If you love Mexican food, you’re in luck! You’ll find dozens of incredible Mexican restaurants all over the Beehive State. From taco carts to family-owned businesses, you could dine on tacos, burritos and mole every day for a year if you’d like. While we’re a big fan of the humble taco carts in downtown Salt Lake City, there’s also a more upscale Mexican restaurant you might want to try. Take a look!
Alamexo Mexican Kitchen is located at 268 S. State Street, Salt Lake City. It offers an upscale but casual Mexican dining experience.

If you love tacos, you’ve come to the right place. Alamexo offers chicken, pork, mixed seafood, and barbaco. The filling is brought to the table still sizzling, and it’s served with fresh, warm tortillas, salsas, and beans and rice for the table.

The Enchiladas Mole Poblano are another great option. The pulled pork enchiladas are smothered in the most delicious mole sauce you’ve ever tasted.

Some of the best dishes here aren’t even on the menu. The daily specials are creative and unique. This cured pork loin with tomatillo passilla Oaxaca sauce looks amazing.
