Hole-in-the-Rock is a series of openings (tafoni) eroded in a small hill composed of bare red arkosic conglomeritic sandstone. The sandstone was first formed some 6-15 million years ago from the accumulation of materials eroding from a Precambrian granite, long since eroded away. The tafoni are thought to have been eroded by water. An open, shelter-like chamber in the face of the formation communicates with the rear of the formation via a hole eroded completely through the rock. Another substantial opening exists in the "ceiling" of the chamber.

From Vovomeena
"Vovomeena, a breakfast spot in Phoenix, is a diamond in the rough-to-get-to location. But it's well worth the effort of a visit. Hidden in the back corner of a mini complex on Seventh Avenue and McDowell Road, it's easily missed. You'll know you've found the spot when you see the signs for Chipotle, Jersey Mike's Subs and Five Guys Burgers and Fries — Vovomeena's fast-casual neighbors. Finding a place to park is another adventure, but one that should not be abandoned. For inside, the rewards of cold-brewed coffee and an array of breakfast dishes await. Open since 2012, Vovomeena is named for owner DJ Fernandes' grandmother — vovó means grandma in Portuguese."
