11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Sandy

“I love this place. Warm salsa is amazing! Super friendly and the food is great. I have super picky Mexican food eating friends and they loved this place too. Mariachi band on Tuesdays can be fun and remember it’s ok to say no to them if you’re not in the mood. The food does take some time, but the quality is worth it!!“

“This restaurant is the best! The food is authentic and has such great flavor. The family is also so friendly and accommodating. It's our favorite place to eat out.“

“When we first came to Utah in Aug 2020 we asked around and most people said there were not many good Mexican restaurants on SLC. Being from Southern California we know good Mexican food given the large Latino population. When we got a recommendation for El Gallo Loco, in Sandy of all places, we were skeptical but decided to go check it out. The words AMAZING do not even describe it. Alberto is super nice, friendly, and really helped us to pick dishes we thoroughly enjoyed. He is super humble about the place, and really took the time to find out what types of food and flavors we liked, and made recommendations which did not disappoint on any level. Their Tortilla soup is hands down the BEST we have ever had, and we’ve had a lot. Their chicken - WOW. Marinated and tender in any dish - tacos, burritos, fajitas - even just the chicken. They have 3 authentic salsas - the green sauce on burritos is so good we thought about it all week !! Chips are perfect - not greasy at all. Good range of drinks, beer, wine , margaritas and even horchata - if that’s not authentic I don’t know what is. This is one of our GO TO places for sure.“

“We always love coming to LaCosta. It’s been our favorite Mexican restaurant for more than a decade (maybe two!) the Carne Asada is delicious. Isobel, our server, was attentive and sweet. The service overall is always the best!“

“Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service. Both times I have been there, the waitress has been friendly, patient, and attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. But the food tops it all! Close to authentic flavors and great ingredients. The menu has food ingredients and descriptions in English, so don't be afraid to try something new.“

“Pollo Loco has the absolute best tasting chicken of any fast food, or even dine in restaurants. The way it’s prepared is perfect and it always tastes fresh and healthy. Love this place!“

“The waitress was very nice. I ordered a small combo smothered no cheese. She brought it with cheese, asked if I wanted to send it back, and of course I didn't want to wait, so I said no. She said it would be free, but charged me anyways. We had a slight language barrier, so I didn't want to worry about it. It was slightly burnt as well. I probably should have sent it back, but I've never felt good about doing that. My girlfriend and I still had a nice time. I just suggest another Lafountain as I do love their food.“

“The burrito size has not diminished, like others in the area. They had food options I haven't seen at other locations. Had a mixed breakfast burrito that was really good.

The location is great. The only thing is that the bathroom needs a key from staff to use, and there were flies. Otherwise, a great location.“

“The enchiladas are delicious, and if you haven’t tried the horchata, you are missing out! Really friendly employees and clean, inviting atmosphere. Love this place.“

“It was alright, I’d get one again if a friend wanted to try it but wouldn’t go back again on my own. The only cheese option was a white American cheese that melts into Elmer’s glue and the only thing I could taste were black pepper and the potato’s (which were really good tots) I do appreciate how fresh it everything was in my burrito however.“

“Their portions are huge! My daughter and I have been here twice and we share the bowl. We also get their chips and queso. The cheese is good with a hint of spice. It's delicious! Highly recommend this location plus you get a mountain view!“
