About this business
This charming Mexican restaurant, located in the old Rio Grande Train Depot close to the center of Salt Lake City, boasts an impressive variety of delicious homemade salsas. The chile verde is definitely the best, tasty on all of the burritos, enchiladas, and tacos offered. The salads and homemade carnitas (available only during dinner hours) are also recommended. Come in for the food and stay for the legends surrounding the train station.

Love it! This is such an amazing little restaurant. They are very small and very personable. It's nice to have a little restaurant that you can go to and get away from everything for a while. Food is good and they are generous with their portions. Great prices too.
I love this restaurant despite not being typical "authentic Mexican food" – If you only like very authentic Mexican food, like the Red Iguana , this place is probably not for you. Our friend from Mexico recommended the carnitas (I think seved only after 5), and taught us to ask for the green salsa with our chips. But I love the vegetarian burrito and the margaritas straight up, without a lot of mixer. I also love that I can get a good salad or a tostada al la carte. The chile verde is good, but not very hot.

Average Mexican Food – Not a big fan of this place. So many people seem to want to go there but the food is just Ok and the prices are too high for what you get. The salsa is pretty good but that's about it. Very Overated!
Great Mexican This is a really fun place to eat. The food is great....you must try the Rio Grande taco, it is the best. The guacamole and salsa and soooo good. Worth the trip!
Not like it used to be I ate here several times years ago and loved it - the food and atmosphere. So I took my husband back when we were in town this week. We were disappointed.
Don't waste your time or money – Yes, this restaurant has been around for a long time. Yes, it's in a historic, interesting building. Other than that, it's possibly the worse service you'll ever have, very low-end gringo American Mexican, and nothing redeeming to make it truly worthwhile. Unfortunately, this restaurant has gone so far downhill over the past few years that it would be surprising if it even could make a comeback. Bottom line--don't waste your time or money on this has-been dump.
favorite place to go Love the food...always a lot to eat
good food Go for the food not the atmosphere
good mexican food Great for lunch hour. The food is good, in and out withn an hour. Always very busy, not exactly the quietest place to have lunch, but it's my choice often.
