Don’t let the exterior prevent you from stopping by. Good selection of craft beers. The Mediterranean salad was good. The burger could have had more lettuce, tomato and red onion like the pic on the internet. Very well done renovations and use of corrugated metal.

I love the homemade donuts! They always taste so good and there is a good variety of donuts to choose from. More people should stop here for a yummy breakfast.

Small but authentic cafe in the only real town between Gila Bend / I10 and the Mexican border

I like to park my truck in the shade here. Pleasant atmosphere but food just so so. The service and cleanliness were good. A little high priced for what you get.

5. Harris & Smith Coffee Company
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11 reviews
Full service coffee bar, espresso, breakfast, and lunch offered at our location in Ajo's 1916 historic plaza, Arizona's best kept secret. Harris & Smith Co. is a coffee shop and roastery located in Ajo, Arizona, the heart of the Sonoran Desert.
Reviewed By Kirk E - Santa Fe, New Mexico
Ajo's lovely, Mexican-style plaza makes an ideal rest stop en route to and from Tucson. Businesses under the shady arcade are still finding their feet, but Harris & Smith seems well-established on the site of the old picture house (a neon sign that once advertised the theatre now promotes EATS). The counter offers a surprisingly good array of coffee choices, as well as teas and home-brewed lemonades. We enjoyed some welcome down time sipping our drinks at an outside table and basking in the sleepy tranquility of this progressive artists' town.

We have stopped her twice now and it is WELL worth the visit. Great food and great service by folks who know what homemade means. Very good Mexican food as well as other dishes. The mega burger is amazing as well as their homemade salsa. We will forever stop here to eat lunch on the way out of Rocky Point. Enjoy!

Their website indicated they were open for dinner Sunday night until 7. We arrived at 6 and they were closed. I also checked the hours on the door and they matched the website.
9. Pizza Hut
Overall Ratings
3 based on 40 reviews
In a remote town like Ajo with only a couple franchise restaurants, the Pizza Hut needs to be covered in TripAdvisor. The phone is (520) 387-6842 and website is http://www.pizzahut.com/locations/arizona/ajo It has fair pizza and a nice salad bar and is a favorite with locals and travelers. The staff are possibly the friendliest at any Pizza Hut. I have all the directions on how to find the place - in a shopping center and many other details. I would love to do a review on the Ajo Pizza Hut. Thanks, MonkeyOnTheWing.
