Brody's Mexican Restaurant - 1166 S Sage Drive suite C - Cedar City, UT

Location: https://goo.gl/maps/uoSGN2rjr6NBHkrk9

My wife and I both speak Spanish and love Hispanic culture. 

We both lived in El Salvador as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for 18 months and 2 years, respectively. 

And we love Mexican food (although not super spicy food... Salvadoreño food is quite "bland" compared to Mexican). 

My aunt, who is a long-time Cedar City-an, recommended this place to us as strongly as she could. In fact, she told us, "my kids know that at my funeral there's going to be Brody's with green sauce." 

After going to eat there, I let her know that we will not miss her funeral :)

Anyway, if you're like me, you try to find authentic Mexican - not Taco Bell or Del Taco.

And Brody's may not sound like an authentic Mexican name. 

But it is an authentic Mexican restaurant.

It is named after the owner's son, Brody.



 

Good

1, fajitas. Oh, so good. Although I always wish they brought you more tortillas (not just at Brody's, but every place I've ever had fajitas). But the chicken and steak fajitas I had were so, so good.

2, drinks. The horchata that my wife and I had was authentic and delicious.

3, the design and atmosphere inside the restaurant is fun and very well done. It feels very authentic.

Bad

The location is not ideal. It's kind of tucked in a strip mall. But they've done a great job with the space they have! As I understand, this is the first brick and mortar building they've been in as it started as a food truck. But fairly easy to find and get to and plenty of parking.

Price-wise, this was a moderately priced meal with generous sized plates.

I must say... I didn't love the green sauce on the enchilada as much as I thought I would. I'll have to try it again on something else. 


In summary:

Taste:   8/10

Speed:  6/10

Quality:  7/10

Cleanliness: 6/10

Value: 7/10

Painted Pony - 2 West Saint George Boulevard #22 Tower Building - St. George, UT

 Painted Pony Restaurant I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not. This is not my typical restaurant. My wife and I got a gift card to come here, and we made a fun date of it. And it was fun! It is in a really cool building and has a nice atmosphere. However, I must say that the chairs, tables, decorations, etc, were a little underwhelming for such an expensive restaurant. It is nice. The staff was very nice and professional.  But it wasn't as "fancy" as a P.F. Changs or a Maggiano's. You will definitely want a reservation.  As for the Menu, it is interesting to me how every "fancy" restaurant has really interesting entrees. The entree doesn't come with any sides - no salad, no soup. I went with the  PROSCUITTO WRAPPED FREE RANGE CHICKEN for $34.00 It comes with parsley almond pesto, acorn squash, couscous, and olive brown butter Again, I don't usually have acorn squash or couscous with my dinner. The chicken was really tender. The Pros...

Purple Mattress - King - Purple 1 (Original)

Image
 My wife and I bought a new mattress earlier this year. We've had it for 11 months now, so we've had a good length of time to try it out. First of all, let me clarify which mattress I'm talking about. Purple has several now. This is their original Purple mattress. Some people call it the Purple 1 because it has 1 inch of Gelflex Grid , while the Purple Hybrid (Purple 2) has 2 inches and Purple 3 has 3 inches and Purple 4 has...  Yes, 4 inches. You know when you've seen a word so many times it starts to look weird... Purple Purple looks weird. Ok, so this is the mattress I'm reviewing. First, I did not pay $1699 for it. My wife saw on Facebook someone in our town who picks up the mattresses that people don't want after their 90 or 100 or 180 or 360 day trial, and then resells them. So they are lightly used and she was really good about cleaning them, etc. And we got it for half that price. So I would look on your classifieds or Facebook Marketplace and see if so...

Red Fort Cuisine of India - 148 S 1470 E - St George, UT

 Red Fort is a really authentic Indian Restaurant with really authentically delicious Indian food. Location: https://g.page/red-fort-cuisine-of-india?share The atmosphere is really fun, with the decor and tables and dress of the servers and staff and overhead ceiling fans all adding to the experience. I have never been here and not had a server who is actually Indian, which is also really cool. Good 1, as mentioned above, the decor and atmosphere are just really cool. I believe this building used to be a church (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and it has some cool tall windows that are used really artfully in the restaurant. The tables, the benches, the overhead ceiling fans - even the napkins and cups and serving dishes - add to the feel of the restaurant.  2, the staff are very professional and nice and do a great job - even with a high volume of customers as this place is very popular (and rightly so) 3, my favorite dish is the Chicken Tikka Masala. It is so, so deli...
