This was the best experience from start to finish😍The waiter was very engaging as well as knowledgeable about the menu details, the margarita was great the chips and salsa made to order were so light and flavorful was also fabulous. My wife is an excellent cook and she loved it so much she bought both of the chefs cookbooks to duplicate for friends and family at home! The owner and chef came out after our meal as well to see how everything was, this is a must try experience😉James and Holly Tanner

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.
