Don Daniel's Mexican Grill & Cantina — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

Food is DELICIOUS. One of the most authentic places in the entire valley. They have a great salsa bar, very hot and authentic. The only complaint I have about the food is the flour tortillas are not good. They are totally store bought. For such a highly rated restaurant, I’d expect them to at least look a little bit more authentic.

The reason I’m giving them 3 stars is because of the service. The low reviews that state service is bad and orders are delivered wrong are totally correct. Sure, employees are nice but that doesn’t cut it. Our server didn’t come back once to refill our waters. We asked for a chicken enchilada, got asada. When we told our server our enchilada was wrong she brought back what looked like diced square meat that she swore was chicken but DEFINITELY did not taste like chicken.

Overall okay experience. Food was AMAZING, so if you don’t mind mediocre service this is the place to come for some real great Mexican food with a variety of hot...

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they would have music videos playing so you can just barely hear it over the louder speaker system playing what you'd expect at a cantina. A bit overwhelming at times. We had the burrito Diabla and the mixed fajitas. It's was alright. I will say the Al pastor in the burrito was good. However the sauce/seasoning was a bit meh for the fajitas. The drinks were different, in that they all came with a spicy/sweet/salty rimmed glass that was unique if nothing else. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again, but did not...

The “chicken” (if you could call it that) enchiladas was the worst I’ve ever had the “chicken” was diced up into tiny pieces that fell out of the enchilada every time I tried eating it and it didn’t taste like any chicken I’ve ever had. I was unable to tell what kind of meat it was. I was very disappointed because enchiladas are my favorite. And the Al Pastor (spicy pork) was anything but. No spice at all! It wasn’t spicy like it should be and the only reason I ate those tacos was because the enchiladas were so bad, and I was starving so I had to eat the tacos which were bad but not as bad as the enchiladas. Very disappointed this was my first and last time ordering here. I want...
