Michelin-recognized chef brings L.A. taco culture to Utah

Zoom in: Most meats are cooked over an open flame, layering the tacos with a deep char.

• Fillings include the staples: mesquite-grilled carne asada, Baja-style battered fish, pork al pastor and more. Diners can add a variety of housemade salsas.
• You won't be paying fine-dining prices: the tacos range from $4.25 to $5.25 and burritos from $8 to $13.50.

The bottom line: As a former Los Angelino turned Salt Laker, I favored their grilled steak and chicken tacos for their smoky flavors.
