Roberta - Mexican Food and Mobile Homes

Our first night in Page, we were hungry and tired and started the search for at least a decent place to eat. We asked around, searched the internet, and finally decided on the highest rated place we could find: Fiesta Mexicana. YUM! The staff were friendly, there was a great variety of food (which was so tasty), and the place was just so cute and colorful!

We ended up eating there both nights we stayed in Page and we would highly recommend it to anyone who plans on passing through the area. Not to mention we got a little multitasking done thanks to the Sunshine Laundry next door :)

The second night we ate at the Fiesta Mexicana, we took a detour through the "Old Quarter - The Street of Small Hotels." It was literally row after row of small motels (on the first street) and more streets full of trailers that had been set up in the late 50's and early 60's for the construction workers who were building the Glen Canyon Dam. The town of Page didn't even exist when the construction of the dam was approved; the town was built over a period of six years, in which the dam was built, by the workers who moved their families to the construction site. Now, the motels have been converted into apartments and the double-wides into permenant homes and we have lovingly dubbed the Old Quarter "Moberbia," in honor of the abundance of once mobile housing. Sadly, it was too dark to get a good picture, but I'm sure your imagination of the scene will suffice :)
