Utah has a lot of great Mexican food. There's no denying that. If authentic Mexico City style Mexican is what you're after however, Chunga's is the place to go. Located in Rose Park, Chunga's is a diamond in the rough and given a five star rating from UrbanSpoon.com. Most recommend getting the al Pastor on your first visit (it's to die for), but no matter what meal you choose, you can be positive it will be packed to the brim with flavor and freshness. The one thing you cannot leave without is a heaping glass of Agua de Piña. Frothy and sweet, that drink alone will have you coming back for more. Don't be intimidated by the authenticity. The bilingual staff at Chunga's is friendly and welcoming. Next time you're in the area, don't be afraid to walk in and treat yourself to this Mexican treasure.
You can try to deny the craving for that cheesy goodness above, but we recommend just getting some for yourself. You won't regret it.
