I’m surprised that Tarahumara hasn’t been discovered by the weekend motorcycle crowd yet, but it should definitely be on the list of favorite lunch stops. Food is excellent and reasonably priced, and the porch is a great place to sit back and relax before the afternoon ride home.

We had a great trip to Tarahumara! We had the carne asada burritos and chicken and beef and cheese enchiladas. The burritos were hands down much better than the enchiladas but the salsa stand was incredible. We had so much fun sampling all the salsas and picking out our favorites. I love that they had limes, pickled onions, pickled jalapenos, and pickled chiles with carrots and onions, and fresh radishes to boot. With a little pico de gallo, any dish can be dressed to ordered. This takes mucho, mucho effort to prepare all these dressings and I can only say Thank You, Muchas Gracias! Lovely recommendation, thanks for including it!

Finally had the opportunity to try Tarahumara over the weekend. Wow. If this was on the other side of the Wasatch Front I could easily see myself eating here at least once a week. Had the barbacoa (lamb) tacos. The lamb was prepared very simillarily to how pork carnitas are served. Slow roasted and very tender. Served very simply in three corn tortillas and complimented perfectly by the cilantro jalepeno salsa (almost like a pesto?) from the amazing salsa bar.

My wife and I shared the tres leches cake for desert. Didn’t look like much when pulled out of the lobby fridge, but it was quickly passed off to the expert kitchen staff who topped it with fresh barries and plated in a shallow pool of the sweet cream mixture.

On special the day we went were shark tacos that I wish I had tried. Looking forward to many more trips up Parley’s to work my way through the rest of the menu.

I have had a place in Midway for over 20 years. For about 15 of those years, there was only one or two viable options for dining out. With the arrival of Snake Creek Grill, Tarahumara, and a few others we generally don’t get to go to all our favorite places in one trip up there. Tarahumara is really a special place. There seafood is always surpringly great. They generally have a scallops dish that is really good, and as you mentioned their carnitas is as good as I have had anywhere.

I think maybe my picture just doesn’t do the mojito justice. The mint is very pronounced in the drink, and so I’m pretty sure they do muddle. It tastes very fresh and really nothing like a margarita either. I will have to try to make a Mojito Fuego though! Sounds like my kind of drink.

Looks good, Midway needed a new restaurant.

By the looks of it they should muddle the mint with a little ice in the glass to impart more flavor rather than just throwing mint leaves in the margarita mix for a Mexican Mojito. To spice up my Mojitos I often muddle a jalapeno with the mint to give it some kick for a ‘Mojito Fuego’.
