    One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The daily margarita was ok. I should have had their regular one. The elote soup was fantastic. Fantastic. My husband loved the Enchilada Verde.

    Everything was delicious. We ordered Elote, crab cakes, and seafood tacos to start. The Mexican chocolate pie and flan for desert were both spectacular. Great dinner. Guests will not be disappointed.

    A favorite any time I go to Sedona. Book ahead as it is usually filled up 1-2 months in advance. It has a unique menu that will not disappoint. Of course, you need to order the Elote as it is well worth name the restaruant after.

    Just had an appetizer which was enough for a small appetite. Prices are high, probably because they can get it. Nicer space than the old one.
