High end Mexican food. Expensive ($20-$30 for main), but a real treat. This place has amazing views if you can get out on the patio. They don't take reservations and you'll need to get their early (4:30pm) to join the line and get a good seat (unless you don't mind waiting an hour and drinking cocktails!) but it's worth it. Go here for a special occasion - you will not be disappointed!

Amazing views. Weird little town set on the side of the mountain and well worth a visit. Used to be a mining town but now a tourist stop.
Don't eat at Haunted Hamburger...it's not that great. Try The Mine Cafe, or the BBQ restaurant next door instead.
The Jerome Grand Hotel has a restaurant in it called Asylum which is good choice for lunch - dinner is pricey.

We like to take 'Coconino' trail from here to 'Slim Shady' and then 'Made in the Shade'. You don't have to walk very far at all on this trail to see amazing views of Bell Rock and the Village of Oak Creek.
