Boltcutter

Went in after lunch time on a Saturday. Zero wait. Restaurant was clean and in a good area of downtown SLC. Staff was nice and friendly. We were riding bikes and it was hot so we were very thirsty and the waitress did a good job making sure we always had water. Food was SO good. Guacamole and salsa was to die for and the Cali burrito was heaven on earth. The hot sauce they gave us I could have drank. I would definitely go back. My only complaint was they don’t give you that much guacamole.

WOW. Being from Arizona, we're always hesitant to try out-of-state mexican food.. Boy are we glad we gave Boltcutter a chance! Vegans and non-vegans alike should give this incredible space a try. First, the food was incredible (otherwise I wouldn't be giving a good rating). We started with chips, guac, and salsa (my one complaint is the salsa is VERY mild.. The hot sauce they have in bottles helps with that!). For the entree, we decided to split a burrito (thank god, it was HUGE and very filling). The Sin Carne Burrito was divine. You successfully satiated two grown men from the Southwest, congratulations!

I was looking for late night food as I was heading back to a friend's place that I was crashing with and Boltcutter came up. They seem very newly opened because I could find little info online, but gave them a go. The decor is super nice and bright. The staff were super friendly and inviting. I got Buffalo habanero cauliflower wings and tempeh Baja tacos. Everything was ok, but nothing was distinctive; the cauliflower in particular was weird because it said habanero, but I did not get much heat. Maybe my palate has been affected by eating spicy food for so long, but I was hoping for more. The tacos were not bad, nothing special. On my next visit I would love to see what they do after finding their voice.
