Taqueria el Gallo Loco

Reviewed By cliffordicus

Everyone wants to have their little hole-in-the-wall Mexican food secret. This is it! I’ve spent a few years living in Sandy looking for some really great Mexican food and I’ve found it here!When you walk in, you might be scared. It looks like a forgotten and sad little diner. There isn’t much staff. Just one kid who worked so hard. We were nervous and almost left. However we stayed when we noticed the kitchen was clean. The menu looked like a Mexican restaurant menu, which means hard to read and too much stuff. We ordered the guacamole as an appetizer. Honestly, this rivaled the freshness and quality of any tableside made guacamole I’ve had! Holy guacamole! I ordered the vegetarian torta and my partner had a carnitas taco dish. Mine was amazing! All fresh tasting veggies, cactus, squash blossoms, dressed delightfully. Just shockingly amazing. My parter was obsessed over his tacos. The service was wonderful as well. Our server was a young kid who was personable and professional and knowledgeable about the menu. The chef stopped by our table to check on us and tease me for eating my torta with a fork. Just really cool fun people and a great professional atmosphere— if it could use a serious remodel. I urge you to check out this place! Don’t be worried, the food is spectacular and the price point is very low. Wonderful!!

We were happy with the food from this Chipotle. We took two chicken burritos to go and 30 minutes later they were both great. They really pack the meat and other ingredients into that tortilla. We feel this chain uses healthy ingredients.

Chili's Grill & Bar

Reviewed By tastefairy

We enjoyed our last visit to Chili’s. Katie was a great waitress and was very attentive to our orders. Food was great—loved the Chips & Queso! My daughter and husband shared the Steak, Chicken & Shrimp Fajitas. They said the steak was a little chewy and they would probably just go with the chicken next time. I️ would probably go with the chicken fajita lunch special. For $8, I️ believe, it came with a salad or soup, and a lunch portion of chicken fajitas—looked just right. Also, the Mango chicken looked great! I️ had the Quesadilla Explosion salad and it was pretty big. It was very tasty—it had a mix of iceberg lettuce and spring greens; a sliced chicken breast, and a small cheese quesadilla. I️ specified that I️ wanted the quesadilla served warm—and they did. FYI-they usually serve it cold with the salad. Great soda!

Cantina Southwestern Grill

Reviewed By WWF4G

The wife and I were going to a movie and decided to try out Cantina Southwestern Grill for dinner. The first thing you notice is the great decor of the whole establishment. Then your eyes are pulled to the Salsa Bar. It wasn’t too busy so we were seated immediately. Our server brought out the first round of chips and salsa and then told us to help ourselves to more if needed. Seriously, who can argue with literally all you can eat complimentary chips and salsa. My wife had a two entree combo of an enchilada and crisp taco while I opted for the chipotle shrimp tacos. Both had black beans and rice. We did order the table side guacamole which is made to order right before your eyes. Guacamole was excellent and the spice level is made as requested. My wife’s order was good with no issues. Mine came and I had two tacos with the shrimp buried by two piles of cabbage. I studied the monstrosity in hopes of figuring out the best way to tackle it. I ended up using my fork to sift through and find the shrimp. The shrimp was plentiful and with chipotle drizzle was tasty, but was slightly over shadowed by the fact that I had this heap of shredded cabbage to dig through. My wife and I came to the conclusion that it may have been better to present the dish as sizzling fajita style so one could construct their tacos to eat. Nevertheless, it was a great visit and we would definitely come here again.

They get you right in generally because the amount of seating is large. Quick service and a full menu of Mexican foods to chose from. Prices are typical for this type of fare. I've never been disappointed. It meets my expectations for this type of food.

We got the sweet pork chimichangas.In the past, everything was very good. This time was not great.The rice was very average, the sweet pork was really overly sweet and the burrito was overcooked and dry.We came away disappointed and wondering if it was just a bad day or we ordered the wrong thing for today. We won't be ordering the sweet pork again.
