Cafe Limon is a cafeteria style-set up, but the menu — which features Asian, Hispanic, Polynesian and American foods — is a far cry from anything you might have tasted in an elementary or high school dining hall.
WEST VALLEY CITY — The first time Spencer Langi tried a Colombian empanada as an adult, he immediately questioned why he had never had one before.
"I take that feeling and try to emphasize those flavors so that everybody who tries it has the same feeling and it just leaves a mark on you," Langi said. "The idea for me was more of wanting people to try the foods that I've found the most interesting." "It's kind of all over the place," Langi said of the menu. "But it's really just about bringing the best and mixing that into this type of setting. We wanted to appeal to everyone. You still have that restaurant-type food in a cafe setting."
"I always wanted to open this in West Valley because it's kind of like a melting pot out here, you know, with a lot of different ethnicities. So it's probably the perfect spot," he said "The goal is to get everybody from West Valley."The name Cafe Limon represents the fresh items on the menu, said Langi. As owner and executive chef, he plans on switching out menu items based on what's in season.
