    Mutton & dumpling Fry bread taco
    Uyen N.

    We came a little after noon and they already sold out of 2 items on the menu. The best dishes are the burger and grilled lamb. We like the fry bread! The mutton and dumpling is very bland, they just don't put salt in so you have to add it yourself. It also has a very strong lamb smell. It comes with a fry bread too. Fry bread burger is like a normal burger but with fry bread instead of normal bun. The grilled lamb is well seasoned, but I'm not a big fan of boiled potato. Taco has beans and minced meat, with lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese. You can add sour cream. It is better to add some salt on the taco as well. It's nice that each dish comes with a soft drink.

    Woooowwww! This place was truly a sight for sore eyes. We drove up to stop for lunch and so happy we did. The owners were wonderful and told us about how they started the food stand. Outdoor seating or they can pack it to Go but I recommend hanging out and chowing down. The food was incredible. Flavors perfect. They also had homemade sauces for you if you asked. Navajo taco was so good it was unreal. My man got the muttin sandwich (lamb) and he couldn't stop talking about it for how good it was. Each menu item came with a canned soda. We also go the tigers blood snow come and it was a perfect cool down treat.

    After a morning exploring the eastern end of the Grand Canyon, I was in the mood for a little snack, and the Yummy Shack was a sight for sore eyes. Originally, I had planned on just getting an order of frybread, but something about the mutton sandwich was calling my name. So I placed my order, waited at one of the few tables under a tent, and a few minutes later, was greeted with my order. I've eaten a lot of great sandwiches, but the mutton sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. Frybread made to order, tasty mutton, tender potatoes, corn, and a nice hatch chile. At $17 for a sandwich and drink, prices are on the pricier side for takeout, but the size of the sandwich was huge and it was tastier than many (more expensive) restaurant meals I have eaten. Certainly better than anything inside the park for a similar price. If not for being full, I'd have ordered another sandwich, it was that good. The shack literally is just that- a shack on the east side of 89 in Cameron. A large dirt lot provides plenty of parking and there are about half a dozen picnic tables under a tent next to the shack. Service is quite friendly, and reasonably fast given the size of the operation. Would I return? In a heartbeat.

    Be extra careful not to miss this spot, as it's easy to overlook! We loved the chance to eat locally, and the service was incredibly attentive. We tried the Navajo Burger and the Navajo Taco, which were unique and different from what we expected. Everything is made with their signature fried bread, so we were super happy to have the opportunity to try something authentic and support a local business. The prices are affordable, and they even include a soft drink. We're thrilled we made this stop!

    Awesome road side shack. Do not be put off by the outside. The food is amazing, family owned with the owner lady making and serving you. Chili is made fresh everyday. Outdoor seating with all the neighbors!

    This place is a plywood shack with coolers on the side of the road. This is some scary eating. Didn't wanna take the risk of getting food poisoning today basing the review on interaction with the employees and checking the place out with my eyes and the food that people were eating.

    Expensive Navajo Taco I purchase $17 better off going to Cameron restaurant and get your money worth. Lettuce wasn't chopped and small portion of beans, beans seasoning was a little spicy.

    Soft drinks on ice in a cooler came with our meals

    Oh my goodness! This is the largest gift shop with all the handmade gifts in this part of America!…read more I found Cameron Trading Post during my drive from Page to Sedona. There is a restaurant, hotel and a giant gift shop in the building. The amount of amazingly beautiful handmade jewelry, pottery and accessories ... just mind blowing! Very hard to walk away from buying anything, so be prepared to spend some serious money here! Besides more turquoise jewelry, I also bought some Prickly Cactus Pear Jelly, and a Prickly Cactus Pear Marmalade. There are multiple cashier counters, so you don't have to worry about waiting in line for too long. The cashiers are very nice and helpful with any questions you may have. Taking pictures or videos without permission is not allowed! It's a great place to stop during your trip, for a restroom break, or shopping or just a scenery around the area.

Guessing based on their breakfast that their lunch/ dinner is good... but it's hard to find good breakfast places and this is definitely one! * Highly recommend the Warrior Surprise and the Ranch Hand. *The Navajo taco with an egg anyway you want it... not only tasty but such a huge portion. Get the fresh onions and salsa on the side and you can decide how much you want if it. * The country fried steak was tender and that is some of the best gravy that comes with the Ranch Hand. Recommend opting for the fry bread for an extra 1.75... totally a treat! *Service was attentive and friendly * Dining room views of the outside was pretty. * Didn't stay at the lodge but would consider it given the pretty landscaping and access to a restaurant within walking distance... a good restaurant. *Clean restrooms *Can get busy when tour busses stop *Def will return

