Reviews of Amigo Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Andrew Dayton

The best Navajo Tacos in town, according to our host family. They were huge and delicious.

Brooke Frost

This is definitely a locals favorite, which is a good sign! The fry bread was delicious, and yes, the Navajo tacos are huge.

Greg Williams

Great little restaurant. Friendly staff. Excellent service. The Navajo Taco is terrific!

Dan Hartley

The chimichangas are the best I have had anywhere. And they are huge. The shredded beef melts in your mouth! The service was a little slow, but that may have been influenced by the fact that we were there just before closing. The chimis are still as good as they were 22 years ago when the Martinezese were running the restaurant. We didn't try any other dishes.

Karen Henriksen

So good! We saw a billboard on the way into town, and had to stop. Not disappointed. Friendly service, delicious Navajo Tacos, and cute restaurant.

Ryan Wisler

We tried to go for lunch. After sitting down and waiting for 15 minutes, we decided to leave. The restaurant was not busy and we felt as if our business was not welcome, so we chose another place to eat.

Michelle T

Great Navajo tacos! Also recommend the posole. Staff is very nice and easygoing.

w Williams

Not good. Way to expensive. Bought a Chimichanga and iced Tea 18 bucks. Do not recommend.

Juanita Jeff

Great food

Vicky Yazzie

Slow service food was ok

Marti Lee

This was authentic Mexican food. Best chicken chimichanga ever. Chicken tender and delicious. Nice atmosphere friendly service and good prices. Excellent place to eat!

Barbora Aldrighetti

Very cute place with great service and good food.

Allen Stolze

Very friendly. The staff all helped with directions to nearby attractions. Menu every good with a lot of selection. Prices were on pat with other places on the area. Our food was excellent and the service was good.

Gene Salt

A great dining and sit down experience.

Jon P.

"Chips" came to be prefabicated nachos with a spicy mediocre sauce. Coffe was disgusting. The staff lady was not nice at all.

Chintan Shah

Definitely an amazing dining experience!!! My friend and I were on a cross country road trip from PA to CA and happened to be passing by here during lunch. The server was extremely friendly and knew how to make appropriate food suggestions when asked about vegetarian options etc. The food was delicious and quite filling. I had a very light dinner that night because I was so full from lunch. They have some Mexican food that I've never had anywhere else. Original stuff. Highly recommend you to stop by if looking for lunch

Shanelle Francis

Love the chimichangas here, I would recommend it.

Trinity Hanson

Definitely worth the stop and you must try the Navajo Taco. Since we have two vegetarians in the family they were able to make a vegetarian version of the taco. Friendly service and so much better than a chain restaurant!

Alrian Clitso

Great spot

Evangeline Frank

Omg...u hv to try the Navajo tacos it's the bomb....

Cynthia Cramblett

Delicious and well priced. Love the salsa!

Lyn Balio

Absolutely, I DO NOT Recommend this Cafe which they claim a mexican cafe/ restaurant. I repeat, I DO NOT recommend! From salsa to chips to fajitas to guacamole and to quesadillas are far beyond mexican dish! It is not nice to say “ horrible” on food but this is really the right description. Second, they are very pricey for a bland nor no flavor at all food. I was having a “ mexican restaurant phobia” when we were travelling arizona and New Mexico. I am deadly and bloodily serious! I developed a phobia and so scared to go to the mexican restaurants any where in AZ and NM after what i had experienced at Amigos Cafe. I truly regretted myself on why I insisted to eat at this Cafe and in fact Mc Donald is just nearby. I would probably more happy. Please, if used to have a good, tasty authentic or not even so authentic real mexican food please... please... please.... please... DO NOT GO Amigo Cafe in Kayenta, AZ. You will surely get disappointed! Lastly, I gave one star for the service, I guess. Otherwise, overall food experience was horrendously not good.

Karen Erhard

very Good! homemade salsa is excellent. friendly staff and good prices!

Krzysztof B

Popular with locals. Food and service were ok, definitely not deserving more than 2-3 stars, though. As other reviewers mentioned, refried beans tasted like they were from a can. Selection of Mexican, Navajo and American items from the menu. Inexpensive.

Amanda Do'Urden

Best place in town to eat. Good food, decent prices. Staff is very friendly.

Paula Matthews

Food is wonderful! People so pleasant. We ordered the Pozoli and it was as good as the spanish version only it had way more meat. Went back for breakfast and still very satisfied had the Chorizo......coffee was great...just didn't have decaf.

Sir Bishop

Great friendly service.. food is great..

