La Tormenta Restaurant

The food is just not very good here. Everything tastes old and reheated, nothing is fresh. Their al pastor is a mystery meat. ground into tiny unrecognizable pieces, with an ambiguous taste, fatty, with no sweetness. it made for a barely edible burrito. Tamale was soggy, pork wet and bland. Crispy taco, not much in it, meat underseasoned. Cheese enchiladas, surprisingly bland and bo-​ring. Flautas were undercooked and unrolled on me, and hardly had any chicken inside. They even once served me avocado spotting black, ugh. Their salsa verde is tasty with a nice punch of heat, but that alone isn’t enough to salvage cooking this poor.
Service is interesting here. it can get a bit clueless and discombobulated at times. Check your takeout orders, do the math in your head at the register, and speak up if something is wrong because they’re known to mess up orders. The lady managing the front can come off rude, but if you get her sarcastic nature, she really is a sweetheart.
Honestly I’m surprised La Tormenta has survived so long. Lack of immediate competition has helped. I remember ordering chicken tacos here as a kid and being disappointed that their shredded, stewed chicken at the time was dry and flavorless. They really haven’t improved much in eighteen years. Sad truth is even Rancherito’s serves fresher, tastier authentic Mexican food. I wish them the best and hope for improvement.

Authentic Mexican food. I’ve tried a wide array of items from their menu and never been disappointed. Friendly staff and amazing food.

Overall good food for the price. This is a taqueria with ample seating and they sell a wide array of Mexican candies as well. I ordered a carne asada burrito grande. It comes with all the good items inside like cheese and avocado, rice and beans. The cheese is not your typical melty cheese but the crumbly kind. My favorite part about the burrito was the spice! There was definitely some good heat in the pico they put in. The salsa they give you on the side also was nice and spicy. Every once in a while there was a piece of gristley meat but I think that’s to be expected for a burrito under $ 5. In general the meat was not overly fatty. Oh and it was HUGE. Did not come with chips which was a bit disappointing. The service was friendly and quick. I’d go back when craving a quick cheap burrito.

Hard to beat La Tormenta when it comes to Mexican Food in Cache Valley. The bisteca is on point.

Great, authentic, cheap, food. I really love this place and the people who work there are always very kind.

Honestly, I was expecting more… I’m visiting out of town… I tried the smothered burrito and just a little more flatter and it would’ve been a quesadilla. The steak was not great either, it was more like it was broiled steak as opposed to real BBQ steak. Oh well!

Prices are okay but the food was very bland. There is definitely better Mexican food at other places. Especially down in Salt Lake.

I went there several times for the chicken chimi (yum) but the last time I went there I stopped there on my lunch break hoping they wouldn’t be busy luckily they were dead. Even though I was the only customer sitting in that place I had to wait an unbelievable amount of time just to get my drink and chips brought to my table. They even served a couple that walked in a good 30 minutes after I had already ordered before they brought out my chimi. I had to go to the counter and ask how much longer it was going to be before I even got my drink. When my food finally arrived (once again after a couple who arrived much later then me) my chimi was burnt and barely edible. I was actually embarressed I put up with the terrible service after I was given such crappy food. Luckily the prices are low so I wasn’t out too much, although I was over 30 minutes late from lunch that day. why was I willing to wait so long? Because I was so looking forward to a good chicken chimi only to be given little more than garbage.

We walked on thinking that we were at super burrito, finding out that they went out of business and la tormenta rook it over. First off. Food was cold and taste horrible, and we has to sit there and watch spanish tv, and my blood sugar was low so i was going to make a purchase from the rack of snacks they sell while i waited for my food. Low and behold, everything on the rack was in spanish. This is america. We speak english here and not everyone can speak spanish or understand it. Horrible food. Dont go there.

Holy Crap. Who gave this restaurant 4 stars. They must be drunk. It’s a shame I have to give it one star. I’d rather give it none. There is only one restaurant I’ve eaten at my whole life worse than this. The service wasn’t terrible, the place seems clean, the people were nice but the food… holy mackerel… the food was awful. 24 hours later I’m still suffering from the over cooked beef enchilada. It’s been 14 years since I’ve lived in Logan so I don’t know which Mexican restaurants are good any more but I’m honestly telling you… this one is awful… do not go there. I wish someone would have written this for me. BTW, does La Tormenta mean «The Torment» in Spanish? If so, it fits.

