Inferno Cantina

Best huka downtown,
No cheap sheesha, all top brands.
Custom made, and no additional charges for coals.

This place is under new management. Came on a Tuesday and they have $ 2 taco Tuesday, Tequilas, Coronas and Margaritas. Chips are fresh but a bit salty. I would recommend the fish and shrimp tacos with the watered down Coronas (after all this is Utah and you are a sinner if you have more than 3.2% alcohol beer, lame ass politicians). Not at all crowded but it was about 6:00pm.

This place used to have a lot of character. It wasn’t ever the cleanest, but the atmosphere made up for it. They used to have these awesome warpy concrete pillars with mosaics and liquor bottles stuck in them throughout the place, bottle cap tables, and a corona chandelier, but the new owners covered up everything that made it unique and now it looks like a Motel 6 lobby. Why cover up what makes you different? Now it’s just another crappy, dirty bar.

I went about 2 years ago after watching a UFC fight at Lumpys. My girlfriend and I made a bet with the owner and our drinks ended up paid for at the end of the night, who’s not going to love that! It was packed and everyone had a great time!

The old management was better. This place was always full on the weekends! Now I come here when I want to unwind or have a relaxed night with hookah.

Now called «The Office». Luke warm beer… dirty. Would not recommend to a drunk guy on a bender.

Good place to get a taco for lunch! Order the fish with rice and beans on the side.

Place is a mess. Women’s bathroom doors are all broken & only 1 sink works. Waiters & servers are under trained & have no knowledge of the menu. Food was bland & I found a large bone in the shredded chicken taco meat. Management is rude. Mr. Leprechaun behind the bar was the only saving grace. He got them 1 of the 2 stars I give it.

The place is cute. The staff is friendly and the food is great! What more could you ask for?
It’s a dive which is my type of place and on football sundays it’s dead. If you like having the bar to yourself this is the place to go.

Absolute worst Mexican food ever. Our waitress was so nice, but the service was sooo bad. It took almost an hour to serve a party of 3! Thankfully they took 50% off our bill but still didn’t make the matter better. Even the chips were crap! How do you mess up chips?

Worst place ever. Sticky floors make it hard to walk. Pool table did not work. Service is awful. One of the bartenders is quite bi-​polar screaming at paying customers. And they are racists. The bartender had one customer labeled as «Asian» on his receipt even though she had his card and knew his name. Another guy got kicked out as soon as he entered the bar. He asked what he did and the employee said it was «because you were talking to a black guy outside». Wow. Did not know that was a crime.
There are many more bars around that you could go to instead of here.

Turned away because of what I was wearing. Thick grey t shirt pants and shoes. They were letting gang members in. Nice, Will never return. I will say though thanks for saving me the cover charge and the price of a drink I would have bought. Tip to the ID checking guy. Buy QDEL after summer. Sell before mid January. Ha Ha Ha

The salsa tasted like cold tortilla soup. The chips tasted very strange. The salad I ordered was nothing more than bell peppers, chicken, and a couple pieces of moldy peppers. Waitress was great. Service can’t keep the doors open though. They need an intervention in the kitchen. The menus text needs to be a larger font. Maybe chef Ramsey can help this place when it’s not a club.

Excellent service! Wednesday night there is a Patron Margarita special for just $ 5! Plus, $ 4 shots of Patrol. Great deal for the city. They serve fresh tortilla chips and salsa at the bar complimentary.
The décor is so unique! I just loved the colorful mosaic columns around the restaurant. They were filled with natural seashells and bottles. While I was there everyone wrote the bar notes and someone got up on top of the bar to place the messages in one of the big bottles on the column.
If I’m every in Salt Lake again I will def. be visiting this place again!

Came here after dinner with a sizable group to get some drinks in the early evening, and had an experience that progressively plummeted downhill after the first mediocre margarita.
Our waitress (who was wonderful and entertained us throughout the entire evening, even after we relocated outside) suggested the «freshest» margarita, claiming it was the best one on the menu since it was made with real lime juice and agave — but it was really just a standard tasting margarita. Not impressed.
As time passed, the music continually grew louder and louder — and the lights grew more and more dim — until we decided to head out to the patio area to escape the deafening music (keep in mind, at this point, the only patrons were other business folks from the convention we attended — no one was in the mood for the blossoming nightclub atmosphere).
Turns out, this joint turns from a so-​so Mexican restaurant into a cheesy nightclub. We tried to adapt to our rapidly changing surroundings for as long as possible, but were eventually driven to retreat after flocks of half-​naked kids bombarded us with pushy attitudes and a smog of cigarette smoke. Definitely not a good spot to spend the evening if you’re not a drunk college kid.
This place gets bonus points for the chips and salsa though — the salsa itself wasn’t anything to write home about, but I love that the chips were whole fried tortillas you broke apart yourself. Pretty unique!

