    This is a solid breakfast and lunch spot. It was packed on a weekday around lunchtime. I decided to get a late breakfast and wasn't disappointed. I got a Denver omelette.. I believe( sorry I'm not positive), with hash browns and toast and it was very good. It was a very large space with good vibes. Friendly service. Pretty good prices for Sedona. I'll be back.

    Cafe Jose was just decent Mexican food. They are very generous with their green and red salsas. Didn't find anything special about their dishes.

    I love a good diner with a booth situation where you can see what's happening in the kitchen. As soon as I walked in I could immediately tell this is where the locals eat and I was not at all disappointed. I had the basic breakfast (2 eggs & home fries) with French toast to substitute the toast. The breakfast was so delicious and filling and everything was cooked perfectly. This is a really great place for a filling meal before getting out to see the sights of Sedona. There were only a few patrons when I arrived so service was excellent and very prompt.

    Almost every time I'm in Sedona I eat here and have been doing so for the last 20 years almost decided to drop down from Flagstaff for lunch today and I'm so glad I slipped breakfast because I had the chili Relleno, a Carne Asada taco and a ground beef enchilada and as you can see from the photo they are all gone. Also the rice and beans were delicious especially the beans I have had better rice and that's just based on personal preferences. It's still very good. My waitress Courtney was exceptionally friendly and provide a great service. I have never had anything here that was bad and for Sedona they've got fantastic prices and always have I started eating here about two years after they opened in 2006 I believe they opened in 2004 by far one of my favorite places in Sedona!!!

    The place is always packed!

    The service is so wonderful and I have always loved the food here so I wanted to take a minute and post a wonderful review so thank you Café Jose and the staff for your dedication and hard work here in Sedona another family owned and operated business you gotta love that.

    The good: Service for our big group of 12 was flawless. Orders came out quickly and efficiently. Also, the prices are excellent, for pricey Sedona or anywhere. You can get a margarita for seven dollars, nothing wrong with that. And our server was happy to take a picture of our group against the cactus mural on the wall. However, this is definitely not the best Mexican food in Sedona as a local promised (I've only tried Tortas del Fuego in addition but that was better) and it really isn't a Mexican restaurant at all. Yes, you can get a lot of Mexican food but there are also a lot of American standbys, eg meat loaf. I always order the chile relleno combo plat when it is ordered. In mine the chile had not been roasted before prep which gave it a crunch I didn't expect or enjoy. Rice and beans were quotidian. Also the lighting is quite bright; don't make the place where you pop the question on a romantic date. Overall I was happy with the experience and would return if I were a local. But would order from the American menu.

    The BEST breakfast and lunch food in Sedona!…read more If you like hatch chile (my New Mexico peeps know!) the quilaquiles are to die for!!! The best I have had outside of New Mexico.

We left both of our meals 3/4 uneaten. We had the calamari as an appetizer- it was soggy, but that wasn't the problem tbh- it was the other two dishes we ordered: the southwest pasta tasted bad. How do you screw up pasta? The description of the dish sounds delish, pasta, mushrooms, chicken, spinach in a tomato cream sauce, it was horrible. Something must have been spoiled in the above listed ingredients to have it taste that way. I had ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as my main and it tasted reheated. The Paloma and Smoky peach margarita had way too much alcohol and also had zero flavor, we asked for them to be removed from our bill because we could not drink them. You can enjoy sunset without eating here as there is a lookout. Save yourself the waste of money and don't eat here. We literally left the Mesa Grill and had to go grab food elsewhere. This place is a tourist trap.

He checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing, and his energy honestly made the whole experience that much better.

We ended up sitting outside, and I loved that the patio was covered and equipped with heaters, which made it cozy even with the weather acting up a bit. It was lightly sprinkling, and we did get a few drops here and there, but honestly, it didn't take away from the experience. Now let's talk about the food--absolutely delicious. The deviled eggs were generously stuffed and beautifully presented, which made them just as enjoyable to look at as they were to eat. We shared the filet mignon, served with mushroom risotto, and wow... it was completely out of this world. Perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. We paired it with the honey garlic carrots, and they were the perfect balance of sweet and savory--definitely a standout side. I also ordered a smoked blueberry sour cocktail, and it was so good--unique, refreshing, and well-crafted. Service was solid and consistent throughout the meal. Nothing over-the-top, but everything came out smoothly and as expected. Overall, this spot really delivered--from the ambiance to the flavor-packed dishes. I'd absolutely come back again.

We didn't have reservations and had already been told at 3 different places that the wait time would be well over an hour. We put our names down at a place and I kept searching on yelp for something close by. This came up -- no wait. Blood Orange Mezcalita -- perfectly balanced. Super drinkable with a smoky mezcal that I really appreciated. I ordered the Carne Adovada -- Santa Fe style smoked pork shoulder. It was absolutely delicious and a very generous portion. More than 1/2 went back to the resort with us for breakfast the next day! My son ordered a burger and holy moly was it perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. What do you expect when it's fresh ground filet mignon? Hubby ordered Salmon Mignon -- a salmon medallion cooked medium rare. Absolutely divine. So grateful that this place wasn't hopping so we could easily get a table -- but also wondering why. The food was excellent and they have a remarkable wine selection too. Very elegantly appointed restaurant-- it would do well to dress up, but we saw people in shorts and flip flops equally comfortable. So go as you wish.
