Whiptail Grill

About This Establishment

Whiptail Grill throws you into a lively mashup of Mexican fusion with Southwestern and Asian hints. Hathaway's Goat Cheese Chile Relleno arrives blistered and crisp, its cheese pull and tangy tomatillo sauce waking up the palate. Spaghetti Squash Enchiladas offer a bright, vegetable-forward bite with roasted peppers and a three-cheese melt. Fire Tacos deliver a fast, crackly tortilla experience with smoky meat and heat, while margaritas and beer ride along the rim of Zion’s rugged views.
