DJ's Super Honest Food Review: Tacos Plaza

attachment-tacos plaza review
loading...

Have you ever heard of Birria Tacos? They're these tacos full of meat and melted cheese, and you dip them in a soup liquid called "Consomé." They're drippy, cheesy, beefy, and they look incredible. I saw videos online of them months ago and have been obsessed with trying them ever since. Today... I got my chance at Tacos Plaza!

Tacos Plaza is located in the Outlets at Zion, and I've heard it's EXTREMELY GOOD and EXTREMELY authentic! I had to put this place to the test, and I HAD to try these Birria Tacos! Here... We... GO!

FOOD:

I was a little confused when I got to the menu because I've never ordered Birria Tacos before. They had Quesabirrias, Birria Bowls, Birria Ramen, and Barria Plates. I felt like the safest choice was the Quesabirrias, so that's what I got. 3 Quesabirrias. 

They came out SUPER QUICKLY. I was surprised how quick their service was. They were super hot, melty, and very cheesy, and the Consomé was hot too! I dipped into the soup, took a bite and it was delish. SO juicy. However... It felt like there was something missing in the flavor. That's when I made my trip to the Salsa Bar!

The Salsa Bar had a sign showing they won "Best Salsa of 2023" at the Washington County Fair. They had "Just A Mild", "Green Medium", "Red Medium", "Cilantro Ranch", and "Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot." I tried ALL of them except the Green Medium. Take my word for this... The "HOT" salsa is HOT! I took just a little taste and my full mouth was on fire! Adding the salsa to the tacos brought the flavor to a whole new level!

REVIEW:

The Birria Tacos were great, but EVEN BETTER with Salsa. Trust me, put some salsa or dressing in these tacos before you dip or vice versa. 8/10.

The salsas were all really good too! SERIOUSLY... be careful with the HOT salsa, that one doesn't mess around! Salsas: 9/10.

Vibes: The vibes in the restaurant were good! They were friendly and extremely quick! They'll even come out on the patio to bring you your food if you're outside. A lot of restaurants will let your food get cold if you're not inside to hear your number called. 10/10 Vibes.

Likelihood of going back: 10/10. I'm already craving these Birria Tacos again and it's only been a few hours! I want to take my friends or family to try them!

Tacos Plaza is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm.

DJ's Super Honest Food Review: Nico's Fresh Salsa

attachment-nicos fresh review
loading...

Who doesn't LOVE salsa? EVERYONE loves Salsa! Nico's Fresh is Famous Fresh Salsa out of Utah! The Barber family (Nico and Lindsi) started this company after Nico served his mission in Argentina 20 years ago and was struggling to find ANYTHING spicy. He ran into a Chilean woman with a garden full of jalapeño and cilantro. He was excited and decided to create his own food with some heat! That's where his salsa recipe was born and he's been perfecting the recipe ever since!

Fast forward to this summer, Nico and his family decided to create a business with their salsa and they took off in northern Utah! They suddenly decided to do what ANY business should do... MOVE! Nico, his wife Lindsi and their four kids all packed up and moved to St. George! Nico's Fresh Salsa is a TOTAL Utah and Family company!

REVIEW:

I got both their salsas for this review. Their original, and their sweet mango salsa!

I'm a weirdo about salsa though... I DO NOT like it chunky. I don't want big chucks of tomatoes, onions, or peppers. NO THANKS! And thank heavens, Nico's Fresh Salsa is JUST how I like salsa. It's blended and I'm not getting huge chunks of vegetables!

The original salsa has some kick but it's DEFINITELY not super spicy! It's very tangy! I fully expected this salsa to be my favorite... But then I tried the Mango salsa! Like the original, it wasn't overpowering or TOO sweet! It was a perfect sweet-spot.

For two mornings at work, I spent HOURS eating chips and salsa and I didn't regret a second of it. One little thing that I did, that I LOVED... I mixed a bit of BOTH SALSAS into one, and it was A DREAM on my tastebuds! It was tangy, but sweet, but spicy... absolutely glorious!

Review: 9/10.

Likelihood of going back: 10/10.

If you want to try Nico's Fresh Salsa, find them online at NicosFresh.Com. They're also on Instagram at @NicosFresh. You'll also be able to catch them at the Downtown Farmer's Market here in St. George!

"Started as a missionary in Argentina who missed salsa, decided to create his own!"
