Ol' Skool "Cali Style Mexican"

Ol' Skool "Cali Style Mexican" in Syracuse, Utah – 5 Stars All Damn Day! Okay, listen up, foodies and flavor junkies—because this place is IT. My husband and I just tried Ol' Skool, and I’m telling you right now: RUN, don’t walk. He got the OG Burrito and I went with the OG Bowl, and holy hell—we were both looking at each other like, “Did we just find our new favorite spot?” First off, the flavor? Slaps. Perfect balance of bold, fresh, and straight-up delicious. You can taste that Cali vibe in every bite. They’re not messing around—this is real-deal, soul-hugging comfort food with a West Coast twist. Prices? Totally reasonable. We walked out full, happy, and not broke—hallelujah. Atmosphere? Chill AF. Cool vibe, clean space, and the kind of place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab-and-go. Service? So damn friendly. Like, talk-to-you-like-they-actually-care kind of friendly. If you’re local (or even if you’re not), do yourself a favor and hit up Ol’ Skool. It’s got that laid-back Cali flavor, Utah heart, and food that’ll have you dreaming about your next visit before you even leave the parking lot. We’ll definitely be back—probably tomorrow. 10/10.

This place is amazing! We drive from Orem to Syracuse to come here. The staff is so kind (Jackie rocks!) and the food is amazing. The Ol’Skool burrito is so yummy. The steak is flavorful and the fries are crispy and seasoned and we love that there are two sizes of burritos to choose from. The different sauces also add a nice touch depending on if you prefer mild or spicy.

Awesome customer service, atmosphere and just some good old gang’sta, rap. Love their style!! Honestly, this burrito is the whole package: bold, hearty, and satisfying in every way. It’s comfort food, but with a level of flavor that makes you want to come back for more. They provide a great value & price point! If you’re ever craving something that hits all the cravings at once—this burrito is your answer. 10/10, no question.

This of the MOAB (mother of all burritos) right here. I was absolutely blown away by how amazing this joint was. The restaurant was super dope looking, great vibes, cool owners, great food. I can put down a burrito, but these burritos are another level. Massive, not dry, flavorful, unique. This is an absolutely amazing place. Love that it’s locally owned and operated. It was great getting to chat with Jackie and her husband. This place is a true treasure and a must try.

This place is great! The folks who run it are super friendly, the food is delicious, and the vibe is really cool! I had the Ol Skool steak burrito and it was great!

We decided to try this seemingly unconventional taco location and were pleasantly surprised. Very interesting interior with inner-city graffiti-like décor and the staff seemed like they were from some inner-city place as well, however, they were so nice and welcoming that we had nothing to fear. The food was appealing and delicious. Cooked to perfection and served up with spices and garnish that added flavor along with added flair.

Phenomenal service, spectacular food, & clean & fun spot! We come once a week! The gaucho is our fav with Ol’ Skool sauce- don’t skip on the cheese and gauc!

Great food and amazing staff. First time here and the staff was super helpful and informative. The helped guide me to a meal I really enjoyed.

If they're still making the Foo fries, get them!!! They are 100% my absolute favorite, but they aren't permanently on the menu. We stopped by yesterday for the car show and it was soooo much bigger than last year! It was fun to see all the cool cars and eat some delicious food. They had a raffle going on, so we bought some tickets and were so close to winning the grand prize! We won the grand prize last year though, so we're already spoiled :) I hope they are able to put on another car show next year because our whole family looks forward to it!

Great team, the family was lovely. The food was unbelievable! The sauces, are all made on site and they were unreal! Recommend most highly

Honestly food was bomb. Everyone we encountered was kind and our order came out quick. Portions are large! I got a small size and still could not finish. Yummy sauces to pick from. My spouse had the OG one and it was a little dry. Definitely need the sauce. However my burrito with the enchilada sauce was so damn good! My only complaint is the place smelled strong of fried food and it clung to our clothes and hair after leaving. Still would not stop me from going back.

Been coming here almost weekly lately. The burritos are delicious, haven't tried anything else because they're so good! Staff is also friendly! Would highly recommend to anyone that loves a good Cali style burrito.

