Family‑friendly Mexican restaurant in Tusayan serving hearty plates, house‑made salsa, and frosty margaritas—just five minutes south of Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim entrance.
I ordered the Tacos Al Pastor to go. It came with 5 very full tacos, rice and beans. I also got a side of chips and salsa all for 21! This meal could have easily fed two people. It was delicious and the service here is wonderful! Will definitely be going back again
We stayed in the red feather hotel and went to have breakfast at this restaurant. They have buffet which is delicious. You can find scramble eggs with ham, totopos, spicy sauce, beacon, Rajas, potatoes, everything was so delicious. The only thing my son didn't like was the chocolate milk (too sweet). Staff is really nice. We highly recommend it.
Great food for decent price. Quantities were awesome. Nice vibe.If you stay at red feather lodge next to it, don’t forget to ask for 10% discount.Also given complimentary fresh tortilla chips when you sit. I asked for spicy salsa. It was really spicy and awesome.I recommend the Combo where you can get 3 items for $23. Worth it and can fill up 2 people fairly easily.Also ended up going for breakfast. They have a buffet if you’re hungry.I wouldn’t recommend the cappucino though. Seemed instant powder made.
Came here for dinner tonight and it was fantastic! We were welcomed by the friendly team and our waitress Anna was fantastic and attentive all evening! We were presented with warm home-made tortilla chips and salsa which was a lovely touch. We opted for the steak fajitas for two which were delicious! We topped it off with churros and the 3 leches cake which were equally brilliant. Overall the food and service were excellent we can’t recommend this friendly family run restaurant enough!!
Honestly, as a French who LOVES Mexican food (which isn’t that famous in France), this was the best meal of my life! I had the chicken fajitas and it was delicious, the veggies were perfect, the guacamole was amazing… My compliments to the chef!The staff was very polite and showing a lot of solicitude!5 stars WELL deserved!

Plaza Bonita brings the flavors of northern Mexico to the South Rim gateway town of Tusayan. Brightly painted Talavera tiles, colorful murals, and upbeat Latin music create a lively setting for everything from sunrise breakfast burritos to late‑night fajitas. Portions are generous, salsa is made fresh daily, and the bar shakes up a dozen margarita variations. The restaurant sits inside the Red Feather Lodge complex, making it a convenient walk for many overnight guests. Large tables, kid‑friendly menu items, and speedy service make it a reliable choice for families and tour groups refueling after a day on the rim.
