Intriguing food, colorful vibe and star tequilas make it easier to accept the high final tab at Salt Lake City's new Alamexo Cantina

He recently debuted a sister spot, called Alamexo Cantina, in the 9th and 9th district, adding regional Mexican flavor to a lineup of American, Thai, Italian and Middle Eastern fare found on 900 South.

He nailed the lively, vibrant vibe, with the space’s Mexican-tiled bar and colorful walls — painted mustard, red and deep purple, with the fourth made up of dozens of nooks filled with lighted candles.

The ambience is great for a drink from an extensive menu of margarita options and accompanied by endless house-made chips and excellent guacamole.

Many of the main dishes intrigue with bright and surprising flavors.
