    Great food and fantastic service! I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    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!

    Service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal. I order the Tres Enchiladas and my hubs got the Navajo Taco. Both were incredibly delicious!

    3 sisters burrito and chicken enchiladas. Also, they're green salsa, which comes complementary with chips, is divine

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

We asked for some honey to put on top of the bread and it added another level of flavor. I'm so glad we'll be passing through again in 2 days so I can order more stew. They close at 9 and started turning people away around 8:45. They easily could have served another 15 people before 9 had they allowed them to dine. Staff was friendly and running to service all the guests. They just completed a renovation in which they weren't supposed to be open yet and we are so glad they were. Only real restaurant in town but you wouldn't know it by how good it is.

Known to local…read moreNavajo or Diné as Biligaana Tso, or Fat White Man, the restaurant was named for the civic leader and founder of the Wetherill Inn. Overall, it was a solid experience. The fry bread is outstanding, and an easy five stars. The green chile was more of a three-to-four-star dish, although I'd probably order it again. It had a complex, interesting flavor, but something about it struck me as tasting slightly mass-produced. Service was excellent and five star. Overall, I'd give the experience about 4.25 stars and happily return for the overall quality, setting, and chance to see if they can deliver a five-star experience across the board.

    This place was great!! We were staying at their hotel and we got into town very late, around maybe…read more8:15 I want to say (I think it says they close at 8 online but it must be 9). We had been hiking all day and driving here for the night. The town is on the reservation and this area didn't have much besides a couple fast food spots. We really didn't want fast food, so we saw only one restaurant in town open until 9 and were headed there. We were worried we wouldn't be able to check into our hotel so late though and we were going to pass it on the way to this other restaurant we found online. When we went inside to check in, we saw they had a restaurant and it looked good! I asked if we could eat there or if they were closed and he said yes if we went right away since they'd be closing in about 45 min. We just decided to stay there and eat and it was really nice! The hotel was really a Motel but surprisingly pretty nice, with this nice restaurant too! We were just glad to not have to eat fast food. They had a real menu, with reasonable prices and very large portions! We really could've shared a meal. I was only disappointed that they were out of their bread and fajitas which were their specialties. But, I got the quesadilla and it was one of the best veggie quesadillas I have ever had! Only thing to note, is that gratuity was automatically included. (We were a table of 4) so we didn't realize it and ended up tipping on top of that way extra! The service was normal but nothing crazy, so we were a little upset we basically paid for an entire extra meal without realizing it but that's our bad. We paid in cash because they were only accepting cash at that time and so I didn't really put together the "added gratuity" until we were splitting the bill after amongst ourselves, because I didn't write in a tip and sign since it was cash and not card. I just looked at the total. Sooo just be aware that your tip will already be added to your bill :) Definitely loved the food and loved that there was a no fast food option in the area and would recommend stopping here and even staying at the motel!

OH, and by the way, they were out of many menu items. There's not a lot to choose from in the area but you can bet I did not eat breakfast there. ​

Also came with pico and sour cream on a huge piece of Indian fry bread. Delicious and way too much for one person. I addition to the fry bread we added the salad and sweet potato fries. Total for two entrees, two drinks, and one additional side was just north of $50 for two people. Definitely a very unique experience, with different tasting and flavored food except the salad was pretty much what you would expect to get back home. However, the Indian fry bread was really delicious.
