" I was a bit hesitant to try La Favorita due to its food truck location, but wow, was I wrong! The food was incredibly authentic and delicious. I had a huge burrito stuffed with flavorful pork. The owners were so kind and the service was fast. I can definitely say it’s worth stopping by for good Mexican food that feels home-cooked! " (*Curated Review*)

" I haven't tasted Mexican food this authentic in a long time! I ordered the trio of tacos: asada, al pastor, and pollo. All were outstanding but the al pastor stood out with its great flavor. Jose and his wife are the sweetest, providing quick service while also making sure you feel at home. It’s definitely a place worth returning to. Just be prepared to find it next to a busy truck wash. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Favorita was fantastic! The tacos are among the best I’ve tried. Each one is flavorful, and the variety of salsas available complements the meal perfectly. I was particularly impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. The owners, Jose and his wife, provide top-notch customer service, making you feel like part of the family. It's also very budget-friendly and noticeably cleaner than many food trucks I've visited. I urge everyone in the area to check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked up to the food truck, I was struck by how friendly the owners were! They made recommendations, and I decided to go with the tacos de tripas. They were crispy yet tender, and the salsas were superb. I strongly suggest you stop by on your next trip through Salt Lake City! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Favorita after hearing great things, and I must say, it lived up to the hype! The carne asada tacos were phenomenal and full of flavor. The couple running the truck is incredibly friendly, which adds to the charm. I can definitely say this place will be my go-to whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommend trying the homemade salsa—it’s a game changer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the opportunity to eat at La Favorita while waiting for my truck wash across the street. Best decision ever! The tacos certainly exceeded my expectations in quality and taste. The owners made me feel welcome, and the service was impeccable. I'll definitely spread the word about this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! La Favorita serves authentic Mexican dishes that will make you want to come back again and again. I can't remember the last time I had tacos that reminded me so much of my childhood! I had the carne asada, and it was perfectly grilled. The owners treat everyone like family, which really adds to the experience. Keep up the great work, guys! " (*Curated Review*)
