As Jacoy's dad says, "the most authentic Mexican food" he's ever had. Make sure to get the cabbage slaw with your complimentary chips and salsa. Small space, not the best for groups over 6 unless you like sitting at different tables. Located in downtown Vernal.

The hike up to Moonshine Arch is easy/moderate. Some steep areas, but we've taken all kinds of groups up it. Take some water and a snack and wear good hiking shoes. Please pack out whatever you take with you. Be aware of ATVs that might be on the trail. Turn off of US-191 and follow the signs to the parking area. Lots of private lands around so be mindful of where you are. There will be construction on a turning lane off of US-191 into Moonshine Arch the Summer of 2022.
