Tour de Utah: Mountain West Burrito

If I were to tell you there was a great little restaurant in an old abandoned gas station that now shares it's space with a smoke shop would you try it?

Well there is, and you should.

It's called Mountain West Burrito. This place is absolutely delicious. It's fresh, local produce enhances the great flavors of their vegetarian friendly (but not limited to) menu.

I got the crisp taco, which was delightful. I'll tell you what I was eyeing though...the chicken nachos looked amazing and did not disappoint. They were delectable.

The meat was moist and juicy, the tortillas fresh and delish. From what I could tell everyone in our party was extremely satisified.

How good does that look?

Now if all of that wasn't enough, the owner seems like a great guy and delivers awesome customer service, everything is under $10, and you'll be supporting a local business.

How does it get any better? I submit that it does not.

So if you want some solid Mexican food head over to Mountain West Burrito on 1796 North 950 West in Provo Utah (right off state coming down the hill from Orem) and enjoy!

If you check in with face book they'll even give you a free chips and salsa which guess what? They're awesome too...go figure.

Tour de Utah: Slab Pizza

Coach and I (and a few choice friends) have started a eating tour of Utah.

This started a while back as a result of gathering to visit one of our recent favorite finds.

Slab Pizza

We started thinking we should pick places around the valley, lesser known, (preferably cheap) rare find kind of joints, try them together and rate them accordingly.

We've been to a few now and I feel like I need to start documenting my thoughts to share with all of you.

So starting with our first stop...Slab Pizza.

How I love thee, let me count the ways.

There's been a lot of hype about Pizzeria 712, and as much as I love the Heirloom Family of Eateries I haven't been blown away by much of anything but the price at 712.

If you know me you know that I love good food and know good food.

I will never steer you wrong.

So the name Slab refers to the way it's served in slabs instead of slices. They only come in one gigantic size which equals a quarter of the pizza. Mmmm...so take a posse and share a variety of flavors amongst the group.

Slab has a diverse menu of classic favorites and funky new combos.

I of coarse was loving me some Veggie/Pepp/Sausage and the Hawaiian (which you can get with SPAM btw, not that I would...yuck) but that's boring so here's what you really need to try...

Rosemary, Potato, + Bacon, Pulled Pork, or maybe some Buffalo Wing Pizza (a favorite among the men).

You won't be sorry.

Their chill atmosphere, fresh local fare, good prices, ever changing specials menu, and quite possibly the best pizza crust I've ever had will get you returning again and again.

They are located at 669 East 800 North in Provo just east of the duck ponds tucked down and around the corner from JDawgs (another cult provo fav).

So check it out and check back for our next stop of the Tour de Utah.
