Del Barrio Cafe

This is an absolute must try! The service was quick, the food was fresh and delicious, what more could you want! We got the breakfast burrito and the zucchini tacos. Fresh ingredients, salsa options, and incredible flavors. The chips were warm and freshly made and some of the best I have ever had. We also got the mangonada and green apple lemonade. You could taste the orchard in that lemonade it was so good! If you are looking for a great place to with great food you got to come here!

I love birria tacos. Definitely a well kept secret and hidden gem in Utah because no Utah food threads have ever mentioned this place! Del Barrio did not disappoint! I tried the 3 birria tacos, 1 chicken tinga, and beans. Phenomenal! Packed full of meat and full of flavor. The price may seem high at first but once you get your tacos the value is 100% there! So delicious. Service was exceptional quick and they did excellent managing all the table. The restaurant was very clean as well! I came from Provo and I will definitely be back! Thank you Del Barrio! 💜🫶

This might be my new favorite place! We had a large group and the staff were very accommodating to our group and helped us celebrate a birthday! Our waitress was very friendly and kind! The birria tacos were so good and very filling! Very generous portions. Everyone at the table loved their food.!

This was the best meal I’ve had in some time. Got the pork chile verde chorizo dip for an appetizer. Holy crap. It was so good. You could totally make that your meal and be completely happy. My wife and I shared the beef birria tacos and the cheesy pastor tacos. Also excellent. This place might have the best al pastor I’ve tried before. The birria was also excellent. Great service. Maybe a little bit of a wait to get the food, but it was well worth the wait. Seriously so good. Definitely a smaller area for smaller groups. But holy cow it’s so good. Excellent place if you’re looking for some great tacos.

I am so glad that I found this place. This is hands-down, the best Barrera Tacos I have had to date. And if you know me, I am a taco enthusiast. I can talk about tacos with the best of them. And again, I highly recommend this place. Awesome staff awesome service amazing food.

Amazing service, this made me happy from the jump. People being so welcoming and appearing to enjoy the food industry always hits. Now the food; I came for birria and got some pastor along with it. Whoah. Top tier pastor, for real, it shocked me. The birria was amazing and I expected it to be based on what I heard, but the pastor knocked my socks off. Bonus that the tortilla chips are made in house and soooo good. Thanks for the great service Jasmin, I’ll be back!!

Wow...what a gem of a hole in the wall place...I highly recommend coming to this place...the barria tacos, pastor tacos, barria quesadillas, chips and dip are phenomenal...we had so many things...this is a place you shouldn't miss... check out the photos... the only complaints I would have...it's really noisy... because it's packed...and their berry lemonade was a little weak...other than that amazing

The birria tacos are really good here. The parking sucks in the tiny little lot in the back. We didn't get much service, we kept having to ask for everything, refills on drinks, chips, sauces, waters， napkins etc.

Oh man. I absolutely love this place. I kind of stumbled here by accident. And I've been back a few times ever since. On purpose. All of their tacos are absolutely fantastic. Great spot.

Did not expect to love this place as much as I did! The restaurant is small on the inside but actually has plenty of tables/booths to sit at. Our waiter was great! He continued to check in on how we were doing and kept our waters filled. Very friendly too :) The food is incredible. We ordered the asada cheesy tacos and the Birria cheesy tacos. Absolutely amazing! Lots of flavor and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to try more things on the menu!

Aye carumba! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Found it about a year ago and have had them cater a party too. Tres tacos today - pastor con pineapple, chicken ticka and a chorizo. Love the way they from them on the grill to get them extra hot and cheesy from the outside in. As simple as it sounds, their chips are the best around. They could be a meal unto themselves! Servers are always working hard. Food comes out fast. I love State Street places like this.

