Wahoo’s

19 Dec

We were downtown to get some holiday shopping done so we decided to go to Wahoo’s for lunch. After asking a bunch of questions, the person who was helping us brought me out a list of their gluten-free items. I ended up getting the taco platter with a carnitas and a fish taco. The black beans and rice are GF. These were quite good and quite filling.

Carlitos

18 Dec

Corn, black beans, tomatoes and cilantro are the makings of a tasty salsa that is served at Carlitos. Since this was the location of our first date, it will always hold a special place in our hearts. We started with some nachos which were quite good.

There is something about a little Mexican flag sitting in your food that makes it that much more festive. I was going to get the shrimp tacos but the waiter informed me that they are breaded and have flour tortilla strips. Instead of getting something and making alterations to it, I decided to just get the steak tacos. They are served on fresh corn tortillas.

Between the nachos and these tacos, I was only able to finish about half of the dish, but it was really good. If I wasn’t so full, I would have gone next door to try on some clothes at Diani.

Tarahumara

13 Dec

You would think that after eating an entire pizza, I would be full for the day. Clearly, you do not know me well. For dinner on our first night in Utah, we went to Tarahumara. I had the shrimp tacos with corn tortillas. These were awesome. They came with a generous side of rice and beans. One of the best features of this restaurant is their salsa bar. It features over 20 made-fresh-daily salsas. Yum.

Los Arroyos

2 Dec

We had to meet with someone on Coast Village Road today, so we went to Los Arroyos afterwards for lunch. I had the Rajas con Queso. It includes two corn tortillas with grilled pasilla chiles and onions with monterey jack and queso fresco cheese melted on top. You then have the option of a side of caesar salad or rice and beans. I topped mine with the chipotle salsa they have which is quite good. I would just be very careful describing what you can and can’t have to your waiter. Our particular waitress didn’t seem as on top of things as I would want her to be. However, I have had the dish before so I knew what I could and couldn’t have.
