Zion National Park - any suggestions?
Zion is absolutely breathtaking and the town of springdale (just outside the park) is very quaint, but, for the most part the food is disappointing.
The one exception is The Whiptail Grill, in the former gas station directly opposite flannigans inn. very tasty authentic mexican with integrity. the fare is light, the ingredients are fresh, the menu is thoughtful, the flavors are bold and vibrant, and the menu is refreshingly restrained. the chef clearly knows what he is doing, and I say this as an LA native who loves to sample east los angeles's finest mexican restaurants and taco trucks. the couple "higher end" restaurants in springdale- parallel eighty eight is a good example - are muddled "fusion" joints with way too many ingredients and bizarre flavor pairings.
