“ A mom and pop establishment with some of the best native (navajo) food in town. If the mutton stands are closed this place is the place to get ur mutton ribs. Roasted to perfection with that green chile you know you need. Also side note their pizzas are my fave. Haha! ”
“ As weird as it may sound, this place has the BEST pizza around! It’s a very simple place but it’s always been clean and the service is amazing! Sometimes it’s a long wait but so worth it!
