We have dined here at least twice. A few years ago, and now in July 2025. They have the best Navajo Taco, bar none, that I have ever eaten. And I’ve had many self-described Navajo Tacos! The gift shop next door is excellent, stocked with authentic signed Native American jewelry as well as books, painting, wares. It is a “not to miss” if you like the culture. Super friendly staff in both places.

One of the few restaurants in this city full of fast food. It is located in the Hampton Inn hotel so there is no external indication. Some dishes derived from Navajo cuisine, burgers and pizzas. Low prices given the rather nice setting and unpretentious but decent cuisine. Note that you can eat there until 10 p.m. without problem.

Tonight was totally spoiled! My wife and I got there at 6:30 for dinner. It was full but waited for 30 minutes, which was alright. We got seated and got our menus with several tables empty around us. Right next to us, a couple came in about 15 minutes after us, their orders were taken, delivered, and almost finished before our waitress took our order. At another table, a couple came in long after us and got their meals before us. The meals were good but spoiled by this service. NO SERVICE, NO TIP. That is the 1st time I have ever not left a tip.

For me, the United States stands for customer friendliness. That was hard to find this evening. The service forgot about us and made us wait pointlessly for so long that we were the only couple allowed to have a bite to eat. And that dinner, despite all the rave reviews, wasn't that good. The Navajo pizza was similar to the Navajo taco, in terms of the base. It was mainly greasy and far from crispy. Others may appreciate its flavors and structure, but both dishes did not meet our approval. What was Navajo about it remained completely unclear to us. The taco seemed Mexican. In short, not recommended, but for the lack of hospitality.

Very difficult to find ANYTHING on this menu without wheat flour… The menu didn’t say, but the waiter was willing to ask the chef… The bean soup, green chili stew, corn-breaded fish and even the fries contain flour! Finally ended up with the small chicken breast with green chili and cheese off the chicken sandwich (hold the bread and fries) and the potato skins. Expensive for what it was (the descriptions are MUCH fancier than the food) but it tasted ok and hopefully won’t make me sick.

I would not order my green chilli stew again. The stew probably came from a can and was decorated with fried bread. Bit of bland.
I ate in this restaurant because in addition to being the only one in Kaienta, it is the hotel restaurant where I stopped for the night. There are many local dishes and I must say that they are very good as is the fish and chips which I found excellent. Courteous and friendly staff and quick service Excellent value for money

Restaurant in Kayenta inside the Hampton Inn, run by local natives, all good. If you feel like a glass of wine or an ice cold beer you won't find alcohol on the menu.

Finally a normal plate with real cutlery again. But above all, good food where their menu rises above most restaurants that can be found in hotels in this region. Yes, the restaurant is located in the Hamton Inn and therefore not directly visible from the main road.

Last night after a day of exploring at Monument Valley, my boyfriend and I were starving and looking for food!
The restaurant was super full and for good reason.
I had the Rosemary Chicken, and my BF the Black Bean Soup and Grilled Veggie. To end our meal was the epic Navajo Frybread with cinnamon apples & ice cream ?
Reuben Heflin restaurant is a hidden gem inside the nicest Hampton Inn I’ve ever been in! The only restaurant open in the area that we could find until 10PM, with amazing selection of Navajo & Western food and great service. Food prices extremely reasonable.

The Navajo Taco and Hawaiian pizza were delicious! Very friendly welcome and quickly curious. Definitely recommended to eat here. Soda costs about 2$75.
