Cancun Cafe Salt Lake City

Barely squeaked a 4th star from me because the fajitas were decent. Ordered the chicken fajitas, carnitas taco, pork tamales and a cheese enchilada with red sauce. Everything fell into the okay category except the fajitas which were just on the plus side of "good." The carnitas were dry. I know the crispy bits are key, but the pork shouldn't be dry. The tamale was simply bland, and the enchilada had a red sauce that shocked the whole table. We all went around tasting it wondering how a sauce could literally seem to not exist when it entered your mouth. I swear, it was body temperature so aside from knowing that we put something in our mouth, we couldn't otherwise tell. Very strange. The fajitas however qualified as good. I used to consider myself a bit of a fajita connoisseur, but my skills have degraded of late. These fajitas checked a good number of boxes, sufficient meat and veg, steamed tortillas, sizzling skillet, side plate of rice and beans, additional side plate of sour cream, guac, pico and lettuce. All checked. Missing, shredded cheese and 4th tortilla. Why so few restaurants give the 4th corn tortilla I will never understand. Anyway, the flavor was solid and although the onion to bell pepper balance was a bit pepper heavy, I think some people like it that way. If the chicken was a little less dry it could have been a top notch offering, but as it was, it just sticks in as good. As a final note, the table chips were decent and clearly made in house. A little thicker than I usually prefer but solid. The table salsa was just okay. A bit watery and mild for my taste. And although it shouldn't be a negative, I can't help but mention this. The same salsa was brought out in two bowls. It would have been nice to have two flavors. Yeah that's like looking a gift horse in the mouth, but the excitement really turns sour when you dig into the second bowl only to find that it's not new or better than the first one.
