Who We Are

Originally founded as Molcasalsa, Harry and Sylvia Bidwell planted roots in Millcreek, Utah, in 1995 and began their journey in the restaurant industry alongside their family. Over time, they passed the torch to their daughter Jennifer and her husband Hector Uribe, who continued the tradition under a new name - Hector’s Mexican Food.

For 27 years, Hector’s has served loyal locals, visiting skiers, and adventurers from across the Salt Lake Valley. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit,  the Uribe family made the difficult decision to close their doors for good, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter.

After a brief hiatus, their passion for sharing hearty Mexican cuisine and creating community experiences has brought them back, ready to welcome both new and familiar faces with unforgettable flavors!
