La Fountain - Salt Lake City

The food and service made our visit to this mom and pop Mexican restaurant an exceptional one. I was surprised when I got the bill for a party of 6 and it was just a little over $100.00. Totally worth it and I would recommend it to you. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Meh...I think we are done with the La Fountain restaurants. This location USED to be our go-to Mexican cuisine. However, the last few times we have ordered from there, have been significantly disappointing (both the Sandy location, and this one . Part of what we appreciated about the food here was the fact that it was fresh, generous, and the overall balance of flavors on the plate were complimentary. Each component of the plate tasted unique. The burrito tasted different than the enchilada. The rice tasted different from the tacos. I don 't know what specifically has changed to make the food taste alike (recipes maybe? , but literally EACH menu item on our usual order (large combination plate tastes exactly the same. The so-called tostada tasted just like the taco, the wannabe enchilada tasted just like taco, because the mole is seasoned with the same ingredients as the taco meat. The whole blend of seasoning now actually has strong hints of Tex-Mex style cuisine (I don 't know if that is by design or not . Don 't get me wrong, I love Tex-Mex, but if I want that, I will go to restaurants that formally feature that cuisine. The pork chile verde had just the green Chiles, but no pork. Quite literally, I had ZERO pork in the tablespoon of Chile Verde alotted to my plate. Apparently, smothered means something different...more like a dab slopped somewhere on your plate. The only meat protein on my plate was in fact the small dollop of taco mean slopped in the taco shell, with no lettuce, tomatoes, cheese...nada. Anyway, I think it 's clear that we are disenchanted with one of our former go-to Mexican restaurants. BTW, La Cocina in Cottonwood Heights has fantastic food. Give them a try!
