Moving south from central Salt Lake City, as busy streets and towering apartment buildings give way to quiet neighborhoods and green yards, the Holladay neighborhood lies under the protective shadow of Mount Olympus. Fácil Taqueria is one of the newest additions to this fast-growing corner of the city, although it’s in no way a new member of the culinary community.

Fácil Taqueria started as a mobile part of the city, serving tacos from a truck and sharing their passion for smoke, spirits, and local farms at events in neighborhoods throughout the valley. They easily cemented their place among Salt Lake City’s foodies’ favorite meals, and soon were turning their ambitions towards physically cementing themselves in a brick and mortar space in Holladay.

The layout is completely open, with all of the action taking place in the same room. Keeping the room open allowed for Fácil to maintain the personal connection between their food and their customers, and gave the design team opportunities to get creative with breaking up areas of different uses.
