"try somewhere new to eat"

Last Friday was, "try somewhere new to eat date night" and our choice turned out to be a delicious one. Mountain West Burrito is a new Mexican Restaurant on State Street in north Provo/South Orem and it had been recommended by a friend at work.

There were elaborate plans to pick up dinner with our good friends the Saltzmans and then hop on our bikes and ride down the Provo River trail for a picnic dinner. The weather even cooperated with our plans and it was sunny and beautiful outside. However, when it was discovered that we were all ravenously hungry right THEN, those plans were thrown aside and we just ate right there at the gas station-turned-restaurant. It really was kind of funny to pull up to a pump to park and then walk inside to the little restaurant.

My roasted veggie (RV) burrito on a whole wheat tortilla, accompanied by the most delicious tortilla chips and salsa. Yum.
Overall, everyone was pleased with their meal. It was nothing like the Bennett-Saltzman Iggy's fiasco of 2010 (truly a disaster for all involved). The food was all fresh, all of their produce is locally grown, it wasn't too expensive, and it was delicious! When you have a second and want a quick lunch or dinner, you should try it.

We've been doing the "try a new restaurant" thing once a month with work friends about about 2 years now, so if you need recommendations for fun places, let me know!
