The food was amazing, with a creative fusion of Mexican and Indian flavors. I had the tres enchiladas, and my buddy ordered the mutton tostada. We also tried the prickly pear lemonade, which was delicious and incredibly refreshing on the day before summer. Heather was our waitress, and she was fantastic. She kept our drinks topped off and made sure we never ran out of chips and salsa. Great food, great service, and a great experience overall. We'll definitely be back!
Driving from Prescott to Moab tends to limit the number of choices for lunch. Happily, when we were ready, the Amigo was there. The elote dip was fantastic. Not usually a fan of pork rinds, but these were tasty. I had never had a Navajo taco, so I went for it. No disappointment, it was really good. I especially enjoyed the mango habanero lemonade. Two things: 1. it's small so you might have to wait a bit (it's worth it) 2. No alcohol, so if you're looking for a cold brew, you won't find it here.
Stop for Navajo taco ... or something else.... On your way to or from a national park or Monument Valley and ready to eat? This is my go-to place to eat when in Kayenta, and can be yours also, if you love Navajo-Mexican food! The chips and spicy salsa were enjoyed while our chile relleno and Navajo taco were prepared... wow! Both meals had plenty of delicious hot food; I shared some of my taco's fry bread with my friend... it was so good! We liked the service from the moment we arrived at the place to the food on our table! All was very comfortable. We will be back! We had pink lemonade... reminder to all... no alcohol allowed on the Navajo reservation. Go enjoy the food! They're expanding seating area ... look forward to seeing it my next visit.
We stopped here for a late lunch on our way to Monument Valley. We tried the Navaho Taco and the three enchiladas entrees and found them tasty and different from anything we'd eaten in Wisconsin! The taco was made with native flatbread and is definitely worth trying. I had the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and wasn't disappointed. It had the right amount of heat without being bland. The service was good but they serve many customers in a small area. The cafe can be a little noisy when filled, so know that going in. We ended up going there on our way back south too!
Great experience, fresh & innovative food. So glad we checked it out I had the 3 sisters burrito, which was quite sweet, so I'd order something different next time. Highly recommend Amigo Cafe
Service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal. I order the Tres Enchiladas and my hubs got the Navajo Taco. Both were incredibly delicious!
Besides fast food places to eat are very limited in this area. We were staying at the Goulding Lodge and honestly I'm was not I. The mood for any of their food. So on our way there we decided to have dinner here and I'm glad we did. With time in hand. I searched Yelp and the reviews got me. We arrived and there was no one waiting outside, but the place was full. You need to wait outside or you can write down your number and they'll give you a call. We waited about 30 minutes to be called inside. It was so nice and cozy inside. The little fire place was running. It was perfect. I had the three sisters burrito. It's basically a veggie burrito smothered in their mole salsa. It was delish. My daughter had the pork taquitos and my husband combination plate. We started with the chips and salsa. The salsa was pretty spicy. I thought the chip serving was rather small compared to our local neighbors. Everything wet had was delish. We were all pleased with our meal after being on the road so long. We ended with the apple pie nachos. Super good. I strongly recommend. It was so good we came back for breakfast. I started off with the Red Chuli Chai latte. So good and spicy. I had the huevos rancheros. They were pretty good and they were served with a giant flour tortilla. My husband the the omelette. He was so satisfied. My daughter had the blue corn waffle. She was happy camper too. Next time you are on your way to Monument Valley or just passing through Kayenta you must stop here. The food is really good.
Wow, this place is great! Located in a very small town, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. We ordered their chimichanga with shredded beef and Navajo taco, both delicious. The Navajo flat bread is not made with lard, instead vegetable shortening, making it easier for us to eat. The bread was pillowy and tasty on its own, even better with the taco toppings. Also complimentary are their chips and salsa, which both tasted great. At the end we ordered their orange spice latte, which was tasty as well. Ambiance was simple and clean, and service was kind and helpful. For our NYE dinner, this place hit the spot!
Coffee closes at 5PM which is a bummer. The blue chip with salsa was flavorful. The navajo burger was a nice twist, too big of a portion for one person. Shrimp with Navajo bread was tantalizing, elote rib was pretty good. Not expecting this quality here!
We always stop here when doing a Monument Valley trip. Food is decent and ambiance lovely. Satisfied with service. The cafe is small so be prepared for a wait depending what time you go. Always go back here when I'm in the area
Great service and very flavorful food! Staying in Monument Valley--amazing views but the food at hotel not so amazing. This came recommended so we drove 17 miles and it was worth it! Hubby had Blue Corn burger with blue fry bread. I had Tres Enchiladas and they were tasty. Would highly recommend everything from this place. Very nice atmosophere. Go here!
I recently visited Monument Valley & the Arizona portion of the Navajo Nation to celebrate a personal milestone. I stopped by Amigo Cafe in Kayenta for dinner while I was in the area, and I was completely blown away by the entire experience. Amigo Cafe is a Navajo-owned restaurant that also has a coffeeshop on site. Their menu is a mash up of Navajo and Southwestern cuisine, and the space is thoughtfully decorated with plants, art, and a mixture of woods that evokes warmth and comfort. It was just what I needed after my hike at Monument Valley to round out the celebratory experience. Service at the restaurant was satisfactory during my visit and the dining room quickly filled up with what appeared to be a mix of tourists and local families from the area. The restaurant was actually on a wait when I left around 6 pm Arizona Time. For my meal, I ordered the Navajo Chalupa that came with blue corn fry bread, grilled shrimp, arugula, radish, cilantro, mango pico de gallo, scallion avocado aioli, and cilantro vinaigrette. The zesty ingredients from the chalupa packed a mighty punch that worked in perfect harmony with the crunchy and creamy elements in the chalupa. The hot and cold ingredients also perfectly complemented one another. I'm sure it's hard to tell from this review (/s), but this ended up being one of my favorite (Top 10) meals of 2024. In addition to the Navajo Chalupa, I also ordered a Buzzy Bee coffee drink. That was another home run! Final rating: 10/10

