The CERT level of service and the quality of food is tremendous here at this restaurant. Gallup should be proud to have such a café offering some of the best we had three hamburger fried bread sandwiches with fried bread and we ordered three extra fried bread. The fried breads are like 14 inches wide. And they are not greasy. I give this place a 10 out of 10.

I had the fry bread loaded up with toppings and lamb. I didn't really expect much going into the hole in the wall and place but the food was fantastic. The vibe when you ate there gave you very much Native American, even the music playing to the customers who dined there, all very native. I felt like I was immersed in a cultural food experience. Also, there's a lot of negative reviews about them "never being open", I read those and rather than just showing up I called on the road trip to Phoenix to see if they were open, they didn't answer so on my way back home To Albuquerque I called again, they answered and I went and dined there. Do I think they could be more transparent about hours? Yes. But hey, if you call places before you go you won't have this issue. I know I do! Especially these tiny mom pop shops

We found this gem on Yelp while traveling from Sedona to Sante Fe. We wanted a traditional experience and it's exactly what we got. This was our first experience of traditional Indian fry bread used on a Navajo taco. The portion was big enough for the two of us to share. The lamb was delicious and we definitely left full. The staff was amazingly friendly and we learned about local legend Senator John Pinto. If only this place was closer.... Stop and give it a try!!!

Lamb roast and grilled lamb ribs are the specialties of the house. Navajo cooking emphasizes natural flavors. The meat is only lightly seasoned. Portions are huge. One order of lamb rib sandwich on fry bread can easily feed 2. Service is quick and friendly. Different cuts of lamb are for sale. It's a unique place to try.

Was visiting Gallup and found this place on Yelp. We're navajo and particular about our native foods. Owned and served by our navajo sisters and brothers. The food was delicious and service was great!!!! Huge portions!!!!! Very quaint as country music filled the air. Great place! Come eat!!

Navajo Taco

Stopped on the way home to TX because you can't be in NM and not get Frybread and some green chile, right? Absolutely amazing Navajo Taco the size of a pizza. The Frybread might be the best I have ever had! Service was warm, friendly, and like being in someone's home. Don't let the aesthetics deter you. This place is a treasure!

Navajo Tacos...large and yummy!

Veri and the staff does a fantastic job. They are super friendly and the authentic local food was delicious. I got the Navajo tacos on fry bread and added salsa and a hatch chili it was very good. My family got the rib sandwich (lamb) and Navajo burger (beef) they said everything was great. We ordered the dumpling (lamb) to share and the thick noodles and lamb was very good. This place is must try in Gallup

Loved every second that I was here. The atmosphere here is amazing!! They have a strong sense of community that isn't really found elsewhere. The store owner was so friendly and welcoming; the food was incredibly yummy. Strongly recommend the Navajo Tacos!

El Rancho Restaurant - Hatch green chili mac and cheese with chicken

Wow! Best food I've had in a long time!…read more I came for the historic hotel on the way home from Telluride to Scottsdale. There didn't seem to be much around to eat that was open on a Sunday so I came to the hotel restaurant. I saw lots of people had the chips so ordered the trio dip appetizer. The guac was definitely my favorite. So flavorful and fresh! The salsa was delicious but a little extra spicy and the queso was yummy! I ordered a cup of the green chile pork stew and it was spicy but delicious, a little light on the pork but very good. I got the Rita Moreno three chicken enchiladas with green chile. Best chicken enchiladas I've had in a long time! The chicken was moist and had just the right amount. Excellent flavor and melted cheese. The rice and beans were very bland. My friend got the chicken mole and got light sauce but she wished she had got the full sauce because it was that good! The whipped potatoes and sautéed veggies were the perfect accompaniment. I wish this place was where I lived because I would eat here as often as I could. Great atmosphere and service too. Had fun wandering around the gift shop after.

Kind of stuck in Gallup for places to eat. The area is sad and we didn't feel safe walking around…read morethe area after dark, plus a lot of places are only open for breakfast through lunch. We went to the bar and waited for our table. The place was packed due to several motorcycle clubs from all over the country doing the Route 66. When we were finally seated, the first off-putting thing was our waitress. She was chewing a wad of gum and it was gross. I had a burger as did my friend. Our husbands ordered different types of pasta. We asked our gum chewing waitress for water 3 times. "Oh sorry, I'll bring it". Nope, a food runner finally brought us water. We asked for mayo 2 times. Nope. The same food runner brought it. By then, our food had been on the table for 15 minutes. The fries could have been cooked another 3 minutes. Not really crispy. The pasta was decent.
