Chicken y Carnitas Guerrero | Our Story

Fresh, Homemade, Two Ways

Chicken y Carnitas Guerrero was built around a simple idea: do two things with total dedication to Mexican tradition. We've never wavered from that. Our chicken is the heart of it all. Marinated and cooked fresh every day, it comes out juicy, smoky, and full of flavor in every bite. It's the dish our regulars come back for, and the one we're proudest to put on your plate. Nothing here is frozen or shortcut. We make our food the homemade way, from scratch, the same way it's been done in kitchens across Mexico for generations. Fresh ingredients, real recipes, and time-honored care go into everything we serve. Whether it's the chicken or the carnitas, you're getting food made with pride and served with heart. Come taste the difference that fresh and homemade makes.
The Promise in Our Name

The Promise in Our Name

We didn't build a sprawling menu — we built mastery around chicken and carnitas. Every decision in our kitchen comes back to those two dishes and the Mexican tradition behind them.
The Craft Behind Each Plate

The Craft Behind Each Plate

Our chicken goes over an open flame until the skin crackles and the meat stays impossibly juicy. The carnitas are slow-cooked the way they've always been — no shortcuts, just time and technique.
Tortillas Made Here, Every Day

Tortillas Made Here, Every Day

We press every tortilla in-house — warm, pliable, and fragrant the way a real tortilla should be. It's one of those details that sounds simple until you taste the difference.
Two Kitchens, One Tradition

Two Kitchens, One Tradition

We put down roots in Salt Lake City and Ogden, embedding ourselves in Utah's Spanish-speaking communities. These aren't corporate dining rooms — they're neighborhood spots where the food does the talking.
