A great little cart towards towards the south end of the valley. Their carne asada is passable, but the Al Pastor truly shines. Top it with some limes, grilled onions, pico, and a little green sauce and you're good to go. Tacos are street-style (i.e. small), but they are piled high with meat. Plus, they're only $1 each, which is more than the downtown carts but still certainly reasonable. read more

We had Tacos El Pariente cater my wife's birthday party. They were prompt, friendly and the tacos were outstanding. Would highly recommend and would use them again to cater another event. read more

A taco cart tour on Cinco de Mayo brought us to this hidden little spot. I'd seen the carts in downtown Midvale, but had no idea this one was hiding back there behind the saloon. Did you even know there was such thing as a saloon still? I was wondering if any gun slinging cowboys would come out and join us. But, apparently that's not who frequents saloons anymore. The tacos were cute and just what I expected: some curious meat that you can dress up with a cooler full of toppings and sauces. I appreciated that each one was double tortilla-ed (yes I just made that into a verb), so I could divide the filling and double the fun. There is plenty of parking back there, and a grassy knoll, so you can hang out and eat, or just grab it and run. It probably won't be my first thought taco stop in the future, but I would take a friend for the experience for sure. read more

Good food. A little on the pricier side for a Taco cart but delicious none the less. Green salsa was pretty good too. Kids liked their food as well. read more

So this taco stand is in the parking lot of the bar I go to. First time I went there I asked for a simple thing, cheese on my tacos. At that time same person who was working today, who I'm complaining about, said they just didn't have cheese. So I went a few months later and honestly forgot they "didn't have cheese" but I ordered it and it appeared!! So today I'm waiting in line and it was pretty long. 20 mins go by and I hear her in Spanish say "F---in white boy" And I ask for tacos with cheese and she now says, cheese is only for burritos or something else... I offered to pay extra and she said nope, blatant racism on her part. I'm going to do my best to get her kicked out of this parking lot. It's not right I speak a little Spanish, and she obviously didn't know I understood her talking smack about me, I even ordered in Spanish out of respect. I'm reporting her to every agency I can. read more

Best buche tacos and burritos ever!!!! I go there pretty much every day just to get much addiction satisfied.

Great place with an interesting but convenient location for me, great food, fast service, and well priced. This little out of the way taco cart serves up consistently good food. I visited most recently on 1/11/16, a frigid day, about 1:00pm. The cart was fairly crowded at this time and the woman in the cart was busy preparing food. She was efficient, friendly with the customers, but clearly busy. I was served timely and asked for four asada tacos ($1.25 ea.). The food arrived promptly, each taco consisting of two soft and warmed, white corn tortillas with a generous helping of meat piled on top. The meat was seasoned well and flavorful. Condiments were plentiful and the salsas great. I've previously enjoyed chicharones (spicy pork rinds) and chorizo and will be looking forward to trying the Cabeza next time. I didn't see tacos al pastor on the menu as another reviewer claimed so I either didn't look hard enough or it wasn't available today. It's a taco cart, so seating is nonexistent except for some planters. The area was clean. Parking plentiful. I'll be back! read more

Pretty good place, off the beaten path and one of the carts you have to know how to find to get to it. It's behind 3 Alarm Saloon, on a side road (god bless whomever landed that spot at a bar). It's pretty standard, like most of the other cars around. I hadn't had any trouble with English, as the cooks speak enough to know or are conversational. The meats are good, not too grisly, some fats, and a good amount of seasonings. I like the carne asada and the chicharron. The chicharron there doesn't taste like it's be rehydrated like some of the other stands, but like genuine pork belly fat and skin. The offer the usual side toppings, onions, grilled onions, peppers, pico de gallo, salsa. They double up their little tacos with the tortillas, but I just pull the bottom one off. I'd say hit this place up if you're driving down state off Fort Union. cash only as expected. read more

Burritos are $7 and are bigger than chipotles burritos. Carve asada was good. But not good as a late night snack as the food is quite heavy. Spanish only and cash only. And if it's late night, try to be drunk for this food. You're body will thank you for it later read more

This joint is super good. Solid street tacos for a buck ($1) and burritos for $6. Pork (carnitas) is by far my favorite, seasoned well, shredded and delicious. The spicy pork is tasty, in little chunks like the carne asada, seasoned to a delightfully spicy red color. The steak (carne asada) is very good, small chunks seasoned and ready to go. The chicken is also seasoned and has peppers (maybe onions too) mixed in with it. Tender and tasty. They have a full condiment bar with onion and cilantro mixed with tomatoes, chopped cabbage, grilled jalapeños, radishes, cut limes, mild red salsa, spicy red salsa, green salsa and guacamole in s bottle!! All the extras are free, fresh and delicious. They also have a cooler with canned sodas and small bottled water. $1 each. read more

I've been to their taco cart 4 times. The food has been good every time. Once I went in the evening and the two guys there didn't speak English and seemed angry at me for being there even though I was friendly to them and gave a tip in the jar before getting my food. Very disappointed at that because the stand is close and I was going to make that my go to taco place. I don't care about them not speaking English at all. Just want to be treated decent. read more

Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos are amazing!! Really everything is great. $1.25 each, anyone could easily eat 2--they're small. There are also burritos, quesadillas, tostadas, etc. We will definitely be coming back here! We had no problems communicating, the lady's english was good. read more

This is my favorite taco stand. It is right around the corner and open most of the time. It has all of the expected options for a taco stand and the food is always delicious. It is the most consistent taco stand that I have been to in Utah. There is plenty of parking in the nearby bar and on the street. They also have a taco stand right off of 7200 S closer to Trax. Make sure to check it out even for a late night snack. read more

Tacos weren't very good. Nothing special. Lady that was there was rude. Better off looking somewhere else.

