We just wanted a cold drink and a break from the motorcycle and they let us sit out on their great outdoor space.

We were in the remote Portal, Arizona area for three days and found the Sky Island Grill and Grocery to have a good selection of fairly priced groceries. We ate dinner there three nights and especially enjoyed their Greek, Cobb and Chef salads, which were a meal in themselves. The ingredients were fresh and the salads as good or better than you would find in a metropolitan located restaurant and perhaps lower priced. The pizza was good as well. We highly recommend this business.

If you want to get out of the heat and have some amazing food with a great atmosphere than look no further. This little gem is just the oasis you are looking for here in southern New Mexico. Oh and their creamsicle floats are absolutely out of this world.

We stopped in to eat after an appointment in Animas. Everything about this place was fantastic. We tried the Cobb Salad and a Green Chile Cheeseburger with adult beverages and split a gynormous piece of cheesecake for dessert. Delicious. And the service was a good as the meal.

We had a really pleasant light lunch at this restaurant. The server was very kind and seemed shy. She was so sweet! The salad was amazing! Amazing!

Restaurant has amazing food to say the least. Can tell the local food goes into it. The entire staff is in my opinion some of the best staff I've seen in some time. Grocery area had a decent selection for the area in my opinion with the willingness to accommodate to special requests. Like selling us a single bun cuz we only needed 1 not the entire pack.Thank you everyone!!!

While passing by we saw their neon open sign on and was more curious than committed , till we got inside and was pleasantly greeted. Took a look at the menu and tada, we are staying to eat. So glad that we did. At the time there were only 2 other customers. The grocery part was decently stocked, very spacious, with plenty of options on seating. We selected sum appetizers along with our main courses and everything we excellent. Our waitress was very kind, attentive, yet left us in peace while somehow being a Ninja removing empty plates almost unnoticed. If you are passing through Portal on the way to Mexico you should truly stop here to eat. Or maybe returning from Mexico heading to i10, this is 1 stop that will be worth the super short detour off 80. When we return to this area, this will be our stop again for sure.