Finally one of our recent stops at a SLC establishment paid off and really impressed us. Our entire group loved this place! The restaurant is pretty small, but inside it's warm and comfortable, with good service and delicious, home-cooked and authentic Mexican food. But it's the tacos here that really blew our minds. Cheesy asada was the best we tried, with some serious flavor, thick with beef and ooey gooey cheese. The asada was cooked perfectly, juicy and so tender. The provided guacamole with it on the side was the perfect addition. It was one of the best tacos I've had in recent memory. The cheesy al pastor was also very good, with tender chunks of pork, a pretty tasty marinade, and full of pineapple chunks. The (quesa) birria wasn't bad either, meat a little bit too tough, but flavor was very good. I'd suggest paying $2 more and getting consommé to dip in for any of their a la carte quesa tacos. And their salsas, red and green, were yummy on top. Tortilla chips with salsa before our meal were thick, seasoned, and complimentary, salsa just pretty good (thin). It can get busy here and the parking in back kinda sucks. But it's worth the wait. Our server said afterward that the cheesy shrimp tacos are the best thing here, so we have something to look forward to on our next visit.

So glad we ran into this little hole in the wall. Not much to expect from the outside but once you get in, there are plentiful delicious options. We tried the barria tacos (look like taco version of a French dip) and the cheesy pastor. Both were good but the cheesy might be a bit better. Want to come back and try the other dishes!!!

I was skeptical about the quality of Mex cuisine here but the birria tacos and chips and salsa were great. We really enjoyed our first visit while visiting SLC. It was a recommendation from a local friend. The place was full when we arrived but we were seated and served promptly. The service was really friendly and personable. Overall highly recommend.

Wow! We arrived at noon on Friday and had a 20 minute wait. Smaller restaurant with very small parking lot. Approaching northbound on State Street, I missed the entrance to the parking lot as you cannot see the parking lot which is in the back. Circling around a couple of blocks, then entering through B&D Burgers' parking lot, I realized there were no spaces, so I parked on the street behind Moochie's and walked. Worry it, though. Each of us had the Crispy Cheese Pastor Tacos. Oh my. So good. One of my buddies said it was the best taco he had in his life. Crispy cheese on the outside and yummy Al pastor with grilled pineapple on the inside. Absolutely amazing. There were complementary warm homemade chips and tasty salsa before hand. If you want more, they charge. Speaking of which, there is a modest charge for credit cards. The horchata was very good. I want to return and try their burritos and other items. They offer a variety of freshly squeezed lemonade. I want to try their burritos habanero lemonade. I would say that the quality of food and authenticity of the food is on par with what I've eaten in Tucson, the first N. American city named a UNESCO Gastronomic Capitol of the World. Service was excellent. The place is homey but comfortable. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

We checked out a lot of reviews before visiting Del Barrio Cafe, and they all were very positive, for the most part. So I was excited! Parking is kind of weird, and it's hard to get in and out of the place, so be prepared for that. The place is definitely on the smaller side, and it had a lot of people when we got there, so we had to wait about 45 minutes, which is fine - just means it's popular! We tried the Birria and El Pastor tacos, and the flavor was good, I will say that, but they were so greasy. I just didn't realize how everything was basically going to be double deep-fried - very, very greasy food. That said, it did taste good. The amount we got for the price was ok, but I wouldn't say great. The waiters were really friendly, though, and they kept our drinks refilled. I had to knock off a couple stars, because I felt like I might have a coronary after leaving this place. And I was so surprised that other reviewers didn't mention this aspect at all. So anyway, be prepared for some very greasy food, and a long walk afterward to burn it all off. Or if you don't care about what you put in your body, by all means, indulge!!

This is one of those hole in the wall gems. I wish it had more seating but that seems to add to the rarefied feeling of it. Fantastic food, especially their famous tacos. Food came quick, service was great.

Don't let the outside fool you. Although it looks sketchy on the outside the inside has a nice little charm to it. The service was very kind and accommodating, although there was a little bit of a language barrier -- NBD. We got a lot of food and it was all delicious. I especially liked their chicken cheesy tacos. I was worried there wouldn't be enough to fill me so I got two plates, and only ended up eating three and taking the other three to go home. Their salsa was yummy and their chips were made fresh. A little too thick in my opinion but the flavor was there! Very very yummy! Mojito lemonade was delish as well!

