- SShaylaJackson Hole / Wyoming •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agoThe drinks were fantastic. The white peach margarita is to die for, as long as you like a cup full of ice. But either way still delicious. The Pork Carnita Nachos were great on the first layer, but the rest was literally dry chips. When I spend that much on food, I expect every layer to be coated with deliciousness, and not just the top. The El Pastor Tacos were…mediocre. The pork didn’t have much flavor and were a little dry. They kinda skimped on the mango topping. The burrito my husband had, was more pico de gallo than anything else. It was almost a veggie burrito. Over all, not a bad place to relax, but I don’t think we will be back again. Chips + Salsa, Pork Carnita Nachos, a Burrito, 3 El Pastor tacos, 1 white peach margarita, and 1 mule was $110 and change. Personally not worth it when we can go to Red Iguana and get way better food and drinks for half the price. The bartender was nice though. I’ll give them that. But otherwise, there was much more to be desired.More infoNacho Daddy - Salt Lake CityPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Salt Lake City•4.1
