"This all-day cafe located inside the Burke Museum of Natural History serves tasty Indigenous food centered around homemade frybread. Puffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, the fried dough is a perfect vehicle for various savory or sweet fillings. We’re talking about shredded chili verde chicken and sweet and tangy BBQ pulled pork tacos, or served simply with a generous dusting of cinnamon and sugar as dessert. Whether you’re visiting an exhibit or not, Off The Rez works well for a casual lunch." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

Its menu is vibrant as ever, offering fluffy fry bread tacos topped with 12-hour smoked pulled pork, braised bison, or vegetarian chili, plus wild rice bowls." - Mark DeJoy, Eater Staff

"Off the Rez is a Native American food truck that serves tacos on handmade frybread. Filling ingredients include beef chili, chicken chile, verde, and veggie chili topped with cheese, pickled red onions, and lettuce. If you’re not feeling a taco they also serve burgers, quinoa salad, and fries, but the cinnamon sugar frybread also makes for a great sweet treat. " - anne cruz