One of the best authentic Mexican places I've been to in Utah. Absolutely mouth watering with great service and a really cozy atmosphere. They just started serving breakfast too!

The parking lot is a nightmare and if you go at the wrong time you might end up waiting for a while. That said, worth. it. Del Barrio hits all my favorite things. Chips are thick, which is my favorite. I will argue the birria is the best in the valley. Maybe your mom makes better but I don't have an invite to her house, so Del Barrio gets the win. Flan is so good, I almost always get a slice to go. And the bathrooms are always clean.

First time here and it was amazing! Some of the best tacos we have ever had. I got the Al pastor and Birria tacos. We also got the guacamole. It was pretty busy even for a Tuesday evening. Service was amazing she was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely come back and bring friends !

Great service, amazing food! Looks like a hole-in-wall and such a great find. Didn't expect it but went in based on the review and didn't disappoint.

Friends, I could WALK here and am so sad that it took me so long to try it out. If you haven't been, go ASAP. I'll say, it's going to be a rare treat occasion because this spot is not cheap. But it was SO yummy. We came as a family of three for a random lunch one Friday afternoon. It is small with limited seating, but we were seated right away. Parking is easy to miss, so be sure you're watching the signs. Thinking about my mangonada lemonade is making my mouth water. The cheesy shrimp tacos were incredible. Our service was really good. I just don't have anything bad to say other than it's a little pricy. It's worth the price. Just not something we can swing on a casual day like I'd like to.

Del Barrio Cafe was incredible delicious. I got the Cheesy Asada Tacos and loved them. It comes with three tacos. They are expensive but yummy. This is a sit down restaurant with a server. They provided complimentary chips and salsa. I felt the chips were too thick and hard and the salsa was like soup. They have very limited parking available so be prepared to park far away and walk.

From the outside, Del Barrio may not look like much-and if your GPS is like mine, it will take you to the neighboring car lot and leave you there-but once you find the right place, prepare for some tasty tacos. As others have said, this is a small joint-I've had more people at one time in my house for Thanksgiving dinner than I think could fit here-so come at non prime time for quicker seating. It's cool to be so close to the action, but for some it might be a little overwhelming. I enjoyed an order of Yucatan Pork tacos and they were fabulous. I especially appreciate that they are not smothered in different toppings-everything is on the side, so for plainists like myself, we can enjoy the pure taco without any distractions. Because the place is so small and table space is precious, I did feel a little rushed to leave after finishing my meal. My dining partner and I were enjoying conversation, but felt bad taking a table, so we left before we might have been ready to. So don't plan on this being a place that you linger longer. Eat and get out! :-)

Cute little restaurant. It's cozy inside, but plenty of seats. The service was great, and the food was delicious! We ordered the Cheesy Pastor tacos and the Birria Tacos and both were amazing. Different flavors, but we couldn't decide which we liked better and that's a huge compliment in itself. The meat was flavorful, the taco shells were fresh, and salsa was mild but added the perfect touch. We will definitely be back and recommending this place to friends & family!

First time in Utah visiting my son and this place is amazing!! Food was absolutely delicious and the service was spectacular!! Love this place!!

Service here is the star here. I don't think I have ever experienced this level of service at a Mexican restaurant. I got the Birria tacos and the flavor didn't disappoint. I hope I can return to try some of their other tacos. The service alone makes this a destination!

Another great experience today, just here to remind myself about menu items and share how I felt with anyone contemplating what to order- I was there on a date and dude wanted me to share the pork chile verde chorizo dip... and I was shocked that I liked it! Not spicy. Tasted like bean dip. I even liked the chorizo! Pretty cool. We also shared the birria tacos and the cheesy al pastor tacos. I liked both but liked the birria more. I still think the nachos are my fave thing of all though. Also, it was PACKED at 12 on Thursday. We had to wait 20 min for a table and I had to park across the street. Totally worth it though.

Amazing service, great vibes, INCREDIBLE FOOD. I would eat here daily if i wouldn't gain weight

YUM!! My new favorite! My belly is happy & full. No beer here, which is sad, bit oh well. The food is FABULOUS!!

