    When I was an elementary school kiddo I could eat my grandma's saimin. She was a nurse but could sure cook. Hubs is like that for hamburgers so he was happy to have Wendy's for one out of 14 meals. We don't have Wendy's in our immediate neighborhood so I'm Wendy's deprived. I remember Yelp friend Kathy A post about frosty. When the free red Yelp item popped up we gave that to hubs. Got to say the burger was good. Doc paid for our meal as usual, such a generous road trip driver and planner.

    There aren't that many food choices near the Grand Canyon. FACTS! So we had to be resourceful and that meant hitting up everyone's friend, Wendy's! Luckily they had fresh salads on their menu. The Southwest Chicken Avocado salad was pretty decently good considering what else is around the area at $7.99. Some pro tips: - Download the Wendy's app because you get $2 off if you order a salad. Only problem was that the store is having problems with their router so they can't accept app coupons. I haggled with the cashier and got 10% off and a free cookie... oh well, I wish I got $2 off but whatever. - Show your Yelp for 1 free junior frostee. I wish I saw this so I could have dessert! Ahh for Grand Canyon standards, I'd go back and get my free frostee!

    Got our take out orders wrong 2 out of 2 times, and manager Christian Saucedo is particularly abhorrent to deal with. The first order they forgot my son's milk for his kids meal. The second time they gave my husband the wrong dressing for his salad after I confirmed 3 times about the dressing he should receive due to his allergies. They also left off the pecans from my apple pecan salad, and both of the topping containers they gave us were expired. When I went back for a refund later that night Christian refused to do anything about it, while he said he remembered me from an hour prior and recalled me confirming 3 times about the dressing, without a receipt he would not issue any refund. When I pressed to Talk to a supervisor he took out his phone and said he was calling the police. I was never aggressive or violent, it was an insane response from him. I asked a woman at the cashier booth what his name was to report him to corporate and he pointed his finger in my face and leaned forward in my face and yelled at me "don't you ever speak to my employees again, you are not to ever speak to anyone here!!" As spittle was flying all over my face. Avoid at all costs!!!

    Chili time!

    Expect to see higher prices than normal. With that said though, it's still cheaper (and probably better) then some of the other few restaurants in the area. You really can't go wrong with the chili, crispy chicken sandwich, and fries. Note how they are all on the value menu lol. Delicious and cheap. It's what you can expect from a Wendy's - just a bit more expensive.

    Let's be honest when you are on a trip you always look for a nice place to eat...well unfortunately the Grand Canyon DID NOT GET THE MEMO!!! It was late and Wendy's was still open ---we actually wound up eating there twice! We have been hiking twice to the Grand Canyon this year...we found out the first time literally ALL of their restaurants are horrible! So disappointing! Doesn't matter what 4 star hotel restaurant they all suck! Wendy's didn't disappoint! Thank you Wendy's staff for having decent food!

    Very slow service. For a place this busy and popular (right in Grand Canyon Village), they need more registers and servers.

My husband got the Bonita salad with chicken, which was so fresh and delicious. The mangos and avocados were perfectly ripe. I think the dressing was made in house; this salad was a champion. I got the arroz con pollo without the cheese, but I thought the sauce and cheese would be together. This, it came with the sauce. No matter, it was still yummy with fresh veggies and good quality chicken. We definitely recommend Plaza Bonita after a long day at the Grand Canyon.

    For our first dinner on our Grand Circle trip, we went with Plaza Bonita, the Mexican restaurant…read moreright outside our hotel. The food options in general in the Grand Canyon are grim, so we didn't expect too much, only being lured in by the promise of 10% off due to our hotel stay at the Red Feather Lodge. The food was even worse than our low expectations. Walking in for dinner on Saturday during the shoulder season, it wasn't very busy at all. And yet we felt like we were ignored for a good while before we were able to place our order. Service in general was very slow, with the waitress disappearing for several long stretches of time. For example, it took about 20 minutes to get our order in after we had sat down and then another 20 minutes after we had finished to get the check. At least the chips and salsa arrived quickly. Chips and Salsa (Complementary) - These are standard yellow corn tortilla chips, with tons of tiny crushed chips on the bottom and larger whole ones on top. The salsa is slightly spicy, tangy, has plenty of crunchy chopped onion and tender tomatoes mixed in along with fresh herbs. Pretty standard stuff but tasty. Pork Carnitas ($29.99) - When this dish came out we were not sure what exactly we had received. What was on the plate certainly didn't look like carnitas; instead it looked like some kind of pork stew. We flagged the waitress down and she insisted they were carnitas. Strange. The "carnitas" consists of cubed and stewed pork mixed with celery and peppers. The cubes are compressed and cannot be shredded apart. There is a tiny bit of texture on some pieces that indicate that they had been fried at some point, but they are mostly tender instead. The texture reminds me of commercial pork that's been injected with saline and preservatives. It's very lean but the stewing liquid adds tons of rich, deep, flavors to the dish. Unfortunately the pork itself doesn't taste good. There's a strange off flavor, perhaps of older or freezer burned meat. The rice and beans are pretty normal. The rice is moist but each fried grain can be felt. It has appropriate salty tomato flavor. The beans are tender and mostly mashed, a little on the silky/watery side with some pieces of bean remaining. They are seasoned appropriately. Given the texture on the beans I wonder if they are from a can and/or direct from a commercial supplier. This dish is served with four small flour tortillas which are the worst I have ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. They are completely dried out, glued together into a stack. Clearly no care was given to storage. Any Mexican restaurant should be ashamed at serving the quality of the tortillas we received. Finally, there's some pico de gallo and guac to create some "carnitas" tacos. The guac is quite tangy from citrus juice. No matter what the waitress said, I don't think this dish was "Pork Carnitas." Even after leaving the restaurant, I tried to do some research to see if there is some regional variation of carnitas that could match this dish. I found nothing. From the pictures of another review 10 years ago, I see Plaza Bonita used to serve real carnitas - shredded deep fried pork. The switch to cubed pork must be a cost cutting measure. (1/5) Combo #2, Enchilada, Burrito, Green Corn Tamale, Shredded Beef ($24.99) - I'm not sure why anyone would order Combo #1 when the #2 is only a dollar more! The main difference between the enchilada and burrito is the tortilla used. The former has a corn tortilla, soaked a bit until soft and tender. There's a bit of standard red enchilada sauce poured on top, followed by just a bit of cheese. The burrito uses a toothsome and pliable flour tortilla that is rather tough and requires some work to get through with a knife. Both items I chose to get stuffed with shredded beef, which is actually pretty decent. It's very tender, very flavorful since they've been stewed for a while in some kind of sauce. The green corn tamale seems to be masa mixed with whole sweet corn kernels, and green chile skins (only a tiny bit of each). They add a lot of sugar, so the whole thing kind of tastes like eating sweet cornbread. The tamale is otherwise tender in texture and easy to eat. The texture is like that of an extruded masa, like it was prepared commercially in a factory. My guess based on the texture and appearance is that this isn't made in house. (3/5) Plaza Bonita was really disappointing. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous for what we received. They serve very low quality food for obscene prices. I think the only reason they survive as a business is because nothing else in the area is good either. Bathrooms - Two rooms with multiple stalls
