I love Iowa but...

I miss a few things in Utah.

Do you know what I want right now more than anything? Mexican food. Specifically Costa Vida. I want a grilled chicken burrito with pinto beans and medium sauce. Smothered please.

My second pick would definitely be Rubio's.
I would take almost anything from here. Which is very uncommon for me.

Los 3 Amigos. Trashy. Sooooo good. I'll take a #3 please.

Besides Mexican food I really miss Wingers. I know, I know, it's unbelievable there is not a Wingers close by.

I do love their sticky fingers. But my favorite thing on the menu? Sticky finger quesadilla. Yum!

And of course I miss,


All of which are not located in the Quad Cities. Bummer. There is nothing to eat out here. There is an Applebee's on about every corner. There is a Chili's. Which is ok. Not fabulous though. An Olive Garden. A T.G.I.F. And....... That's about it. No good Mexican places we found. The Mexican restaurants out here serve ground beef with taco seasoning. That is not Mexican. Not to mention repulsing. So I have been trying to think of ways to satisfy my cravings. I have found a few recipes I'm going to try. Hopefully they will be impressive.

Yeah, we haven't found any good Mexican food out here. I definitely miss Cafe Rio a lot. But I have a few recommendations for you :-) Tantra--53rd Street--you're welcome. It's awesome. Iowa Machine Shed--go in the morning for cinnamon rolls--yummmmmm. And Biaggi's. It's a national chain but I had never heard of it before we moved here. It is AMAZING!

Ok... I am really glad you have been here for 3 years and can tell me where to eat. I'm sad you're moving so soon! But I'm happy I can benefit from your experience. :) ha. I will definitely have to try those out!
