This place has some of the best Mexican food in Utah. It’s high quality food that tastes amazing. It’s a great experience that I highly recommend. I loved the guacamole, salsas, chip, tacos, enchiladas, pretty much everything. It is right in the heart of Salt Lake, so parking is limited. The ambience was cool and elegant. The service was spectacular. It’s very clean and beautiful. I would recommend visiting outside of rush hours. You cannot go wrong here. The only downside is it is a bit expensive.

I so badly wanted to love this place. It’s definitely not authentic Mexican cuisine, so if you are looking for authentic, this is not your spot. Food is more high end with a modern twist and flavors are really good. My disappointment was the side dishes. I went with 4 people and we all ordered separate entrees that cost around $20. In the menu it states that all entrees come with rice and beans. When the meals were given to us, there was only one 1/2 sized plate of rice and beans expected to be shared with 4 people. I questioned the waiter and was told that customers dont eat all the rice and beans so they only bring out 1 serving size. For over $20 per plate I thought this was very cheap and false advertising. Flavors were great, but I was disappointed and felt I was being cheated.

Delicious gourmet Mexican food. Many dishes have flavors from the Yucatán region, something you won’t find at most Mexican restaurants in Utah, which serve dishes typical of northern Mexico.

The duck taco appetizer was by far the tastiest dish we ordered. I was also very impressed with the quality of their side dishes such as the rice and refried black beans, not your typical refried beans that come in a jumbo can.

Ambiance is modern chic, and so are the prices. For me it’s worth it since the quality of the food and quantity of meat are more than filling. You WILL have leftovers! Not to mention the complimentary chips and salsa, and churros.

The decorations in the restaurant were really cool and set the mood well, but they seemed under-staffed and our server wasn’t very good. Their prices are way too high for the amount of food you get. You pay for the arrangement of food on the plate it seemed like. Will not go back, but the food was pretty good!

I have eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants and this is by far the most superior Mexican food I have ever had. The staff is top notch the servers are amazing the place is clean and well taken care of. They are attentive and take care of all of your needs. I am highly impressed by this place and definitely suggest this is the start if you ever come to Salt Lake City

Best thing about here is the selection of tequila. Skip the nachos and sauce, which were more like stale chips and ketchup. Seriously, the sauce was thick, red, and too sweet. Just like ketchup. The guac was ok but wasn’t worth what they charge. Most of the crowd there were hipsters that didn’t know they could get better food at the tacos cart down the street.

this hidden gem is located on state street in salt lake and let me tell you it is top notch.. a little gourmet ‘Tex-Mex’ fine dining experience over delivers and did not disappoint myself as well as all my mates.. Named Alamexo, this fine restaurant is play on words that pays homage to the historical event known as the Alamo. Honestly the perfect name for such an eatery with strong theming to make you feel as though you are transported to the actual Alamo itself.. The servers are extraordinarily personable and quick.. the food amazing.. take an extra step beyond the complimentary chips and salsa and order the guacamole, the server prepares it right in front of you and it’s like nothing you’ve ever had before.. after the main course they surprised our table with an extra treat on the house and it made the night that much better.. phenomenal experience

One of my worst restaurant experiences to date.

It took our server nearly 10 minutes to come take our drink orders after we sat down, so another server poured us water while we were waiting. Neither one of us wanted anything other than water, so when the waiter finally showed up and found out we only wanted water to drink he disappeared for another 10 minutes. He eventually brought us a very small bowl of salsa and chips and took away the giant stone bowl that he was mixing salsa for other tables. I guess he assumed we didn’t want any of the tableside salsa?

My coworker ordered the chicken tacos and I ordered the barbacoa tacos – just as we were about to walk out and leave, our spacey waiter finally showed up with our food. The barbacoa was completely overcooked and some was severely burned. The rice and beans were hard and overcooked as well. The corn tortillas were soggy and very thin. The food was TERRIBLE.

The total bill was $45 for two orders of tacos, with both of us drinking water. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT!!

Amazing Mexican food. We were in town for the night so we stopped by based on the reviews. Everyone was spot on!! Get the elotes and some of the house margs!! You definitely won’t be disappointed!! Also the free churros with the check was a nice finishing touch as well

The table side guacamole is excellent, but a little expensive. I enjoyed my dish, which was salmon (cooked perfectly), served over a unique savory sweet sauce. My wife ordered the Mole Poblano, and was less impressed. It was too bitter, and the pork was a little bit dry.
