Taco Burrito Mexican Restaurant

Score one for the folks at Taco Burrito for simplicity in branding when it comes to the name of their restaurant. And what you get at this delightful Mexican restaurant is friendly service and excellent food at good prices. Definitely order a side of guacamole as this chunky, delicious concoction complements almost everything on the menu, from the complimentary chips and salsa to the Smothered Burrito and kids quesadilla. There’s been several Mexican restaurants to occupy this exact Orem location over the years, but we hope Taco Burrito is here to stay.

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.
