La Cueva

We were lucky enough to come across this place on a trip to Capital Reef, I can’t say enough about the food or the service. The French toast is like none other I have ever tasted, I don’t know his secret, but it’s one worth keeping. We ate here two days in a row and the dinners are just incredible. I had the Chimmys and my husband had tamales and we have honestly never had better Mexican food. I recommend going out if your way to eat here.

Fantastic Mexican restaurant with delicious meals, refreshing margaritas, and great vegan options (just ask and they can modify anything really well). Highly recommend the tostada bowl and the flautas. We had blueberry and cinnamon apple and loved them. This place is connected to a convenience store and gas station and there isn't much else out here. Perfect spot to stop if you're visiting Capitol Reef NP.

Our pictures show that the food was gone! We devoured it! After a long time hiking around the beautiful parks in the area we rewarded ourselves with an excellent dinner. The food was great. I loved my sizzling fajitas. The chips and salsa and appetizers were so good! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. We ate every bite!

We dined at this restaurant after visiting Canyonlands National park enroute Bryce Canyon National park. This place has good vegetarian options and vegan options with the staff very knowledgeable about the food restrictions and the ingredients in the dishes. They served tortilla chips and salsa on the house. The chips were made in house and the salsa was tasty as well with a good level of tanginess. For the mains we had a vegetable soup, vegetable sope. The soup was made with fresh vegetables in season and has a good balance of sweet tanginess and spices. The sope has a really good crispy masa patty topped with guacamole, cotija cheese fresh veggies and had accompaniment of a well seasoned Mexican rice and refried beans. The sope was really tasty and filling. Overall it was a great dining experience.

The restaurant was pretty busy, so the service suffered as a result. Drinks came within a decent time, but 4 out of 5 of our entrees were served and I had to go ask the server to get the other one after everybody had already started eating. The server was nice and did his best, but he just couldn't keep up. The food was OK, but you also have to remember there isn't a whole bunch to choose from. Will refrain from recommending or not - you'll have to decide for yourself.
