah. I will go back!!!! read more

I really want to like this place, the food is good but the service has always dropped the ball. Almost all my past to go orders have had an item missing. After my last interaction I'm just over it. I ordered the birria burrito, but the bag did not have the cup of consommé. Not a big deal. I asked the girl behind the counter if one of the dozen cups sitting among the other to go orders was mine. She goes "let me see" glances at my receipt and goes "well it's a burrito so..". I tell her the birria burrito has always come with consommé and she rudely goes "you can get can grab one if you want then". Please train your employees on the menu or update it if it doesn't actually come with what you state. - "12" flour tortilla filled with rice, Monterrey jack cheese, and our house-made brisket birria with CONSOMMÉ, and pickled onions." No need to make a customer feel bad for asking for what they ordered. read more

The Taco's are really good. The Nacho's, not so much. I had the fish, carne asada and chorizo taco's and they were delicious. The nachos had watery cheese from a can that was worse than gas station cheese. The guacamole and pico was really good but the terrible cheese ruined it. Get the great taco's, stay away from the nacho's. read more

The carnitas were dry. The beans were burnt. There was an older Hispanic gentleman that was picking his nose. So I would not recommend going here. 40 dollars were not worth it. read more

Fantastic spot for fish tacos, the other tacos are just alright but this place offers a great value and complimentary water with fresh cucumber which is a nice touch. Service is quick and the atmosphere is casual. read more

The service was awesome.The cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable and made recommendations. For Taco Tuesday had the tacos de Birria, it was the best i've had in a long time. They offer all different types of salsas along with condiments to top your tacos. read more

Really good food ! Went to yelp for recommendations for tacos and they did not disappoint. Thankfully they are open on Sundays! Our family got a carne asada burrito, birria tacos, birria quesadilla, and chicken quesadilla. They had a salsa bar and most were amazing. All were *chefs kiss*. Apparently to this place has been on Food Network, the Guy Fierri show. It's an assuming hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere in Salt Lake City. It's super out of the way but worth it! My only notes personally were the consome for the birria wasn't super flavorful. The salsa bar wasn't labeled but we just tried everything. Also one of the workers spoke to me like I was an idiot when I asked her a couple things but that doesn't reflect on the food so I won't change my score because of her. Rice and beans were just okay but the beans are super authentic and reminded me of grandmas so that was kind of awesome. Would come back and recommend to others. read more

I was in the SLC area for 4 days recently and we gave this place a try for lunch. Food was prepared quickly, decent prices, and great quality tasty food. I loved that they had a serve yourself salsa/hot condiment bar. I tried the birria and carnitas tacos - both delicious. My hubs had a cheese quesadilla with beans and rice. We shared some guac and chips. We will be back here the next time we are in SLC. read more

Santo Taco - Al Pastor, Asada and Birria - Mexican Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I was traveling to Salt Lake City and across the street was this taco place from my Airbnb. I checked out the reviews and noticed the traffic of people. The inside is well lit, plenty of high top chairs, self serve drinks and a condiment bar with salsas. I ordered the Chorizo Quesadilla which came with Rice and Beans. Chorizo is my favorite so this was bomb dot com. Rice and Beans were fine, needed more seasoning. Also I checked out their Birria tacos with the consume for dipping. Really tasty. Each bite the cheese would string out of the taco. The consume was heavy beef flavor (which it should) and a nice addition to the taco. Glad I checked it out and would return again if in the area. read more

Update: My refund was initiated.. Raise the start leavel to three for for experience. But I'm not sure who forced the refund. Them or my bank. But either way.... I ordered food last Thursday night for delivery. They charged me and took the money, then used a third-party service to deliver. The order status kept changing -- first it was late, then on time, then late again -- and eventually it was canceled. Guess who didn't get their money back? I waited to make sure the charge cleared my bank before calling. I contacted my bank to start a dispute. On Monday, I called the restaurant -- they hung up on me the first time. When I called back, someone claiming to be the manager said they'd speak to the owner and call me back. I'm still waiting. I will never eat from them again. I'll be calling my bank to let them know what I've experienced. According to my bank, I'm required to try resolving it first, and I have -- but they're taking too long to respond. It's been almost a week. I will be posting this on every platform I can and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Archived the text message of the canceled order to show BBB. This sound like something they may do often. Take your oder then cancel and take your money. Update: My refund was initiated.. Raise the start leavel to three for for experience. But I'm not sure who forced the refund. Them or my bank. But either way.... read more

