Navajo Hogan

Great little place with a big taste of being back home at a local Pow Wow! Got to get the blue corn or red corn for sure! Red is on Thursdays and a great deal!

I absolutely love this place. The owners are great, and is it nice knowing you are supporting a local joint. Though rare, they sometimes have flexible hours due to their personal issues, just to clarify what you might see in past reviews.
It is best to eat there, as your taco can get a little soggy the longer your trek back to work can be. (Not that it has ever stopped me from eating mine, mind you.) It is a hole in the wall type place, not too inviting from the outside, which all of those that love it can appreciate as it helps keep our little gem a secret!
If you have a sweet tooth, don’t leave this place without a cinnamon fry bread. *Drools*

I enjoy the food.
Two weeks ago I arrived at 6:39 only to find the door locked and lights off.
Tonight I thought I’d call at 6:30 to make sure they were open before I drove there.
«Hello?» Was the greeting. (Expected «Navajo Hogan!» OR something similar. I thought I had mis-​dialed.)
«Hi, what time do you close?»
*abrupt* «We’re closing now.»
«Hours posted online and on your door say 7pm»
*no response*

This place has authentic Navajo tacos (none of that meat on a scone crap). They have a variety of frybreads and come on Saturday when they have stuffed roast beef and mutton stew. Totally worth the drive.

Why five stars?
Because it’s a hole, dirty, messy with a crappy customer service.
A true authentic Native American restaurant. That’s how I want it!
The food is great, I love their tacos.
I hope there were more places like these.

Delicious Navajo tacos! But I could just eat the sweet fry bread all day. Combo is an excellent deal and fills you up! And the owners are so nice! Highly recommend it!

I like this place and i like the people that work there, I wish i could give them a better review. But i have to be honest their Navajo Tacos just aren’t that great. There is nothing special about them and it tasted ExACTLY like what i could make at home. Call me crazy but when i eat out i expect the food to be better than what i can make (especially since I am not a very good cook). When i got my scone back to the office it was soggy, I only work 5 min away. Most of the food in this area is terrible, so if you compare Navajo Hogan to the surrounding are i suppose they aren’t bad; but i would rather travel further into SLC and eat better food.

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?

Authentic, traditional and delicious. 100% worth it. The combo is the best you can do. Enjoy!
