    (2) birria tacos with consume, (1) shrimp taco, (1) fish taco
    Georgieann M.

    I ordered (2) birria tacos with consume, (1) fish taco, and (1) shrimp taco. Everything was SO delicious! And since my last review, they took notes because I received an abundance of condiments! Red and green salsa, limes, and little cups of cilantro and onions! I was such a happy fat kid after this! The fish and shrimp tacos were beautiful and tasty. I will order again and again for sure!

    We stop here every time we fly into SLC and before we head to Park City. They have the best Birria hands down with the most delicious juice/consome broth to dip our tacos in, very flavorful. We also like their salsa bar offering a variety of salsas with many delicious options of mild to hot and roasted jalapeños were wonderful. Service is always outstanding, self serve beverage area, nicely decorated by a local artist. You can get your angel wings here, great photo op.

    Yikes! I had such high expectations and was sorely disappointed. The food was so greasy and sad. Birria had no consume (is it even birria then??) the pork verde taco was greasy, gray, soggy, and pathetic. The flavor was minimal. The salsa bar was empty and crusty. Not even worth a drunken visit. You're better off at the pie hole probably.

    BIRRIA QUESADILLA FISH TACO

    Food was amazing. We got the Birria quesadilla, but the one that's on the catering slide of the menu. So much food it was enough for two starving guys that love Mexican with leftovers. We also tried a fish taco since they are famous here supposedly... and they are pretty gas ngl. The fried filets here actually very large, messy to eat but delicious! Great spot, will definitely be returning in the future 100%.

    As you can see the tacos didn't make the pic. Sorry. But this place was good stop for a late night meal. We ordered the asada and pastor which are the best. The chicken was ok but wouldn't get it again. The place was busy since it was a Friday night. Pretty loud but nothing bad. They had our order ready pretty fast. Will be going back.

    Yummy! We ordered taco Al pastor, steak, birria, chile verde, and chicken, then a side of rice and beans. It was quick, fresh, and tasty. The only one we didnt live thoroughly was the chicken taco. Prices ranged from $2.50 to about $4. They have a condiment bar that was fresh and clean. It hadn't been sitting out all day. The people were friendly and helpful. The outside area is nasty, inside super clean. SLC CLEAN UP YOUR SIDEWALKS!

    When it comes to tacos I like to consider my self an expert as it's my culture I literally grew up on many of these and I have spent my adult life trying to find the best ones. These are some of the better ones I have had. These yellow tortilla was perfect just enough crisp but not so much that it is hard. These salsa was good not great but good enough. The steak was chewy could use some work. Their pastor was the highlight it was some of the better pastor I have had in Utah. The restaurant was empty for a weeknight but that comes as expected. The service was average nothing bad but nothing special. I think it's fair to give this place another try not bad!

    Santo Taco sits on the busy corner of State St and 400 S in Salt Lake City where there is energy all around. That energy continues through the doors of the bright and colorful party inside. You place your order on a tablet, but it is smooth and easy enough for the low tech diners. And if you need help, the staff are ready and willing. The tacos and rest of the menu is fantastic. We tried a variety from birria quesadillas, al pastor tacos, consommé, carne asada tacos, chorizo, and more. The burritos are plentiful and all the prices are reasonable. Come for some great grub and leave with a happy tummy and smile on your face.

    Cactus and birria
    Eff S.

    Cactus taco was good, just a really good non meat taco. Birria was on point! Any of the sauces was not hot at all.... But the cold jalapeños made up for it kinda.. prefer hot and grilled not grilled then chilled in the cart overall not a bad experience! But could be better

    Santo Taco is a quick and convenient taco stop! They are a service counter shop but also have a quick place your own order screen. The ambiance is busy and somewhat loud with music and people. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you're looking for something quiet, this is not your place. Service was fast & friendly! They also have a salsa & condiment bar! This was awesome to add my own flair! My friend loves the fish tacos & she also had a shrimp. I got the birria which was amazing. Greasier than I was expecting but I'll take that as its sauce was already in the filling.

    El Chingon taco
    Fonzy P.

    Ordered to go everything was packaged nicely, Birria taco was very flavorful and actually held together unlike some places where it falls apart. The Chingon and fish taco were a little better than just ok. Would definitely be back.

