Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I had never heard of a Navajo taco before, so after driving by this location, my curiosity was piqued. I stopped in for my lunch break one day and was immediately glad that I did. The small family-run feel, the individual attention to each customer, and the delicious fried taste of the taco made this hole-in-the-wall place one of my go-to's for a great local lunchtime experience. I was a bit dubious about a single taco being enough to fill me up, but at the end of the meal I was stuffed. This is heavy food, be sure you have a few minutes for a quick nap before heading back to the office. The menu says that they cater events too - I would be tempted to consider this as an option for an event in the future. Navajo Hogan combines the fried wonders of the fair with a friendly and intimate restaurant setting.

This place looks scary from the outside, but don't worry - it is so worth the visit! I actually came in next door to the appliance place (which I didn't really enjoy) and stopped by here for lunch, at my friend's recommendation. The portions are HUGE and the meal was great! My favorite part was the sweet bread included in the combo. It was so so good. Definitely coming back soon, it's so close to my work!

I don't get to this side of town much anymore. My favorite outboard boat motor repairman used to be just down the street but his life was recently ended by an unfortunate heath condition. I used to tour Japanese on a "Grand Circle" route which took us through Monument Valley and lunch at Goulding's Lodge on the second of a five-day loop. The only thing Goulding's has over this place is the ambiance of a nice dining area. Otherwise the Navajo tacos here are every bit as good and authentic, if not more so, than those served on the Reservation. It's simple and inexpensive. Parking is limited. The ingredients are fresh and quality. I say, "Go!"

Navajo Tacos need not be limited to fairs, festivals, and other in-the-park-vendor experiences. No, there's a place that's slingin' them year-round, and it's right here. For the uninitiated, a Navajo Taco is a big ol' hubcap-lookin' frybread, served with a little meat, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. Though the toppings may differ from fryer to fryer, you're getting an open-faced frybread taco. And that's a good thing. This place is not much to look at. And one time when I was here in the dead of summer it certainly was a hot and not-so-air-conditioned joint on the inside. But the owner is as down-to-earth as you could hope for, and I can say that each time I've eaten something here I've not been disappointed. It's not fancy. It's cheap. It's just what you want, if you're in the mood. Don't forget to try a dessert frybread. It's buttery and it's simple. Fried. Butter. Dough. C'mon, is there anything more American than that?

Wow, if you want authentic Indian Fri bread this is it! Good prices and lots of food.
(4)Gabriel G.
I heard from one of my clients to come and try the navajo tacks . By all means the food was great . But place a bit messy and every table was dirty . I wish the customer service was better and not such a snappy attitude .
(2)Kevin B.
The most amazing family dining experience we have had since our relocation to Utah. If able I would give the food a 6th star. We shared the green chili fry bread. It had the best green chili I have ever had the privilege of consuming. I will be back again and again. Thank you to the gentlemen owner for a delicious food and inviting atmosphere.
(5)Caryn A.
Delicious! Great service, tacos, pick from the toppings.
(4)Lani H.
My first Navajo taco experience ever! The food is amazing. The traditional is the most popular and I even love the fry bread with the goey stuff on it with cinnamon. It was like a goey churro :).
(5)Lizzie W.
The fry bread was perfect. It single handedly saved the meal from mediocracy. The toppings on my small taco (which by the way was not that small at all) were carelessly thrown on, and sadly generic. The place is very hole in the wall, but I did enjoy the decorations, at least they stuck to the Native American theme. The taco was just not worth the $6 price. And this isn't a necessity by any means, but I'm always a bit disappointed when restaurants don't take American Express.

