Guide to Cheap Good Eats

Okay, we now present to you some places we know with really good cheap good food. This is essential information for every student. Also: please comment on your own places as well so we can all share in your joy too.

TACOS GUANAJUATO
495 W 800 N, PROVO, UT 84601
Phone: (801) 356-2779

Awesome place to go for chimichangas. I've only had their beef chimichanga so for, but it was most excellent. Best tasting crust I've EVER had on a chimichanga, and I'm a very large frequenter of Mexican Restauarants. Also, the chimichanga is just stuffed with cheese. I haven't tried anything else there so I definitely can't recommend anything else.

Cost: $4.99 w/out beans & rice, $6.99 with them.

Fortune Chinese Restaurant
366 N University Ave
PROVO, UT
Phone: (801) 377-6868

Great variety of items. The thing I recommend is the $1.00 takeout. It costs $1.00 per item, so it's only $3.00 for say, lo mein, orange chicken, & fried vegetables. I recommend trying the fried vegetables earlier in the day since they tend to be a little stale later on in the day.

Beto's
Located by Macey's on 5th West and Bulldog in Provo.

Breakfast Burritos - but you should all know about this by now. Cheap mexican food 24 hours a day. Not as good as say Guanajuatos or El Azteca, but it's open 24 hours a day.

El Azteca
46 W 1230 N, PROVO, UT 84604
Phone: (801) 375-9690

Okay - try the bean & cheese nachos. It's enough to feed two grown men who each weigh over 200 pounds. Cost is around 4-5 dollars. They have tons of chips smothered in real cheese (not that nacho stuff) beans, sour cream, guacamole, salsa,etc. Only downfall is that the chips at the bottom tend to get soggy because they have so much stuff on top of them. Still taste great though.

Why am I telling all of you this at no financial gain to myself? Why it's simple! I want these places to become decently popular so that they stay in business so that I can still eat there on occasion.

Buen Provecho!

mmmmmmmm. breakfast burritos. if you haven't had these yet then go get one. RIGHT NOW. this isn't your dinky 59-cent Del Taco special. these are HUGE burritos stufed with eggs, cheese, potatoes, and a meat or your choice (i recommend ham or bacon, but some claim that the carne asada is quite tasty as well). you also get a few shots of green or red salsa on the side. if you can eat an entire one of these then you'll easily be set until lunch, if not longer. AND they're available 24/7, so you can get your greasy burrito fill whenever you need it.
