Awesome place. Worth going to for a good time with friends. They host parties like nowhere else. Death Stars are a must. The help is awesome as well . *Kudos

Basic Mexican joint. Good chips , inexpensive , and the staff is helpful. I travel to SLC a lot for biz and always hit up the EC for their LOW RIDER MARGARITAS. Best margs anywhere including Texas.

Drink specials on Tuesdays and Thursday's.. The food is good. But the drinks make it my favorite place in the valley.

With the colder weather coming in, we decided to add Posole to our #menu! Come warm up with a cup today! #MexicanSoup

The Original Death Star is the drink to have. $8 gets you a giant round glass filled with vodka , Everclear and Bacardi 151 (and flavorings).

Order a "Death Star"...These cocktails are notorious for being poured a little heavier than UT laws allow.
