Tacos Garay
Salt Lake City, UT
Reminds me of the taco stands I loved in Mexico City. The tortillas are handmade and the al pastor is perfection.
Chunga's
Salt Lake City, UT
The carne asada burrito reminds me of the street food vendors I grew up with. Authentic, no-frills, incredible flavor.
Pho 777
Salt Lake City, UT
Pho 777's broth is the closest I've found to what I had in Saigon. Star anise and cinnamon dialed in just right.
Tosh's Ramen
Salt Lake City, UT
The depth of flavor in their tonkotsu rivals what I had in Osaka. Not an exaggeration.
Takashi
Salt Lake City, UT
Takashi reminds me of sushi spots in Tokyo. Fresh fish, minimal fuss, maximum flavor.
Saffron Valley
Salt Lake City, UT
Saffron Valley reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The butter chicken has the right amount of fenugreek and the naan is properly tandoor-charred. This is the most authentic Indian food I've found in Utah.
Chanon Thai Cafe
Salt Lake City, UT
Chanon reminds me of the pad thai I had in Chiang Mai. They use tamarind paste properly and don't oversweeten it like so many places do.
