Every time I go home the first place I want to go to eat is La Puente. They have the best smothered burritos, and I've found it hard to actually find smothered burritos outside of Utah. What is a smothered burrito you ask? Well the best way to describe it is to say it's like a burrito stuffed with a thinner chili verde with delicious pork chunks in it, and then the same inside is covered over the top of the burrito, "smothering" it. I like mine with cheese and onions on top as well, and a side of rice. That along with a Dr. Pepper is the perfect meal. I think I might like it even more than I like pizza, and I love pizza.
I managed to eat three smothered burritos in the week and a half I was home. The family went to La Puente for dinner my first night home. There were previously only locations in Salt Lake but the family is delighted the the restaurant has finally expanded and now there's a location in Layton which is just 15 minutes away from our house AND there's another location in Ogden on 12th Street which is only 5 minutes away. It's pretty exciting.
The family also likes to order a large guacamole salad to go with all our food. Typically the guac needs some extra salt, but it's really good and they always make it fresh.
The pricing is great, you can get a smothered burrito with rice and beans for $5.99 and it's a ton of food, enough for two meals (because of the rice and beans).
La Puente was also the last place I ate at before leaving Utah. I really wish I could figure out how to make the sauce because then I'd make my own smothered burritos at home, but I suppose it would never be quite the same.
