This was our first time trying Top Taco. We really enjoyed it. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Service was friendly and very fast! We tried a few different tacos and sampled each sauce and all were quite good. We loved the sauce caddy system. All of them were delicious but the dark green salsa packs some serious heat. The tacos were quite good, if a tad small, and my SO was still hungry after 3 so we decided to order the Gringa too. This was a standout and probably what we will order from now on. Their cheesecakes also look amazing and we hope to try them next time. read more

Their al pastor tacos are some of the best in Utah, and pretty comparable to ones you'd eat in Mexico. The carne asada fries were a huge let down. If you like carne asada fries the way they're served in CA I would skip them here. read more

Top Taco - Tacos Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Didn't expect to find good tacos in Utah. These are better than expected coming from California. Ordered 1 asada and 1 pastor . Pastor was definitely better. Came off the trompo sliced perfectly. Kinda stingy with the Pineapple tho. The asada was okay. Nothing crazy. I can tell it was cooked on a plancha not over fire 'My issue was the tortillas . Store bought and very grainy. Rough to eat. Salsa they gave me were all great! Overpriced tacos $3.50 and there wasn't a lot of meat Cool little spot: you order at the register and food came out quick read more

I was really excited to try this place since it's super close to me, has great reviews, and honestly, who doesn't love a good street taco? I ordered two chicken tacos with cheese and guac as add-ons. They were tasty, but each taco came out to around $5, which feels a bit pricey for street tacos, especially since they're on the smaller side. They do offer a nice variety of sauces though, which I appreciated. The inside has a good amount of seating, and it was pretty busy when we stopped by for lunch. Service was quick, and the ambience is what you'd expect from a casual Mexican spot. Overall, solid tacos, just slightly on the expensive side for what you get. read more

After a fun night at the Museum of Illusions for a Yelp event, Top Taco catered and it was so good! After the event I stopped for seconds and got more tacos and they were just as tasty. There is parking behind the building as the front of the building has limited spaces. Staff here were super friendly and gave us a an extra free Taco. There salsa are also super delicious. Im a sucker for a hot green salsa. Lastly, you must try the Jamaica Agua fresco, oh so good and just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be back! read more

I ordered several things to try out: loaded nachos, loaded fries, al pastor and carne asada tacos and a torta. The tacos were ok, I didn't enjoy the taste I've had better but the torta made up for it. It was very delicious, id only go back for a torta. I did half carne asada and half al pastor on my sandwich and it comes with a side of fries. The loaded nachos and loaded fries do come with guacamole which tasted very good. Friendly service! read more

This was our first time visiting this location. When we ordered at the counter, they gave us a hot sauce caddy with 3 options for hot sauce and told us to sit wherever we wanted and they would bring out our food. Unfortunately, as we sampled the hot sauces, I found that all of them were a bit too spicy for my palate. It would be helpful if they also offered a more mild alternative for us wimpy eaters. They have four types of meat to choose from for their tacos. The choices were Al Pastor, Asada, Chicken, and Chorizo. My husband and I chose to each get Al Pastor and Asada tacos. You can get onion and cilantro toppings for the tacos, but unfortunately I asked for no onions and they didn't give me the cilantro either and my husband's taco didn't have the pineapple. The tacos come with 2 street sized corn tortillas per taco with the meat and some pineapple slices on the Al Pastor tacos. The portions seemed to be on the smaller side and we wished I'd ordered at least one or two more tacos since we were still hungry when we left. The Asada taco was pretty simple with just chopped meat on the corn tortillas. It was good to have the hot sauce to add to this taco to keep it from being too dry. The Al Pastor was my favorite. The meat was juicy, tender and flavorful. The pineapple was a good bonus pairing with the meat also. There was no need to add hot sauce unless you really need more heat. They offered a variety of bottled and canned drinks as well. We chose to get 2 cans of soda, but these are a pricy. Bottled water is the best value if you just need something to wash down your meal. Better yet, if they had a soda fountain, it may be more affordable for the customer and the owner. The men's and women's restrooms were located in the back near the back entrance and the doors are locked. The staff must come and unlock the door for you to use them. Based on the neighborhood, I can understand why the locks may be necessary, but it will likely be a problem when they are busy and they may need a dedicated employee to police these restrooms during those times so customers don't have to wait too long. Lastly, the order counter is fairly tall. The the credit card machine is mounted on the top of the counter, and I had to stand on my tip toes to see the screen in order to pay. Next time I come, I will most definitely get more of the Al Pastor offerings. They really did a great job with this meat preparation. read more