Conveniently located in a plaza with other food places and Walmart, you'll find Ol' Skool. They make amazing burritos and loaded fries. The number one seller is the Ol'Skool for the burrito but my favorite is the Gaucho. You can choose between chicken or steak and peewee or biggie size. You also get to choose one sauce. My favorite is the Shot Caller! Warning though, the Shot Caller is super spicy so if you can't handle spice, I'd choose one of the other ones. What I normally order is the Gaucho Burrito, Biggie size, with Guac and Cheese, and the Shot Caller sauce. The burrito is packed and full of flavor! Because I get the biggie size, I always have leftovers and get to eat it for dinner or for the next day. I highly suggest coming here for lunch or dinner. Also, pay attention to their hours of when they are open. They do close in the middle of the day and open back up for early dinner. If you the have the means to do so, don't forget to tip! Cash is the preferred tipping method here :)

Amazing food! Employees and owners are very friendly. Def will come back. Love the decor, reminded me of my childhood in California

The food itself was incredibly delicious. So I just have small notes that would have improved the overall experience for 5 stars... The light fixtures looked cool but hung in front of the menu, blocking it. When I mentioned it to the cashier she said "I don't got no money to fix it. too late now. And it's funny to watch people bob their head around. Haha" ...ok? It wasn't fun to bob my head around to look at. The menu itself was confusing to follow. While the graphics were cool and edgy, there were issues with functionality of what is available. They do not have any sort of non-bottled drinks. If you want water you buy a bottle. (Which sucks because I'm white and even their mild sauce was a tad tingly). But they also have a bold sign that you can't bring in your own drink. My burrito came with sauce and when I asked if they could just put it in the burrito instead of in the side, they said "no it only comes in a 2 oz cup on the side." But like, you're making the burrito already. The burrito was delicious and to size, but not wrapped. So it was hard to hold and eat. Also the burritos do not come with cheese, which feels silly because, well, it's a burrito. It was $.50 extra. Overall, it is such a cool joint. Leans into the theme and aesthetic. But those few little things would really make it a 5 star place I'd be happy to come back to again. I will probably still come back but those things did bug me. Hence the -1 star.

This place has delicious food and a fun atmosphere! The staff is friendly. Everything I have tried from the menu has been excellent. I also love that they have multiple sauces to choose from.

Damn! Food was bomb! You will not leave hungry. Burritos and loaded fries....so so good! Very clean and cool vibe inside. Super nice employees. We will be back for sure. Thanks for a delicious dinner!

We had the opportunity to grab some dinner here last week. Service was great and very welcoming. Their menu items have plenty to choose from and should fulfill your appetite, if you are in the mood for a California style Burrito or tacos. We visited around 4:45pm on a Saturday. They were already out of their fried tacos, which was unfortunate. My wife tried the street tacos instead. The tacos were typical and what you expect, but the chicken lacked seasoning and flavor. I had the burrito special of the day, which was a steak burrito with fries, onions, tomatoes and guacamole. It was really large and filling. Overall, the opportunity to support local is an important factor for us and this is a shop that is definitely local and hard working. We will stop by again in the future to try other items.

My husband and I tried this place last week and LOVED it. I got the Ol' Skool burrito with steak and my husband got the Gaucho burrito with steak as well. We loved them both and plan on visiting often!

Another new restaurant opened up in Syracuse! We were super excited about this one because we have had them before when they were a food truck! Their burritos are a California style. The Ol' Skool burrito (pictured) is full of seasoned fries, guacamole and your choice of steak or chicken. I chose steak and it was a good choice! It's very flavorful and not chewy like a lot of fast food steak is. I also ordered my burrito with the Ol' Skool sauce. It's like a jalapeño ranch and is on the medium side for spice! I 100% recommend that sauce on your burrito. Super good. They also serve tacos, fries, and churros! Inside there is a lot of seating, and it's a nice relaxing atmosphere. The food came fast and the staff was super friendly! They even gave me a sticker which I thought was super nice. I'm a big fan of everything that opens up in Syracuse. I love supporting our local businesses!

This place definitely deserves 5 stars!!! Great customer service and fast! Decided to finally check this place out for lunch on a Friday! Cute little place in Syracuse. They had an old pay phone on display which was awesome to see that! The layout of the restaurant was nice. You walk in and there's a tall table and behind are cool small tables. You can see the kitchen when you walk in which i thought I was pretty cool! The cashier who helped us was very friendly and helpful! She recommended the Ol Skool burrito was popular! We ordered the Pee wee size, and man that was still a huge burrito! I can't imagine what the normal size is!

Came here for a birthday dinner with my husband. It was a fantastic choice! All the workers are so friendly and helped tell us about the items on the menu. We both ended up getting loaded fries. I got chicken and my husband got steak. Holy cow! So yummy! Crispy fries, well seasoned meat with awesome sauces. For dessert, we got the churros. Also mega delicious! Food is made fresh to order, and not a long wait. The inside is clean, fun and you can tell the employees enjoy their job. Looking forward to coming back soon!

