When Mario Trejo, the owner of the Logan-based Greek Streak Taverna, traveled to Midvale last year to meet some friends, it inspired him to make a change in his life. And the Midvale Redevelopment Agency gave him some options. “I was like, this would be a cool spot to try...

Interview: Gogol Bordello to ‘Tear the Roof Off’ on Saturday
Gogol Bordello is back in Salt Lake City this weekend, performing at the Union Event Center on Feb. 28. Opening are Boris and the Joy & Puzzled Panther. Doors are at 6 p.m. The New York City-based “Gypsy punk” band released its 10th album earlier this month, We Mean It, Man!, on frontman Eugene Hütz’s label, Casa Gogol Records. It taps into their post-punk groove roots a little deeper than the albums that preceded it, tapping favorite producer Nick Launay — who’s produced Gang of Four, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Killing Joke, and plenty others — to allow for that.

Salt Lake magazine’s 2026 Dining Awards
In this age of algorithms, ads and A.I., finding a solid food recommendation has become a tedium of sifting through a pile of word junk. A machine can’t emulate a food critic; it can’t identify nuanced flavors with a highly sensitive, trained palate; and robots definitely can’t relate to that transcendent first bite of something real.

Best Restaurant of 2026: La Casa del Tamal
Casa del Tamal began as a side hustle for Cristina Olvera, who made tamales out of her home in the evenings and delivered them fresh the next morning. Word quickly spread, and soon the whole city wanted in on these perfect little bundles of handmade masa, savory meat fillings and abuela’s love. It’s a family affair, says panelist Ali Vallarta, who admires the restaurant’s devotion to tradition as much as their signature tacos de birria, “It’s been beautiful to witness a passing of the torch, a generational storytelling through food,” she says. The restaurant recently expanded to a second location in the Post District, and inside locals line up for juicy birria tacos (loaded with decadent 12-hour braised beef, mind you), shrimp aguachile and fresh guacamole. Olvera has recruited a dedicated staff to help fill the demand for Casa del Tamal’s legendary verdes de pollo and rajas con queso tamales, but maintains the quality of love and care that’s wrapped up in each one. lacasadeltamalutah.com.

Best Restaurant of 2026: Finca
We thank the food gods that the Pago Group decided to occupy the unique and, dare we say, coziest restaurant space in Salt Lake. (OK, Log Haven is in that club, too.) After a bit of a false start with “something bohemian,” Scott Evans sized down his Finca concept and Chef Octavio Zetina Munoz filled this tiny space with the flavors of Spain.

Best Restaurant of 2026: Felt Bar & Eatery
Step foot into this bright, urban bar on Main Street and you may just find panelist Stuart Melling perched at the counter, noshing on a daily special and chatting it up with the staff. Stuart is “treated like family every time I visit,” and therein lies the magic of Felt: a beacon of warmth and hospitality in a downtown area defined by high-volume weekend barhoppers and frantic service wells. Of course, the craft cocktails, smartly curated wines and fusion-style menu from Chef Travis Herbert are as much to credit for this Main Street establishment, the latter of which panelist Lydia Martinez says has “elevated the bar food scene in Salt Lake City in a way that is unique and phenomenal.” Mellings’ enthusiastic endorsement is this: “Best crab cakes in the state, a Thai green curry supporting lobster ravioli, elk burger and tartares of all varieties—crazy on paper but every bite is perfect.” feltslc.com.