    I came to this location while visiting Navajo Nation on December 20th, 2023. I ordered a few items…read moreto get a sample of what the location has to offer and to support the Navajo! What I got: Navajo Tacos Navajo tacos are deliciously crispy on the outside and are made with fry bread and topped with a meaty mixture of taco seasoned ground beef and beans, then all the traditional accouterments like sour cream, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes. The Navajo Taco fry bread is similar to a funnel cake. The side of salsa served with this taco provided a kick to the back of the throat (in a good way)! When on a tour of the Navajo Nation, I learned the Navajo saying dah díníilghaazh, or bááh dah díníilghaazh, refers to frybread. Bááh can be a blanket term for baked goods, or for breads. Dah díníilghaazh describes the process of creating frybread, specifically. Further, the first Navajo taco was created by Lou Shepard, who worked for the tribe in the 1960s as manager of the Navajo Lodge. If given the opportunity to try these tacos, don't pass it up! Mutton Stew What I learned about this dish on my tour of the Navajo Nation: Mutton stew consists of mutton simmered in a simple broth and is often accompanied by fry bread, a form of unleavened bread that became a staple of the Navajo diet during their forced Long Walk and internment at Bosque Redondo during the 1860s. Sheep were introduced into the Americas by the Spanish in the sixteenth century, along with horses and cattle. During this time, the Navajo traded and raided for sheep from the Spanish. This stew I ordered was filling and hearty. This stew was made with mutton, onions, garlic, thyme, tomato purée, celery, carrots, potatoes, hispi cabbage, sweetcorn and black pepper. All of the full flavors could be tasted throughout the stew. This dish was accompanied by frybread and honey. I placed these meals to go while I shopped inside of the Cameron Trading Post. The dishes took approximately 20 minutes to be prepared. The service received from the cashier was courteous and warm. The Navajo dishes were made fresh and were filling. In total, I ordered Mutton Stew, two Navajo Tacos, and a chicken wrap with fries, which came to about $50 (I believe). #ThankyouNavajoNation #supportlocal

    Fry bread! Hot and fresh too!…read more Navajo tacos AKA Indian fry bread is such a delicious treat especially when you're in the middle of nowhere and food options are extremely limited. On a recent trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon we stumbled upon a place called Jacob Lake Inn. This food stand is located right in front of the inn. Navajo tacos can be made savory or sweet depending on what you top them with and both versions are pretty amazing. The savory ones can be topped with your favorite meat like bison & chicken and fresh lettuce, tomato, green onions, sour cream, cheese, etc. The sweet ones can be topped with honey butter, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, etc. So what exactly is fry bread? Its a flat dough bread, fried or deep-fried. It has a crispy shell but is fluffy and airy inside. And the fun part is you can top it with a lot of delicious goodies. Truly the best thing we ate all week while in the area. Outdoor seating is available right next to the food stand as well.

The food options in general in the Grand Canyon are grim, so we didn't expect too much, only being lured in by the promise of 10% off due to our hotel stay at the Red Feather Lodge. The food was even worse than our low expectations. Walking in for dinner on Saturday during the shoulder season, it wasn't very busy at all. And yet we felt like we were ignored for a good while before we were able to place our order. Service in general was very slow, with the waitress disappearing for several long stretches of time. For example, it took about 20 minutes to get our order in after we had sat down and then another 20 minutes after we had finished to get the check. At least the chips and salsa arrived quickly. Chips and Salsa (Complementary) - These are standard yellow corn tortilla chips, with tons of tiny crushed chips on the bottom and larger whole ones on top. The salsa is slightly spicy, tangy, has plenty of crunchy chopped onion and tender tomatoes mixed in along with fresh herbs. Pretty standard stuff but tasty. Pork Carnitas ($29.99) - When this dish came out we were not sure what exactly we had received. What was on the plate certainly didn't look like carnitas; instead it looked like some kind of pork stew. We flagged the waitress down and she insisted they were carnitas. Strange. The "carnitas" consists of cubed and stewed pork mixed with celery and peppers. The cubes are compressed and cannot be shredded apart. There is a tiny bit of texture on some pieces that indicate that they had been fried at some point, but they are mostly tender instead. The texture reminds me of commercial pork that's been injected with saline and preservatives. It's very lean but the stewing liquid adds tons of rich, deep, flavors to the dish. Unfortunately the pork itself doesn't taste good. There's a strange off flavor, perhaps of older or freezer burned meat. The rice and beans are pretty normal. The rice is moist but each fried grain can be felt. It has appropriate salty tomato flavor. The beans are tender and mostly mashed, a little on the silky/watery side with some pieces of bean remaining. They are seasoned appropriately. Given the texture on the beans I wonder if they are from a can and/or direct from a commercial supplier. This dish is served with four small flour tortillas which are the worst I have ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. They are completely dried out, glued together into a stack. Clearly no care was given to storage. Any Mexican restaurant should be ashamed at serving the quality of the tortillas we received. Finally, there's some pico de gallo and guac to create some "carnitas" tacos. The guac is quite tangy from citrus juice. No matter what the waitress said, I don't think this dish was "Pork Carnitas." Even after leaving the restaurant, I tried to do some research to see if there is some regional variation of carnitas that could match this dish. I found nothing. From the pictures of another review 10 years ago, I see Plaza Bonita used to serve real carnitas - shredded deep fried pork. The switch to cubed pork must be a cost cutting measure. (1/5) Combo #2, Enchilada, Burrito, Green Corn Tamale, Shredded Beef ($24.99) - I'm not sure why anyone would order Combo #1 when the #2 is only a dollar more! The main difference between the enchilada and burrito is the tortilla used. The former has a corn tortilla, soaked a bit until soft and tender. There's a bit of standard red enchilada sauce poured on top, followed by just a bit of cheese. The burrito uses a toothsome and pliable flour tortilla that is rather tough and requires some work to get through with a knife. Both items I chose to get stuffed with shredded beef, which is actually pretty decent. It's very tender, very flavorful since they've been stewed for a while in some kind of sauce. The green corn tamale seems to be masa mixed with whole sweet corn kernels, and green chile skins (only a tiny bit of each). They add a lot of sugar, so the whole thing kind of tastes like eating sweet cornbread. The tamale is otherwise tender in texture and easy to eat. The texture is like that of an extruded masa, like it was prepared commercially in a factory. My guess based on the texture and appearance is that this isn't made in house. (3/5) Plaza Bonita was really disappointing. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous for what we received. They serve very low quality food for obscene prices. I think the only reason they survive as a business is because nothing else in the area is good either. Bathrooms - Two rooms with multiple stalls