Kasandra i Cezary Wasylak

Unbelievable food, fry bread is so delicious.

Virginia Jean Savage

Good taco

Char Shon

Nothing has changed still authentic canned bland Mexican food

Marcus Charley

The service decent. Food taste out of the can. Avocados was store bought. Not from scratch.

Diane Huser

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! The service was excellent, quick and friendly. The food was very good. I would strongly recommend.

Annaletta & Arianna Smith/Curley

Our server was nice but this place isn't what it used to be. I was shocked at how small the Chimicanga had gotten and how expensive it was priced. The food was good but too expensive for such a small portion. At those prices you would think they would have remodeled or extended the restaurant by now.

Mohammed Chater

I wasn't impressed with their food and service. They claim to be traditional American cuisine, where most of they have on the menu was tacos and enchiladas...!!

Chandler Crawley

Just an awesome place to eat and get your authentic Navajo Taco!

Fiona W SH

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! The food is amazing as well as the service! I ordered the chimichangas and loved them at the first bite. The waiters are very kind and give good suggestions. It’s also not too pricey. I would definitely come back again!

Doug McCann

Great spot. Laid back but efficient. Waiter were great.

warren gaspar

Good food open Wed-Sat

brian perez

Food here is just ok, there's not much to choose from and far as restaurants go.

Cheryl Singer

Had a very positive experience and good service.

Robert Drury

An authentic restaurant in the heart of the Navajo Nation. Great service, bottomless coffee, nice Navajo tacos. We enjoyed our lunch here. It was a great spot to unwind and warm up. Check it out!

Larry Overton

Great place for lunch. We had the red sour cream chicken enchiladas and green sauce cheese enchiladas. Think a lot of locals eat here.

MrCoyotebob .

Pretty good. Especially for where it is, about as far from Mexico as you can get culturally. Quick service.

Chris M

Good combination plate. Excellent service.

Ashleigh Hayes

Delicious fry bread, wonderful, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Maggie Fast

We stopped here on our way home to Colorado. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly! Stop in, you won't regret it!

Lloyd Begay

Enjoyed a delicious meal

zach hoppe

Excellent breakfast on the way to Monument Valley

Ky zo

The food at amigos is very plain.... Rice and beans are very plain, especially the beans! They taste like they are from a can. As for my entree, which was the chimichanga it was good. The homemade salsa was good, nice amount of heat but the chips were stale. Overall I'd say this place is long shot from being considered "authentic Mexican American" the prices are a little too high and the food is sup par.

Victor Joe

Kind of crowed tables & chairs.

James Marcilla

Super friendly great food!!! Salsa is really spicy but awesome. Red Chile very tasty. Frybread was fluffy.

CAZSTY09

I'm a local here in Kayenta

Cedric Begay

I dont like Mexican good.

Lorena Thompson

Clean, wonderful service, excellent food. The fry bread was the best I've ever eaten anywhere. An oasis in the desert.

Avyleni Greyeyes

Shredded beef was icy cold.. The food was kind of blend.. If you are hungry, it would be good. The server was excellent, the restaurant was clean, the appearance draws you.

T Boone

Decent food,small dinning area,a bit pricey.

Richard Kupferer III

Bit of a time warp, reminds me of what we thought Mexican food was in the 80s. Hot stoneware plates, a pile of rice, a dallop of beans and melted yellow cheese over everything. The only thing missing was a spoonful of sour cream with a black olive and a toothpick Mexican flag. Not many other options around though and we drove the 24 miles to eat here rather than suffer through the slop they serve at Golding's.

Adrian Jimmie

Our experience at amigos was very terrible...... the two times we went there we were ignored and not asked anything. We told the server that we were ready to order but the people the were seated after us got there order and we were just bypassed. So the customer service and waiting staff is very terrible. They either need to hire more staff to cover the entire floor and accommodate their customers or continue to ignore their customers and keep getting bad reviews.....

Air Duct Medic, LLC Marvin Hamiton

One of the only in town. Better than the Hotel cafe. Great local food

B l u e M e s a

Food & Service was really GOOD! We missed you on Sunday. See you next time!

Cheyenne Valdez

The food was authentic and awesome. The service was the best part. We even took frybread to go!!

Inn Bron

Tex-mex so good your abuelita will get mad you ate here. Nimasaní will thank you because she didn't have to cook.

Malissa Blackhorse

Service is awesome, food is great everytime I come here. Thank you so much!

