| - I walked in for the first time. I often get indian tacos at festivals and so just tried to go up and order an "indian taco" thinking that meant bread with beef, beans, cheese, etc...but the young man at the counter began to explain that it was not a real taco but he could fold it in half for me if I wanted. ...I think there was some miscommunication with him thinking I was trying to get normal tacos. ??? So then I asked how to order, and he explained their concept. It's like the "Subway" of fry bread. You choose the meat you want (ground beef/green chile pork/red chile beef/carne asada/chicken) and whether you want beans. Then they bring the fry bread out to a toppings bar behind glass, and you tell them which toppings to add. Toppings included cheese, lettuce, white onion, green onion, olives, what I think was either green bell peppers or green chilies??, salsa, and sour cream. Fry bread runs about $9. They also have fry bread dessert options for about $6 and a cooler with assorted bottled drinks.
I ordered some sweet puffs for my kids. They were chunks of fry bread sprinkled with your choice of sweet toppings. My kids loved them with cinnamon sugar. I opted for the green chile pork fry bread with beans to-go. I took it home to share with my husband. He was not overly enthused and only took 2 bites. He wasn't a fan of the green chile and thought the lettuce could be fresher. I found it to be okay and finished off the rest. The bread was not greasy like some other reviewers found, but I agree that, while it did not taste old, it seemed like it could have been fresher. The green chile and beans were okay by my standards too. Their salsa was really tasty and was the highlight for me.
Overall, my experience was positive. The people there were friendly. Restaurant was clean. Food, while not mind-blowing, was okay. I feel like they could kick it up a notch with the freshness. I do think I'll be back now and again when I'm craving fry bread. 3 stars. Will review again after a few visits.
