The Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray Guide to Mexican Restaurants

People may not agree on much, but one thing we can almost all agree on is the delicious taste of Mexican food. Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray put together our list of local favorites and we feel as though it is our most important post to date: The best Mexican restaurants in Salt Lake, City. Restaurants are listed in no particular order.

• Frida Bistro: This restaurant flies a little bit under the radar, but boy does it deliver. The Salmon Malinche is killer and washing it down with their signature homemade lemonade is an absolute must.
• Used Car Sales Manager Rick’s Tip: “This place is on the outskirts of town, but don’t be scared. The staff and food make it all worth it.”
• Hector’s: Okay, so if you’ve spent any time in Utah, you know about Hector’s and its undeniable goodness. They have the ultimate burrito menu and prepare their food quickly and perfectly.
• Parts Manager Grant Martin’s Tip: “The steak and eggs burrito can turn any day into a good day.”
• Lone Star Taqueria: Their accolades are many and for all the right reasons. Lone Star’s fish tacos are quite possibly the best in Utah.
• Sales Professional Jordan Dwyer’s Tip: “Go after a long day of skiing or snowboarding and make sure to get a side of chips.”
• Red Iguana: This place is the end-all of Mexican food in Salt Lake. The Puntas de Filete a la Norteña are the best-seller on their menu.
• Sales Professional Chris Heacker’s Tip: “The line may wrap around the entire building, but don’t let this be intimidating for you. Waiting for the food here is something no one regrets.”
• Rio Grande Café: What makes this joint so great is its location inside the historic railroad station. Their menu is reasonably priced and they serve up generous portions (perfect for leftovers).
• Finance Assistant Mellissa Hansen’s Tip: “Rio Grande has an awesome menu, I always love bringing change so I can play songs on the jukebox.”

We think this list can cure your hunger by giving you a little slice of Mexico without going south of the border. Being a foodie can add a little extra strain to your budget; luckily our current service specials will leave you with money left over for that steak and egg burrito. Not only will you have more money to spend on your rumbling belly, but your Chevy will be ready to take your taste buds wherever they crave the most thanks to our service department. Win-win!

Keeping Your Teen Driver Safe When You're Not in the Passenger Seat

Distracted, over-confident, and reckless. Teens often make for horrible drivers. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S. Over six die this way every single day and over 600 suffer car-crash-related injuries each day.

Attempting to combat these startling statistics has often been done using scare tactics. Graphic staged performances of the consequences of drinking and driving are often portrayed in parking lots of high schools before prom. Driver’s Ed courses usually feature victims of drunk or distracted driving. That’s why Chevy is trying a new, more proactive approach to better combat the side-effects of teens on the road called Teen Driver.

Chevy first introduced the technology in the 2016 Malibu and now it’s available across most of their 2018 lineup. The fully integrated system does not miss a beat. It begins right when the engine is started by not allowing the stereo to be turned on until seatbelts are fastened. When Teen Driver technology is turned on, Stability Control, Traction Control, Forward Collision Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking are all automatically enabled.

A pin code gives parents the ability to customize the stereo volume limit and speed to best fit their family’s needs. Teen Driver tracks the habits of the person behind the wheel. It puts together a “report card” which details the distance driven, the maximum speed reached, the number of times the vehicle went over the pre-approved speed limit, tailgating alerts, and if the Forward Collision Avoidance Braking was activated.

The data from the report card is only housed inside the vehicle and does not send the data to any sort of cloud. This is done to negate the potential of the vehicle being hacked. In light of the potential of an emergency situation, Chevy did not include the option of a speed limit cap under 85mph.

Teen Driver works to keep parents at ease and to ultimately encourage young drivers to develop safer driving habits. Alerts recorded in the report card are displayed to your teen in real-time using audible alerts. The goal is to make them aware of the bad habit so they can begin to correct it immediately. My clients have told me it gives them peace of mind. One father said his daughter competes with herself to see if she can improve her report card each month. Teens competing with themselves to form better driving habits? Doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.

