Utahns love Mexican food, but it can be hard to find truly places that serve truly authentic dishes. There’s a little hole-in-the-wall spot in the middle of nowhere that’s quietly serving up the most amazing Mexican food you’ll ever try, and it’s well worth the drive. Check out Tacos La Pasadita in Green River.

The next time you find yourself driving through Green River, keep an eye out for this gas station. It’s located at 215 E. Main Street, and it’s not a gas station anymore - now it’s Tacos La Pasadita.
