    Buy

  • '''Tuba Trading Post'''. Far and away the biggest shop in Tuba, this shop dates back to 1905 and has a wide, well-presented selection of souvenirs from the area, including authentic Indian crafts. Tucked away in the back is a small grocery store for the locals.
  • Eat

  • '''Hogan Restaurant''', at the Quality Inn.
  • '''Kate's Cafe'''. Sandwiches, soups, burgers, salads and similar all-American fare (no Navajo food here). It's not much to get to excited about, but it's cheap and portions are big. $5-10.