Sometimes this happens, when I'm at as near-complete as a loss as I am here. Along with many of these other reviewers, I drove by it for years and had friends tell me it was great for years and after today, I feel completely stupid for today being my first visit, especially after compiling lunch lists for about 8 months (since I started Yelping) without this on it. It's a shame and I was missing out that whole time of what is a very special place serving up seriously good eats. I'm not the right audience for a lot of the general Native American art and general "vibe" (nothing wrong with it, but it simply doesn't speak to me, even when I moved from the Midwest down to here and was already fairly well-versed in the lore and traditions), but this kind of place couldn't be much more up my alley if they tried to design it just for me. I love the wall art and overall feel of this place, which is admittedly "hole in the wall." Were it not for their atrocious drink selection, this place would be near perfection, which sort of brings up the point of why rate it as high as Yelp will allow when I'm more demanding elsewhere? The reason is that the place isn't too far away from Maverik and a host of other gas stations, if I want a soda and that's a relatively minor gripe. The food is very heavy duty slabs of heaven. As one may get the impression from some of my other Yelp reviews, I can be prone to what I call "eating clinics" and most other people call "making a pig out of myself" -- they may be more right than they think; my Chinese astrological sign is the noble boar -- but here, I was somewhat put to task to finish that traditional taco and the sweet frybread. I did it and loved every bite, but it is quite filling, probably beyond what I'd comfortably eat regularly for lunch during the summer (watch out come winter!). The dish sort of amplify, for me, one of Ramsay's sayings, which is simple, high quality and delicious as there is nothing groundbreaking served on the paper plates nor eaten with the plastic cutlery, yet it combines to be truly marvelous. Service here is excellent and friendly, if a bit laid back and regular seem to drift in and out with regularity. Trying to park directly next to 3300 S. is maybe not the greatest idea ever and there seems to be ample parking in the back, though admittedly this place is tiny (capacity maybe 16). The casualness extends nearly everywhere and there's what seems like a card table holding some sort of restaurant mini-office almost. It's a bit battered and worn, yet clean and even though you're eating on those cheap vinyl table top covers you thought vanished in the late 70's or early 80's, those, like everything else here, tie together well. Utterly unique and spectacular and if that's not enough, it's inexpensive also. Bravo!

I have been going here since I was a little girl, I love this place! This is my reservation in the city a little piece of home, i like everything here but I love the MUTTON stew and frybread.
(5)Virginia C.
In Salt Lake you will not find that very many places serving native American food but this place has it's charm The best fried bread in the VALLEY for sure. The staff here is very friendly and the place is nothing fancy, just good plain comfort food,Try the mutton soup it goes perfect on a chilly day. check for business hours though because they are not always open according to planned.
(4)Davin K.
Friendly, quaint, tasty, homey, good price for a good meal. Drove by a hundred times and never stopped in. .Glad a friend turned me onto it!
(4)Chrystal F.
I came in here after my native friend died. Mentioned his name and how much he loved the place. I mentioned that Ihad to try the fry bread in honor of him and they gave it to me on the house. The bread was amazing and I was upset I never went there sooner. The sweet fry bread tastes like an elephant ear smothered in honey and butter. Yum.
(5)Ryan K.
No windows in the entire building. Missing light fixtures. Sauces in the fixins bar that appear to have sat out all day. Sticky tables. 17 health code violations the last time I checked. And I love it. This place has definite character. It's been around for over 20 years. Don't go in expecting white glove service, but the food they make is pretty tasty. If you're ready for an adventure (or just a solid Navajo taco), check out Navajo Hogan.
(3)Sam S.
Navajo Hogan isn't the nicest looking place, in fact it is a little dumpy, but the food is good. I particularly like the chicken Navajo tacos and of course the sweet fry bread with honey butter. Good for a quick lunch.

I lived in AZ and NM as a kid, so I attended my share of pow-wow's and tribal events. Ever since then I have missed the amazing item known as a Navajo taco. I discovered Navajo Hogan via Yelp though I'm sure I drove past it a hundred times over the years. A Navajo taco consists fried bread covered with some kind of stewed protein (usually beef/bean chili or pork green chili), then topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and grated cheese. They are fairly large (and I'm sure chock full o' calories), but they aren't exactly gut-bombs. You add any spice that you want--the chili is not spicy. The fry bread underneath is the real star. It is very similar to what I know as Utah scones. Risen dough that is quickly fried in oil. You want your Navajo taco served right after the bread comes out of the fryer. The whole damn thing is a tempting combination of hot/cold & soft/crunchy. For me, it's comfort food. From the outside, Navajo Hogan very much looks like it might if it were on the reservation: cinder block building with plain metal door. Inside, the digs are very simple and straightforward. It looks exactly as it should! I was very impressed with the taco options--there must be 6 or 7 variations you can play with. The owner is behind the counter, and you can see the cook behind him. I really love that kind of immediacy! I ordered the regular taco special: taco, sweet fry bread, drink for around $8. I doused the taco with red salsa and a pile of jalapenos. The chili with beans was delicious and simple (ground beef style---not con carne style). I have to mention that the tomatoes on top were perfectly ripe! This time of year I always pick tomatoes off because they are so grainy. Nice touch! The sweet fry bread was awesome as well. (I don't wan to make a habit out of that.) I will definitely return to Navajo Hogan. I am anxious to try the green chili taco. I'm not a big fan of mutton, but they do offer a bowl of mutton stew with fry bread to dip in it. That is basically the "meat & potatoes" of the Diné right there!
(4)Ruben A.
It was fine. had the green chile taco and it was good. But the bread---I've had better from other Native American friends. Decent price when you want an Indian taco. It's not like these are all over the place. But it's good. Will go back.
(3)J R.
We went to Navajo Hogan today and we both looooooooooved it. My husband tried Chili cheese fry bread and I tried blue corn taco. So good and everybody in the restaurant were getting sweet fry bread. So we ordered it too. Oh wow. So light and tasty. ( And very inexpensive too!!). Owner ( we think) his wife or daughter was cooking and he was cashier and server. They were so friendly and down to earth!. If you want expensive elegant restaurant, maybe this place is not for you but if you enjoy good Navajo taco, you should come and try .
(5)Vaughn H.
Gotta love Navajo taco's! Had the standard Navajo taco with beans ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, it was tasty. The owner was friendly and service good and fast. It's a small dumpy place, cheap good food, with local roots - Nothing wrong with that!
(3)Spencer S.
Dont let the atmosphere scare you away from this gem. This is indian fry bread at its finest.

Again here is my reviewing rampage to support local businesses and business owners. In this case the place is Navajo Hogan and the person is Running Bear. He said he's been in business for 22 years. This grey cinder block building is as simple on the inside as it is on the out. All the tables are a little dirty and sticky from probably only having the excess food by the last patrons merely brushed off onto the floor instead of being washed. Some call this gross, I call it charming. I asked the man serving me if he was Hogan, and he said "Hogan is a house, I am not a house." Ignorant mishap number one on my part. As I was waiting for my two traditional meals to be cooked up I read the food review article that he has displayed on the ordering counter. It started something like "Not located in the safest of neighborhoods don't be surprised if during your dining experience you see cop cars rush by or hear a police helicopter searching for a suspect flying overhead." This angered me as I left and all that was outside were middle school children getting off the bus. I feel this person is just afraid of non-whites pretty much, and probably never ventured very far away from Sandy for the majority of his life. When I got my order I realized all a Navajo taco is, is beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese on something called fry bread. Yeah people, I'm THAT dumb, I've never had a Navajo taco nor fry bread before. It was all satisfactory. VERY heavy stuff in the stomach. I enjoyed slathering the fresh salsas all over it. My combo also came with a sweet fry bread which I consumed in full despite having my stomach already filled to capacity by the taco. People, I don't want to lie to you, none of this was stuff I could not make at home and possibly make it better. It was canned beans for Pete's sake. I'm just trying to support anyone who's trying to hustle and our friend Running Bear seems like all he's trying to do is make a living, so good for him.
(5)Tom S.
Fantastic hole in the wall. They have great navajo tacos, basically a taco salad on top of indian frybread. It's plain, but delicious. They also have great dessert frybreads, where they dribble honey over a frybread. Not the best decor, but you can't beat the food or the price.
(5)Misha R.
The most blah fast food joint I've ever been to. Two slices of tomato, three shreads of iceberg lettuce and four pieces of pork with Walmart cheese melted in the microwave are definitely not worth $6.
(2)Dusty H.
Great taco great price
(5)Jessica W.
One of my favorite places! Super yummy! Make sure to get a combo with a drink and sweet bread. So good!
(5)Christie B.
Discovered this place years ago with my friend, Dee Fisher. The owners are Navajo and the food is so delicious. Flat bread topped with beans, lettuce and tomato and lots of salsa. The dessert taco has honey and butter on it! Yummy. They have goat stew, too; very good if you're a fan of goat! Owners are so nice and friendly. Their son went to U Penn, where my son, Michael went, so we are alumni friends.
(5)Andrew S.
Ya'at' eeh! After 14 years in Flagstaff, AZ I left there with a love for Navajo food. Navajo Tacos, Mutton Stew, Fry Bread, etc. Whenever I have a hankering for the real thing there are not many places to go outside of the state fair, the 24th of July Pow Wow at Liberty Park or the farmers market, but right down on 3500 S. you can get the real thing, anytime, right here in Salt Lake City. This place is very basic, but the food is why we are here and it is outstanding. They have a lunch special each day that features one of the many variety of Navajo tacos that they serve, such as the blue or red corn. On Saturdays they serve the mutton stew and it is wonderful! They have a website that explains what a Navajo Taco is, for those who don't already know. It is navajohogan.com Try something new today.
(4)Zack C.
I live near by and I try to go as often as possible. I have gone about 7 or 8 times and every time I am never disappointed. It may not look like a very nice place but your food is always fresh and cooked right in front of you. I recommend this to all of my Navajo friends Nizhoni Ahe'heel'

I wish the restaurant wasn't so hidden because I bet they could attract so much more customers who drive by their business everyday. I found this restaurant because I was asking my boyfriend about Navajo restaurants, since he is of Navajo heritage. He told me that he only knew of one, Navajo Hogan, but he wasn't sure if they were still in business because he didn't know where it was. I googled the address and we stopped by during the day on a weekday. Unfortunately, they were closed but we managed to catch them the second time we stopped by. I wish I knew what their business hours are because they're closed at certain times during the week. Try calling before you head over there, just to make sure you're not rejected by the closed sign once you arrive. Don't underestimate this small shack just because of it's simple construction and modest presentation. The Navajo decorations and designs in the restaurant keep you intrigued while you're eating their delicious Navajo taco. The Navajo taco is a great meal that'll keep you full and save you money. However, I must recommend their fry bread, topped with honey and cinnamon because it's just so delicious. I'm craving some fry bread right now just by typing this review...yum :)
(4)Kelly L.
I've been here 4 or 5 times now and it's consistently good every time. The rugrat has finally gotten to where she will have a dessert frybread, so maybe someday she'll have the full deal. I'm still a huge fan of the bluecorn frybread. It just gives it a little more oomph. It's super simple food at it's finest, not fanciest. =)
(4)Ryan S.
the Native American version of the taco consists of fry bread with chili beans and a bunch of other stuff on top of it. the version of the Native American version of the taco served at Navajo Hogan is definitely not fancy, but it is tasty. some things to note about Navajo Hogan: - the location is not how I would imagine a Navajo hogan. it is more of a cinder block cube, which suits the cuisine just fine. - it is closed on Sunday and Monday, so don't try to go there on Monday. I gave Navajo Hogan 4 taco gnomes out of seven on tacoaday.com .

After hearing co-workers rant and rave about this place, I decided to join them for lunch. This place is a hole in the wall. A hole of tasty goodness. While the food tasted great, it left me feeling under the weather. As a result, I won't be going back any time soon. Good food at a price (not monetary).
