    Stopped by Grandma's Fry Bread stand right outside the Four Corners Monument. It is a perfect…read morelittle spot to grab a bite while exploring and walking around. In fact, it's the only spot in the area to grab food. They got a picnic table where you can sit and eat, which is nice if you want to take a quick break. I tried the traditional fried bread ($8). You can choose your own toppings, either sweet or savory. They have options like cinnamon sugar, honey, or garlic salt. I went with the garlic salt one, and while it was definitely on the salty side, it had a great garlicky flavor that I liked. They also sell snow cones in different flavors, and sodas are $3 and water is $2. They also really appreciate cash payments. Service was great. Food didn't take that long to come out.

I love this place because it's such a convenient stop if you need a quick bite or refreshment before heading back on the road. Since the "cart" is pretty much the size of a large tent, I wouldn't expect to eat inside. But they do have two large tables you can use to stand and eat if you'd prefer. Your food options are both savory (hot dog fry breads, taco fry breads) and sweet (sweetened fry bread, snow cones) - just know that it's cash only! I got the hot dog fry bread, which you can get with whatever condiments you usually put on a hot dog. What does it taste like? Think of naan bread, but lighter and a little crispy because it's fried. Then, wrap that around sausage. Oh man, my mouth is savoring just thinking about it again. I brought it to my friend as a snack when I met her at Monument Valley, and she loved it even though it was already cold by then. Service was super friendly as well. Stopping by was such a treat in more ways than one!

    This is my new favorite "hidden gem" spot! I am allergic to gluten, corn, and soy, so finding…read moreplaces I can eat without at least getting a stomach ache is fairly difficult. Chef Michel makes a gluten free crepe batter though, so I was thrilled to try out his food! The serene seating area is surrounded by blooming flowers and lush foliage, so it was not difficult to convince my mom to make the stop. Hands down, these were the best crepes I've ever had in my life. My mom, who is not gluten free, said she couldn't distinguish the regular crepe she had the day before at our hotel and the GF ones we had at Michel's Corner (usually GF options are very textually different and heavily alter the eating experience). We split the Ole' Molle Stolle and the Ham, Gruyère, Tomato - it was so hard to pick a favorite!! The Ole' Molle Stolle (so fun to say out loud lol) was absolutely delectable and my personal favorite - the tender chicken melted in your mouth as it danced with the complex spices and hint of chocolate. Topped off with a tangy little tomato and creamy avocado - each bite was so amazing I had to sit back and savor every note. The Ham, Gruyère, Tomato was my mom's favorite - the thick cut ham, melty cheese, and tomato with that thin layer of mustard wrapped in a light, fluffy crepe was splendid. The addition of the avocado on top took away some of the sharpness from the mustard, making each bite creamy, tangy, a little sharp, and savory. Chef Michel was so polite and sweet - once he was finished preparing orders, he walked around the seating area, greeting guests, and sitting down to have friendly conversation with them. The young man helping him when we were there was also so kind and helpful - I even caught a glimpse of him hand-picking flowers for the finishing touch on our dishes! Such a fantastic experience If you're ever in Durango this is a must stop - I can't wait to go back and try more of Chef Michel's incredible crepes!

It was delicious and fresh, but almost $20 for not a ton of food. I appreciate the effort that is put into appearance though, and the outdoor sitting area is cute. They grow their own fresh basil right on site, and the staff was great. They offered me free homemade apple cider that was delicious!
