    I had the ground beef taco salad which was good, my husband had the ground beef taco, which was good as well. The salsa that comes with the chips was delicious, great flavor. Service was outstanding! It was a nice day so we sat outside on the patio. Nice atmosphere, we will go back!

    Good portions, tasty food, really great service. Stopped by for dinner as it was walking distance from my hotel. Asked for a recommendation and was given number 5 with one item each of 3 different meats: clocked, pork and shredded beef. I think I liked the pork more than the other two personally. Going back I might try ground beef and the asada.

    Went for the chili Relleno this weekend but got the taco salad with chicken instead. It was good but not as good as the chili Relleno. Loved the crispy shell. As always the service was excellent and the salsa is good enough to drink. I got pics this time, but only after I deconstructed the salad.

    Eating my beef tostada was more challenging than I expected, lol.

    Delicious food with excellent service. We couldn't believe how quick they were to serve us our meals. Really good and authentic Mexican food, would go back the next time I'm in town. Loved that my food was great the next morning, I even enjoyed eating it cold.

    Carne Asada Burrito !! So good.

    This is one of the few places open on a Sunday night in Kanab. When my wife and I arrived, around 5:30, it was spent getting busy. We had to wait 10-15 minutes to get seated. I ordered the plain carne asada (steak) burrito and the wife got the carnitas plate. Both were exceptional! I have eaten Mexican food all over the US and a few other countries and that has to be one of the best burritos I've ever eaten! My wife really enjoyed her plate too! The staff were very friendly and busting their butts to try to keep up. They were friendly and quick to bring us what we needed. My suggestion to them is to wait for the customer to finish speaking before running off. Would have saved them a few trips. I like that they already have a large carafe of ice water and delicious chips and salsa waiting for you when you are seated!!

    Steak Chimichanga enchilada style with side of refried beans and rice

    As others mentioned, one of the few places open on Sunday nights, unfortunately they are closed on Saturday's, but a decent trade off. We have been here a couple times now, and the place is consistent in a lot of ways! Family run, they have a small dining area and some large tables outside in a covered area. Parties over 4 need to eat out there unless the middle tables inside can be moved together. They are always on a wait pr packed, and do a ton of to go orders. The service is the only knock on this place and a small one. If you need something, you need to flag someone down as they tend to not come back to tables. Unfortunate, but is what it is. Steak chimichanga is my go to and they stuff it with beans, lettuce, and red enchilada sauce baked into the shell. It crunches like a cracker. The side of refried beans are money with a thin layer then melted cheese on top. The rice is the best, hands down...do bot skip the rice!! The chili verde tostado was also spot on, as anything is in green sauce out west!! See you next time my friends!

    Ran in from the pouring rain!! Umbrella set aside to drip away from others.. thanks for that suggestion! Delicious chips and salsa. Fish taco and cheese enchilada washed down with Mexican beer. My tostada with guacamole was fantastic! Also had a side of refried beans. Love this place! Always eat here when in the area! Thank you for great food and service!!!

    Veggie burrito
    Jamie M.

    I love this place especially after a long hike. The taco salad and the veggie burrito are so good. The chips and salsa are always perfect. I wish they had caffeine free diet soda but that's ok. Sometimes there is a wait but the folks here are so kind I don't mind. On a very busy day parking can be tough but I've never not found a spot. Price is pretty good and they give you so much food!! The service is fast once you're seay s and there are clean restrooms. Easily my favorite burrito in Utah :)

    Carne Asada Grilled Steak Plate - So good! Better than previous restaurant I tried this at.

    Easy to find this spot in the small town of Kanab, got here for an early dinner sometime just after 5pm and glad we did because when we left there was a line out the door! Indoor and outdoor seating available and restroom was pretty clean. Maybe it was a coincidence or because of spacing but they had big families and kids sit outside which made the indoor seating a bit more peaceful. Some booths, tables and what seemed like a community table. I ordered the Carne Asada grilled steak and was hesitant since the other dishes seem more popular but WOW!!! The steak was full of flavor but didn't taste like it was coated in salt like other Mexican restaurants. I will be craving this steak for a while! It was cooked perfectly and a big piece for the price. Lots of flavor and didn't need extra sauce to be delicious. The beans also tasted like beans and not just brown mush which I enjoyed. Just in town during a road trip but I'd definitely return for the steak when I'm back! The dish came with 3 tortillas and I used them to make bean and rice burritos to-go. Horchata was pretty good. A bit more watery and sweet than I prefer personally but definitely not the worst! I always try to include photos in my reviews.

    Our hotel recommended this. Small wait but worth it. Waitress super nice, may be owner or manager. She knew how to do it. Food really good! We had chicken burritos. Small place with some patio seating. Great service. Only wish we could stay to eat here again.

    What a cute bakery! We came here twice on visits to Zion and have enjoyed pretty much everything…read morewe've tried here. Plus, service is really friendly, parking is super easy, and prices are very reasonable! We tried the Bumbleberry Pie, Bumbleberry Turnover, Bumbleberry Pie Hole, and Bumbleberry Crunch ice cream. Everything was pretty good, besides the pie hole, which I thought had too high of a crust:filling ratio. You can order the pie either as a whole pie or a slice. It looked like it's a mix of blueberries and blackberries, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Super good. The ice cream was also delicious. They give color-changing spoons, which my kids loved. And the turnover was good even eating it the next morning. They also sell other goodies like fudge, popcorn (many flavors), and whole coffee beans. And the places to sit are so cute! They are connected to the gift shop, so it was easy to buy some ice cream and eat it while browsing the gift shop.

    Perfect spot after a long day hiking in Zion!! They are located not too far from the park entrance…read more(not walkable though). The workers were extremely friendly and the line moved really quickly. So many yummy flavors that it was hard to choose which one! There's a few cute ice cream themed tables/chairs to sit and eat your ice cream and the walls are filled with history of the building. It's also connected to a shop for perusing after your snack.