Excellent service! Great food! Awesome ambience. Only problem was I brought my 93 year old grandma and the one table that didn't have stools was taken. I can tell a lot of love and care goes into this taqueria. We'll definitely be back! read more

As soon as we entered the restaurant, we thought the decor and music was very cute. The music wasn't loud or obnoxious. We got the 5 taco and a drink combo for 17 dollars, and a birria quesadilla for 16 dollars. The food was slightly unpar and the birria felt over cooked, and everything felt under seasoned. Nothing about this was a show stopper. That being said, it was relatively cheap and filling. read more

If I ever return to Salt Lake City, I'll definitely pop into Santo Taco for a quick lunch. Three birria tacos and a drink for 10?! Awesome deal- that's even cheaper on Saturday's when it's 7! The birria tacos were generously portioned and I loved the salsa bar; there were so many options. Drink options were also extensive and included four agua frescas to pick from! Sorry no pictures... I was hungry and I forgot. read more

Fantastic tacos! Highly recommend! Such a fantastic variety that it is honestly hard to choose.

Decided to try Santo taco for a birthday treat. We ordered the Pollo Taco, Cactus & Zucchini Tacos, and Carnitas Nachos. The pollo was good, but slightly dry for my liking, however I really enjoyed the carnitas. They also have a nice salsa bar that has a variety of salsas, onions, and cucumbers, which j tray liked. Their Al Pastor tacos were the taco of the day and although I didn't try them I did purchase a dozen and took them to my husbands work, where they were promptly devoured. Overall I would return to Santa Taco and try something different. read more

I've been following this restaurant on Instagram for many months and every day I've seen their posts about their mouthwatering food. Finally, today was the day. Today I made a long time dream come true. Today my friends, I had birria tacos from Santos Taco! They were everything I had hoped and dreamed for! I rode that train of deliciousness like there was no tomorrow. I tried to savor every bite, but my tastebuds and stomach thought we were in the NASCAR Cup series. Before I knew it, my birria tacos were gone! I WILL be back and I WILL learn how to say "birria" correctly. Thank goodness the really nice employee at the register knew what I meant. Thank you for rocking my tastebuds! read more

Location: in Salt lake not on the Main Street. There's parking available in front of restaurant. They have a good amount of seating in their seating area. They have high chairs. The tacos were so good! The flavors burst in your mouth and the cheese comes through on top of all the flavors. We ordered quite a few items and loved everything. I also got dessert a churro which I not pictured because of obvious reasons (smiles) I ate it faster than I can post. Overall - 10 out of 10 This place is a must if your craving tacos! My favorite taco was the fish tacos YUM! read more

We were driving through SL decided to randomly try this since they had a special on nachos. The interior was clean and the service was very quick. The carnitas were very tender and flavorful and they LOAD the nachos with toppings. They also have a salsa bar which has a bunch of tasty salsas, pico, and avocado salsa. With the deal, the nachos were 10$ which may seem expensive, but I was totally fine paying that amount as they are very generous with the amount of food provided, and it is DELICIOUS. Be sure to check out the other daily deals they have! I would eat here again. read more

Santo Tacos is a special place, the atmosphere and food is amazing. Today, while ordering, I asked about the vegetarian options (it's been too long since I've been there), instead of getting an explanation, I was promptly offered samples of the cactus and zucchini tacos, both were amazing!! Thank you, to Johnny and his team, for the fantastic service!! And the flan is delicious if considering dessert. read more

I have been on a mission the find the best Birria Taco in the valley and I really like Santo's. The only bad side is you have to order 3 to get the dipping side. In addition to the birria, I also REALLY love the Al Pastor with the fresh pineapple. The flavors are bright, strong, and fresh. The shrimp taco (governator) is my favorite shrimp taco that I have partaken of in a land locked state. They sear a little cheese onto the inside that is delightful. read more

The worst burrito I have ever eaten! Of course after one bite I threw it in the trash. Tortilla was not cooked, filling was disgusting. I will say the only reason I ordered it was because I've eaten their tacos and they are delicious. I won't ever be ordering a burr from there again. read more
