Restaurant Morelia 

6098 S. State St, Murray UT 

Mexican

Friday 6:24 pm 

$18.28 for two

We arrived and were told there would be a 15 minute wait.  There were three other couples and a small family waiting as well.  We were seated in 6 minutes.  While this was quite impressive, the place where we were sitting was fairly hot.  

The chips and salsa was good, not too spicy, but the salsa was heavy on cilantro.  Not either of our favorite flavor.  

Our server was Niltza and she was quite nice and attentive, even though the restaurant was quite packed and busy.  (Which made it also very much on the noisy side).  They even brought a pitcher of water for us, which is always something which will impress the both of us to no end.  

The menu was nice and Kelly was very excited about the make your own combo option!  she ordered a combo 3, which is a bean tostada, cheese enchilada, and she substituted the chili verde for a bean and cheese burrito.  Kim ordered a bean and cheese chimichanga with no tomatoes or lettuce.  We were impressively served by 6:49.   

The rice that came with Kim's meal was rather tasteless.  Kelly's cheese enchilada had so much cheese, she couldn't find her tortilla.  She said, "I love a lot of cheese, but I do like a tortilla."

Our total bill for two entrees was $18.28.

We have to give this three forks, even though the service was fast and friendly.  The heat, noise, and overall taste of the meal had to bring us down a few forks.  Kelly said she'd not go back again on purpose, and Kim is not interested in returning.  

Guadalahonky's

Guadalahonky's Restaurant

136 East 12300 South Draper, Utah

Dinner

Saturday 7:20pm

$35.54 for three

 

This is actually one of Kelly's favorite restaurants, so obviously it's going to get 5 forks!  Kim may have given it four forks, but only because the air conditioning was broken that day and it was quite warm.  The cleanliness also wasn't up to her standards, but almost.  

We took our vegan friend, Kendall, this time, so there was going to be some proving to do.  They did quite well.  We arrived at 7:20 and were seated in three minutes, even though we requested a circular booth rather than what was readily available.  Our server was Rochelle, and she was nice and attentive, and apologized for the broken air conditioning.  

At Mexican restaurants, Kim is hard to please with the chips and salsa, but Guadalahonky's passed her test.  The salsa was quite good, in her opinion, which means it tasted right and was not too spicy.  Readers should be aware that "spicy" to Kim is likely not spicy to most.  It's always a treat when the chips and salsa pass the Kim test! 

 

Our orders were hard to fill, but Guadalahonky's was nearly perfect.  Kim ordered a pulled beef chimichanga with enchilada sauce and found it quite delicious.  Kelly ordered a veggie chimichanga (this is one of the few places she can get one of these) without peppers and onions, and the filling is actually from a mix.  The cooks had to pick out the peppers and onions to fill this order, and they did it!  She also ordered it with guacamole on the side and no sauce.   Kendall ordered veggie fajitas with cheese and sour cream on the side (to share with Kelly, of course).  This restaurant filled the requests without a hitch.  We were served our meal at 7:49, only having to wait 20 minutes.  

The only complaint was when Kendall had to order more tortillas for his fajitas, as they only delivered three with his order.  He paid $1.49 for three more.  

Our total bill was $35.54 for three entrees, no appetizers and no desserts.  We felt it was a decent price for the meal we received and enjoyed.  This is definitely a place we'll visit again!
