Utahns love Mexican food, and tacos are no exception. After all, they’re the perfect food: inexpensive, portable, and stuffed with all kinds of tasty ingredients. Here are nine of the best taquerias in the Beehive State.
**While there are tons of great Mexican restaurants in Utah, this list only includes restaurants that specialize in tacos, and these are all listed alphabetically.**
When you're craving tacos on a Sunday in Utah County, Don Chuy's Taco Shop is the place to go. The tacos are fresh and tasty, and it's open seven days a week. Locations in both Payson and Provo.
Quirky Lone Star Taqueria is a favorite in the Salt Lake Area. The line here is often long, but the tacos are worth the wait. 2265 Fort Union Blvd, Cottonwood Heights, UT 84121
Sure, it's located in a strip mall...but the tacos are authentic and inexpensive, and you can watch them make your tacos while you wait. 150 W. 1230 N. St., Provo, UT 84604.
There are a lot of taco carts in downtown, but Tacos Don Rafa, located at 800 S. State Street, is the best of the bunch. This guy has been making the most authentic tacos in the state since 1998.
Fresh and tasty, these tacos are built to satisfy. Pair your tasty tacos with a cocktail - this place has a huge selection of tequila and tequila-based drinks. Locations include Holladay, Foothill Drive, Downton SLC, Murray and coming soon to Lehi.
If you want authentic tacos with plenty of toppings, head to the west side of Salt Lake City, where you'll find Taqueria El Ray De Oros at 157 S 900 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84104.
Yes, you can get authentic tacos in Heber! The meat on these tacos will fall apart in your mouth, and everything is perfectly seasoned. 461 S Main St., Heber City, UT 84032.
Of course, I couldn’t list all the tasty taquerias in Utah! What other places would you include on this list? Tell us in the comments!
