Fry Bread
Ashton M.

Saw the large sign for the fry bread on the interstate and had to go try it out. The shop is full of beautiful hand-made art. It was my first time having fry bread so we decided to try it plain and it was incredible! I also purchased beautiful earrings. If we every make to New Mexico again, we will definitely be stopping by again.

Delicious is an understatement.

Amazing taco on Fry Bread!!

Follow the bright colored signs stating "Fry Bread" to the Laguna Pueblo and the best Fry Bread around! I have been stopping here for years and never written a review because I wanted to keep this gem to myself but I think everyone should enjoy this Fry Bread!! Make sure to bring cash because debt/credit is not accepted. You should seriously take a short trip off of the interstate to stop and have some fry bread here because it is absolutely amazing and well worth it (oh and her salsa is delicious)!!

Very great place.  Ask for Dominic.

Wow! What an incredible experience. The young man in the store was so polite and helpful. As we looked at different pieces of art in the store he told us its significance. We told him we'd been up the road a ways on a day road trip. He pulled out a map and suggested about 1/2 dozen more. The art pieces were beautiful. I really loved the jewelry too. Stop by and have a look.

Indian tacos and Indian fry bread yum. Also the Indian art is very beautiful inside. Very nice people. Make sure you have cash for the Indian bread. Easy to find right off the freeway. Go straight through the roundabout.

Wonderful hand made, fresh, Indian Fry Bread. Well worth a little wait. Great Indian artifacts. Worth the stop!

Here is the outside.

We followed the brightly colored highway signs to the best fry bread tacos ever! We have eaten fry bread tacos from Montana to Arizona to Colorado to Utah and these were perfection. I loved that they didn't put onions on theirs! It's just hamburger, beans, lettuce and cheese all wrapped in the most flavorful pocket of delicious fry bread. It's a little tricky getting here. Go around the round-about through (as if you were proceeding straight). It's just a "block" or so from the round-about. After you order your food, go into the shop that is full of beautiful art made by local artists throughout the region. The staff are all full of authentic friendliness and smiles. It feels like you've just pulled up to your aunt and uncle's house. It was simply perfection! I love the bracelet I bought!

See all

Acoma Pueblo - Dramatic vistas everywhere.

Acoma Pueblo

Don't bother. The "pueblo" is just a bunch of mis-matched houses patched with modern materials like…read morevinyl windows, concrete blocks, bricks, and tar paper. Window air conditioning units abound. Cars are parked willy-nilly everywhere so there is no way to take a decent photo. The tour was supposed to be at least 45 minutes but the tour guide (not very informative) was shooing us back onto the bus at 25 minutes. The history of the pueblo is interesting but the present-day reality, not so much. Serious disappointment.

The most striking of the Pueblo villages, and perhaps the oldest continuously occupied community in…read morethe USA, is Acoma Pueblo, and more particularly, Sky City. 60 miles west of Albuquerque, N.M., the "People of the White Rock," first established their adobe homes atop this isolated butte 360 feet above the arid plain below sometime in the 12th Century, long before the invading Conquistadors in the 16th Century. A perfect fortress against marauders, the few thousand locals who worked the land below and maintained the hidden stairways and tunnels to the 70 flat acres above, were prosperous farmers and traders with indigenous groups as far away as the Aztec and Mayans in Central America, with established trails from ocean to ocean. For anyone who has visited Israel and climbed Masada overlooking the Dead Sea, Acoma Sky City feels like a brother citadel. The climb is not as long, but the sense of history and humanity is as powerful. You can now take a motorized vehicle to the summit, but that would be cheating you out of a most challenging and unique experience. Go on foot, from narrow stone step to the next; grabbing handholds where strategically placed, and duck down to squeeze through narrow vertical shafts to the next level, until emerging on top where ancient adobe homes and wide dusty plaza greet you. Walk around allowing your imagination to return you to the 14th Century when Acoma was a center of civilization, and you could see 100 miles in all directions from the rim.

Congratulations to the Indian Pueblo cultural center, and they're opening of the new exhibit…read more"Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery" It is more than an art experience-- grounded in Clay has a meaningful connection to culture, history, and living tradition. What makes this exhibit especially powerful is its voice. Rather than being interpreted solely through a traditional museum lens, Grounded in Clay is curated by members of the Pueblo Pottery Collective--artists and cultural stewards who bring firsthand perspective and storytelling to each piece. That authenticity comes through in a way that is both educational and deeply personal. You have time, it will be here for a little bit, but don't wait too long because you want to share the experience with others

One that we had heard a few times about was the gingerbread contest at the cultural center. We had been here briefly a couple years ago and had vowed to come back, so this seemed like an excellent reason. We arrived in the mornign and there were plenty of people there lready. The front had the contest. There were dozens of gingerbread creations. A fella there gave us a clipboard so we could all judge and pick our favorites from different categories. After we spent time appreciating the artistic creations, we went ahead and checked out the center as well There were plenty of rooms with artifacts, video displays, and historical breakdowns of the many Pueblos around New Mexico. We learned a lot that day. I'm proud of my family, being inquisitive and appreciating the many people of the New Mexico tribes that day. It's a fun museum to pop into.

It originally consisted of 200 rooms and was inhabited by perhaps 250 people. As the population waned, much of the structure deteriorated. However around 1390, there was a burst of new construction with approximately 100 rooms built on top of the original site. This structure was occupied until around 1425. Excavations of the site began in 1930, with the most recent conducted from 1971 to 1976. Upon completion of the field work, the site was back-filled to protect it from the elements and from looters. The site today includes the mound with a 1/3-mile-long trail with signage and a wheel-chair-accessible museum featuring educational exhibits. The Friends of Tijeras Pueblo provide membership, volunteer opportunities, monthly lectures, workshops, a Junior Archaeology Program, field trips, and other fun family activities. A bookstore is located in the nearby Sandia Ranger Station with maps, hiking guides, and area-related books.
