Street Tacos Don Joaquin
Mexican · Provo · 150 W 1230 N
Street Tacos Don Joaquin sells authentic street tacos at the cheapest end of the Provo market, and this site's cheap-eats coverage names it first more often than any other kitchen in the city.
Where it is
On 1230 North, a block and a half west of University Avenue and roughly twelve blocks north of Center Street.
Provo addresses are grid references rather than house numbers in the usual sense: they count outward from the origin at Center Street and University Avenue, one hundred to a block. Our guide to how Utah addresses actually work explains why the same number means a different place in the next city over.
What we know about it
It occupies a specific position in our food writing: the place cited when the question is genuinely about price rather than about value framed politely. Our budget guides pair it with Guru's Cafe and the campus food trucks as the honest bottom of the market, where the cooking is the reason to go rather than a compromise made for the bill.
It sits on 1230 North, on the stretch that also holds One Hundred Eighty Street Tacos -- two separate taco businesses on the same short run of road, which is the kind of thing an address-decoding directory exists to keep straight.

The durable facts, and the ones we refuse to carry
- Name: Street Tacos Don Joaquin
- Address: 150 W 1230 N, Provo, Utah
- Cuisine: Mexican
- Where we read the address: our own page, not a third-party listing
- How we know the city: the only pages naming it are scoped to a single city in their own titles
We do not publish opening hours, prices, phone numbers or ratings for any venue in this directory. Those are the facts that go stale, and a directory carrying them is wrong within a season while still looking authoritative. For hours, ask the restaurant.
