The Fry Bread House in Phoenix has long been one of my culinary meccas. Many people envision fry bread as a junk food relegated to carnivals and county fairs. However in the hands of masters like these found near Camelback and 7th Ave in Phoenix, the fry bread realizes its true potential.
This location has bounced around a few times, but their new place between Indian School and Camelback on 7th Ave is a nice upgrade from the former places. The converted house has a clean modern interior with lots of Native American art and touches.
Your hardest choice is sweet or savory. Most of the menu focuses on various taco combinations including red and green chile beef. The red is delicious with the green being much hotter.
You can add any number of toppings, but the fry bread can only hold so much stuffing before it oozes all over the plate. Fortunately they hide a fork and knife underneath to help sop up the goodness.
The restaurant also offers burritos and native style tortillas which are worth a taste. Their kids menu is also great with mini fry breads for a combination playtime and dinner.
Everything is done well and very authentic. I highly recommend locals and tourists support this unique and native cuisine in the region.