This family owned cafe is a hidden gem! Waited in the patio area to get seated for about 5-10 minutes. The waiters were attentive and when we told them we were on a bit of a time crunch, they sped up the service for us. We got the el combination plate which came with green chile enchilada sauce, pork tamale, beef taco, cheese enchilada, bean tostada, rice, beans, chips & amigo salsa! Very yummy and I enjoyed the pork tamale the most! Also tried their caramelized sandstorm coffee and it was delicious too. read more
Great service and great food! I was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of staff and the quality eats! It's a quantity little spot that was doing a brisk business and I can understand why! If your passing through give them a try! read more
Dropped by during our road trip because it was the only restaurant in town really that was still open. We got there around 7:30 PM and managed to get our names on the waitlist which they took away around 7:45 PM. We had to wait around 20 minutes for a party of two. The restaurant is definitely on the smaller size so keep that in mind when coming to dine - you may have to wait a bit especially with a larger party. I got the fry bread chalupa and my boyfriend got the three sisters burrito. Both were DELICIOUS! And very unique - I never had anything like that before but the taste was so good. The mole was creamy and packed with flavor. The amigo fries were good too but I will say they were on the small end. Overall, would recommend! read more
If you're traveling through Navajo nation (Kayenta) and looking for quality food look no further. This spot is off the beaten path, pay close attention to not miss it! The Navajo taco is a classic for this spot. I enjoyed the beef taco salad. We also got a chicken burrito. The food is fresh, full of spices and delicious! Expect a wait. Typically you're looking at 20 plus. It's a small cozy location. It's super cute inside with a hipster Navajo vibe. Our server Miko was a delight! read more

The taquitos were place on a delicious cheese sauce. The service was quick and nice. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous! I loved the aesthetic of the dining area. We will definitely be back! read more

I love this cafe! I wish I had more excuses to drive out this way. I got a fantastic vegetarian fry bread taco here that really set the bar high for other tacos! It was so good and filling I had to take one half to go for later. I also got the elote dip which was great!! I also got a latte to go which was great. I checked and I don't see the vegetarian taco on the menu on the website anymore. I hope that wasn't just a seasonal item. There is plenty of parking, service is fast and prices are good. The staff was nice and the ambience is cool. I enjoyed eating here! read more

Incredible authentic food. We were leaving the, The View Hotel and found the Amigo Cafe. Wonderful coffee menu. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend the tacos and fried bread chalupa with shrimp. The fajitas were good too. The staff were so sweet and great service. Go when it's opening you will find a line to eat there. read more
The food was delicious and the service was great. Fresh ingredients with light sauces, not heavy rubbery cheeses. The chicken nachos appetizer had savory tender chicken pieces with different sauces in it. There was a but of light queso sauce too. The shrimp fried bread with arugula entree was also very good. The bread was light and airy. The mango & tomato salsa on top was very flavorful. Finished it with a great strong cup of cappuccino. Would have had the affogato if they had chic ice cream. Too bad no wine or beer allowed. read more

After exploring Monument Valley, come check this spot out. A little mom & pop restaurant with delicious foods. Service is decent, inside is cute and cozy, Fry bread is delicious, portions are spectacular. The lemon pie was different for my tastebuds but I did enjoy it. Over this was a great experience. It was empty when I walked in, but within seconds it got busy. read more
