Reviews

Great Mexican food. Service was excellent. Atmosphere very relaxed and casual. Fish tacos were very fresh. The flavors on everything was just fabulous. The mole was amazing just as good as if you were in Oaxaca. Very popular place and well worth the wait. I made reservation on Resy and had no wait. Our waiter Rodrigo was very friendly , helpful and just a great guy. If visiting SLC strongly recommend if you have a craving for good Mexican food.

We've been coming here for as long as I can remember. Really have not had anything I didn't like. Make sure you ask for the Mole sampler so you can taste all the wonderful different moles and help you decide which dish to order. We each try to get something different and then share.

Came here between travel stops and it was so good. Our server was kind, attentive, and gave us honest advice on dishes and portion sizes we should try. If we ever make our way this direction again, we'll definitely come back!
