" El Calor has stolen my heart! I’ve never tasted such authentic tacos in Utah. The carne asada was grilled to perfection. The place may look a little rundown, but the food makes up for it in every way! Highly recommend their horchata too! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food, I was surprised by the state of cleanliness. The dishes are amazing, no doubt, but I wish the dining area was tidier. I will definitely come back for the tacos, but I hope they can improve on the overall atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've eaten at many Mexican restaurants, but El Calor stands out! Their carne asada burrito was one of the best I've ever had. The flavors felt like home. Service was decent, though it could improve. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at El Calor. The food was excellent, especially the burritos, which were authentic and delicious. Unfortunately, service was lacking; it took about 40 minutes for my meal to arrive. I’m torn because the food was truly top-notch, but the wait was frustrating. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was recommended to try El Calor, and I have to say I was not disappointed! Amazing flavors and fresh ingredients. I got the chicken tacos and they were fantastic, although the dining area could use a good cleaning. I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about El Calor, so I finally decided to check it out. The atmosphere is very casual and a bit cramped, but that's the charm of a true hole-in-the-wall. The tacos I ordered were fantastic - full of flavor and served with fresh tortillas. The only downside was the wait time; it took a while to get my food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Calor Taqueria is definitely a hidden gem. Their tacos al pastor are a must-try. The meat is marinated to perfection and the toppings are generous. I've always received friendly service, although it can be a little slow during peak hours. Totally worth the wait for such amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)
