    Veggie fajitas
    Kait S.

    A homey Mexican restaurant with lovely staff in a beautiful location. I have only been once but my partner has been going sporadically over the past decade. Both their veggie fajitas and cheese enchiladas are great. There is also such a feeling of community while inside. I don't know why yelp says it's permanently closed. I went 1/18/26 and it was open.

    I had the ground beef taco salad which was good, my husband had the ground beef taco, which was good as well. The salsa that comes with the chips was delicious, great flavor. Service was outstanding! It was a nice day so we sat outside on the patio. Nice atmosphere, we will go back!

    Good portions, tasty food, really great service. Stopped by for dinner as it was walking distance from my hotel. Asked for a recommendation and was given number 5 with one item each of 3 different meats: clocked, pork and shredded beef. I think I liked the pork more than the other two personally. Going back I might try ground beef and the asada.

    Went for the chili Relleno this weekend but got the taco salad with chicken instead. It was good but not as good as the chili Relleno. Loved the crispy shell. As always the service was excellent and the salsa is good enough to drink. I got pics this time, but only after I deconstructed the salad.

    Carne Asada Burrito !! So good.

    This is one of the few places open on a Sunday night in Kanab. When my wife and I arrived, around 5:30, it was spent getting busy. We had to wait 10-15 minutes to get seated. I ordered the plain carne asada (steak) burrito and the wife got the carnitas plate. Both were exceptional! I have eaten Mexican food all over the US and a few other countries and that has to be one of the best burritos I've ever eaten! My wife really enjoyed her plate too! The staff were very friendly and busting their butts to try to keep up. They were friendly and quick to bring us what we needed. My suggestion to them is to wait for the customer to finish speaking before running off. Would have saved them a few trips. I like that they already have a large carafe of ice water and delicious chips and salsa waiting for you when you are seated!!

    Steak Chimichanga enchilada style with side of refried beans and rice

    As others mentioned, one of the few places open on Sunday nights, unfortunately they are closed on Saturday's, but a decent trade off. We have been here a couple times now, and the place is consistent in a lot of ways! Family run, they have a small dining area and some large tables outside in a covered area. Parties over 4 need to eat out there unless the middle tables inside can be moved together. They are always on a wait pr packed, and do a ton of to go orders. The service is the only knock on this place and a small one. If you need something, you need to flag someone down as they tend to not come back to tables. Unfortunate, but is what it is. Steak chimichanga is my go to and they stuff it with beans, lettuce, and red enchilada sauce baked into the shell. It crunches like a cracker. The side of refried beans are money with a thin layer then melted cheese on top. The rice is the best, hands down...do bot skip the rice!! The chili verde tostado was also spot on, as anything is in green sauce out west!! See you next time my friends!

    Ran in from the pouring rain!! Umbrella set aside to drip away from others.. thanks for that suggestion! Delicious chips and salsa. Fish taco and cheese enchilada washed down with Mexican beer. My tostada with guacamole was fantastic! Also had a side of refried beans. Love this place! Always eat here when in the area! Thank you for great food and service!!!

    Eating my beef tostada was more challenging than I expected, lol.

    Delicious food with excellent service. We couldn't believe how quick they were to serve us our meals. Really good and authentic Mexican food, would go back the next time I'm in town. Loved that my food was great the next morning, I even enjoyed eating it cold.

    Nachos were excellent. Guacamole needed more cilantro and lime. Service was great, and portions very large. Line to get in, go early.

    This is a great Mexican restaurant. They even serve your beer in a frosty mug! Veggie fajitas and the camarones were excellent.

    Taco cabana is better. Kinda of has a fast food feel. Not the greatest, but better than vegan pizza down the street.

    My husband and I were traveling through and did a search for local restaurants on Yelp. We were…read morelooking for something local and we found this gem! Jacob (I think that was his name??) was our server, he was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu and area. Another gal that worked there was very nice and chatty, it was fun talking to locals about the place/area. My husband and I ordered the mushroom and swiss burger with fries to split. They brought it out on two plates, already split-I loved that! The fries were hot and delish. The burger was as one of the best I have had, cooked to perfection and super juicy. It's a fun stop, shopping, great food and are known for their giant cookies so try to work that in as well.

    04/16/26 Delicious…read morecookies and friendly employees. We were greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. I was disappointed there were not more flavor choices, however the four that were available were delicious. Our favorite was the Chocolate Parfait. It looked liked a scoop of ice cream which intrigued me even more. We went right outside and ate two of the cookies right away. We broke the Chocolate Parfait in half and the chocolate was ooey gooey perfection. My husband loved it so much, we went back inside and bought the last one. We were so full after just two cookies that we took the others with us. We saved the Chocolate Parfait for the next day and unfortunately it wasn't the same as eating it right at the time of purchase. The other three cookies I think would taste just as good a day or less later, but don't wait to eat the Chocolate Parfait cookie. The magic in this cookie is immediate consumption.