So yummy and friendly!!!!! 10/10 We had the tacos- they were great!! Cheese dip was also delicious. Come hungry!!

I had just flown in from San Diego for work and was starving. Born and raised on the best Mexican food and have toured Tijuana's taco scene more than once. Don't tell anybody from CA I said this... but these tacos and enchiladas were the best I've ever had. I had one shrimp taco, one tinga, and several bites of the green enchiladas. They were so fresh and you could really taste all the flavors and textures. The cheesy tortillas really made the tacos outstanding. Our server was awesome and recommended some of the best options. I loved the small cozy atmosphere. Parking looks like it could be tough but luckily we got a spot!

I haven't been this impressed by a place in awhile! We stopped in here on our way to the airport. It obviously had wonderful reviews, but I still wasn't entirely sure what to expect. It's a small place that probably doesn't seat more than about 50 but it was packed on a Monday for lunch! I ordered a single Carne Asada taco, Chicken Tinga taco and Birria taco. They were mouth watering. I honestly could've eaten another 3 without hesitating. The chips and salsa were delicious, as were the rice and beans we split. My boyfriend got the Carne Asada burrito and he loved his meal as well. The service was stellar and I would 100% come back here again.

This place is the real deal. Family-owned, no frills, no gimmicks--just food that tastes like someone actually cares. We tried the chicken tinga tostadas, al pastor tacos, and birria tacos. The tinga was smoky and tender, piled high on a perfectly crisp tostada that shattered the way it should. The al pastor had those caramelized edges with just the right hit of pineapple--simple, balanced, absolutely killer. But the birria... that's the dish you'll dream about later. Rich, slow-cooked beef with a consommé that's dark, earthy, and impossible not to dunk into. This isn't hyped-up "fusion" or Instagram bait--it's the kind of food you wish you could eat at someone's kitchen table. Honest, soulful, and worth every bite. If you're looking for polished décor and cocktails with dry ice, go elsewhere. If you want food that actually matters, come here.

A little warm inside but service was friendly and the cheese dip delicious: velveeta with fresh strips of poblano and tomato and queso fresco. The fish taco was simple but fresh. The cheesy el pastor taco was delicious with just the right hint of cheese and chunks of sautéed pineapple. Hubs got the burrito version and said it was very good as well. Kiddo had shrimp quesadillas and said the sauce that comes with it is a must-have.

Super good food and great service. We are from out of town but will be back for sure.

Best Mexican food I've had in SLC. Their birria made me fall in love and I've not had anything that comes even close elsewhere. Sauces galore come with the dishes. Their pozole is incredible and comes in a massive bowl with all the fixins. We also love the al pastor and fish tacos! Great for takeout or sit down. Just waiting for them to carry margaritas now!

OMG! This place rocks! We found it on Yelp and the restaurant is super clean and the people working here are so customer service focused! Loved the Chicken Tinga Taco was my favorite. And the Carne Asada burrito is delicious and huge! Thank you, we'll be back!

Food was great and we had amazing service! We had a big group and they handle us well. Very thing was delicious!

First time here. Was so delicious and fresh. Cucumber lemonade water so good and refreshing. Horchata so so good. Highly recommended. Service was excellent

The tacos are so good. Highly recommend Al pastor and the birria taco!! The Al pastor has sliced grilled pineapples in it......mmmmmm!! The tacos comes with 3 tacos for about $12. The guacamole and salsa appetizer comes out with fresh chips. I love that they have electronic menu where you scan a QR code on your phone. User friendly. It's a small place that gets busy. I went there on a Monday for lunch and it was full.

It's in a bit of a tricky spot, easy to miss from the outside since it looks small, but inside there's plenty of space. The ambience is great with beautiful wall designs. We tried the birria tacos and enchiladas--both were excellent.

Small but super efficient and superior service. Food served hot and tasted phenomenal! Price very reasonable. New favorite place!

