It had been a couple years since I have had TDR due to moving out of state. However, I visited today and it seems like it isn't quite the same. I think the oversized glob of pinto/refried beans and less meat are the most noticeable difference since last time I had it. It was pretty dry even with sour cream, salsa fresca, and hot salsa. Still 6/10

I am a fan of cabeza tacos, and these were not nearly as good as others I have tried elsewhere. The asada tacos were alright, but they put some weird seasoning that almost tasted like that taco seasoning mix you can buy at any supermarket. So, I'll go again sometime, but for now I am unimpressed.

Amazing! Great prices and great food! My husband and I ordered a bunch of tacos to start and ended up going up for another round of tacos and a quesadilla because it was so good. Everything was delicious but the star was the barbacoa!

Delicious street tacos. Just like you're in Mexico itself. I will definitely visit again.

Meat cooked well, tacos priced okay. Red and green sauce both had nice flavors, and they had more toppings than we're used to. Radishes, cucumbers, and fajita veggies. Very tasty!

Best street tacos. Seriously. The cart is pretty nondescript, but the food is awesome and the price can’t be beat! Highly recommend coming by. They are friendly and get the tacos out to you quick.

Not everything’s about customer service. Sometimes it’s just about feeding the people, eating good, and survival. People used to think my mom was mean/rude in the business because of language barriers. No matter how much she smiled, just because she didn’t understand everything being told to her and didn’t respond in ways some expected her to doesn’t mean she had rude intentions. Consider that next time you stop by a taqueria or elotero cart. We literally live in one of the MOST diverse countries in the world. There are languages and people of all kind all around us. Anywho- when my family from AZ and CA came to visit, we stopped here for dinner a few times and left with happy hearts and bellies. Some of the best street food in SLC hands down.

Best street taco kiosk in SLC. Best red sauce east of Tacos De Mexico, Santa Maria CA; only ask for it if you can handle hot sauce.

Best tacos in Salt Lake City.I go there several times a week after work and never get tired of it. If I could give 6 starts, I would.

The best taco stand in SLC. Always clean and fresh, and their food always digests well (if you get my drift). Favorites are the carne asada and the chicken mole. Only issue is consistency; some days the food tastes better than others. But they still deserve five stars for good, clean, and affordable food.
