West Valley are pretty authentic. Just don't see there being a big enough market with the gringos to need to make it inauthentic

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

1/17/18 7:38pm

I don't relate to any part of Mexico.

Great, now I'm craving Red Iguana.

a priori

1/17/18 7:38pm

I'm sure there are some great SLC Mexican food joints.

Blue Iguana, Chungas...

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

soupie

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

fredetteaboutit13

1/17/18 7:39pm

I don't understand the appeal

fattycoug

Favorite place. Carne Asada burrito every time.

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

LiveCoug

1/17/18 7:42pm

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

A Drew Aitch

1/17/18 7:51pm

Except sopapillas

Zaphod

1/17/18 7:54pm

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

SuperTank

Uh, those are pretty stinkin large "areas."

Lip Gallagher

1/17/18 7:56pm

Some more stinky than others.

Zaphod

1/17/18 7:58pm

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

SuperTank

Southeast has amazingly bad Mexican food

nc-puma

1/17/18 8:23pm

No or very little good Mexican almost throughout the NE

jkccoug

1/17/18 9:22pm

The tweet is fine. Good Mexican options in Utah

Crush4

1/17/18 7:53pm

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

Nikomedes

1/17/18 7:56pm

Don't forget Taco Maker

Taco John's??

Not necessarily false it’s just the difference between

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

dixdog

1/17/18 8:07pm

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

A Drew Aitch

1/17/18 8:38pm

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

dixdog

1/17/18 8:45pm

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

yapacoug

1/17/18 9:08pm

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

fredetteaboutit13

1/17/18 8:11pm

utah mexican is fine. not better than most, but fine.

smokymountainrain

1/17/18 8:17pm

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

fattycoug

1/17/18 8:49pm

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

Pick-Six Coug

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

I will say Los Hermanos is terrible but Utahns seem to love it

nc-puma

1/17/18 8:41pm

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

1/17/18 9:19pm

Utah has some of my favorite Mexican food places.

Gerald-DeGroot

El Paisa in West Valley City. Drive past during dinner and you'll find it to

There is a great taco truck on State St in Richmond

Well I’m not one that concerns myself with “authentic” as much as...
