About this business
El Farol Mexican Restaurant has been a Midvale Utah eatery staple since 1967. 90% of our menu is made from scratch. Our handmade Corn Tortilla Tacos are delicious! Our Southern Mexican Simmered Salsa is unique and tasty (we also have 3 more Salsas to try also). We have many gluten free options. And the Flan...so creamy, homemade-definitely the best in Utah! $2 Taco Tuesdays are busy because we are well known for our Handmade Hard Shell Tacos. Drive, Walk or RUN here but come hungry.

Not good at all. I will never return. Not only was the service horrible but the food was kind of gross. The meat in the fajitas tasted like it had sat in the fridge for three days too long. Really horrible.
Best Mexican Restaurant In Town! – One of the first Mexican restaurants in SLC, this restaurant shows the traditional style in their food. Try their ½ n ½ it's a nice twist on the Tex-Mex classic of nachos. Their chimichangas are crunchy and are filled with whatever meat you choose and are topped with sour cream and smooth and delicate avocados. Many of their customers have been coming to this restaurant since it's opening in 1967 so you know that this place is one good place.
Nice Family Owned Restaurant – El Farol is a family style restaurant located in a strip mall. Artwork adorns the tan/yellow colored walls. Comfortable booths, cozy tables and lively music create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They serve authentic Mexican cuisine with beef, chicken and steak entrees. Appetizers, salads, side dishes, combination platters and desserts complete the menu. El Farol doesn't serve alcoholic beverages with its meals. Patrons are free to enjoy in the dining room or to order from the take-out menu.
Not worth the price – I have eaten at El Farols since I was young. I always order the same thing everytime I go in. I use to be able to eat a nice hot lunch for under $5.00. Now to get the same thing it costs me over $7.00, that for only a Beef Hard shell Taco and a cheese enchilada...no beans or rice. No kids menu..not kid friendly.....This is why I don't tip much.......more money for food....less tip from me.....
Not worth the time – We ate here tonight after seeing their 4 1/2 star review total. I was surprised how many people seemed to enjoy the place. I ordered bean burrito-which came out looking as though someone just threw it together and popped it in the microwave. Tortilla was crusty, the cheese inside was clumped up. Their Nachos were barely comparable to Taco Bell I wonder what happened? 2008 was a good year for them. Maybe they lost a cook? Changed management.
Below average and not authentic – After reading other reviews, we tried this place and were really disappointed. I love good, authentic Mexican food. In most Mexican restaurants, a good sign of authenticity is a large number of Mexican people eating at the restaurant. As we were eating, I didn't see a single Mexican person eating there. I ordered the chimichanga. Honestly, it tasted almost exactly like the frozen Jose Ole brand chimichanga I ate the day before for lunch. My wife's dinner (some kind of taco) was only slightly... read more
The Best Mexican food in Utah – I have been eating at El Farols since I was a baby. Now I am 26. I love it. The food is excellent as is the service. I enjoy the cheese enchaladas and crisp taco's. I also absolutely adore the bean dip! And I do like the Chips and Salsa, but I grew up on it.
Disappointing Experience – We may have made the mistake of both ordering the same thing however the smoothered burritos are nothing to write home about. The chili verde burritos ended up being a tortilla soaked in bland green chili (no spice whatsoever). Maybe we ordered the one thing on the menu that is like their least popular item.
Absolute best mexican food in Utah. If you eat here, you must order the 1/2 and 1/2 appetizer. The beans are incredible. The salsa is incredible. made from scratch each day - and it never tastes the same -but it's aways good. Local family owned restaurant that knows how to cook a good meal. You cannot go wrong at El Farol - and don't let the location fool you. It may not look like much - but it's amazing. Great place to take a family.