I had a Lengua Torta and it was FANTASTIC! If you see this food truck when you are driving, make a u turn and get some great food. Its a hidden gem for sure. Definitely will be stopping there more often. read more

Buche & Carne Asada tacos are my favorite & she never disappoints. However, I her burrito made me terribly sick once & my sister & friend as well. I'll be sticking to tacos. read more

These tacos are very delicious, I could use a little more seasoning or at least salt in my but it's ok. Salsa wise, they just skip right to the heat and don't let you level up lol eaters beware. They have the usual cuts of meat and nothing like tripe, lengua or sesos. Very good however. It's CASH ONLY!!! So make sure you're aware. read more

Not good...first she dropped my torta so we had to wait for another which was fine but when we got home it was super soggy I asked for no cheese which she couldn't understand cause she spoke no English it was super salty and the chicken tasted and smelt bad so I only had like three bites it was awful read more

This is a little taco cart that used to be parked in front of the 3 alarm then it was hidden on the side for while now they have it in the parking lot behind the saloon. The only thing I've ever eaten here are the Cabeza tacos (probably 30 of them over the last 6 months) and I'm hooked. I've never had cabeza like this before it's stewed and pulled. It looks almost like wet pulled pork. She charges dollar a piece and it's the tiny tortillas but they are piled with meat. read more

Excellent Street Tacos. Everything you want, and more flavors than quite a few other taco carts in slc. My favorite is the Asada and Al Pastor, but I haven't eaten anything there that's not delicious. read more

This place consistently makes the best tacos I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Only 1.25 per taco, and for some reason it tastes amazing compared to similar establishments. I exclusively eat the carne asada and carnitas tacos. I load them up with cabbage, pico, grilled onions, lime, and the thicker green sauce and I'm super happy. **located in the parking lot of sportsmans warehouse** read more

Great taco cart, friendly, clean, inexpensive, many meat choices, toppings are the bomb, also, burritos & torta's are on the menu. Taco cart is located behind the saloon on the east side of State street. Open on Sunday!! Bring CASH, does not accept cards. Give this place a try! read more

The lady was very weird & acting strange like if she was drunk or something. I was being very polite & nice with a smile the whole time. I asked for several varieties of tacos but she didn't give me anything that I asked for, she just gave me all one meat when I asked for 7 different types of meats/tacos. When I asked several other people, this had also happened to them so it's not an isolated incident. She seemed more interested in talking to her friend. I spoke Spanish so it wasn't a communication thing. When I called the department of health about this stand they said they've had several complaints about food illnesses & food handling violations & the better business bureau is also conducting an investigation on them. Although I didn't get sick I still don't recommend. read more

Loved it! Ordered three tacos carnitas and a drink for $5! It was so good, I went back for three more tacos asada! Extremely good food from a street cart!! read more

Had their food at a party and the only thing that comes close to having flavor is their asada tacos. It was a catering event, not to impressed with food, but it's ok for a quick bite. read more

My taco stand. I eat here 2-3 times a week. Friendly, cheap, delicious and their cooler is always stocked fresh.

Used to be my favorite taco stand, now it is subpar. Last couple times I've been there I've received an unusually small amount of meat that was extremely over cooked. My heart is kinda broken. :( read more

We hired Tacos El Pariente to feed 200 wedding guests at a backyard party and they did a great job. They showed up about 2 hours early to set up, had no problem keeping up with the number of guests, and everyone loved the food. The cart was on a trailer and they were willing to back the trailer onto the lawn on our side yard. The tacos are delicious, especially the carnitas! read more

We absolutely love El Pariente's food. Generous portions of wonderful fillers and an attractive assortment of condiments - one especially terrific hot sauce (apparently home made) that adds a zing to an excellent meal. We usually buy two each - one for immediate enjoyment and one for later. read more

Great food, but it can be a little crowded if you go at the wrong time. My only complaint about their food is that the meat could be a little more lean. Great sides! read more

$6 DOLLARS FOR A BURRITO! What a joke! This is a taco cart not a fine-dining experience. You can get the same burritos for $3 at "Beto" type diners. With that said the $1 taco with all the trimmings was a good deal. read more

Tacos were great I live in So Cal , this place is as good if not better than a LA taco carts

Cheap, delicious, fresh, authentic. Tip these awesome people for bringing their magical tacos into this world.

My new favorite street tacos! So worth the $1.25!!! Anyone who likes taco carts must try this place. I think I'll go back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. read more

Waited in line just to get denied my order because she didn't want to help me because I am was Caucasian. I wanted to order 12 street tacos and the lady said she couldn't help me. So as I was leaving the person ordered the exact same thing and she helped him with no problem. What she didn't know is that I speak Spanish and understood everything she said to him. So if your Caucasian and you want street tacos don't go to the one in the sportsman's warehouse parking lot because she is racist read more