This place has great reviews, but I was not impressed the slightest. The vibes were very hip and made me feel like a teenager in C.A again, the music was good, the staff was great and helpful. There is only one bathroom and no changing pad for anyone that needs to know. I came in on a Saturday at 6pm. It wasn't busy, the food didn't take long. I was dissatisfied w the food. The burritos are overpriced and not even a burrito. I'm sorry charging extra for beans cheese rice? Strange, that's what a burrito is. We got the regular that simply came w fries, protein and salsa. Bland yes, but again why do I have to pay "extras" for what a burrito comes with, let's be real, burritos are ordered bc people want all of that. We also got fries, they're salty but edible and good enough. My order of "Street tacos" ZERO stars. Have you ever had a street taco? Ok I grew up eating them so all my life it's been onions and cilantro and lime at the LEAST. There are NO LIMES. The sign is up "No limes" most Latinos love limes ‍ there's also no pico in sight, radishes fine if you don't have em, but ultimately this place is not authentic. The salsas are good, the protein choices are simple- chicken or steak. It is a fun place to go hang out and eat bland Mexican food- like white version where you enjoy the good stuff and not the original stuff. It's very much for the young crowd, not a family dinner outing that wants a good filling meal at good prices. I'm sorry that it was nothing more than that. Again the staff was great and the place is cool, but the food is not impressive whatsoever.

My wife and I went there tonight and the food was delicious. We met the owner and all of the staff and they were very friendly and helpful as it was our first time there. Very cool vibe as soon as you enter through the door! Be sure to Cali-Up and all of their homemade sauces are great and the chimmichuri sauce is fire! Highly recommend you go grab some awesome food and if you have questions just as the staff they won't steer you wrong!

One of my favorite "go to" mexican food places in Davis County. I love their food. The fries and large burritos are filling and super big.

Food was okay at best for the price paid. Definitely something I won't be going back for anytime soon unless they adjust prices. I got the gaucho loaded fries as recommended by the people working there, fries are cheap mass produced crinkle cut fries that have some seasoning nothing special with a small topping of steak and sauce. And the guacamole was also not that great, the one thing that was unique and good were the sauces but that's about it... if they used homemade fries and gave a decent amount of steak I could see it being worth the price but this is definitely short of what I paid for... presentation of the food looks good but the cost and quality just isn't there...

I have been hesitant to come here because the menu intimidated me with the variety of sauces (definitely user error on my part). However, they had a great guide at the counter and extremely friendly customer service to help me choose my dinner. Our food was very fresh and tasted amazing. It's a unique take on food that I loved. I highly recommend them!

Tried their loaded fries with steak and their steak street tacos. Both were great. Topped it off with a churro. Best churro I ever had! Definitely will return. Another note friendly staff made for a great visit.

Omg the food is out of this world delicious! Both beautiful ladies were able to accommodate all of our vegetarian needs without out compromising the taste!! From the fries, to the tacos to the delicious spicy red salsa. Just . I found my spot!!

Burrito lived up to all the reviews and hype! Owners are super cool, delivery of the food was fast. Got the Steak Ol School Biggie it was huge and took some home. The Shot Caller sauce is nice and hot

Overpriced for what you get. Nothing special. Food was salty. Staff was mediocre. Felt like they couldn't care less if they had any business.

The food is amazing! I don't know what they put on the chicken, but yumm!! We've been here a few times and have found ourselves already craving to go back. While we're usually creatures of habit on certain foods, my husband can't help but try something different each time and it never disappoints. The owners and staff are the sweetest people. So nice and friendly with everyone that comes in. The art work on the wall is perfect addition to the spot. Our daughter notices different things each time we go.

Really good tacos and burritos! They're from CA and it's hard to find a good Mexican spot out here, especially in Syracuse lol. Cool vibes inside, makes me feel like I'm back in LA. Great service too!! A spot you should check out!

SYRACUSE!!! FINALLY A WORTHY BURRITO HAS COME TO TOWN! 5/5 or 10/10 however you wanna split it, Ol Skool is top notch! The food truck origins show in the best way via tasty authentic cuisine! The combination of fantastic food, and super friendly staff makes Ol' Skool the perfect place for a high quality quick lunch or full on dinner-Change your plans and head over to Ol' Skool immediately!

