Jurassic Tacos Highland

Had the Burrosaurus (it's a burrito... get it?) with steak. It was tasty, tender meat and a good combination of ingredients. Also tried the Carnotaurus (did I spell that right??). A little heavy on the cheese but otherwise also tasty. Pricing is maybe a little high for Mexican food. Chips and guacamole weren't great. But if you want a big tasty burrito it's a great spot!

Very delicious! Happy to see new restaurants in the highland area! overall delicious food and friendly service! Guac is a pass though. Kinda watery? but definitely coming back! 😀

We've been waiting for this place to open up having seen the signs for the store for several months. Solid 4.5. Food looks great tastes good. I've reviewed 5s I thought should be 10s. This just missed 5 because of flavor which gets a passing grade from me however for $40+, needs to be at least as good as street tacos downtown SLC. Issac and company are good folks. They are trying but I'm calling on them to level up! Flavor! Be a 5 that I want to give a 10!

Disappointing. Let’s break down the 3 stars (more like 2.5 stars). The branding is fun, 4 stars. The food itself isn’t good, 2 stars. And the prices are really out of whack, 2 stars. If I’m spending $11 on one taco (call it big if you want), I should get much higher quality ingredients. My wife’s comment was that the meat “all tasted like ground beef” and she wasn’t wrong.

I have no problem paying $11 for a taco, but they are made by someone like Enrique Olvera and if you go to Mexico City, NYC, or LA, do yourself a favor and eat at one of his establishments. The quality of the taco would be outstanding. For $11, I can also get 3-4 tacos at Don Joaquin all across the Wasatch Front or Street Tacos Tarricaso (the best street tacos in Utah but clear down in Payson) where they have perfected the fried queso taco. But the quality of ingredients at these other locations is superior and they offer excellent salsa bar options.

Finally, I understand why they need to use a flour tortilla…because of the size of the taco. I got a corn tortillas substitute that was also large but tasted more like a rice wrap than a corn tortilla. Not sure what is going on there. The street taco corn tortillas are fine. I will give kudos for the Coke products and for 3 tasty sauces.

To summarize: I had great hopes of falling in love with a local establishment close to home and in a place (Highland) that desperately needs restaurants but can’t get them because of local city ordinances preventing businesses from operating on Sunday. Unfortunately this Jurassic Tacos (and its other chain sisters) fall well short of expectations.