Service was great, food was okay. I did like the giant chips but the drink prices… really? hahaha the margarita price is a joke for the size and quality.

Purely as a bar, this place isn’t too bad if you’re here early or on a weeknight. Drinks aren’t too pricey and the selection of beers is reasonable. There are a bunch of TVs so you can watch whatever game or show you please, and the staff is more than willing to accommodate your requests. Cute bartenders and waitresses, too, so bonus there.
The problem is Friday/​Saturday nights after about 10:00. Lots of what are alternately referred to as «Delta Bravos,» «Silky Boners,» «Sweet Bros» or what have you. I feel like I’m back in Point Pleasant waiting for the Springsteen cover band, only it’s 10 degrees outside and the DJ is playing Sugar Ray. What. The. Hell.
I see a lot of people ordering food here. I haven’t, but the fact that so many do must mean it’s not terrible, right? I guess people eat at McDonald’s, though, so maybe that theory doesn’t hold much water.
Okay, short summation: nice «happy hour» spot for a couple drinks after work, if only Utah had happy hour. Food might be worth investigating. Musclehead/​shlore 30-​something nightmare on weekends.

This is a RESTAURANT REVIEW. I know nothing about the «dance club» part of this business.
I would give this place 1 star. But one of my dining companions said these were the best fish tacos they’ve ever had and the «world’s freshest margarita» was the best ‘rita they’ve ever tasted. So, I’ll bump them up to 2 stars.
Other than those two high points, our visit to Inferno Cantina was a disaster.
The «service» was extremely slow. It took forever to get anything. I had to go the bar and put in our drink order myself.
When my food finally arrived, it was luke warm. They thought it was very important to deliver everyone’s food at the same time, but they accomplished that at the expense of mine sitting around waiting for a while.
The rice was undercooked to the point of being crunchy in places.
My shredded beef taco was really good, except for the giant clump of fat right in the middle of it.
We were told two different times, «We don’t serve that kind of beer anymore.» Here’s an idea… TAKE IT OFF YOUR MENU! And the two beers in question were Sol and Corona Light. Not exactly «exotics,» especially for a Mexican restaurant.
The table was sticky, presumable from a spilled margarita. I just put a napkin over the sticky spot and it stuck there for the entire meal.
We ended up staying at this place for over two hours. We won’t be making that mistake again.

By the time I got here, I had already had about five White Gummi Bears and two Purple People Eaters (which I had to tell the bartenders how to make… Come on, Utah!) so I can’t say with 100% certainty that this place was amazing or terrible. This is what I do know:
Upon arriving, I ran to the dance floor where the music was borderline way too loud for even a club. You really couldn’t hear any of the words to the songs… but it was mostly hip-​hop. I was amidst throwing my hands in the air (and they stay there! Up down, up down, up down! ‘Cause all I do is win! And what not…), when I noticed someone playing the drums on the dance floor next to me wearing a gorilla mask.
If anyone can offer an explanation for that, I’d love to hear it! It was so creepy…
Any how, the dance floor was decent for Utah and this was the only place with a crowd that Saturday night, and every one was attractive albeit slightly snobbish. I wouldn’t come back here on purpose but I’d recommend it to barely 21-​somethings who are looking for a night of stooper.

Inferno Cantina. That one dance bar that is hot at night. Who knew that they served good ol’ Ameri-​exican food during the daytime?
I always thought that it was a party place that only opened at night, but nope! It is opened during the day as a restaurant for all ages. The food they serve is decent Americanized Mexican food and is the perfect place for large groups (anywhere from just two to fifteen people).
The atmosphere is clean and open with colored lights dangling from the ceilings and was surprisingly empty when I went for a birthday party; probably because not many people know that it is a restaurant by day. Nonetheless, the service was good and they checked regularly to make sure that everything went well.
Overall, it’s not a bad place to check out and I wouldn’t mind going back again. Now, I’m just waiting to see how the nightlife is like at this place.