Faith Bogdan

Fast and friendly service in this packed-out café. If you’re expecting lots of flavor, you will be disappointed in the meat/beans filling on the Navajo taco. I had to douse mine with Tabasco sauce to taste anything. But the fry bread is good and everything fresh. The Navajo tacos are just about 1 foot across and can feed two people if you like things bland. One more thing: the red chili sauce is just weird and tastes nothing like the typical salsa you get at a Mexican restaurant. it has a burnt taste and is similar to the mole sauce in Mexican cooking.

H B

nice friendly place and good food

Melissa Alexander

Great service and food! The chimichanga and fry bread a la mode were delicious!

Caleb Dickson

Poor quality

Matt Hadley

On our way back from Monument Valley, we decided to stop for dinner in Kayenta, AZ. We checked Google and Trip Advisor reviews and settled upon the Amigo Cafe. We were delighted. The food was delicious. The service was fast and the staff were very courteous. We had Navajo burgers and tacos -- the portions were big and we shared. I would recommend and, if I found myself back in the area, I would gladly dine there again.

Devon Wilcox

The chimichanga is super good it's so close to monument valley! I love to old time vibe to the place as well. Certainly worth a stop!

Edie Dryden

Excellent food. We had the pork posole/fry bread and Chile rellano entres and they were prepared as Continental Mexican Cuisine, except for the fry bread which is native in Arizona and New Mexico. It was delicious!

Paul Smith

Very good food

Johnathon Stidham

Spicy and tasty. Cozy. Good service. Good food. Family friendly. Only one bathroom per male/female.

deennis agnew

Very good food and very good service; plus logical prices. Dennis

Donna Denley

Great food, fun, service, price. Awesome!

Noel Taylor

We came here last year, we came again all the way from Ohio to eat here again does that explain how good it was??? Navajo burger is worth a 4,000 mile trip!!

Kevin Howard

We stopped by here for lunch on our way to Monument Valley. The food was fantastic. I ordered the Navaho Taco. It was huge, so go hungry if you order this. It was beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese on Navaho fry bread. So good. I also tried the salsa which was real spicy and had a great flavor. The people were friendly and I’d definitely recommend stopping by here for a meal packed with variety and great flavors.

Eduardo Torres

First time there, I liked what I ordered and it was not expensive. Recomend tge frybread, it was great.

Kyle Houston

The meal was great here at Amigos Cafe. And the servers are helpful and kind.

Joshua Katso

Fairly acceptable as a favorite eatery. Love the salsa, Navajo tacos, and staff.

dk williams

I discovered this spot while I was traveling. I can't say enough great things about it! What put me over the moon was their homemade salsa. I swear I could taste the earth it was grown in, and just the right amount of heat. If you find yourself near here while you're wondering do yourself a favor.

Gueni Vaduzz

The cafe / restaurant is ok but nothing special. The waiter was very nice but that does not tear everything out. The prices are upscale, the food only OK. You get full.

Loyd Smith

Great place! Awesome food. Friendly staff. The homemade guacamole was divine!

The Smiths

I'm a local and I always order my usual which is the El Combination Plate. It's always fulfilling. The only down fall is the space. It's very small and crowded. I wish they could expand the building. Hopefully that's in the works. I think if they did expand the building they would have alot more service and alot more happy customers especially the tourist.

Matthew P.

Friendly staff, good food, good portion sizes. The Navajo fry bread is really good.

bogarrett80

Good service, good food, good ambiance

Jenny Eikamp

There food was amazing. They have choices for everyone and their staff was great. Possibly the best chimichanga I have ever had. You might as well plan on buying the salsa too because it is addictive as crack.

Jessica Denetsoie

Great food!

David Guthrie

We always try to stop here when travelling. Bring your appetite and go for the Navajo tacos with the green chilli.

Mitch Poep

Nice waiters, we walked in at 8:15pm and they close at 9:00 pm but that wasn’t a problem. Try the fried bread!

Enrique Diaz Jr

Excellent fry bread. My wife had the Navajo taco, I had the ham taco. Both were great. They were busy, lunch rush, yet still gave us great service. Will definitely stop here again when passing through.

Estela Escalante

Great place! We were greeted with a smile and great service. Thank you guys! Dinner and breakfast was really good and the lady refilled my coffee I dont know how many times while we were waiting for our meal. (As it should be). I really loved this place.

Dale Brayden

We had lunch here twice. Enchiladas and Navajo taco were both really tasty. Friendly and fast service. Very reasonable prices.

