Salt Lake City’s Rio Grande Cafe has left a historic downtown train station and its namesake for a new home near the University of Utah.
Now, instead of inside a landmark depot, the nearly 40-year-old eatery has set up at a restored fire station at 258 S. 1300 East. The Porcupine Pub and Grille, which had been operating in that spot for about five years, closed last month to make way for a sister restaurant.
