Sonora Grill

To anyone who lives in Utah . . .

If you haven't eaten there . . . you should. (It's located in Ogden- right next to Brian's gym.) Brian & I ate there last night and I was overwhelmed with amazing food and drinks. I have never been this passionate about a restaurant before. But seriously-- wow. They're lunch menu averages in the $8-$12 range, and the dinner menu in the $12-$22 range. So it's perfect for a night out (or a date!).

My Favorite Entree:
STACKED ENCHILADA WITH CHÍLE RELLENO $16.95
We went to Sonora Grill last night only because I was craving this entree so badly. I love it. It just knocked mashed potatoes out of my "favorite food" spot. The stuffed chile it comes with isn't my favorite- but only because I don't like anything spicy.

Brian's Favorite Entree:
CARNE ASADA Tacos $13.95
I don't have much commentary on these b/c it's Brian's favorite. But I have had them before too and they were really good. It comes with a lime to squeeze the juice onto it. So good!

The Most Amazing Drink:
Aguas Frescas $2.99
Okay- I could probably do a whole blog about this drink alone. They make these drinks with fresh fruit and they do a different one each day. Last night the flavor was "Raspberry Ginger Lemonade." I have never had a drink I loved so much. It was sweet like a raspberries, then had a hint of ginger in the aftertaste. Amazing!! If it weren't so tacky, I'd bring several empty Snapple bottles with me next time and just ask them to fill 'em up. =)

Okay, as if I wasn't impressed enough by the end of my meal, we got:
Banana Split $7 vanilla ice cream, sautéed plantains, cajeta, chocolate sauce
I know $7 is a bit pricey for a dessert (at least I wouldn't usually pay that much). But after having this once, I don't know if I can go there again without getting it!
