are tons of mid-tier options. What makes the Mexican food scene good is there are good options at each price point.

Francisco’s in Farmington. Maria’s on 33rd South.

Bluforever

We like Maria's too. It's a solid local Mexican place priced right. Real Taqueria, Lone Star, Los Cuscos are also

We like Real Taqueria also. Have not been to others. Love Maria’s Chile verde.

Bluforever

Mar 18, 10:37pm

I hope Maria's on 33rd is better than Maria's on 106th S. The food at the one on 106th isn't even edible.

Maybe it is sentimental from living there - but Baja Cantina in Park City is

Worst part of visiting Utah is there is zero good salsa. Texas has spoiled me.

This New Mexican Restaurant is pretty good

Then you don’t know about the hot roja salsa at Real Taqueria

Try Milagros in Orem. Love their ribs and beef dishes

I didn't like it when I went. Maybe I got the wrong thing?

Ribs...best I've had in Utah. Beef enchiladas, tacos or burritos. It's not for

They are surprisingly good. You wouldn't expect that from a place like that

Hypnotoad

Mar 18, 10:52pm

I'll give that a try. Quite often you have to find the right thing at a place, where other things may suck.

Sol agave in American fork is easily the best.
