    We arrived early afternoon after visiting the Grand Canyon. We were greeted with a smile and cold drinks. The appetizers were great. The decor is interesting.

    The restaurant.

    You'll regret your decision. Barely ok. Would have rather went to McD's. Food was ok at best. Environment odd. Meh.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the food quality at Plaza Bonita given its remote location at the…read moreGrand Canyon. After a long day of sightseeing, we settled on Plaza Bonita. My husband got the Bonita salad with chicken, which was so fresh and delicious. The mangos and avocados were perfectly ripe. I think the dressing was made in house; this salad was a champion. I got the arroz con pollo without the cheese, but I thought the sauce and cheese would be together. This, it came with the sauce. No matter, it was still yummy with fresh veggies and good quality chicken. We definitely recommend Plaza Bonita after a long day at the Grand Canyon.

    For our first dinner on our Grand Circle trip, we went with Plaza Bonita, the Mexican restaurant…read moreright outside our hotel. 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

It was not my idea to come here my sweet niece was the one who wanted steak and well who am I to tell her no?! We walked into the steakhouse side only to stand there another couple walked in and we were all quickly ushered out by a host, to go sit in the bar area... the host then tried to seat the couple who came in after first which wouldn't have been a huge deal if I didn't have a kid who was starving. Thankfully the other party told him we had been waiting. We were sat at a high top in the bar, and waited.. the bar tender came around and let us know she'd be our waitress, the main waitress was very busy. There was also a man who worked there that kept walking by looking at us. Not sure if we weren't fancy enough or he thought we were going to eat and run or what.. to be fair we were in jeans and a sweatshirt and had just come from the canyon.. I will say the reason we stayed (besides being hungry) was our waitress. She made us feel welcome, and despite being busy checked in regularly. I asked about the filet she said it was truly really good... and my niece got the steak tips. We both enjoyed the dinner... the filet was tender, cooked to a perfect medium... could have used a little more seasoning but still good. The baked potatoes had everything to stuff it with on the side... and the asparagus was delicious and cooked perfectly. Do I think it was 56 good mehhhh but it was still tasty. I had to taste the steak bites and that was delicious too! Fries however were over cooked. Like I said, the bar tender/ waitress came back and checked on us several times - she was great which is why this is a 4 star review not a 3 star. Her kindness is why I am overlooking the other issues we had.

The hostess recognized our celebration request and said she would tell the waiter but the waiter said and did nothing. So kind of lame there. It's 120 years old and that's probably the main reason to go. The food was just ok. We got their famous French onion soup which was good but probably not worth $12 if in town. We decided to Elk out and get our fill while in the area. The Elk Milanese was like a chicken fried elk steak and pretty good. The Elk Bolognese was just like spaghetti with ground beef. Also good after a long day. FYI - Elk is kinda like lean beef. They had a dedicated water and bread person which was nice. Waiter was super slow though. But also nice. Deserts are displayed as you walk in. They are Actual size too and small so not really shareable. When I said "this isn't the real size right" the hostess said of course it is. At $12 and up it's pricey so we passed. If you're staying at a property in the village bring a flashlight or phone light because it's dark. Blue line Shuttle bus runs until 9:30 pm.

People were transparent in needing to book a reservation, so I did it as soon as they opened (30 days in advanced). I reserved a table for two, seated inside but looking right out towards the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed my meal while walking elk roam around outside and got to watch the sun set. My favorite dish from my dinner experience was the pork belly appetizer. I wish I had enough room to order two of them. The cookie cake was also a fun sweet to end the meal on. (entrees were good, but didn't stand out). What did stand out, though, was their vegetable portions! I loved !! It can be hard getting veggies in while on vacation, but my pesto pasta dish. Cane with green beans and a few other mix in veggies. (note: the restaurant doesn't have a bathroom within it...you walk downstairs to use the resort's bathroom. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been cleaner...)

Not to mention the spectacular views of the South Rim. Reservations are highly recommended for dinner, as it's a popular spot within the park. The vibe is casual but can feel slightly upscale. The staff are super friendly, making great conversation with patrons. Most, if not all staff live on the property, which explains their overexuberant attitude! We ordered the ribeye steaks (with the exception of my son). The steak was deeply caramelized, with a nice savory crust, it was tender, succulent, and perfectly cooked (medium rare). The mashed potatoes were silky and creamy, and the carrots were crisp and flavorful. Overall, we had an exceptional dining experience. Prices are reasonable- $58 (12 oz) ribeye steak!
