The restaurant is very clean, well lit with hint of cleaning detergents. The restrooms are clean and private, one person. The wait staff are attentive, good listeners, excellent communicators and very friendly, also very strong to carry the heavy plates. Staff have good hygiene and wear gloves. The food (ribeye) is really good, still pink inside. Some good appetizers, like salsa and chips. The salsa was mildly hot. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for so long and finally got the chance to do so!! I went during lunch time and they were super busy, but they were doing well at managing the tables. I ordered the famous stuffed sopapilla and I it was dripping with goodness!!! Talk about cooked to perfection, with the medley of green chile and other varieties of flavors. Let's just say that it did not last long at all on my plate!!! I think that the portion sizes were great and I was very full, and felt like I got my moneys worth. Our Waitress was bursting with personality, and made sure to check on us to see if we were doing okay! My first experience was superb, and I will definitely be stopping by again pretty soon! read more

We ate here after driving up from Chinle. We had intended to go to Ed's Café, but couldn't find it. Finally, we settled We settled on this restaurant overall. MEH. Service was good. We both ordered Navajo tacos. The fry bread was more like ""Pizza edge", pizza crust, which is great, but it's not an Indian or Navajo fry bread. The green salsa was excellent, the red salsa was OK. The meat, which was ground beef, I did not care for it. Left an aftertaste like it was going bad or something. They use whole beans as supposed to refried beans which was good and the shredded lettuce and vegetables were also OK. Overall, if I had to go back there again, I wouldn't order the Navajo taco. I might try something else, if it's only a bowl of that green chili and tortilla. read more

The workers take forever but I would give them some time.The food is really good though,they have nice staff!it's kinda cold in the restaurant it's okay and calm. read more

Ate here again a few days ago after a looong break. I took a break because the service was so bad. However, this time it was much improved. The food was also good as always. My compliments to the cook staff. I ordered the turkey with green chile sandwich and red chile cheese fries. It was excellent. Good to see that they changed up the menu and added some new things I want to try. In all, a fairly good experience. read more

Poor management. There was a mistake with my To Go Order and management, Vanessa, was unprofessional in making things right. I won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

Can't speak to the food, only to the business plan and communication. Like seemingly just about everything else in Window Rock, Cocina de Dominguez has made an incomprensible choice of business hours. Upon finding Diné had already closed at 6:00 p.m. on a Saturday, we were told by staff that Cocina de Dominguez was open until 9:00 so we could get something to eat. Nope. read more

Cinco de Domingos is an excellent family-run restaurant in the Navajo Nation Capital of Window Rock. It is located within walking distance of the Quality Inn, the only hotel in town. The restaurant features mostly Mexican with some American cuisine. Chips and Salsa were complimentary, with one free refill. They were provided promptly when we were seated. The salsa was fresh, and had just the right bite to it. The special the night we were there was NY strip, two cheese enchiladas, beans, rice, and tortilla for $10.99. The obverse of the special board had Ribeye two cheese enchiladas, beans, rice, and tortilla for $12.99, so I have a feeling steak specials are offered several times a week. I ordered the special, which was very delicious. The steak was cooked to temperature, and was a thin strip. It was not particularly seasoned, but still had good flavor. The red sauce on the cheese enchiladas was also a nice blend of flavor and temperature. The rice and bean portions were a bit meager, but still had good flavor. My wife ordered the two item combo with chile relleno, enchilada and taco, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The chile pepper on the relleno had a good amount of heat to it, and she had that pleasure/pain look all through her meal. She thought it was one of the best she had eaten in some time. The children's menu offered a good selection with decent prices. It had both Mexican and American items. Our daughter got the beef taco, which she liked alot. The restaurant was about half-full on a Thursday night at dinnertime, so I suspect it gets packed on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as when any big games are on. The restaurant had about 3-4 big flatscreen TVs with various sports on. The staff is all Navajo, and they provided outstanding service. We were greeted warmly at the door, with typical Diné friendliness. The waitstaff and bussers often stopped by to offer refills or just to check if everything was ok. The restaurant also served breakfast and lunch, but we did not try them at that time. Finally, they offered a military discount for Active Duty service members. This is not surprising, as the Navajos value Military service and have a rich military tradition from WWII up to our present day wars. If you are visiting the area, and are looking to eat, I recommend you give them a try! read more

Good food. Nice friendly staff. Open Monday to Friday lunch and dinner. No beer or wine. Located on the navajo reservation

