Cocina Familiar Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in West Valley City

I’ve never left a Google review in my entire life, but the food here was absolutely phenomenal that I had to leave one for the world to know.

This place is so slept on!! I don’t know how it doesn’t have more reviews.

If you’re looking for REAL authentic Mexican food whose staple items aren’t just their burritos and/or tacos (although very delicious and amazing), then you have to check this place out.

Their horchata taste like it was made with real cinnamon sticks, not the cinnamon seasoning, and their gorditas are a popular menu item for a reason.. everything taste FRESH and HOMEMADE.

Tables and chairs fill the area in front of the stalls, and there's a stage for a band or performers as well. I'm guessing it's a happening place on...

Anyone who is looking for authentic Mexican food in Utah needs to come here. Yes I live in a border town so I know what I am talking about. I recommend the tacos birria. They are made really well here but the star is the consume that is served with it. It is really flavorful compared to other restaurants I have tried even in South Texas. The mole poblano was also pretty tasty. My wife thinks about this place every once in a while and will come here every time we are in town. Also note that the restaurant is inside the Azteca Indoor Bazaar swap meet all the way in the back near other...