La Tormenta best authentic Mexican food in Logan. This comes from a guys who has lived in south west region for more than 15 years. When you eat in a restaurant where the majority of people eating in there are this ethnicity you know its legit. Elpastor and Carne Asada are as good as I ever had. Not to mentioned the price for the quality is unreal. You have to go!

The girl who took our order was rude and seemed very annoyed that we didn’t know what we wanted upon walking in.
We then proceeded to wait for thirty minutes thinking it was getting ridiculous how long it was taking for a burrito and nachos to come out. Finally the girl at the counter noticed us and asked if we had been waiting a long time. Turns out they lost our order as we were informed when she finally brought us our waters. Then she comes right out with a burrito and just as I’m about to start cutting it she comes back and says she gave me the wrong thing and asked me if I’d touched it. She took it back to the kitchen and then walked out and gave it to a guy who had just come in and ordered.
When the food finally came out we were less than impressed. The refried beans had good flavor but the carne asada was chopped so small it was practically the same texture as ground beef. Also, the rice is flavorless.
When we paid we were pleased that it was cheap. It should have been free since they lost our order and we were there for an hour.
Needless to say we won’t be back.

Pros: inexpensive, friendly staff
Cons: food quality is right for the price, long wait for a simple order. Incredibly crowded. Décor is outdated and trashy.
Not the worst, probably better than most in the area. I am admittedly spoiled by amazing mexican restaurants back home in Sacramento.
Would I eat here again. Sure.

It’s not bad for logan! There pico is amazing, that’s if they actually give it to you when you do take out. (you have to make it very clear you want a side of pico or they wont give it to you) There rice and beans are good. My only complaint is probably the meat sometimes its good but sometimes every other bite is eating a piece of gristle which after awhile makes me sick to my stomach and not want to eat it anymore.

This is wonderful place for Logan Utah. The Mexican food is pretty authentic from what I know of. I love the carne Asada plate smothered burritos and their dollar tacos.

Favorite Mexican food in all of Cache Valley. Carne Asada plate is one of my favorites.

Totally decent Mexican for Cache Valley (still nothing compared to Red Iguana, but what is?). They are CHEAP! Lots to choose from! OPEN ON SUNDAYS!
The lady at the counter assured me that the beans and rice were vegetarian. I got an enchiladas plate with white cheese and corn tortillas, and it was pretty good. Hubby got a vegetarian burrito and it was HUGE! I like the condiment tray they bring out, especially the pico de gallo, and the caramelized onions!
I will return again for sure. I’d like to try out the other menu items they have for gluten free and vegetarian options.

Decent street food in Logan, you say? Yes, it’s true. Solid cabeza, lengua, and kickass adovada! All things relative, it’s in my top-​three Cache Valley eateries. You can’t go wrong with three or four tacos and a horchata to wash it down. Ever. Super cheap, super casual, just like a taqueria should be. Salsa rack is plentiful.
Needs: Beer. Everytime I’m there, my Negro Modelo lustmeter spikes.
Warning: Gringo patronage high, though staff surprisingly tolerant. Pleased that some of CV’s more insulated (both mentally and physically) individuals seem to be enjoying the place and giving it their money.

La Tormenta is one of my favorite places in town, and I return to it again and again. A full review and the complete menu are available on my blog…
Authentic tacos are $ 1 each and are available with many choices of filling, all topped with a pile of cilantro and onions. My favorite are the carnitas (sweet shredded pork) and the chorizo (spicy pork sausage), while my husband goes for the asada (steak) and the lengua (beef tongue). Tortas, the carne asada plate, smothered burritos, and tamales are other good choices. A paleta (ice cream bar) from the freezer case — coconut and creamy strawberry are my favorites — completes the meal. Our most recent, filling meal was $ 18 for three adults and two children.
The menu is not available online, so I photographed it and put it on my blog. Follow the link from my Unilocal profile.

This restaurant is the Gem of the town. I stopped here because of the reviews of my fellow Unilocalers. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL!
This place is as good as everyone says. Their carnitas are killer, and the tamales are delish. I ordered the carnitas enchilada, served with rice and re-​fried beans. The only complaint I had with the dish was that I was unable to get black beans instead of the re-​fried beans.
But the enchilada made up for it. Wow. I will have a cray-​cray for another one in a few days.
I hope to make it back here in a few months on my way to Jackson.
