"The Tiny Pony Tavern is exactly what a high desert bar should be. The restaurant is a low-key affair with wood booths and bar stools but serves an unexpected menu with duck confit nachos, wild boar sloppy joe, smash burgers, hot wings, and more. The brunch menu includes biscuits and gravy, chilaquiles scramble, and a bagel breakfast sandwich. As a queer- and trans-staffed establishment, the Tiny Pony Tavern has also become a welcoming gathering spot for the desert’s queer community." - Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang
