We also stayed for only 1 night and rolled into town quite late. B got takeout from Paco Taco, which was open at that late hour. I remember him saying his burrito was fine. My kid and I ate instant noodles in the hotel room.

Lots of tour groups, even as the pandemic was just starting. Nevertheless, it was a fun experience.

I think we only ate lunch there and I remember nothing about it, so it must not have been very exciting. If you are headed to/from the Grand Canyon, I can recommend the restaurant at Cameron Trading Post, or at least their green chile stew. We stayed and ate there en route from the Grand Canyon to Antelope Canyon and it was very fine.

I had my first encounter with fry bread there.

Tapatio and Escobar’s both are good. We camped in Page for a couple days on our 5 week trip around the country. We rented a boat one day, and took a tour up to Rainbow Bridge – which is truly awe-inspiring.

All the food in Page is pretty much mediocre.

Best bet is to find a restaurant with strong air conditioning. And cold drinks.

Why is this in “Americas, Middle East, Africa”? Shouldn’t it be in “Texas, Southwest”?

Fixed.

How does fry bread or Navajo taco taste?

It’s like a funnel cake or fried dough as they call it out east, without the powdered sugar. Not much flavor per se, but fresh out of the fryer, it was a good vehicle to dip into chili. Definitely not health food if you are concerned about that sort of thing.

It’s like an open-faced Taco Bell crunchwrap.

And given the choice, I would choose Taco Bell … Run for the border!

In New Mexico it tastes like thick bread fried. No need to try again.

The Navajo fry bread experience requires using it a a folder for mutton and green chiles.