If you find yourself in Window Rock (and I can't imagine why you would!), you must, must, must try Cocina De Dominguez. It has all the appeal of a NJ Diner -- which the room reminded me of! But oh my goodness, the food is amazing! The chips and salsa are terrific! I had the #1 combo and I highly recommend it. My husband had fajitas which were also terrific. The portions are very generous and you sure won't leave hungry. The service is cordial and helpful. Everything was hot, fresh and yummy -- don't miss it! read more

ABODABO. Everything else is your average Mexican dish. At $10-15, they're a little pricey. BUT the abodabo alone warrants a 5-star review. Also, endless chips and salsa (which is pretty delicious and spicy btw) confirms the star rating as well. read more

One of the absolute best in town. I can't get away from the rellenos. But I've tried other dishes and you won't be disappointed. Very friendly, accommodating people. Don't miss this one. read more

Food is yummy. Service is usually good, unless they are super busy at lunchtime, then you may get slow reactions. Example, my drink was never brought, even though the server was reminded 3x. The restaurant has a lot of tables, and again food is yummy. read more

Omg!! Amazing Green Chili Bacon Cheeseburger!! Highly recommend it to those in the Window Rock area. :)

Excellent and friendly service. Chips were clearly old, but the salsa made up for it. Had Navajo taco on fry read that was as tasty as grandma's. Parents had chile relleno. One with red, one Christmas. Red was hot, but delicious. Would come here again for sure. read more

Can't particularly comment on anything except the steak chimi lunch combo. It was 13 out the door. But, my particular comment is about the time I went and one component of my meal. I asked for the combo (comes with a small scoop of rice and refried beans) and instead of the regular meat I'd like steak to be the meat. That's where it went wrong, steak was tough and chewy and lacked any seasoning or even hints of lime or marinade. Cut into smaller pieces it was manageable but without the flavor the rest of the dish was lackluster. As a local I always eat with a grain of salt but literally this time I had to add it myself. I'd maybe try another day, not noon on a weekday to give them another shot. read more

Located east of Route 12, just north of Hwy 264. Genuine Mexican restaurant with a touch of Navajo. Had the Navajo taco...typical Mexican ingredients of beans, meat, and vegies, with red or green chili (made from the good stuff from Hatch, NM), on Navajo frybread. Delicious. read more

Cocina De Dominguez - Navajo taco - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Window Rock, Arizona

So happy we strolled into this place from a long day of driving. I tried to stick with the local cuisine so I had myself a Navajo Taco. The GREEN CHILE was exceptional! I had to get an extra order to take it To-Go. Our wait staff, Jeri, was very helpful and attentive with our needs regarding Points of Interests and cultural customs as visitors to this beautiful land. Service was above and beyond and very friendly. Food was great and definitely worthy of a return in the future! Thank You to everyone there for making us feel so very welcome! read more

Literally could have got better taquitos in the frozen isle at the grocery store. Feel bad giving a one star though since it was my first time trying Cocina De Dominguez, so I'd be willing to give a different dish a try. read more

The food is good, not as tasty as it 'could be', the manager/owner Brian and Julie are the best! The day is best for service, where as the night cooks are sloppy and very unprofessional, servers are always courteous, it's really too bad they get the short end of the stick. And lunch time is busy, get there early! read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch in early July 2013. I had the Frito pie, which was probably the best I've ever had. She had posole, which was unusually good. This restaurant is very busy (at least for lunch), since it's one of only two restaurants in Window Rock that have table service. The chips and salsa aren't anything to write home about, but the rest of the meal made me eager to return. read more

Great food and terrific service!! Had the Navajo taco with green chili which was one of the best I have ever had. The salsa is great with just the right amount of spice. Definitely recovery mend this place. read more

This is a fantastic find. Located in a shopping mall in window rock I never thought I would find Posole this good. Julie was awesome. Very busy with a full restaurant and she still was very attentive. Bean enchilada also a hit with me. read more

Food it great, Price is ok, but they are pretty busy during lunch. You have to be a little aggressive to get food right away.

Went here 2 weeks ago and it was not busy. Food seemed cold, piping hot would have been nice. The chimichangas appeared microwaved, crust was thick and crunchy. Chips n salsa were OK. Rice and beans were average. The cheese on the chimi appeared cold, partially melted. It's under new management but willing to give it one more try though. I love the bathroom mirror and tile. Haha. Service was OK. read more
