Menu is very large with lots of options, pretty authentic food and large selection of salsas to choose from for sides as well. The beef tongue (lengua) torta that I got was amazingggg, very tender! Other people in my group got a chimichanga and burrito, and they are very generous portions. I don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything on their menu!

Its all about the beans for me and their beans are perfect. The cheese enchiladas are excellent also. Good enchiladas are hard to come by. The burritos are all delicious good salsa bar. They have great hours open Sundays and somedays until midnight. Great value lucky to have them in Cedar. Wish they would open a sit down restaurant.

The food is great and the service is really fast! After ordering, we got some salsas from the salsa buffet and got a table. The food is very authentic and full of flavor. You can't beat the prices and the quality of food anywhere else. The protein and quantity of each dish we ordered were very generous.

Best tacos in all of So Utah. The adobada and asada are the best ones. The carne asada fries are amazing as well. Always make a stop here when I’m in Cedar

Really good, authentic Mexican food in Cedar City! Look no further. AND they have an amazing salsa bar. I got a variety of street tacos, a crunchy taco along with a side of rice and beans. SOOOO GOOD! Service was excellent, food came up fast even though there was a line. It is now my go-to Mexican place, so glad it's here.

The chimichanga was huge and delicious. The food was made fresh and it came out quickly. I could eat the marinated carrots on the salsa bar as a meal. They were flavorful and mild. I love that they have lime quarters available on the salsa bar as well. Really good restaurant.
