As others have said,…read moreparking can be challenging at Pioneer Park however there are several side streets and street parking within a couple of blocks from the park. We found a side street after getting some kolaches and it was an easy block walk to the park. There were a decent amount of vendors in the Park and they were also spread out enough so there was plenty of room to walk. Everything from fruits and vegetables, to food, fresh squeezed juices, products and fresh breads. We picked up a loaf of really fresh sourdough bread from Wandering Wheat. We also picked up some homemade jam from Jam It Up. A really fun way to spend the morning. It was early June so the weather was in the upper 60's in the morning. Perfect weather for us walking through the Farmers Market.

I got the Strawberry Matcha and it was delicious, not too sweet, and made with high-quality matcha. I also got a Cheesy Arepa from The Manjares. It was soooo good that I almost went back for a second one! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and probably the best Arepa I've ever had. Lastly, I got a focaccia from Dat Sour Dough. It was sweet, herby, and smelled incredible. There are some great vendors at this market! Worth the visit.

I've never had Korean food with spicy mayo before but it was alright. Next time I think I'll order it without sauce and ask for some of the level 8 chili sauce on the side or some kimchi for a more traditional KBBQ feel. I loved the Korean music they played in the outdoor dining area, and everything was clean and tidy.

Prepare yourself for a trip south of the border to the Mexican state of Michoacán located just under 100 miles west of Mexico City. There you will be in the one of several disputed origins of the melt-in-your mouth "pulled pork" of Mexico known as carnitas. By a stroke of serendipity, I found myself on State Street in Orem when I caught the word carnitas emblazoned on the side of an otherwise unremarkable little eatery. I made it a point to check it out after watching a ballet performance at the SCERA theater. As you can already surmise, I was not disappointed. Walking inside I was met by a friendly taquero and tables filled with native Spanish speakers. All signs said thus was going to be good. I chose a combo plate with two massive, stuffed carnitas tacos and a carne asada street-sized taco. Although it was quite tasty, the asada was just an afterthought for me. After pouring on some spicy salsa roja and a guacamole sauce with a topping of onions and cilantro I tucked into the best or at least top-3 carnitas tacos I've ever had. This is from someone who searches out this porcine delicacy wherever I travel. (See my other review of a surprising contender in the Lava Hot Springs KOA-Taqueria Pelayo-I'm not kidding.) The rest of the best are in California. You can get your carnitas "mixtos" or "solo carne." If you're not into skin, fat and offal, stick with the straight carne, The taquero knows that the best carnitas is given a crispy finish and coarsely chopped. After spying the home style refritos and arroz on a neighboring table, I went back for sides. Who needs a diet anyway? All told, I couldn't have been happier. Great food, friendly service with good English but willing to allow a gringo the opportunity to practice Spanish - I only wish it was closer to my home in South Jordan. LMK if you can recommend a similar spot in SLC or surrounds.

It's like no grilled cheese you'll ever have experienced before. The sandwiches are so packed with unqiue, creative combinations of flavors that both surprise and excite you with every bite, while still delivering a flavor so enjoyable and accessible to people who may not be interested in branching out too much. These are not small sandwiches--you'll be full by the end of one (or if you're like me, half of one), and still won't be tired of it by the end. Don't be deceived by the higher price- it's completely worth it and a bigger quantity than you might expect. I'm not much of a cheese love myself, but the menu had such variety that it was very balanced in catering towards people wanting the most cheese possible to people like me looking for a sandwich centered on other flavors with the cheese as a compliment to the rest.

I ordered the Beet Salad with Chicken and it was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the chicken was cooked perfectly--it's a great choice if you're looking for something light but filling. We also got a side of sweet potato fries. While the flavor was there, they definitely could have used another minute or two in the fryer for some extra crunch, and a little more salt to really make them pop. That being said, the meal was still very enjoyable! It's a clean, inviting space with a menu that has something for everyone.
