On my way from Grand canyon to Zion canyon, we stopped for a lunch. We ordered a Navajo taco. it is big enough for two and so delicious. There are very nice staffs and good attractive stuffs.
We arrived after the store closed and had to utilize the checkin process via security. While it took a little longer than it would have at the check in desk, the two gentlemen were great! That’s what happens when you roll in to the only inn in the middle of nowhere that late. We had a nonsmoking king room and it was perfect for my daughter and I’s overnight. We had the pleasure of eating breakfast in their restaurant with the spectacular view, great food and friendly service. The gift shop was truly amazing full of beautiful keepsakes for everyone. I highly recommend and if we have the opportunity will return for sure!
This trading post was very clean and had friendly staff. The restaurant was very nice – loved all of the Navajo and Hopi art displayed. The ceiling detail was so cool!! Also, the Navajo tacos and green chili with sirloin and fry bread was delicious. Portions are big! You could share a Navajo taco. They have tons of souvenirs, jewelry, and clean bathrooms for tourists and passersby. Definitely recommend.
This was a recommendation from one of the front desk associates at our hotel when we mentioned we were headed to the Grand Canyon this weekend. We ended up being hungry right around the time we were near here, so decided to stop in.
The trading post is beautiful, with lots of stunning handmade crafts. The smells from the restaurant were enticing so we were looking forward to trying it out.
That being said, my meal unfortunately didn't live up to expectations. I had the Navajo taco and was really excited about trying it, but found it to be very bland. There was no spiciness (or even much seasoning)- and while I did like the concept of the dish (having never tried it before) I thought the execution was lackluster. My son had a bacon cheeseburger and he actually really enjoyed it- and his fries were perfectly cooked.
I didn't take leftovers because I couldn't imagine the fry bread on the taco standing up well to the wet beans/meat and not getting soggy over time.
They are charging almost $5 a pop for sodas, which is absurd to me. I told my son to go ahead and try a milkshake instead since they were only a dollar more. He did *really* enjoy the prickly pear milkshake and it seems like a unique menu item which is always fun to find. To me it tasted both sweet and earthy- with almost a veggie-like flavor.
Service was just ok. The waitress was not rude, but was a bit abrupt- and she never checked on our meal/food/whether we needed anything else until we were finished eating.
If I was back in the area, I'd skip this in favor of trying something new/different.
We can’t comment on the rooms since we only stopped for the Navajo tacos. I live in Missouri now, but lived in Oklahoma around 9 tribes for 20+ years where I was first introduced to “Indian Tacos” and they’re just absolutely divine. I was so excited to see a restaurant serving them. We got the hot beef taco and the Navajo taco. I’m so disappointed. Nothing was seasoned. Some of the brown beans were still crunchy and undercooked. I got maybe two tablespoons of salsa for this face sized taco. The hot beef tastes like a frozen Banquet meal. The food definitely looked beautiful. Beautiful only on the outside. I wanted to love it.
