So ok I was craving tacos today and. A huffy of mine suggested this place..... and for good…read morereason!!! The tacos are amazing!!!! This is a small lil joint with big flavor!!! Lane and Brady are two of the nicest people I've met in alaska. But let's get to the taco!! The tortillas are made fresh in house!!! We ordered the Alaska , the Texan, and 'Mercian tacos!! Freakin delish!!!! I can't wait to go back and try the other tacos also they have a special I'm not sure how long it'll be there but he said about a week. It was a chicken taco with pickled hominy and onion and some kind of white sauce which was fantastic!!! For two meals and en extra taco and horchata we spent $45 not including til which of course I tipped them. Averages out to about 7 a taco and 2 for the rice n beans. All in all not a bad price . Most definitely recommend coming here if ur looking for a shorter wait time don't go at noon! lol the lunch rush was pretty funny. But u know they're good when u got that many people in a small venue. lol

Went in around noon for the 1st time. Lane explained how everything worked. Almost everything…read moreincluding tortillas are scratch made. The Alaska taco was amazing!! Also had the Texas, which was really good. Sauces were excellent! The beans & rice were good, but nothing unique. I'd suggest get 3 tacos & skip the beans & rice for same price as 2 tacos with B&R. The dine in space is small, but if the weather is good the patio is nice. Very friendly service as well & a good hip vibe. Close to UAF campus.

Extremely kind, welcoming service with some really great food and relaxing atmosphere. Will be…read morecoming back :)

It might be a 4 if we ate there in person but the takeout was a 3. The veggie burrito didn't have…read moremany veggies in it. It was just rice, beans, and tomatoes. The tomatoes were big chunks. The guac was good and the red sauce! The king burrito was more of a 4/5. My husband loved it but wished it was hotter. We got takeout so that was our bad. The rice and beans were great! And the chips were fresh and salty

Cool hole in the wall vibe. Server/clerk was very knowledgeable about gluten allergens. All of the…read moregluten-free items were clearly marked on the wall menu. I ended up getting some tacos and my husband got a sandwich. Both of them had really good flavor. Could tell that a lot of ingredients are made in house. Though I didn't end up buying any I did see that they had an entire Bakery case with a bunch of gluten-free baked goods like cheesecake, custard cake, and some other stuff. We really enjoyed the glass roof as the snow was just starting to melt. It was kind of cool like we were in a half melted igloo. I would definitely put it on my list if you are gluten-free.

Did a bit of research on good spots in Fairbanks and Blue Roof Bistro came up…read more Looked like a pretty standard American food menu, so I wanted to get something I normally couldn't get back home. Landed on the BLT with salmon. The BLT actually came with a croissant as the bread, so it made it very easy to eat. Lots of bacon and the salmon went really well with the sandwich. Fries here are great too! Staff here are great! Since we came here near closing time, they actually offered us some of their leftover soup since it would have been tossed out. Definitely hate wasting food, so that offer was accepted very quickly. I didn't realize until after leaving why Blue Roof Bistro has its name. It's because...the roof is blue heh. Either way, worth the visit.

The quesabirrias were so good! I enjoyed the little kick of spicy. Definitely recommend!read more

We just learned about this place and I'm so glad we did. I've been looking for good tacos in…read moreFairbanks and have been disappointed with every restaurant we tried. Tacos were either bland, mushy or completely tasteless. But now I've found my go-to place. I had the birria tacos, my husband had the carnitas tacos. We shared with each other and agreed that both were great. (There are only two showing in each picture, but you get three. I always forget to take the picture before we start eating.) If you're hungry for great tacos, El Ranchero is the place to go. We'll definitely go back!

Been here an hour and a half, 45 minutes in I barley got my drinks. I had to remind them about the…read moredrinks... a hour n a half later still no food, two tables got here after us and they got served before our group. do not recommend go to El Gallo.

I had the absolutely worst experience at the Mayan Palace tonight…read more #1 The drunk owner #2 Foil chunks in my food. #3 Bugs in food #4 Accused us of lying and that our picture wasn't at his restaurant, wasn't his tables and plates and that it was from a Chinese food restaurant. ... Details: I told the waitress that my food had chunks of foil in it but I just picked around it. I still had a taco, full plate or rice and beans to eat and she took it away, I figured I would get another plate. Then my 15 year old son found bugs in his enchilada and rice (pictured above) the waitress took both plates away. Then the owner came out and at first I thought he was joking/teasing but he continues to berate us and say that we were lying. Saying we didn't even have food and that his picture was from a Chinese food restaurant. The picture clearly shows an enchilada +fly. The owner then demanded to show my son the kitchen, which was a disaster (don't eat the chips)! The owner tried to intimidate my son with an overly forceful handshake. The whole situation was backward and highly inappropriate. We then were back in our seats for a long time just sitting there with no food so I told him my son we should leave. The bartender then said that we were leaving and didn't pay, I said yes, we had food that was taken away for the mentioned reasons and that we had no replacement and no bill and that the owner was drunk and inappropriate. Then another drunk patron started butting in and said why was I defending my son and that he should handle his own business. I said he might be 6'3" but he's only 15 and it's my job. The wait staff seems to be intimidated by their drunk owner and didn't say a word, one did whisper sorry to me. I feel very bad for the staff. The owner still professed that we were lying as we were trying to leave, I told him to stop drinking. I eat at this restaurant all the time, I love Mexican food, and I was just here at this restaurant on Monday with my husband. Sadly I will never eat at the Mayan Palace again. Beware.

There's the typical…read morefarmer's market stuff- things like vegetables and freshly baked bread as well as Alaska-made food and crafts, like jewelry, candles and pottery. I saw "Moostard" mustards that looked good and Alaska herbs and herbed vinegars. I bought some soaps for mom and some spiced Ketchup and Raspberry Barbeque Sauce for dad. There was also a lot of good food. The falafels we ate weren't technically AT the market, they were nearby down the road, but they were delicious. I'd recommend the market for gifts, browsing and a quick bite to eat. 2009 Season Opening Day 5/09/09 9am-4pm Saturdays 11am-4pm Wednesdays

Staying at a place close by so decided to come here for dinner…read more It was Wednesday night around 6- it was pretty empty. For full maybe 30 mins after we sat down. We were greeted by a lady behind the bar. She was super sweet. We sat down, and was brought chips and salsa. I got the enchiladas. One beef and one chicken. The chicken was a bit dry. The beef was better. Overall - the food didn't have much flavor or seasoning honestly. I felt like I was eating empty calories cause I couldn't taste anything. But that's better than it being disgusting lol. The portions of food were great! But the service was fabulous. I probably won't come back.

Taco Tuesday is a must, but honestly everything we've tried has been solid. The complimentary seasoned chips and salsa are so good they could be a meal on their own. The only thing I hate is that after living in Alaska for over 10 years, I somehow just found this place this year. Definitely one of our new go-to spots.
