I Love My State!

Nick and I love our beautiful state! Utah, we love thee! It is a great place to live. Utah is up and coming peeps! There are some really amazing local places here that are owned by some amazing people. I have been wanting to start sharing our favorite local places here on ze blog for a while and I am finally getting around to it. Support local! Wherever you are! 

I am sharing one of my all time favorite places to eat: Hector's Mexican Food. OH Hector's. What can I say besides if you are local or visiting go there now. Like now. I have been eating at Hector's for 12 years. Way back when it was Molca Salsa. Lets get the business out of the way before I gush anymore:

Hours: Monday-Saturday lobby- 9 am until midnight, drive thru is open until 3 am, closed Sundays

Menu: Pretty large. It includes burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tortas, quesadillas, chile rellenos etc...

Price: $

Location: 2901 E. 3300 S. Salt Lake City, Utah

            

If you are local then you may recognize the building as an old Eat-a-Burger. It has had a little make over since those days. It has indoor and outdoor seating. The seating is pretty limited. So limited that we won't usually go on weekend nights after about seven. It is a mad house! 

The sweet sweet menu. The kitchen is open and you can see all of your food being made. They use all fresh and high quality ingredients. Which I love! You can get vegetarian options.  

These are their chips and salsa. The salsa they use is actually pico de gallo and the chips are fried up fresh for you on the spot. 

This is the carne asada fries which are a local favorite. Between Nick and I we have tried basically the whole menu. You can't go wrong with any thing with their carne asada!

This is the money shot! BAM! Their hot sauce is made fresh everyday. It is hot and delicious. It doesn't have that vinegar flavor that most hot sauce has. I once told them that they should bottle it and sell it. They laughed and said they can barely make enough to last each day. It is that good. 

We are huge fans of Hector's. We have gotten to know the family that owns it over the years pretty well. Not only is it amazing food but the people are awesome. They are the kind of people that we will happily give our business to as long as they are around. 

We recommend the fish tacos, shredded beef tacos, bean and cheese burrito- with plenty of hot sauce, carne asada burrito, super nachos, chile relleno burrito, california burrito, carne asada tacos....... you get the idea. You will be happy with anything you get there.
