| - As a fry bread "noob," I'll err on the side of caution and chalk most of my dislikes up to unfamiliar, lest I make anybody angry by sullying what seems to be somewhat of a Phoenix institution. Still, I will say that I was not absolutely astounded by the food or the prices, both of which most reviewers have raved about. Fry bread itself is something akin to a fluffier fried version of Indian naan, and can be ordered with a wide variety of savory or sweet toppings.
I had the chili combination taco with green chili sauce, and while it was good, it was nothing spectacular -- I've had mexican dishes with more interesting flavor. Still, the fry bread itself was fluffy and delicious.
When I saw menudo -- beef tripe stew -- listed on the menu, I decided I should definitely give it a try, having never eaten tripe before. The tripe was a lot less chewy that I was expecting, and a good contrast to the almost crunchiness of the hominy, but the stew as a whole was largely flavorless, and just plain salty.
I would definitely give this place another go, and try the sweet fry breads, I saw a couple get one for desert and it looked awesome.
