If you are in the mood for tacos and do not want to spend much to get them, Taco Bar is worth a look. It sits at 919 South State Street in Salt Lake City, and the whole place is built around a casual, fast-food approach to Mexican, Latin American, and New Mexican cooking. The draw here is simple: loaded street-style tacos and a fresh salsa bar that lets you customize your order with whatever toppings you are in the mood for.

The prices are the first thing people notice. A lot of the tacos run about $2.00, and the place is known for being a good value, especially on Taco Tuesdays. If you are ordering for a group, the loaded fries are the obvious next step: Asada Fries are crispy fries topped with grilled, chopped steak and melted cheese, served with guacamole and sour cream, and Camaron Fries lean on shrimp instead. Beyond the tacos and fries, the menu fills out with a quesadilla, jalapeno poppers, chicken wings, chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks, so it works as much for a quick lunch as it does for a late-night craving.
Speaking of late nights, Taco Bar keeps later hours on the weekends, which is when a good of a taco spot really earns its keep. The regular hours run from 10:00 AM to around 9:10 or 10:00 PM, depending on the day, so it is open for everything from an early lunch to a late dinner. You can order online and pick it up, get it delivered, or just walk in and eat on-site, and there is parking available out front, which is never a bad thing on South State.
The reviews give you a sense of what to expect. On Uber Eats it holds a 4.6 rating from 17 reviews, and over on MapQuest it sits at 4.4 from 25. One reviewer, Zachary L., called it the best tacos he has had in Utah and noted the prices were ridiculously low for 2026. Kristina W. wrote in February about the salsas, the consome, and the tacos, saying you really cannot go wrong. Jennifer A. pointed out that the tacos came with plenty of topping options, which is exactly what that salsa bar is there for.
If you would rather stay home, the place is all over the delivery apps. On Uber Eats, the Quesabirria is the most liked item at $12.99, followed by the nachos at $12.99 and Jarritos at $3.00, with side fries at $5.99, a quesadilla at $8.99, and jalapeno poppers at $4.99. The tacos themselves stay cheap on the app too, with al pastor, asada, and pollo at $2.00 each and lengua at $2.50. DoorDash prices run a bit higher, with the Quesabirria and Asada Fries at $14.31 and the Camaron Fries at $15.41. Either way, it is a low-stakes, high-reward spot for a taco night, whether you are heading in or ordering it to your door.