Elby Leonard

Nice

Darlene Taylor

The staff are friends and the #3 is my favorite. It's always clean. The salsa is hot but yummy. Too bad it's closed on my laziest day.

Dave Million

Really great food. Good service as well. Chile rellenos were great.

Julian Aguero

It's good...but if the place was a little bigger would be nice

Cassie Coolie

My Fav is Beef Chimi, Combo Plate & Cool Waiters...

Wilma Jones

The food is good... gets crowded but the people there are wonderful at keeping up with their guests.

dustin weaver

Good food

Derrick Tsinajinnie

Good food. Needs a little more spice some kick to it. Service needs improvement but the place is kept pretty clean

Karmen Black

Mexican Omelet is always delicious with tortilla...

Rodney Turner

Stopped here on our way to Monument Valley. Had to have breakfast. We all got Breakfast Burritos and a side of Navajo Frybread. The burritos were full of eggs and beans with hash browns stuffed in them. They were huge! The Frybread was delicious by itself and with honey on top. The orange juice was a bit sour, but still drinkable. A small place, but loves the table service and friendly people.

Russell Cook

Stopped on our way to Four Corners. Great food and very friendly and accommodating staff. Navajo Taco was very good - enough for two people. Highly recommend this family run place.

Tom‘s Travel Channel

Been there in February 19. Incredible food, especially the salsa

Lorraine Thomas

The food was better 10 years ago.

Nicholas Angelo

Honest mexican and navajo food in a country rustic atmosphere.

Shelly Linford

Delicious food, fun atmosphere and delightful staff

bali shan

Awesome Navajo food.

Gabriel Farkas

Service was great, the meal was filling and very good. Fare price. Gabe

michele yazzie

Wasn’t expecting good food but it was, took my mother and son there for graduation lunch!

Sharon Cly-Stryker

I enjoy their Mexican cuisine. I'm a nibbler, but one thing I noticed is the serving portions are smaller.

Fermin R. Domingo III

This place is amazing!!! Will definitely make our way back here!!!

Alicia Blitz

Excellent find for the area! The chimichanga was very crisp and tasty. Tamale had a very good texture. Also loved the fry bread.

Stephen Auker

Great ethnic food. Quick service. Reasonable rates.

Cody Crank

Good place to eat.

Carsten Freund

Good mexican food

Connie Shoff

Good food and good service. A real treat.

Emrylde Kelly

Stopped here on our way cross country from CA to NY, had the Chimichanga.. DELICIOUS! Staff was so friendly and nice. One of my favorite stops driving cross country!

Cory Begay

Food is delicious. We always leave satisfied. ,

Cathy Bogaart

I think it’s great for that area and interesting to eat here and not expensive. We had Navajo fry bread tacos and they were massive. We had leftovers! Enjoyed them, but even better was the fry bread ice cream sundae!! One of us had a burger but liked it. One had a Navajo burger and liked it. We really needed the hot sauces to add more flavour, but that did the trick for sure. Good service and really enjoyed the experience there; it’s probably the best in the area, but I’m reviewing based on food elsewhere.

Leonard Curley

Good food.

kelly hollifield

We spent the night nearby and came here for dinner based on the reviews of others. We were not disappointed: the food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. The fry bread is, of course, delicious.

cmckinney1971

This was an incredible surprise!!!! Saw the sign coming in from the east and thought we would give it a shot. The food was increadible. I had the Navajo burger, increadible authentic fry-bread and two patties. My wife had the Navajo taco it was 9-10 inches wide she said it was great could only est half of it. Go enjoy increadible fry-bread and great food for a good price.

Shonie De La Rosa

Great lil restaraunt with great food and service.

Robert Adducci

Good food and good service.

Joe

Excellent restaurant with very nice people. The salsa is deliciously spicy and the burritos are great. Don’t forget to try the fry bread.

Grn Blk

The best Navajo Taco around.

Anthony Sicola

We try to eat at Amigo Cafe every time we roll through Kayenta on our way to Valley of the Gods and southern Utah. The service has always been friendly and fast and the food is delicious. The salsa is fiery and tasty and I slather it on EVERYTHING. Try the Chimichanga or any of the combo plates and make sure you save room for the fry bread a la mode for dessert.

Rebecca James

Very good food and present it well. But place is small. Holds about 50 people. Go anyway for the experience.

Lorenzo Frank

Awesome place but does need to be larger for more room for seating.

Dan Kammann

Great little place with great food and friendly servers! We met a national park ranger in the Grand Canyon that recommended we go to Amigo's and we weren't disappointed.

