Doña Mary Mexican Grill

Restaurants are a dime a dozen in Utah Valley, especially on State Street in Orem. Within that culinary clutter, there’s a Mexican restaurant that deserves your patronage: Doña Mary Mexican Grill in north Orem. The burritos — namely, the California and Chorizo Breakfast burritos — are some of the best we’ve tasted. With low prices and an excellent salsa bar too, Doña Mary Mexican Grill deserves to stand out from the rest.

Farr’s Fresh

You don’t have to go far for a fresh new take on dessert-disguised-as-breakfast decadence. We recently visited Farr’s Fresh in American Fork to pamper ourselves with the Saturday morning-only special: all-you-can-eat waffles and ice cream for $4.99. Whether for a special family celebration or just for the heck of it, this sumptuous Saturday sit-down is only offered from 8 to 11 a.m. For clarification’s sake, the waffles and toppings are all you can eat, but you only get one pass through the ice cream (frozen custard, sorbet, yogurt) section using one smaller cup. Still, most of our party were able to spread that ice cream over two waffles, which, with an array of toppings, left us fully filled. If you’re looking for an affordable way to splurge on a fanciful family breakfast, be sure to check out Farr’s Fresh in A.F.
