Laura’s Kitchen
At Laura’s Kitchen in Provo you can get more tacos for your money on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when the price is $0.99 instead of $1.50. It’s something to consider if you enjoy taqueria-style tacos, with corn tortillas, fresh fixings at the salsa bar, and authentic Mexican meats: asada (beef), carnitas (pork), chorizo (chicken) and pastor (pork) and more. There’s even tripe (beef stomach) and lengua (beef tongue), if that’s how you roll. Laura’s also offers many other Mexican favorites on an everyday basis, including torta and tostadas, and has an expanded menu on weekends, with enchiladas, sopes, tamales, pozole and more.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries
The menu at Five Guys Burgers and Fries is pretty much stated in its title. Throw in four different kinds of hot dogs, a trio of sandwich offerings and fountain drinks, and you’ve got the whole shebang covered. This would be a great place to work as a teenager — with the classic rock playing over the loudspeakers, and the cooks and greeters pointedly conversing loudly and yelling out orders. The joint fairly bubbled with a boisterous energy. It would be hard to go wrong with any burger, and we really loved our Bacon Cheeseburger. One great thing about Five Guys is that all the toppings are free, so you can truly have it your way.
