    Whole in the wall taqueria, the food is so flipping good, is crazy. Go inside the building then you will see the taqueria inside the building. It's like a little mall once inside the building. We had El Pastor, absolutely delicious.

    Loved this place. I got there a couple hours passing lunch and sadly I got just the scraps of carnitas, but let me tell you, it was amazing. No the average carnitas taste, the real carnitas michoacanas with cuerito an salsa. Be sure to get early there to get your stuff. The aguas frescas are always the catch. Yummy but expensive. Clean, attentive and fair enough on prices $

    Wish it was open more hours so I could buy it more often. But definitely are the best carnitas I've had in utah. Lines are pit the door sometimes so you could be waiting a while at times. But worth the wait

    These are the best carnitas I've had in the Salt Lake Valley. They have the authentic taste of Michoacan with amazing flavor. There is usually a line out the door, and that's how you know the food is worth it. They also have fresh salsas, rice, beans, fresh made tortillas, and very delicious menudo. This place has limited seating, mostly a take out spot. The staff are friendly and quick in getting out the orders so you won't have to wait too long. Yes, it look bit like a whole in the wall but sometimes that is where you find the best food.