Minimal offerings and crowded location with no outdoor seating available (at the time of visiting). The staff were overall friendly and the food quality was acceptable for the price. read more

First impression is everything ...great hospitality, tidy clean restaurant and scent of the vertical rotisserie (trompo) was making me hungry. Not fluent in Mexican cuisine... I noticed the Aguas Frescas when I first enter. Staff explained the 3 type they had... hibiscus, tamarin and horchata (rice). I was most interested in the.white drink (horchata) he let me sample. Yum! The Taco al Pastor was delicious! The marinated spiced chicken, traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie style and served with pineapple, onion, lime and cilantro was a perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and the tart pineapple... perfect! Also three types of salsa for topping. Overall, thank you TOP TACO for the excellent hospitality and amazing food! Definitely a FAN read more

Went back to top taco for a third time in 3 weeks, I am a huge fan of not only the owner and the family who runs this but their A CLASS tacos, seriously the best Al pastor tacos I've had since leaving California! They're in house salsas?! Insane! read more

Some of the best tacos Al pastor I've ever eaten. I want to fly back to Utah just to eat here again. Friendly staff, but very busy on a Saturday night. People know the food is good here. I loved everything I ate here. Totally a must go to place! Cute and clean decor. read more

A quick summary: This place is good, they got awesome red sauce for those who like some spice on their tacos. Though I will say this place is not cheap, you'll be down about $3.50 a taco, and each topping is another $1 on top per taco. Good but you may have better luck at a local taco cart. More in depth: Honestly I didn't plan on coming here, but tacos sounded good and I was across the street so I decided to stop by. The inside was nice, everything was clean and had an environment where you could talk for hours. The people up front were really nice, and even after I sat down they kept coming to check on us to make sure we were okay. It was a really cool gesture and I felt like this place had its customer service down. The tacos themselves were good, they only had the options for al pastor and asada. These ran you $3.50 a pop, with each topping after that being another $1(cheese, guac, and any other topping). But they were pretty good, the tortillas were perfect and the meet was good, my favorite part was their red sauce, it was both flavorful and spicy. All in all I'd say this place was good, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to come here, but you could find something cheaper somewhere else with nearly as good of quality 3.5/5 read more

First time coming here. Place is extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. There is no parking in the front usually so be sure to go around back. You are given a caddy with sauces after ordering. We ended up taking ours to go but they gave us a good amount of sauces to take home. We got the loaded fries which were good! I liked that they offered TWO proteins to choose from. We got asada and pastor. I do wish that the fries were more crispy but it was still good. There was a good amount of toppings such as gauc, sour cream, pico de gallo, jalapeños and nacho cheese. It was packed with meat as well. We got asada and pastor tacos too. Asada tasted a little bland to me so I wasn't too big of a fan. I did enjoy the pastor tacos though. I liked that they give you pineapple with the pastor because some places do not. Overall it was a great experience. From the service to the food! Good place for tacos downtown area! read more

I tried the carne asada taco and the Al pastor taco. Both were fantastic! They filled the tacos really full, they didn't skimp on the meat or anything. I also got a horchata to try and it was really good. Wish it had a little more cinnamon in it but it was still good. I ordered some fries for my 2 year old and she loved them. Their fries were really good. The service was quick. The parking lot was pretty small though. read more

