I've been in my new home in West Valley City for two weeks now and my friends keep telling me the Mexican food here is superb.

State of play: They're not wrong. As I explore my new neighborhood, I find myself going back to Tacos Lopez, a Utah-based, Tijuana-style taqueria.

Besides tacos, the fast-casual eatery offers mulitas, vampiros and quesadillas in a variety of meats from asada and al pastor to cabeza and lengua.
Most tacos are priced under $3 and there's nothing on the menu over $8.

What I've tried: I'm already a fan of their fire-grilled asada and buche tacos and al pastor quesadillas.

The vibe: The taqueria's drive-thru location at 3609 S. Redwood Road and late-night hours make it optimal for me to grab a bite after a night out.

Hours: Tacos Lopez's West Valley location is open Sunday through Thursday from 10am to midnight and from 10am to 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.
