Holy Guacamole!  That’s the first thing that comes to mind when writing this post, because this place literally has some of the best guacamole that I’ve ever tasted.  And they don’t just have one type of guacamole, they have five different varieties as well as a “flavor of the day” that they make from scratch.  Oh yeah, this is...

A solid choice for St. Louis area quick service Mexican food.  I was traveling in the area about 6 months ago, and at meetings across the street at Monsanto Headquarters.  A couple of the ladies there said that they eat there all the time.  I can’t say I am surprised after sampling the wares. Moe’s has some awesome tasting chips, guacamole, and...

When it comes to Mexican food, this place is an absolute diamond in a land of candy machine plastic finger gems.  I’m really starting to get stingy when it comes to where I go for Mexican food.  Basically, I don’t want my Mexican food to taste like IKEA furniture.  Let me explain.  IKEA furniture is all “do it yourself”  there...

Kinda a funny story on how we stumbled upon Milagros as our dinner choice on black Friday.  After a visit to the new outlet shops on Traverse Mountain, I wanted to use my Groupon to nearby D Boyz BBQ.  I plugged it into my iPhone maps and away we went.  On the way to the BBQ place we noticed this Milagros place off the side of the road, and my wife commented...

I’m kind of drifting into new territory with this post.   There are two things that I really don’t do a lot of, and they are A – I don’t do many national chains, only local places, and B – I don’t do many places that do seafood.  I’m breaking with traditional a bit with this story because I think Rubio’s Fresh...

If my memory serves me correctly, this is the 3rd different restaurant that has been at this location right behind Jordan Commons in Sandy.  The building itself is pretty cool.  There are a lot of neat features like ceiling fans that run on a belt system, or big wooden barrels right by the entrance.  Cantina certainly makes for a relaxing dining atmosphere...

I’ve been excited to come visit Frida Bistro ever since I tried their Salpicon at Farmer’s Market a few Saturdays ago.  Salpicon is made of a chilled shredded beef, panella cheese, jalapeno, carrots, and avocado.  It was by far, the best thing I tried or sampled that day at Farmer’s market.  As I was sampling the salpicon, I noticed some...

You really don’t have to take my word for this place, just look at the voting.  192 votes on Urbanspoon and a whopping 98% “liked” this place.  That is the highest percentage of any place I’ve ever reviewed.  What makes this place special though?  You know how here in the States you have tons of restaurants that sell Mexican,...

Peppers  Freaking Cantina baby.  It was a tough choice for my favorite St. George dive, but I’m pretty happy with this choice.  My first night in St. George I got in my car looking for anywhere to get some groceries for the week I would be staying.  I finally found an Albertson’s open.  After grabbing some chips and drinks (just the essentials)...

Gather together the experts and ask the question “What is the best restaurant in Salt Lake City?”  It won’t matter what type of food you like, that conversation would have to start with Red Iguana. Red Iguana has been open since 1985 and has won award after award after award.  Urbanspoon rates it #1, Trip Advisor rates it #1, Yelp rates it...
