    Great views
    Rhonda P.

    The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the views were stunning! We will be back for sure!

    That salsa?!? So good!
    Pauline J.

    We loved this place! We were strolling the street after a long hike and looked up at their rooftop patio and said 'heck yes!' We started with the chips (fresh!) and salsa, which was dark and smokey, and wonderful. Hubby had a beer and I had the Smokey Margarita (highly recommend!) and we split the Queso Fundido. I've had thus many times in Texas, but never with corn & Pablano peppers in it. So fresh and DELICIOUS!! My only complaint... they only give you 4 tortillas with it, then charge you if you ask for more. Service was good and the view was AMAZING! What a nice addition to a perfect day.

    Carne asada tacos and carne asada plate.
    Vicki S.

    Oh so good! Amazing margaritas, warm crunchy chips and an environment that's casual but nice. The service was great. Kept my water glass full and chips coming! I had the carne asada tacos and they had the perfect spicy taste. Would eat here again.

    Visited this place while in Sedona in the Uptown part of Sedona. Really enjoyed this restaurant and the views from the upstairs patio. Staff were friendly, we only had an appetizer & drinks , but loved their chips & salsa and big margaritas. I looked at others plates sitting next to us and everything looked fresh & delicious!

    Nice spot with a fun view. We wanted Mexican food and were not disappointed with the food here! We started with the elote appetizer, and a big fresh plate of warm chips are provided. The food portions are good for the main meal, but each meal comes with a beans and rice side plate that made for a lot of food! This is definitely a good place to share one dish. Staff and ambience inside are great. ¡Buen provecho!

    Fajitas
    Robbin B.

    La Venice for lunch while in Sedona. Great food, great drinks, and stunning red rock views from the outdoor patio. Although we came for lunch we ended up staying longer than planned due to the overall vibe here. The margaritas are offered in every flavor and style -I chose the traditional Cadillac- my fav. It definitely didn't disappoint! Fresh, balanced, not too sweet, and just strong enough to remind you you're on vacation. We ordered the fajitas. Chicken, Steak & Shrimp combo, and it came out sizzling with all the fixings. You can tell everything is made fresh, and the flavors really pop. Service was friendly and laid-back, matching the overall vibe of the place. If you're looking for a casual spot with solid food, great drinks, and outdoor dining in Sedona, La Venice delivers. *Great Salsa & Guacamole!

    Good restaurant in Sedona. We had a party at five and got seated pretty quickly when we ate here recently. It felt like a pretty large restaurant and was not overly busy. The way staff was quick and attentive, and the food came out warm and prepared well. I ordered the El Pastor burrito. The chips and salsa were very very good as well. I like how thick and chunky the salsa was.

    We were promptly seated on the rooftop patio that had spectacular views. Along the railing will be on the direct sunlight during the late afternoon but you can sit fully in the shade in against the wall. Sweeping views of the rocks and even if you are sitting with your back to the views, they have installed mirrors for your viewing pleasure. We ordered the cheese enchilada and the quesabirria. It was pretty excellent and fresh and so were the chips and salsa. Yummy drinks as well with reasonable prices.

    Enchiladas
    Vita P.

    Enjoyed our meal at La Vecina! We were visiting from out of town and looking for good Mexican and came across. From the sounds of it, this restaurant is newly renamed with a new owner. The rooftop has a beautiful view of the landscape. Somewhat small menu, but the classics are there. I decided to have the enchiladas "you pick" combo. I chose chicken and beef which was a good choice. My husband ordered a taco bowl which was plentiful in portion size. Both dishes were. The service was a little slow, but I think they're just getting their bearings in place and might have been down a few servers. Ours was friendly and when attentive, was nice.

    Conveniently located on the main road in Sedona near shops. The upstairs outdoor area is great for some nice views and enjoying the beautiful weather. They do have heater units in case it gets cold. To be honest the only downside is the food was expensive for Mexican. Average dinner plate was $25-28 but very delicious. We got the vampiro tacos with sirloin and the al pastor tacos. The chips and salsa were good and complimentary. Our server was attentive and helpful with the menu. I also got the shuga and spice margarita. Highly recommend but a little on the expensive side.

    Queso and Loco Margarita
    Jennifer H.

