The best authentic Mexican food in Salt Lake City.
Their can be a wait during busy hours but definitely worth the wait. I would suggest trying any of the Moles or Enchiladas, they have a free "Mole Sampler" if you want to try all their wonderful flavors.
Typical cost of a plate is $15-$23.

Our vote for the best burger in SLC.
The service can be slow at times because they get so busy and it's a small restaurant but all of their burgers and fry combinations are amazing. I would recommend any of their burgers, and if you're a garlic lover try the garlic fries. The bacon bloody Mary's are always a great drink too!

Best Vietnamese food, maybe even the best Oriental food available in Salt Lake.
Everything is at a great price ($5-6 for sandwiches and $6-7 for Pho) while still being so delicious. I would recommend the lemongrass tofu or spicy beef rib banh mi, and if you're really hungry a bowl of Pho to top it off.

If you're in the mood for Ramen, this is our suggestion. It's simple but effective and some of the best ramen I've ever eaten.

The atmosphere is funky and fun, and the food is fantasic. It's Mediterranean with a twist so very filling and delicious. I recommend trying the falafel or the street fries.

I couldn't believe this place is 100% vegan, so flavorful with so many options. Try any of the burritos and it will not disappoint.

Not only is this coffee shop a quick walk away, it's a terrific cup of coffee. It just opened, so their might not be many reviews online but I've always had a great experience.

Best beer menu in downtown, and the staff has always been so friendly. I personally enjoy the atmosphere as well, it has old pictures of downtown SLC along with other fun vintage beer signs.