Dana Duclo

Wow! Every dish we ordered was delicious, and the service was so friendly! The people working here are kind, and clearly take pride in their food and service. Thank you, we'll be back !

Peter Shemet

the best will come back

Levi Rubin

It’s nothing that will send you over the moon, but it’s as good as anything you will find in a small town on an Indian reservation. The choice of options is plentiful with the ability to satisfy any appetite or diet, which is certainly a feat on its own that many establishments available in much more competitive markets can’t match. I had the Navajo taco, and while it isn’t a gourmet experience that is impossible to match, it was very hearty and satisfying. Of course, my exposure to frybread is quite limited, so it was a treat to be able to have it, and it certainly was the highlight of the meal, as the toppings were fine, but maybe below average compared to what I can find elsewhere. One issue is that I detected chunks of meat in my dish, when it’s supposed to be meatless With that being said, the waiter was very kind and genuine, despite being by himself during a busy time with a lot to handle. The prices were also very solid, especially considering the large portion sizes (to the point that I couldn’t even finish my dish). While I can’t expect anything extraordinary for road trip food, this was certainly more satisfying and enjoyable as an experience than most road trip food that I have experienced

Diane Bond

Great local food. Loved it

Kathyleigh Dober

The frybread is awesome znd the staff are over the top.

Heather Stone

THEE worst place I've ever eaten in my life! Totally gross!! Bland and just weird tasing all together! Salsa was green chili tomato puree..chips were cold. Taco shells tasted like they were fried in community oil!! Barf! Do not eat here unless you like throwing your money away and then eating at McDonalds!

Lynne O

Rellanos were excellent! Service was friendly and welcoming....Fry bread ala mode ..yum!! Would definitely come back.

Vanessa Brockman

This place is fantastic! Service is great and the food was too. If you are in the area, this is a must stop!

Charles Smith

Awesome food, can't remember the name of the soup but it had pork and hominy in it and it was amazing!

Mike & Lily's Free Spirit Adventures

We were heading to Monument Valley and decided to try this place out for lunch. Didn't want the usual fast food chains that are so readily available in the area. The restaurant is small and cozy but brightly decorated. Service was friendly and fast. No complaints so far. My wife ordered the tamale combo plate and I had the Navajo Taco. This is where things went downhill. The tamales were small and although they had plenty of sauce on them she said they didn't taste like they were fresh or even made on location but more like store bought. Not bad, just not worth the price even considering the amount of rice and beans that accompanied the tamales. The taco was good. The frybread was delicious, certainly. The beans were thick but weren't bad. Overall it was decent enough and definitely plentiful. Overall, yeah, I've had worse food for that much or more. I would go back if we're in the area again. It beats fast food at any rate. But I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

Sherry Tobiason

Best Navajo taco I've had!

Olivia Claw

Good food.

Eelke Hagen

Cheap but good! really tasteful food! Would recommend!

Roberta Gilmore

Small place to eat, Mexican, American good food friendly and helpful. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Juanita Lederle

Great Navajo tacos!

Chip Alexander

Stumbled on this place after stumbling out of monument valley. Dont judge a book by its cover. Worth the stop. Salsa was delicious and the kids ate the fried bread a la mode so fast I couldn't take a picture. Get the Navajo burger with green chilies

Sandra Awad

Very good. Great service!

Yuriy Shevchenko

Very unimpressive. Ordered three dishes, none were good. This can't be the best place in town according to TripAdvisor. Seriously, both McDonald's and Burger King are just down the road, and even though I prefer authentic food, I'd rather go there. Sorry Amigos.

Andy Scott

Frozen Food quality Mexican food at best. The food is more than likely prepared with canned ingredients from the local grocery store.

Ryan Kennedy

Amazing food! The best chimney chonga I have ever had. Great place to stop

Craig Wallace

I love this place. I'll drive 2500 miles to eat here.

Samuel Payne

Good fry bread

Kay Weber

Small, friendly environment with very personable service. I just ate a regular burrito. The refried beans were amazing. It was all very simple but tasty. They don't serve alcohol, but I did not miss it. I would go back anytime.

Tanya Stoddard

Good Navajo tacos just like the last time we were here 15 years ago!

ROAL RICH

We ordered the Navajo taco's. Really big portions. Each plate was big enough for 2 people. Good red chili. The Fried bread is nice and fluffy. Small cafe type feeling. Mostly locals but we were treated well.

Big Cat

OK foods though the roof prices

Sue Wright

Lots of really good food. Great service. Great prices!
