Salt Lake City Recommendations?
I know this is an old topic, but for anyone reading it for suggestions on where to eat, I thought I'd add my 2cents.
I've never been able to figure out what all they hype is about when it comes to the Red Iguana. It's good, but seriously, there is much better mexican food in SLC.
my 2 favorite Mexican places are Miramar (300 W. 1300 S.) and Mi Ranchito (State & 2700 S.) I highly recommend the Chile Verde at Miramar and the Enchiladas de mole at Mi Ranchito.
Some of my other favorites are:
Thai Siam 1435 South State St.
Thai Garden 4410 S 900 East
Sawadee 754 East South Temple
The Golden Phoenix (Chinese) State & 1084 South
in the Gateway:
The Dodo for sure & don't leave w/o dessert, especially if they have the chocolate marzipan cake (can't remember what they call it, but I think it starts with an L)
Costa Vida is yummy, but it's a chain that you can find in many cities, although it is a "spin-off" of the original local Cafe Rio (400 S 500 E -ish) They're both good though!
Crown Burger & Apollo Burger are very similar, owned by brothers I think.
Hires & Litza's Pizza are local joints that are good if you're looking for a local hamburger or pizza joint (7th south & 7th East) If you're eating a burger, fries or onion rings at a local restaurant, make sure you try the fry sauce - yes, it's usually just catchup & mayo, but it's very good. The Training Table has a version with BBQ sauce & mayo which is seriously the best thing they sell lol!
Looking for ice cream after dinner? The Iceberg (3900 S 900 E) has fantastic shakes or Nielsen's Frozen Custard in bountiful is also a local favorite (570 W 2600 S. 15 minutes north of SLC)
