You just skied 3 kings hard all day, shared a joint with your friends, and now need to pick between the two most local and quality fast food places. What’s the pick?

If you're going back down to Salt Lake:
Tacos Don Rafa on Highland and 3900 S (food cart on State and 800S is better but they just opened a storefront)
Real Taquoria - This is my Go-To. A damn good burrito that'll get you horizontal if you can finish the whole thing for $11.50
Lone Star - basically the same as Real, similar prices, started from the same owner as Real
fuck outta here. what you are going to do is pull up into to mcdonalds and go in. go to the kiosk and use the bogo mcchicken deal and then pay, and then start a new order. use another deal or use some rewards points. if you do it wisely and dont fuck around you can get like 4 burgers, fries, and a drink for like 9 bucks

Make some good tacos at home for the cheap. Wrap them in foil. Put them in a pot with a lid. Leave them in the car while you ski. When you get back. Turn on the car and put the pot on your engine let them sit there for like 10 mins while you change and put everything away. Remove the pot and said tacos in foil. They’ll be nice and warm. Bonus. Get some cheese dip in a jar and some tortilla chips. Wrap the jar in foil and put it towards the corner of the engine bay where it’s warm but not hot. Throw some chips in foil and do the same. Chips, cheese dip and tacos.

Answering the actual question:
Del taco 100%. Taco bell is tasty, but it's absurdly expensive now. Del taco still has some great deals like the Spicy Chicken Burritos (2 for $6 i think) which actually taste like real food.
my two chalupas and a crunch wrap supreme was 18 dollars the last time i went. Im not really an app person but i wonder if my franchise actually offers anything worthwhile on the app or not, as they usually opt out of everything. I can make better ones at home anyways.

i'm not defending the prices at all but crunchwraps and chalupas are 2 of their most high-priced items. and both are super hit or miss-- they're both awesome if they're made well but the CW often is made poorly and the chalupas need to be somewhat freshly cooked to be worth it but it's often just not the case
avoid them both unless you're willing to roll the dice, and go for the more consistent, cheaper items is my advice

thanks for your hard work and dedicated research. it sounds like 4-5 soft tacos is the sweet spot.
Real talk does anyone go to del taco? I have one like 2 miles from where I live, tried it once and it sucks ass. Did I order something wrong or what because taco bell's entire menu tastes pretty much the same and it's hard to go wrong

gtfo. chipotle is by far superior.
embarrassing side story: i used to boycott qdoba because chipotle was from colorado and i wanted to support my home state. years and years go by and guess fuckin what?! qdoba was a colorado company lol. both are now headquartered in cali though

I mean CO and CA have no shortage of dank mexican food. I don't really see the need to go to either of those unless maybe you're road tripping and hungry for something right off the highway

Yeah they're both extremely average compared to a real Mexican spot, even the 24hr places put them to shame.
Im too cheap that all my food money went towards gas. Living in denver on the devils(epic) pass is a pain. Im lucky to have a few slices of ham and then a coke zero on the drive home.
Toro tacos near the Sears lake. Always support that guy. Otherwise the betos on state is better than the albertos in SLC now, so there's that too. Don't go to del taco or taco bell dude you have so many options.
YoungWookieeThe Pie pizzeria >mexican food in Utah
First of all, Taco Bell and del Taco are not "Mexican food" it's fast food lmao.
Second of all, the pie is decent but pizza in Utah has very average pizza options in general.
And last, Utah has some of the best Mexican food around so you just need to go to the right place. If you want fast Mexican food, hit up Beto or rachoritos, it will probably change you mind.

You need to venture out of state then, Been to em all, the Mexican food in Utah is bland and lacks flavor. That includes red iguana the most over hyped spot in Utah. Loco Lizard in park city is probably the best Mexican spot I’ve tried out there with the past 3 years I lived in Utah. Couldn’t find anything decent other than that

Lmao loco lizard is one of the worst Mexican restaurants in Utah. Maybe you just don't like Mexican food?
I get steak fajitas, they actually have high quality steak for a Mexican restaurant everyone else there uses meat equivalent to dog food. Skrt skrt mexican is my favorite. So disappointed in Utah mexi food that when I went to California for a week all I ate was Mexican food to make up for the lost time without it
ps you also probably think those seafood boils are great too

When I travel I miss good pizza and mexican food. That said ok enougj mexican joints have popped around the world. The pizza idk. I like shitty pizza too, but so much overhyped overpriced trash out there.
Also if you really want horrible bland "mexican" food try the Taco Shoppe in Govy when you're at hood. I don't wven think they understand what spices are. Not saying its not hot, but flavorless ground beef. They had deals for mtm employees you could get a big burrito for $6. A lot of food for cheap but it was so fucking bland I stopped going. Every time I went randomly would be disappointed. At one point I literally brought my own salsa, hit sauce, and other things with me there just to make it more edible.
I don't understand how places stay in business but I guess woth tourists you just need to get them in the door the one time they come to town.

I actually think red iguana is pretty good, it is kinda overhyped because it's not worth an hour wait but it's solid Mexican. Got a chili relleno and chicken enchiladas thought both were gas
Oh and the mole poblano is super good
