Diné Grill — Restaurant in Gallup

Thanks to the gracious lady behind the front counter at Thunderbird Jewelry Supply yesterday, we found our new favorite place for Navajo Fry Bread. Best (and biggest!) puffiest, tenderest fry bread we've had in 30 years and half a dozen states. The Navajo Taco with perfectly cooked pinto beans, cheese, finely chopped onion, and crisp lettuce was delicious (I asked for no tomato). We also really enjoyed the Green Chile Posole, a stew of lamb, hominy, and Hatch green chile, which had a good level of heat (spice) and came with its own fry bread round, again, very large, with enough left over to eat with honey. Prices are reasonable (for example, for just $1.85, you get whole fresh-roasted Hatch chile to add to your meal) and service attentive, friendly, and efficient.

We ordered roast/rib mutton sandwiches, Navajo burger, dumpling stew, and Navajo taco. The portion sizes and tortillas/frybread were tasteful. Green chile was hot and great texture. Environment was clean and cool for a...