I stopped in at the restaurant on a Monday night. It was fairly busy and there is limited seating inside. I was able to try two tacos and a Horchata from top taco. The Horchata was very flavorful and actually had more of a corn flavor which I thought was delicious! The tacos I received were made fresh off the grill. The tortilla was wrapped in was moist and just made it was delicious!! the tacos came with three different sauces to try. I think this will be my new taco place! read more

I love al pastor tacos and from the reviews I was excited to eat some delicious tacos but left disappointed and still hungry. I ordered 3 al pastor and 1 carne asada tacos and added guac to one of the al pastor tacos. First, they are small. Like 3 bites and they're gone. Second, the meat was thin and dry. The word confetti crossed my mind. Third, they are expensive for what you get. The guac was good but in a small taco that's all I tasted. The salsas were ok but I was hoping at least one would be really hot. To be fair, I do have a high tolerance for heat. Not sure what the hype is about but maybe I went on an off day. Or they have good PR. The staff was nice though. read more

Friendly and quick service! This place was very clean and there is plenty of parking in the back. The Al pastor tacos were solid and I enjoyed the salsas they had. The loaded fries were good but I think I was expecting more of "carne asada fries" with real shredded cheese (they used something similar to nacho cheese) and more meat. read more

Quick to place my order and it did not take long to receive either. Service was great and they were nice and friendly. There is parking so you do not have to park in the street. Menu was not too overwhelming and plenty of seating but I think it gets busy after 5 pm. Decor was simple but nice and the place was clean. They have cute little caddy's that have their salsa in it. They don't serve fountain drinks though. They have some specials on certain days. The loaded fries YUM!!! El pastor tacos YUM!!!!! All in all way a nice place to try. read more

Went back today and had the Pastor Burrito. The burritos are filled then pressed/grilled and cut in half. The benefit of this is that it holds it all together making it easy to handle/eat. Again the meat was very flavorful but a little skimpy on the amount. It was 2/3 veggies and maybe1/3 pastor. Certainly not a dealbreaker but $17 with a drink I would like a bit more meat. Again I love this place and will be back. read more

Delish! This place is so yummy! I call this restaurant my favorite Mexican food! The pork is amazing so fresh and generous portions.

Came here after skiing and boy am I glad we did. As someone who's spent near a decade in San Diego I can honestly say the burritos here are even better. They are packed, and full of flavor. My fiancé always gives me a hard time for not wanting Mexican (we're in Florida currently) and now she understands why I've been so picky. I knew we were in the right spot when on the way in a family was leaving praising how delicious the food was. On top of that - the staff at the front were incredibly welcoming, patient, and helpful, which made the experience even better. Really warm chill vibes with incredible Mexican food! read more

As a former southern Californian, I can confidently tell you that these tacos are the best in Utah and some of the best I've ever had! It's Al Pastor and Carne Asada as God intended.

Looking to scratch that street taco itch but don't quite know where to go in SLC? This is your place. Owner was very friendly and welcoming and the service was excellent. Now onto the food: Had chips and guac - both chips and guac were made in house and fresh and delicious. Sampled the Al Pastor, Asada and Chicken. Al Pastor was the star of the show with Asada a close second and Chicken a reasonable third. Three different salsas: A milder Green that was tomatillo based, a hotter green that I believe was either jalapeno or serrano based and a Red that was chile del arbol. The green salsas worked really well on the Al Pastor and Asada. Didn't try the arbol because I don't love pairing that salsa with tacos. These are the best tacos in SLC. Come in and see. read more

We got the carne asada fries, al pastor tacos, and agua de tamarindo. The fries were good, pretty average, but I liked that they serve with jalapeños on top. Yummy agua fresca! Hopefully, we can try horchata next time but the tamarindo was good. Really enjoyed their al pastor, so that's what we'd get from here again. Salsas had a good smokiness to them. read more
