Seriously, the portions were huge and the prices are extremely reasonable. I had their amazing shrimp ceviche and it was AWESOME--and I tried their 3 pot soup and it was extremely tasty, too. I noticed people getting the chicken salad sandwich and it was the size of Manhattan!! SOOOO...Don't walk, run their and be sure to make your lunch reservations!!!

After visiting the museum we were starving and decided to eat at the Cafe once we noticed there were some authentic dishes on the menu. We were seated immediately outside and ordered Prickly Pear Lemonade. We then started with the hummus and fry bread since I always order fry bread anytime I can. So yummy and delicious. Our party each ordered different things and enjoyed our food. Definitely worth visiting while at the museum.

Service was decent the two young people stepped up better than the ok waitress. The courtyard was a zen place to dine. I really liked the fry bread and tepiary bean hummus. The prickly pear lemonade was a mix and color not realistic. I wouldn't purchase again.

My husband and I ordered the Best street tacos. The taco shells were the most flavorful I have ever experienced. The shrimp was fantastic and the veggies were perfect. We were given two tacos. The fresh greens with tomato and roasted pepitas were perfect. The salsa and the dressing for the salad made my taste buds sing. We ended with a brownie with vanilla ice cream. My husband had a beer and I had pink lemonade. We were so happy.

My husband and I took a lunch break at the museum to enjoy the cafe. He had the roast beef sandwich, I had the grilled cheese. His was definitely the better of the two, next time I plan to try the posole. Service was prompt, didn’t have to wait very long for our food.

Must see for art and the history of Indian Schools. What they were then to what they are today.

Ambiance is wonderful! I had read about the Pozole soup being amazing but it sure wasn't! It was served Luke warm no avocado, just fair. Turkey sandwich with Brie said it was sourdough but it's actually sandwich bread. Guacamole was delicious! Fry bread and bean dip was also tasty. Nice stop after seeing the museum. Cerviche was very good!

Exceptional food and ambience. The sweet and sour mustard chicken salad was ample and delicious. Service was a tad lacking. Dingy waitress.

Our relaxed lunch at the pleasant Courtyard Cafe was fantastic. Their Thai beef salad is as beautiful as it is delicious with flavorful slices of nicely marinated beef atop glass noodles mixed with bits of carrots, red bell peppers and sweet corn. The service is very friendly and attentive. They serve a caramel cookie that is absolutely the best cookie ever. A lovely place for lunch or a coffee break.
We had lunch here, and it was excellent. Good selection of salads, soups, sandwiches, and more. I thought the prices were fair, and the service was friendly and efficient. On nice days you can eat at a table in the courtyard.

Gorgeous setting, perfect after a walk through in the Heard. Refreshing beverages, good food, friendly staff.

Took my adult daughter to the Heard on this holiday and they were open. No line at the Cafe! Had great food - she had a huge salad laid out in sections and I had a wonderful rukey, bacon, avocado sandwich.

I came here on a lunch date with my husband because they had two of the must-eat in Arizona items on their menu. The prickly pair cactus lemonade and fry bread.The prickly pear lemonade really was good! My husband usually can't have lemonade because the sharp citrus flavor catches his throat but he had no issues with this one. He actually had most of it himself! Subtle sweetness. None of that sourness and just an overall good drink.For the appetizer we got the Teparay Bean Hummus with Fry Bread. Asked for no olive oil because we wanted the hummus without the extra fat.This dish was a total win! Hummus was smooth and flavorful. I could eat it just by itself! Fry bread was also soft and fluffy and warm too. Everything was perfect about this. Another great part is that the fry bread was actually baked and not deep fried. Took away so much of the guilt I was going to have from eating fry bread.My husband liked his Birria beef Street Tacos. Fresh and juicy beef, good amount of portion size, and really fresh and good tacos overall. He got the sauce on the side which went really well with the tacos. Also got a side salad which he enjoyed.I asked for the Sweet and Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad with dressing on the side and this was not at all what I expected! VERY BIG NO ON THIS! I order salads at restaurants all the time and whenever I see a chicken salad it's always a salad with all the veggies and such and then grilled chicken on top with the dressing put on top of that or on the side if I ask for it.This was not at all like that. It was like one of those pre-made chicken salads with everything all mixed in. The server did bring some dressing on the side and until I took a bite It wasn't very clear that everything was all mixed with the dressing already.I called the server and asked about it and she said it was already pre-made. I asked for the veggies and chicken separate with dressing separate, or at least some mixed greens on the side so i could balance out the strong flavor.She got the greens but then the manager also came with and picked up my plate of salad and took it away saying that they would get me a new one. Server asked me if this was any better, and all I had in front of me was a plate of mixed greens and some dressing on the side. I didn't know what to say but said I would get back when I get my salad. I waited about 10 to 15 minutes but nothing came. Meanwhile my husband and I heard the kitchen cleaning up. Call the server and she said they were all done and there was no new salad being made for me. WHAT A SHOCK!I asked if they at least had some plane chicken left, but nothing.I actually ended up eating a plate of greens and dressing. Yes, the dressing was good but this was not at all a good end to the meal.The server was kind throughout, but that manager really did not provide the service expected.

Ehh stopped in here while visiting the town. We ended up getting the frozen prickly pear lemonade and a heath bar cookie - both were too sweet and gave us headaches.
