Tacos CDMX2 — Restaurant in American Fork

I went to this restaurant with my wife and family yesterday and decided to order some birria, asada, and Al pastor tacos. As I was enjoying my birria taco, I bit down on something hard and had to pull it out of my mouth. I thought it might just be a fluke, but then it happened again and this time, I accidentally swallowed it. It got stuck in my throat and made for an uncomfortable night. I even made an emergency dentist appointment for the next day worried that the splinter would hurt my throat if I wasn’t able to get it out soon. Luckily I was able to get it out. Turns out, it was a wood splinter and it seems like the cutting board they used to prepare the meat may be past its prime. Normally, I've really enjoyed their tacos - they're a good size and usually packed with flavor - but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Hoping they can take steps to avoid similar issues...

From someone who actually knows the difference between Tex Mex, CA Mexican food, and the tacos you'd get on the street in Mexico City...these are the best street tacos I've had in UT. Little pricier than Don Juaquin (a reliable option) but the quality of the meat here is significantly better.

The problem is that many people raised here in UT have unsophisticated palates and consequently don't know what well seasoned food is, so if you think black pepper is spicy, don't use the salsa. If you like mild, use the green. Their spicy salsa is quite hot, and their pickled onions had fresh habanero flecks for the truly bold.

I particularly love a good Al Pastor taco, and this is the first that I would come back for. Carne Asade is top notch. The carnitas I had was a tad dry though, good for a B in my...

It doesn't look like much from the outside as there's no curb appeal, but don't judge a book by its cover! Def looks like a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, but sometimes those are the best places that serve good quality, authentic food!

The chicken and al pastor tacos were as authentic as you're gonna get, whether in Utah or if you're in Mexico. This is the real deal folks! You can tell this is a family-owned business that takes pride in the quality of food they serve.

The inside needs a facelift and decor needs to be updated just a bit. However, I LOVE their salsa bar and the quality of the salsa and toppings to your street tacos are top-notch! The cashier was friendly and my food came out...