Your teen’s first car is a really big deal and that’s why we want parents and their soon-to-be drivers to experience the technology for themselves first-hand. Families are more than welcome to stop by anytime to learn about Teen Driver. We want parents to be aware of the programs available to keep their teens safe on the road. Come experience the positive difference a Chevy can make on your family’s driving habits.

The Chevy Suburban: The Vehicle You Can Trust to Protect Your Family

The Chevy Suburban maintains the title of being the longest-running vehicle in production that’s still on the road today. Now in its 12^th generation, the first Suburban hit the road in 1935 and has been in continuous production since then. Production even continued throughout World War II, because it was one of the essential vehicles used by the Allied powers. Now in 2018, the Chevy Suburban remains a workhorse that everyone can trust.

Everyone seems to love it, it’s become essential for families and government agencies alike. Why? It’s simple: both groups of people want a reliable and safe vehicle. General Motors also created a worldwide parts supply chain, making them extremely easy to work on.

The friendly giant comes with an available thicker frame, making it near bomb-proof. It also has a very subtle, yet intimidating look. No, it’s not flashy. It’s confident with its sleek lines and classic look. This makes it perfect for the large fleets of the Secret Service, FBI, Special Forces, local law enforcement, and—the most ominous of all—moms.

If you’re looking for something to tow your toys, the 2018 model can tow up to 8,300 pounds with ease. The 5.3-liter V-8 engine makes for a quiet ride. Tight handling and steering is an added bonus.

The cabin is roomy with seating for up to nine people. Soldiers, the president, fugitives, and children can all fit inside. The interior boasts three rows of seating with separate climate controls for each row. Chevy also added electric controls to put down the second and third-row seats. Technology was not overlooked, either. There’s available Wi-Fi, five USB ports, satellite radio, Apple Carplay™, Android Auto™, and the MyLink infotainment system.

Things You Can Do With Your Chevy SUV or Truck

Hint: You can do basically anything with your Chevy. 

The list of outdoor activities available in Utah never ends. The weather is always changing and the activities we love are always changing along with it. Can your vehicle keep up with all of Mother Nature's mayhem?

An active lifestyle means you and your family go beyond ordinary travel and simple destinations. Going beyond usually means taking the road less traveled, driving through brutal elements, while crossing rugged terrain and trailblazing new paths along the way. Doing this takes guts, experience, and a vehicle you can rely on. A Chevy truck or SUV can handle all the above in addition to trips to Costco, soccer tournaments, and a quick round of golf.

The Necessities to Get You Where You Need to Go 

The Equinox and Silverado round out the top two spots for Chevy's best-selling vehicles and for good reason. Both have seating capabilities that allow for toting children to and from sporting events, and driving friends up Little Cottonwood Canyon for a spring hike. The completely redesigned 2018 Equinox has three different turbocharged engine options, including gasoline-powered 1.5- and 2.0-liter engines along with a 1.6-liter diesel option (yes, you read that right). If you're more of the go-big-or-go-home type, there's also the completely updated 2018 Silverado. The V-8 engine creates a smooth ride and impressive towing capacity. MyLink infotainment systems are available with both vehicles, flawlessly accommodating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is also available if you want internet capabilities for your adventures.

What It Comes Down To

Chevy trucks and SUVs offer all the horsepower you need for the changing elevations in Utah. Trucks and SUVs sit higher than sedans and minivans, meaning you don't have to worry about headlights in your line of site. Being higher up also means better visibility, allowing you to get a better view of those vistas.

Chevy's ability to switch from freeways to off-road areas are what makes it best for the various terrain in Utah. These vehicles make it through steep climbs, rock-strewn passages, and riverbeds with ease because it's what they were made for.

Chevy trucks and SUVs mean no sacrifices. These vehicles hit all their marks when it comes to anything Utah can throw at you. If you're ready to take on all that nature has to offer in a new Chevy, come see us at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray or start your search in our new inventory from the comfort of your couch.
