ABOUT KELLY
Kelly received his doctorate degree in “ciencia de los tacos” from la Universidad de Oaxaca in 2002. Since then he has received many further awards in taco academia including an honorary degree in “La historia del taco : su impacto cultural y su delicia” from la Universidad de las America in Mexico City. His 2005 publication “Tacos en nuestras calles : riesgo o sangre de la vida?” led to his reception of the Congressional Medal of Tacos, our nation’s highest honor. He has traveled backpacking through Mexico tasting of its cuisine and hospitality. While he deeply loves the Spanish language, he is certainly no expert. His many errors en español have resulted in much laughter and occasionally resultados calientes.
He enjoys music, linguistics, art and many other topics which he sometimes writes about at http://www.burgersmoke.com.
If you have any suggestions or ideas please send them along. Also, if you would like to contribute to the site in any way through writing, reviews, photos, etc, please contact Kelly :

I am having a problem with your ‘Taco Map.’ When I download it from your website, all I get is a street map with no locations designated.
a mention or at least ways to help?

I work for the Deseret News / El Observador and would like to talk to you for a story we may run about your taco expertise. Please call me when you have a minute at 801-333-7404.

Hey do you have the contact information for any of these taco carts?
Just read your review of the taco showdown in Provo. Do you have a map of taco carts in the Provo area?
I am interested in renting a catering taco cart for a small party at my home. Any tips?
Hellow all inquiring about contacting these street carts. 99% of them don’t have an office or phone number to be reached. Your best bet is going downtown and approaching these people in person. I know that some carts have markets they are associated with, or perhaps restaurants, but we don’t have all the information on each one compiled anywhere. That could be something we look into doing in the future. So in the meantime, our way, and your only way of communicating with the carts, is by finding them on the street, and talking with the owners. They are all friendly and approachable and willing to talk about doing business. I wish we could do more for them by providing a central place of communication between the carts and the customers.
Also, we don’t have any maps for provo, but if anyone has known locations please do post them so we can add a provo map (if it warrants having one).
What do you guys think of Molcasalsa Mexican Food?? They got some great food….let me know what you think.
omg! is kelly’s bio serious?…luv it! kelly studied the Science of the Taco! who would’ve thought that even existed? that’s awesome! keep up the good work boys and put the Taco Academics to good work!
Unfortunately, some of the information on my bio is fabricated. I have not officially studied the “Science of the Taco” and I have never written a thesis about it either.
However, I would like to study such a thing so I decided to put it down. 🙂
What time do they stop selling at the Taco Stand in Salt Lake City ?
Hi Ashlee-
It depends on the taco stand. Some are open to 10pm, while others are open late until times like 1am or 2am. I haven’t asked every taco stand owner this question since they usually tell me that it depends on how much business they are getting.
I am planning a “fiesta” themed party for my husband’s 40th birthday.
I would love to have (rent) a taco stand/cart with some tasty tacos!! Any suggestions or recommendations??
I’m looking for a taco stand/cart who could cater to a Cinco De Mayo lunch for a small group next Thursday. Is there anyone in Orem/Provo area?
Sorry, Dave. I’m not familiar with any taco carts in the Orem/Provo area.
Anyone else know of some down there?
hi, we live in heber and every year i have a big taco party, my usual taco guy has gone back home. do you have any suggestions of a taco truck that would travel to heber – and is of course good. i am just looking for your basic asada tacos about 400 of them – thanks for your help. i love the blog. melis
You need to try the Nacho House in North Salt Lake, off Highway 89 and directly accross the street from the new city building. Great carne asada tacos and delicious home made food. Word of mouth has spread and the family just expanded into the space next door. Proof that if you make good food, good things happen.
Sounds good. I will have to see if I can make it up there sometime soon to try the tacos!
Thanks for the recommendation!
The company I work for is looking in to some food trucks and taco stands for us to have come around everyday around noon it would be a very potential place for them to make money as there are no close resturants around We are located in taylorsville couple blocks from I-15 and 4500 south if you know anyone or information on anyone that would like to come out that would be great if you could send me there contact information Thanks

Hey! Do you visit many cafes? You should check out Real Foods Market in Sugarhouse. There is a cafe inside. They have wild caught Alaskan salmon tacos and Kambucha braised apple pork tacos. All organic non GMO/MSG super awesome people. I love it. They are locally owned and try to use as much local products as possible. Lots to learn about meat and dairy products made in Utahs! Perfect spot for lunch! Check it out! Its the goods for reals.
