Description

One of the best-kept dining secrets in Cave Creek is hidden in a rustic gift shop, right between The Horny Toad to the west and The Hideaway Grill biker haven to the east. Indian Village looks like a lot of other old-houses-turned-into-tourist-traps. But once inside, you'll find owner Bart Krasson, taking orders off of a handwritten menu and surrounded by the delicious smells of beans and tortillas and melting cheese. We're told that folks come here for the tasty tacos, burritos and enchiladas, but we love the authentic Indian fry bread, puffy and hot and slathered with frijoles, because that's how we like it. The house specialty is Krasson's corn cakes, served with either chicken or beef, or piled with rice, beans, salad and sour cream if you like that. Whatever filling you order gets tucked between two thick corn patties and covered in a yummy red chile sauce and melted cheese. Think open-face tamale, and then think, "I'm coming back here, pronto!"
