    Hopi Hot Beef
    Alice F.

    I am very happy that the Cultural Center is open again! It has been a tradition for my trips to Hopi for many years to stop by the HCC and get a Hopi Hot Beef. This trip, since it had been so long since I had visited, I actually ate Hopi Hot Beef twice in 24 hours. Not my norm, for certain. Anyway, the service is friendly and they took the COVID closure as an opportunity to remodel and refresh the dining room a little bit. They have all new floors, to which one of our friends commented, "it's like a dance floor now!" They are limiting capacity, practicing social distancing, and requiring masks, FYI. So be respectful. The Hopi Hot Beef that I mentioned is frybread with roast beef, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy, garnished with sautéed onions and diced green chiles. While I preferred the old presentation of a whole green chile on top, I admit that the diced green chile means I get chile in every bite! I usually order a side of jalapeño, which are grilled, and an extra side of green chile. I don't even leave a molecule on the plate. So for one of my meals this trip, I had to eat something different because I just couldn't bring myself to have THREE Hopi Hot Beefs in 24 hours, but I regretted it. I had the fish and chips and they were pretty pedestrian. And now I want more hot beef. Sigh.

    I am so happy to see this landmark opened again. Tonight I had the Hopi Tostada. It had no meat and was the perfect size.

    There isn't much out here. So be grateful for what you can get. The portions here were huge and reasonably priced. The Hopi hot beef was not bad. It was shredded beef in a thick brown sauce over blue corn fried bread. There was so much beef I did not finish it The service here is excellent but it takes a while for the food to come out. Remember life moves a lot slower out here compared to us city folks who choose to run around like headless chickens. Take 3 deep breaths and relax.

    For what it is, it's pretty good, since it's the only game in town basically. The restaurant here is a decent Denny's "like" restaurant. The motel here is like a clean standard Motel 6 type of lodging but please don't let that scare you away... Read on. As I learned on my tour, one coal mining spot is the majority of the financial sustenance here. But the federal government is responsible for managing Indian affairs for the "benefit" of all Indians. But by all accounts the government has failed to live up to this responsibility. As a result, Native American reservations are among the poorest communities in the United States. And that's a Fu@&ing disgusting loathsome shame! Don't come here expecting you're going to see a wealthy California Indian resorts like Pechanga. This area has a humble - not too assimilated - Old school vibe to it. There's some wonderful personal guided tours from local Hopi Indians to choose from. The one I took was completely customize, so I saw a lot of different things and I thought it was absolutely fabulous and uber Informational!! If you're into Native American culture and want to get it firsthand from a Native American, you've come to the right place. I went on a three hour guided tour that was full of personal stories, legends, history and I saw Hopi land and real artifacts in the wild in person. If this sounds pretty cool to you, then check it out. All you need is a two night stay at the most. Arrive in the afternoon, find some gift shops, then spend the night and do all your touring the following day.

    I had a Hopi stew, and she had a Hopi beef. If you're passing through, pick the beef, it was v. nice. There's a museum, and art center, closed for winter. Well I put down American Traditional as the Restaurant category, because I couldn't find Hopi, or any other applicable category. Since they've been here for 20-30 thousand years already, that's traditional. But being named after one of the first illegals to arrive, Amerigo Vespucci is not right. Like the t-shirt says "Homeland Security - fighting since 1492".

    The food is good and it's one of the few spots to eat on Hopi. I've stayed I. The motel that is basic but sufficient.

    Menu has gone downhill. Frybread wasn't cooked thoroughly. No kids menu option. New management is doing horribly.