Still haven't been able to try the desserts. Life goals. The server cheers me on to help motivate me to finish my meal. I am proud when I finish even if I don't finish, she reminds me how I tried. Thank you for the delicious food.

By far the best birria tacos in Utah hands down. Awesome service!! Great prices! I mean I don't know what else you can ask for in a Mexican restaurant. They also came out with this really great. Mango Enmoladas! See picture. Absolutely fantastic I have to admit I would go to this restaurant a few times a year or so ago when the restaurant first opened. I wasn't fully impressed. Now that the restaurant has been open, they really have started to find their stride and deliver amazing food! Do yourself a favor and check out Del Barrio Cafe ASAP!

Love this place. The food is amazing. There are no birria tacos better in the state. And their cheesy pastor twice are just as good. Also we loved their Guac and their chips and their limonadas are incredible. The mojito limonada was so refreshing with fresh mint. I want to come back and try more tacos and some of their enchiladas. The service was phenomenal. Jasmine went above and beyond to provide recommendations and to check in on us and make conversation We will come back often!!

Before we even get to the food, our waitress was one of the friendliest and helpful servers I've ever had the pleasure of dining with. From tailored food suggestions to frequent check-ins and refill services, the service was fantastic. Aside from the staff, the food was world-class. These tacos could hold their own against any in the SLC area--I'd highly recommend the Al Pastor, a delectable combo of pork and pineapple, plus onions, lime, and green and red salsas you can top to your taste. The tamales were amazing as well! Would 100% recommend eating here!

The good - Birria tacos had good flavor. They had a good amount of meat and was well seasoned. -The mocktails drink was tasty and it's nice to have multiple drink options. I ordered the mojito - There's many other interesting things on the menu including the smothered burrito I look forward to trying The bad - parking sucks. It's a very small lot and it gets busy fast so you may have to park further away and walk - the service when I did my to go order wasn't great. I think I went during peak time. I'm sure it would be better if I came in for dine in - the consome provided is such a small serving size that you can't really dip your tacos or have enough to taste the broth. I thought it was also underseasoned, but again there wasn't much of it to really say that for certain.

Can't say enough good things about the food and service at Del Barrio. We started with the Rajas Cheese Dip, which was pure cheesy goodness with chunks of peppers and onions. Best restaurant queso I've ever eaten, with plenty of delicious warm homemade tortilla chips. My wife had the cheesy asada tacos and I had the birria tacos. Both were wonderful with crispy cheese cooked into the tortillas. The service was friendly and attentive, and we left full and satisfied. We will be back.

So so so so good! Visiting from California. Saw the other positive reviews online and saw that it was close to where we are staying. Ordered the Cheesy Asada Tacos, Ensalada del Jardin, Chips and Guacamole. It was amazing and service was great. Highly recommend

Wow, there were several items that really blew me away! I got the Fish Tacos and the breading was perfect in texture and doneness. It was absolutely next level in flavor. That was bar none the best tasting breading that I've ever had. Their guacamole was outstanding. They had specific sauces for both my dish and my wife's Michoacan Tacos (the pork is prepared like you would expect for carnitas) and they worked perfectly with the dish they accompanied and were very delicious. I was so impressed. This place is an absolute must try!

Everything here is amazing, from the chips and salsa, to the beans and rice, to the tacos and enchiladas.

Really good tacos. Probably in the top 5 of places in Utah to get tacos. Their pastor is really flavorful, carved right right off the trompo and you can definitely taste the adobada. The birria tacos are also fantastic. The meat is really flavorful. The consume is great. There's a lot of cheese stuffed inside the tacos. Sometimes hard to find parking especially on the weekend or during busy times.

The food here was so good, the service was great and came out so fast! The building is super cute on the inside. Love it I will be back

AMAZING. I'm sad it took me so long to try this place because the food is unreal. Service was incredible and our waitress was so fun and friendly! Prices are so reasonable for the food quality and there was no wait on a Tuesday evening! Can't wait to go back

Excellent tacos! Great local spot! Fun choices and chill atmosphere. Definite recommend!
