Los Venados Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Sandy

Great place for authentic Mexican food! Stumbled upon this place and I’m glad I did. The restaurant was very clean and decorated with great attention to detail. The theme of “venados” (deer) is seen from the power outlet covers to the stylish neon sign. The interaction with staff was warm, kind and welcoming. The menu holds a variety of traditional Mexican dishes that are made from scratch. The salsa bar has many different salsas that are well labeled including descriptions of spice level. Our food came out relatively quickly, considering the amount of people that was ordering, they were very busy. My wife enjoyed her seafood soup that was fresh made with the biggest prawns I had ever seen. I enjoyed asada, lengua and tripa tostadas that were packed with tender meat and refreshing toppings. My daughter enjoyed a beautifully dressed chicken tamal. The drinks were the cherry on top. The horchata was clearly handmade, not made from powder, and the Mexican bottled squirt took me back to a long ago visit I had made to Guadalajara. Over all, whenever I am in the area this is the Mexican restaurant I will...

Friendly staff, very good food and awesome variety. It would be 5 stars but based on what happened to us on our visit, it almost fell to 3 stars. On Saturday 07/26, we stopped by to eat. Ordered chimichangas and a kids quesadilla. Out order took quite a while to get done and in the meantime, they ran out of rice. Nobody told us anything but we heard them talking to other customers. In the end, our plates all came without rice and nobody said anything. When we asked why, they just said they ran out. First, I feel that to run out of a main ingredient on Saturday at 6:30pm is a bit of lack of planning. Second, if that happens and you have orders taken, the least that could be done is to offer something else to make up for it. Maybe some chips, maybe some sour cream, maybe something else. Anyways, food was good, well seasoned, good portions. They just need to work on problem...

Delicious!!!! I went back for another try and it was excellente! Still Spendy but I Guess worth it. Scared to try a chili relleno again but maybe at some point. Great staff!

Very expensive!!! Very Americanized Mexican food, made especially for gringos who don’t know the real thing. Mole enchiladas were terrible, tasteless and unauthentic. Chili relleno was greasy, unappetizing and bland. Beans and rice and guacamole were good. Chicken taquitos were made with flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas, hardly any pico de gallo or guacamole, did not look like the photos. WHY are NO prices listed on their take out menu????? Not sure if I’ll be back, I may if I’m desperate. Staff was friendly and place is clean. But prices are ridiculous for...