    I recently moved to SLC from SoCal and Matcha Café Kyoto came up in my online algorithm (probably…read morebc I have been checking out local sweets and dessert places). I thought it sounded yummy since I enjoy matcha and ube. So I checked it out today for a post-lunch dessert. I really enjoyed it and definitely plan on returning to try some of their other offerings. Today I ordered the matcha ube shaved ice and the cherry blossom latte (I had them make mine using coconut milk). I ate the shaved ice at the cafe and took the cherry blossom latte to go because I wanted to drink it later. They put it in a cute bag! Since it was my first visit there I wanted to try the ube and matcha separately, so for the shaved ice I ordered matcha shaved ice on the bottom, followed by the matcha soft serve and then the ube soft serve on top of that. Next time I order the shaved ice, I think I will most likely have the matcha shaved ice with the matcha/ube twist soft serve on top now that I know how each one tastes on their own. I also would do matcha shaved ice with just the ube soft serve on top. Or maybe ube shaved ice with matcha soft serve on top. The matcha was tasty, and like other reviewers have said, you can tell it's good quality matcha. I really enjoyed the ube, it was very yummy to me. I think for my next visit I'm going to try the ube parfait. The cherry blossom latte was good. I got the sweetened version (it was lightly sweetened not super sweet, which I liked). I didn't want something super sweet. It didn't/doesn't have matcha in it. That was fine with me because I wanted to save it for later and didn't want to have caffeine later in the day. I do think it would taste good with matcha in it though. Overall I enjoyed this cafe. I look forward to trying more items. As of right now the other things I want to try are the ube parfait, the shaved ice again, the warabimochi, the hojicha yuzu latte, and the strawberry matcha latte. If you like matcha and/or ube, I would definitely recommend checking out Matcha Café Kyoto. I know I will be again. Support a local business so that they are able to stay around for us to enjoy.

    I was finally in the area to try it out. I love matcha so I was excited! The place is small &…read morelimited seating but seems like most took their drinks to-go. The bathroom is hidden to the right of the store walking in. Just a warning, the further you go in the store, the more it smells like bathroom... When I first walked in, I wasn't greeted - which is fine, there were a handful of people inside. While ordering, I had asked what was popular and what the cashier suggests, and she said "matcha". I told her it was my first time but she didn't proceed with any recommendations. I decided to go with the ube matcha with oatmilk. She then asked if I'd like cream with it, I had asked if she suggested it and she responds with "well everyone gets it with creamer". Ok so I agreed to try it out. Why not cause everyone gets it with creamer right? I waited about 10 mins, which isn't bad considering the amount of people. She called my name and had 3 other drinks with her. I asked her if the one she was handing me was with oatmilk , and she says "well that's what you ordered right" I tried it and it wasn't oatmilk. I brought it up to her attention and she kinda just said "sorry" and that was all....unfortunately, I can't say it was the best service. If I decide to come back next time, I'll only get straight matcha instead of a latte just to try again. The matcha didn't have a strong taste to it. It was on the watery side. Perhaps I came on the wrong day a they were off with their orders. Who knows...

    If you're looking for pastries that are as stunning as they are delicious, Fillings & Emulsions…read moreabsolutely delivers. Their fruit-shaped creations are little works of art--so realistic it almost feels wrong to eat them... almost. Each pastry is fresh, light, and packed with flavor. The pistachio was incredibly tasty, though definitely on the richer side, so it's one you might want to savor slowly. The raspberry had a beautifully balanced sweetness with a vibrant, delicious filling. The lemon was very zingy--almost intensely so--but still delightful if you enjoy bold citrus flavors (just maybe not an entire one in a single sitting). The standout, though, was the mango. Easily the winner. It had such a bright, powerful flavor, and the fresh mango inside made every bite feel special. Everything about it--from taste to presentation--was just beautiful. The only slight letdown was the macarons. While still good, they didn't quite match the intensity and uniqueness of the pastries and felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you appreciate creative, high-quality desserts. It's clear a lot of skill and care goes into every piece. I loved the building that the pastry shop was in, as it had a "lunch room" feel to it. There are a few restaurants inside so there are options and there's plenty of seating.

    I'm the first to admit that I am influenced by social media. So when my fiancé and I just so…read morehappened to be in the area, we had to stop and get a little treat. The sweet cashier recommended Strawberry & Mango, so that's what we got. They were delicious! I think the mango was my personal favorite. The crunch of the chocolate coating was so satisfying and the fillings soft and gooey. It didn't feel artificial either! The location is in a food mall, which I wasn't expecting but it was so cute inside. I wish we had more time to check out the other vendors but we'll have to come back. On a separate note, it was kind of hard to find a trash can.
