Orem just scored a new late-night snack stop. Elote Town, a snack-focused Mexican concept from the team behind Jurassic Tacos, has quietly slipped into a small storefront near University Place, adding another quick-service option to the busy corridor. City officials tipped locals off with a short reel announcing the opening.
Orem City Announcement
The City of Orem Government dropped a Facebook reel on Tuesday declaring, "We are so excited to welcome Elote Town to Orem!" and noting that the shop will "run deals throughout the week," according to the City of Orem Government. The post served as the first public heads-up about the opening and offers a quick glimpse of the new storefront.
From Jurassic Tacos To Elote Town
According to Elote Town, the concept comes from Chef Fernando Felix, the culinary mind behind Jurassic Tacos, Sinaloa Town, and EM Café. The brand leans into tiendita-style Mexican snacks, including elotes and esquites, and is positioned as a franchise-ready operation. Felix's early success with Jurassic Tacos has already built a local fan base, as outlined in Voyage Utah.
Where To Find It
The Orem location is listed at 1064 S 750 E, according to Uber Eats. The shop sits next door to Kluck's Krispy Chicken at 1066 S 750 E, per Kluck's Krispy Chicken, and is a short drive from the University Mall's Cinemark theater, according to Cinemark.
Menu And Weekday Deals
Local delivery menus show the expected headliners like elote and esquites, alongside sweets and playful snack bowls. Items are listed under names such as "Elote & Esquites" and "Fresas & Sweet Treats." Those offerings appear on DoorDash, which also allows customers to order for pickup or delivery. The city's reel likewise noted that the shop plans to run weekly deals for visitors.
What This Means For Orem
Elote Town's arrival adds another chef-driven, quick-service option along the University Parkway corridor and taps into a growing local appetite for snack-focused Mexican concepts. Elote Town states that the brand is built to scale and is targeting growth through franchising, which could translate into additional Utah County locations if the Orem spot takes off quickly.