DO NOT MISS THIS! Tried the Ol' Skool (with steak) and Saladrito (with chicken) burritos, Biggy size. Both proteins were extremely well seasoned. The burritos themselves? HUGE. And packed with flavor! There was no skimping on the ingredients, especially the sauces. My seventeen-year-old couldn't stop talking about the fries that accompanied the steak in the Ol'Skool. His words: "You can't go wrong with potatoes in a burrito, but these fries just kick it to the stratosphere!" Indeed. We've got pretty limited quality food choices in Syracuse. We're seeing more national brands move in, of course. Jack-in-the-Box--meh, do we really need plant protein in our meat? And now Chipotle's coming to town literally kitty-corner from the shopping center that houses this local gem. Ol' Skool's righteous SoCal vibes and sublime food demand attention and deserve long-term Syracuse residence. Wow--what a burrito.

Good gut filling tasty burrito and the staff have always been nice. It's an interesting spin on a burrito. I'll be back.

We are so happy this place opened so close to us. The owners make you feel like you're already homies when you walk in, love the decor of the restaurant. The burritos are def a fav for our family. Do you're self a favor and eat here. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the tacos were kind of dry for my taste. But those burritos make up for it. I need to try some fries next time I come in!

The service was good. Very friendly staff. They don't have a soda dispenser which means no free water cup which is annoying. You have to pay $2 for a plastic water bottle likely from Costco or something? The food was average. The burrito has flavor, but is very dry, especially with the fries inside. They need some kind of sauce inside to help breakup the dryness. It's worth a visit, but for the cost you can definitely get better food elsewhere.

The food was delicious... had a chilaquiles burrito, chicken street tacos, and an El Torito. I would highly recommend. Must try this place if you want a great burrito and tacos... will definitely come back!!!

We love this place, the service and food is great! It's so nice to have real Mexican food from home. Highly recommend!

third time we've come on a Friday around 3pm, and the place is locked, closed. Online, weekly hour schedule, and door dash show them being open.

We got the fries with steak and they were so good and a big portion- 2 people can definitely share it. The fries were hot and crispy and seasoned well and the toppings I added cheese and gauc and it was soooo good! We also tried the street tacos and loved them both -the chicken and the steak. Their sauces are so thick and fresh and delicious-with the right amount of heat. I loved the flavor of the mild one (inca I think) I wish it was closer to us.. but we will definitely be back. It's not cheap- but it is worth it price.

Well it was a big burrito, but mostly fried potato's. Kinda bland. I'll try them again though. Wasn't impressed

Ok, so this review goes out to the home girl back there cooking up some fandamtastik eats! I'm a hard sell because I am allergic to garlic, but they did me up good! I missed out on the steak so I'll definitely be back! Service was stellar, we took a few minutes to figure out what I was gonna nosh on, and they were patient as ever! The scenery in there, off the hook y'all's!! Not one thing I can say wrong about my visit!

My taste buds lament my stomach is not larger. The location is a bit hard to find but worth the effort.

Staff is friendly and funny! Food is great and the sauces are on point. The had the Curry Burrito which was a special they had had it was so good.

Great food! I got a burrito and loved it. Good price for a huge burrito, I go the bigger size. I wish they had fountain drinks here, just stuff in bottles. Food and service was great though!

Ol'skool is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Utah. I come here to eat every chance I get. There isn't a single thing in the menu that doesn't make your mouth water and leave you wanting more. the staff is super friendly and always makes sure to give you the best experience possible while dining. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Food is good, people are awesome! Can't got wrong with the loaded fries or the Olskool Burrito!

Have you ever taken the first bite of something and said "oh sh!t..." ? This place is probably the best food I've had in Utah. The owners and staff are incredible. The food is absolutely delicious. Strongly recommend you give it a go.

The food taste really good they. Just need to toast there tortillas more for their burritos. Haven't tried much of their other food but I'm sure it's good!

I eat lunch here for lunch probably 2 times a month on average. I am never disappointed with my choice to come back. The portions are generous, the service is friendly and prompt, the food is high quality and delicious and the prices aren't too bad for all the food you get. I love this place and highly recommend it to anyone considering trying it out.

Fast and friendly service, plus the food was amazing! A nice change to the typical Mexican style food.

Food was delicious! Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. I will be a return customer.

Awesome burritos and tacos. The Churros with caramel were very good! Truly made me homesick for California food. Can't wait to come back and get the fries. The service was warm and inviting and the location was cool inside.

The minute you walk in you are greeted with a warm smile. the food is amazing and prepared fresh You have to try the Inca sauce! The restaurant decorations are so cool. Definitely worth a try.

delicious food! great atmosphere. the service is fantastic! definitely would recommend
