🫤 We were the only customers that morning and it took about 30 minutes to get our food The gal who took our food order was super sweet, but the coffee was cold 🥶 😫 and the food was semi-warm when it finally made it to our table. My frybread was like cardboard. We had been looking forward to visitin... People often mention good, bread, great, Indian, green, amazing, taco,

    My husband and I were greeted by Johnny and the owners came out to check on us. Very pleasant people and delicious food. My husband had the fried bred green Chile burger (amazin) I had the Navajo tacos (also amazing) you can tell everything is from scratch so it made it all the better. We will definitely be back. If you have not got do yourself a favor and get over there asap. You won't be disappointed. Forget to take a before picture.

    first of all, the food was great! But attitude of the owner sucked!!! I simply asked if the restaurant served Mexican food; and the guy said it was "New Mexican food"! I retorted that I had never had a "new Mexican food before; so what kind a food was New Mexican food ... perhaps modified ...", etc. I got lots of stare from the guy. I never offended him but his attitude was out of this world. Then he asked me where I am from; I said Colorado ... Again, good food with lots of attitude from the head guy. I wasn't expecting any preferential treatment. This guy was weird. I never eat there again.

    Green chile cheeseburger on fry bread was excellent! The fry bread was golden and light (for fry bread anyway). Hand cut fries were very good. If they’d been just a bit crisper they would be amazing. I’m sure if I asked they crisp them up a bit because everything is made to order. A great addition to downtown food options.

    Amazing. The whole menu is true New Mexican food. So good. Like, really, really good. Like eating with your grandma and all the aunties good. The fry bread is perfect. They make stacked enchiladas just my mom and grandma. Chile is great too. The Green Chile almost looked like a cream gravy and I was skeptical but IT WAS FANTASTIC. Great flavor and decent heat. Definitely give them a try. We will be going back ASAP.

    The food here is Excellent!!! The salad was the freshest I’ve had at any restaurant. My husband had the enchilada, and even though I don’t like spicy food I had a bite and the spicy sting was worth it for the rest of the flavors. Everything came out fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.

    The customer service was outstanding, Mary is wonderful and the food is exactly what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service she went above and beyond being so kind. I’m always very impressed with the quality of the food.

    This place had the best Indian taco I’ve had. And the service was so good. The employee’s were so kind. This is an awesome spot. I got an Indian taco and it fed 2 people. You get so much food for the price.

    Wife and I came to check this place out because I had been craving an Indian taco. It is every bit as good as it looks, she had a breakfast burrito and that was also very good! The gents that run the place are very friendly and provide great service and conversation. Overall a great experience and awesome food. Will eat here again, highly recommended.

    The green chili sauce is the best green sauce ive ever had. I want to swim in it and carry it in my purse. I ordered the tacos and they were great. I wish I lived in the area as I crept on other orders coming out and the fry bread looked amazing. I ate there on Monday and am still thinking about it. Plus, the staff were great and really accommodating. Space was clean and welcoming.

    I really enjoyed the food here. Being away from Homeland, I had mutton stews w/Fry bread. Which I had missed so much. The coffee was outstanding, Pinon coffee. I still want to try other foods later. Try it you'll like it. Put a smile on my face with a full belly.

    Traditional fry bread, no meat and a whole lot of memories are in this one spot. They have pastries, candies and fresh tamales cooked with love. Thanks for the experience.

  • 4/5 Selena S. 1 year ago on Google
    These hit the spot so perfect. The salsa was a nice addition and very spicy and flavorful. I love Spanish rice like this. It was simple yet delicious. Will be back.

    Super good food, friendly staff. My wife had the Indian taco. I had the fry bread green chilie burger. Both were amazing. The owners/chef's came out to introduce themselves when we were done eating. Very friendly down to earth people, one of our best dining experiences in quite a while. Food is made fresh to order so expect a little bit of a wait. But well worth it!!
