This is a great place to stop. They have a nice small variety of many things. The bathroom was clean, the coffee was good, and the employee behind the counter was very friendly
I cannot express how great this business is. 18 of us from ages 2 to 68 met for dinner. We had a common friend but our family was able to meet her family for the first time and they got to meet us. The wait staff was exceptional, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and welcome. One note of caution-the Navajo Burger is a two person feast-be sure you come hungry-all servings are large and the fry bread is heavenly.
Restroom is currently closed, as is the restroom at the cafe next door. Very inconvenient when this is the only stop for miles in either direction, and a primary reason for stopping here.
Great little spot to stop for us truckers. Easy on and off the highway. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms. The food in the restaurant was fair priced and pretty good.
We stopped for to fill up on gas & ourselves- lunch! It’s exactly as you would expect a small diner type restaurant off the highway in NE Arizona as you travel. Nothing else there, except a shady covered picnic area between the gas station & restaurant & a very green Sinclair dinosaur. I had the Navajo taco & it was perfect, my husband had the chili, definitely not your traditional chili, more like seasoned, cooked pinto beans with fry bread & he loved it.Only a few customers, service was prompt & waiter very friendly & the coffee was very good! My soul & body were satisfied.
If you want the a 3 Michelin Star experience then go to New York or Los Angeles. But if you want a good meal with good portions at a great price then go to the Mexican Water restaurant. Home style Rez cooking. Delicious!
Didn't actually fill up gas or stop by here because when we pulled into the parking lot, there was an RV and an attached pickup truck both with their windows smashed in and the RV was on fire. No clue what happened.
THE NAVAJO INDIANS AT THE Mexican Water Trading Post ARE GREAT!! THEY SAVED MY THANKSGIVING BY HELPING US GET OUR RV TIRE FIXED. THE INDIAN, AFTER HE GOT OFF WORK AT THE Mexican Water Trading Post, TOOK OUR FLAT TIRE OFF THE WHEEL AND MOUNTED OUR GOOD TIRE BACK ON THE WHEEL, ALL BY HAND. THAT'S A KNUCKLE BUSTING TASK AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR 90% OF ALL PEOPLE. THE TOLERATED US CONSTANTLY ASKING TO USE THEIR LANDLINE PHONE DUE TO NO CELL PHONE SIGNAL THERE.
Great place to stop when on a road trip! wonderful selection of snacks and drinks and they even have Faygo! Yes! The soda-pop from Detroit, Michigan! I also noticed some frozen White Castle Hamburgers in the frozen food section. Good customer service, plenty of parking and overall perfect to stop, get out and take a break from driving
I dislike the area big time. The staff was good. This is not a place you want to get gas at night, as in 15 minutes I felt very uncomfortable. Please note, this is how I feel, and the staff was good. Just questionable customers
If you decide to eat here be prepared to wait a bit to get served even with minimal people eating here I still had to wait to even get a drink order in but on the other side the seating here has a great view to the north I enjoyed that part of my dining and to top it all off a scoop or 2 of ice cream made up for poor service
Terrible gas station. If you don't have to stop here. Dont. The pumps require a cashier which makes pumping when it's closed impossible. No hours listed outside so you don't even know when they are open.
We went to the restaurant. Very dirty bathrooms (plant growing out of wall), bad smell, dirty ceilings (brown liquid dripping off and getting on everything). Overall, looked dirty and unsanitary. However, the people were nice and food (despite being frozen before cooked) was okay.
The nicest place you can stop on the North end of the reservation.. you are unlikely to get beggars and the employees are really super upbeat. Plus, there's a brontosaur for you to hop on and take pictures.
Crossed into AZ and the gas price here was nearly 50 cents per gallon less. If you're headed to Utah via HWY 191, stop here ad fill up! Last chance for cheap gas.
Gas station has very clean and modern restrooms. Large convenience store.
Cashier very friendly.
Restaurant and laundromat next door.
We stopped on our way from Arizona to Colorado for gas, food, and bathroom, and found it all in one place.
The restaurant is nothing fancy, but who cares. The food was really good! We had never heard of fry bread before and tried it. It was fantastic.
Stick to the hamburgers and Navajo Taco or fry bread. Good place to eat. Per person it's about $13 to eat including drink. Only place to eat besides Kayenta Az and Shiprock NM.
The food was delicious and it's convient access on/off the highway with plenty of parking. It's a little more expensive than fast food but there is nothing anywhere close. Great for the hungry traveler.
