Okay--let's not kid around--ever since I moved from Utah, I've craved Red Iguana.

You're right, though...Utah County Mexican food is below average.

Nothing says authentic Mexico like a sweet pork burrito.

I'll take it over Carolinas

What people consider good Mexican food has a lot to do with what part of Mexico

mudpupper

1/17/18 7:37pm

Or what they consider Mexican food.

Fatalplacebo

I don't relate to any part of Mexico.

Have you been to Maria Bonita on 8th No in Orem?

I didn't like what I ordered. Used to live right down the street.

I don't understand the appeal

One thing I know for sure, Mexico has terrible Utahn food.

Yeah their green jello with grated carrots just doesn’t compare

Zaphod

Plenty of good places. Better than most Mexican places out east and NW. Sure

fattycoug

1/17/18 7:43pm

I'm from AZ. Maybe that's the problem.

fredetteaboutit13

1/17/18 7:47pm

Oh yea. That's it. If you've ever lived anywhere on the east coast, you'd love the choices in Ut.

I agree with this tweet. There is excellent authentic Mexican in Utah

You must not have lived in the Midwest, Southeast, northeast, northwest, Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, Asia etc

Uh, those are pretty stinkin large "areas."

Lip Gallagher

Some more stinky than others.

Well, within a couple hours driving distance of my house in any area I’ve lived I’ve yet to find a restaurant that

Southeast has amazingly bad Mexican food

nc-puma

No or very little good Mexican almost throughout the NE

The tweet is fine. Good Mexican options in Utah

Utah's got Taco Bell, Taco Time, and Del Taco. What more do you want?

Don't forget Taco Maker

I like the Mexican food in Utah better than in Texas.

dixdog

Lots of variety in Mexican food here in Houston.

CougarThug

1/17/18 8:13pm

I like Torchy’s. Chuy’s is a good chain too.

dixdog

1/17/18 8:39pm

You’re nuts it’s not even comparable. You must be going to the wrong places

A Drew Aitch

1/17/18 8:22pm

Nope. I’ve eaten a lot of good Mexican food in Texas, but I like Utah more

dixdog

1/17/18 8:34pm

Ok I question your palate but to each their own. Utah for me has

I lived on the border for two years. I ate at a lot of hole in the walls.

dixdog

Completely disagree. TX >>>>>>>>>>UT. Utah is better than most of US though

Also, people who are giving me a thumbs down probably think La Costa in AF

smokymountainrain

1/17/18 8:17pm

Definitely better than most. Probably not better than most of the Southwest

Bad food? FALSE. There are fresh made tortillas and every kind of Mexican

My Mexican sister-in-law agrees with Pick-Six Coug

Old Utahns love it. Only been twice in my many years here and it was like the we

fattycoug

1/17/18 8:56pm

Terrible if you're looking for authenticity, but if you look at it as American

dreamlvr

1/17/18 8:57pm

It still is worse than most Americanized Mexican restaurants, imo

fattycoug

Utah has some of my favorite Mexican food places.
