Casual taco spot. We love the unique salsas and delicious margaritas. The owner (Maria Mazon) was on Top Chef Season 18! Insider tip: she has a cute little shop behind the restaurant where you can bring home homemade tortillas and other gifts.

You MUST get the Taco Hass (asada, green chili, cheese) and Taco Rasurado (mesquite grilled rib meat). Extremely casual--walk-up window and picnic tables outside.

Where we had one of our first dates, haha. Sitting in the bar-area is way better than sitting in the dining room. Get the smoked trout and warm cabbage salad, if they've got it. Great wine and cocktails.

It's more a zoo than a museum! Lots of desert animals to see and appreciate. If you're here Oct-April, you MUST checkout the Raptor Free Flight show.

We purchased a vintage 1930's Navajo rug here, and it's one of our most favorite pieces. Lots of amazing Native American art, including textiles, pottery, beadwork, paintings and more.
