Let’s all be completely honest about our obsession with food. There are no judgments here among our fellow Arizonans on this subject because, frankly, we get it… don’t we? So let’s move on to a fun, authentic, little dining experience you can have all the way up in the Northeast corner of the state… and then we’ll also point out a couple of amazing natural attractions you can visit while you’re out on this delicious food-fetching road trip adventure…
The Amigo Cafe in Kayenta, located in the Navajo Nation just 25 miles south of Monument Valley, is the only game in town for authentic Arizona eats.

The humble, come-as-you-are eatery is a favorite among locals and visitors, who often stumble in after a day of sightseeing among nearby natural attractions. (We’ll get to the sightseeing options shortly… )

Known for their amazing fry bread creations, Amigo Cafe makes no apologies for plopping just about anything on their much-loved fry bread. Their homemade Navajo taco is a perfect example…

And don’t even think of asking for a “bun” for that burger you just ordered! Not when you can get it on a freshly made, crunchy on the outside and pillowy on the inside, piece of fry bread. (This Navajo burger may have you licking your lips long before you even arrive at Amigo Cafe.)

And because you can never really get too much fry bread, you’ll want to also partake in the Fry Bread Ala Mode. Yum!

This no-frills eatery way up in the outer reaches of Arizona is well worth a trip all on its own. You’ll feel right at home in the cozy, unassuming atmosphere as you devour the delicious items you singled out from their tasty menu.

In addition to the best fry bread in these parts, Amigo Cafe also dishes up more traditional Mexican fare, like burritos, fajitas and nachos.

You can head north to Monument Valley, where you can explore on your own, or catch up to a private tour company for a guided trip around the area.

Or, you can simply head less than half a mile west of the restaurant and be at the base of Arizona’s famous Church Rock.
