Carnitas y Taqueria Los Alvarado — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

This place has very good Mexican food, their tacos are the bomb! if you planing to eat tacos @ these location order one 1st to see how many more you can eat because their tacos are huge! the Tortillas are hand made and the meat portion is very generous best of all you put the condiments that you want on your taco! beware of their salsas because they are the real deal so if you have a wuss palate you won't be able to eat your food & will cry demanding warm milk/blanket & a binky while you confess your disappointment to your mommy, this place is as authentic Mexican cuisine as you can get though they don't sell Aguas Frescas only bottled Mexican drinks or soda fountain beverages. As any Mexican restaurant their ambience music is traditional Mexican style & is kind of loud so if you don't like their music bring your earplugs/good quality noice canceling headphones or order 2 go! restrooms are somehow decent but don't expect a 5 star quality here, same with tables.

I will go back to try the carnitas as I was too full to try them.. maybe a off day.. but I always go back a few times to just make sure if it was or wasn’t good

The service was amazing though very nice people and...

You know the food is good when there's no website, no professional food photos, and everything is served on styrofoam plates. This mom and pop style taqueria has friendly staff, amazing food, gigantic portions, and a decent amount of room for indoor seating (roughly 20 seats). The wait during a busier lunch rush was no longer than 10 minutes.

I got the mole burrito and a Mexican coke. Flavorful, delicious, and I was able to pick my own internal burrito ingredients. My group said everything they ordered was really good. Will...
