Maize · Downtown
Maize works from a small Regent Street counter with an emphasis on corn tortillas and carefully prepared fillings. Tacos move through braised meats, grilled proteins, vegetables, and bright salsas, with the compact format keeping attention on texture and seasoning. The downtown shop is suited to mixing several tacos rather than committing to one oversized order.
Lone Star Taqueria · Cottonwood Heights
Lone Star Taqueria makes fish tacos with the catch it finds each day. The Cottonwood Heights counter also serves adovada pork tacos and substantial burritos, making it a stop after a trip through Little or Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Tacos Don Rafa · Downtown
Tacos Don Rafa has kept its cart near State Street and 800 South for decades. The family-run stand serves street tacos from a regular downtown pitch, with the quick counter format that established it as a fixture of the neighborhood.
Facil Taquería · Holladay
Fácil Taqueria grew from a food truck into a Holladay restaurant. Its taco menu includes Nashville hot chicken with agave glaze, a smoked brisket taco with chipotle buttermilk dressing, and vegetarian fillings such as mushrooms with ancho orange glaze or cauliflower with avocado and carrot hot sauce.
La Lola Taco · Murray
LA Lola Taco makes blue corn tortillas in-house for its Murray taco counter. The menu draws on Los Angeles taco-truck culture, with the tortilla given as much care as the fillings. Chef Luis Perez brought the idea from California to this single Murray location. Order a mix of tacos so the house-made blue corn base can anchor several different bites.