    WOW. This place was a fantastic surprise. We walked right in. I chose this place based on my fellow Yelpers--so thank you! It's new to Sedona and is making its name. The chips were soooo good with the queso. (Of course I was starving as well after a long day of hiking!) Picky 9 was not impressed with her cheese quesadilla but appreciated the fries. Kid 1 went with quesabirria tacos and found them to be yummy. I had the beef chimichanga. The red and green sauces were a perfect combination of spice and yumminess. Hubs had the shrimp fajitas. He thought they were a bit oily. Overall, the view, the food, the service--all great! Give La Vecina a try!!!

    This is by far the best cheese enchilada I have ever had. I've had cheese enchiladas all over the country. This is by far the best imo.

We started with the Prickly Pear Margarita and the Mango Margarita, and honestly, you can't go wrong with either. If you made me choose, I'd give a slight edge to the Prickly Pear Margarita. It had a subtle hint of strawberry that was absolutely delicious and so refreshing. But, then again, I loved the Mango Margarita, too. The fresh tortilla chips were fantastic, and every bite of our meal was excellent. I ordered the Tostada Platter with rice and beans, and it was incredibly filling and absolutely delicious. Be sure to watch my video to see how piled high it was. They have vegan options, as well, as seafood, burgers, salads. So, literally something for anyone. The service was wonderful. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The hostess (who may have been the owner) made us feel right at home, and our server was friendly, charming, and checked on us at exactly the right times without ever being intrusive. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. And then there's the view... Wow! The panoramic views of Sedona are absolutely breathtaking. Request one of the many window tables, or enjoy the outdoor patio seating to take in the incredible scenery. They even welcome dogs (leashed) out on the patio and have quite a special menu for them: Burgers , Chicken, Steak and Salmon I've included photos and videos because when I looked it up on Yelp, it had great reviews, but I couldn't see enough photos to show how special it was inside. Hopefully you can see that here, because it's now one of my favorite casual restaurants in Sedona. We'll definitely be back!

When we arrived it was pretty packed but we were seated right away. Unfortunately, we were seated outside where the sun was beaming right into our faces and it was a little hot. No fans or anything out there btw. The tables were also very close to each other so we could hear the whole entire conversation of the table next to us and in order to tune out we would have to speak louder to each other. No go. Anyway, so the food was okay. We are all used to authentic Mexican food and the food was just okay. We did try the famous elote here and it was pretty tasty compared to the other dishes we had. Not enough seasoning or something was quite missing in those. The drinks were not strong at all and honestly could've used less salt. Our waiter was pretty attentive but he ended up probably giving up at the end because he could kind of see our disappointment. We took most of the food to-go because we were tired of the heat and the loud conversation of the lady next to us.

All the social cues were there! Still, no one. Other staff passed us so quickly, we barely had a chance to flag them down or make eye contact. We finally flagged down another server and asked if he could send our server to us. It still took another solid five minutes before we saw him again and another five after that to return with our receipt. No apology for the delay, even a half-hearted one. Oof. :( All in all, the food was top notch. The prickly pear mule was fantastic. The service was inconsistent. Your mileage may vary, so give it a shot.

The restaurant itself has a lot of character, it full of textures and colors, had a cute little fountain outside. It just feels homey and welcoming. The menu...is hella pricey for a tamale. I mean even with inflation these days I could get a tamale at most spots where I live for like half the price. I just told myself it's Sedona just except it lol so I went wild and got their extra special tamale with lots of topping to make it a more complete meal. I chose the chicken mole for my filling. I also got their dairy free horchata. First thing the horchata was delicious! Creamy, great texture, not to sweet, seasoned just right. Extra points for being dairy free as milk is not my bodies friend. The tamale however was a major let down. I was so close to just sending it back, but was on a time crunch and starving. The masa was so salty. The mole sauce was barely existent and had no complexity or flavor really. I didn't taste the chocolate or the Chile . Just blah. The toppings and horchata helped make it possible to consume despite the saltiness. So overpriced salty tamale gets 2 stars, ambiance 5, and horchata 5, which is why this place gets a three stars overall. I wanted to love this spot so bad, and maybe it was a bad day, or the wrong thing to get...but their name is literally tamaliza. Their tamale should have rocked my world.

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.
