Still searching for Utah’s best chips and salsa restaurant

We’ve arrived at part 4 of my journey to find the perfect place to eat chips and salsa in Utah. This leg took me to Orem, St. George (again), and Salt Lake City.

Another reminder, my rubric is as follows:

  • I’m looking for a sit-down restaurant. Meaning, I want a place where a hostess will lead me and my party to a table, hand us all menus, and set out chips and salsa. I need a large Diet Coke, preferably in a giant red cup.
  • While chips and salsa are what I’m focused on most, the entrees obviously need to be good, because if I’m going to return to this place often, I want to have a great meal every time, not just a great appetizer.
  • Even though my personal go-to will need to be in Salt Lake County, where I live, I’m trying spots all over the state to best inform readers.

Now, for this leg specifically, I feel the need to remind us all that the perfect place to eat chips and salsa does not necessarily need to be a restaurant that exclusively serves Mexican food. It just needs to have chips and salsa on the menu, which is why I decided to try one of the most controversial and most recommended spots on my list — Chili’s.
