    It’s pretty decent Mexican food. There are similar Mexican restaurants in the Salt Lake Valley that I think do a better job on the execution, but it still is good. I ordered the chile verde smothered burrito with and a cheese enchilada, both were good with tasty sauce. They provide free chips and salsa for the table. I appreciated that my waiter would refill our chips and drinks without asking. If you found this review helpful, please give a thumbs up 👍

    So I’ve never been let down here. Very similar to other local New Mexican style food. So I knew what to expect when I came in. I like their drive thru to go pick up window. That’s extremely convenient. The service has always been polite. I would recommend coming in. I would go with a smothered burrito. If you find this review helpful, give me a like 👍🏽

    Very delicious food. The staff was friendly and the food came out super fast but the quality wasn't sacrificed. We got the steak fajita smothered burrito and a shrimp chimichanga. I would say the salsa could be spicier though, but I do LOVE spicy food. My cohort doesn't have was extremely satisfied with the salsa.

    Incredible!!! The staff was super nice and attentive but gave adequate time to go over the menu. They replaced the salsa just as we were running out. The food came out quickly after we ordered even though there were several other tables! The establishment is super clean and inviting! The side of rice and beans was huge and well worth the extra cost! Everything tasted divine and we will 100% be returning!

    Very yummy Mexican food and they have one of the best Chili Verde at this restaurant. Its always low key and fast service and they have 2 kinds of salsa for different tastes. Make sure you get a side or smother your food in the Verde sauce!

    A typical Mexican Restaurant experience that I'd go to again, but not my favorite place. Nothing special but reliably tasty. Fast and professional service. Lots of cheese, tortilla, rice, and beans. Would like more meat. Chips and the 2 salsa options were great!

    Amazing food! Always great quality, flavor, and service. Way better than the other La Fountain locations. Very clean

    Lady at the front was nice. Food was terrible. Took two bites and through the burrito in the trash. So did my co-workers.

    We love dining in here, but I wasn't feeling well, so tried takeout instead. The app is not able to make customized orders like my 1 cheese enchilada and 1 shredded beef. Also chips and salsa cost $5 but they're free when you dine in. Portion sizes are huge but the Styrofoam containers leak. Lastly, they have changed their enchilada sauce within the past year, and it's just not as flavorful as it used to be. This is still a great restaurant with good food and value, but I think we'll stick with dine in.

    I wish I could say the experience was good which I have had at other la fountain locations. I ordered a take out of ribs, The ribs taste like jerky, The rib sauce tasted rotten. The whole platter was just gross. If it wasn't for the fact That I had driven so far away before discovering this I would have taken it back. A side note though the young lady that waited on me was very nice.

    Went for birthday dinner. Service was quick and friendly. We always had our drinks filled and the food came out quick. I got the Taco Salad with grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come again.

    The food is delicious and the service is great! You also get big portions, so we always have leftovers which is awesome. I would recommend this place. We also get take out and our order as never been messed up.

  • 3/5 Dennis S. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything looked and smelled delicious when entering the building. The chips and two salsas were promising. I got to say, they were the best part of the meal. I wasn’t surprised when the menu said $1.39 for an extra side of sour cream. Was not expecting that side of sour cream to be in a foil pack. as soon as that arrived, that’s when things started to turn downhill. See, I’m from Connecticut. We don’t have good Mexican restaurants in Connecticut. When I come to Utah, I crave the Mexican food. However, this is not one Mexican restaurant I’ll be craving or returning to anytime soon. Although it seemed fresh, you could see them making it to behind you. The burrito tasted like it was right from the frozen fruit aisle. The service was amazing, and the woman was too friendly to tell that the food was not good.

    I love the shredded chicken and shredded beef enchiladas. they're so good! I don't have the best tolerance for spice, but this place is perfect for me. Every opportunity I can get, I come here with my parents for a well-priced meal. Only problem I have are the churros. I love them, but they could use just little bit more cinnamon sugar. I still enjoy them because they're fresh! I'll be glad to come back around soon!

    Just around the corner from Riverton high school. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. Exceptionally fast service! Food was mediocre.

  • 4/5 Valeria R. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want to explore new menu options and larger portions this is the place. They have beans and chorizo combination options. Their shredded beef is really good and flavorful and their Chile Verde consist of a salsa with chucks of pork. Very unique with reasonable prices!

    Every time I go to a new Mexican restaurant I get enchiladas so I have a good baseline to compare to other places I've been too. The enchiladas here were good, nothing mind-blowing, but good nonetheless. The service was great though, very friendly and very fast. I do feel like the prices were high for what we got though as well. All in all, not bad, I would go again, just not very regularly if at all.
