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

    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.

    That salsa?!? So good!

    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.

    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!

    Chips n salsa

    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.

    Shrimp tacos and bean and rice side plates

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Carne Asada fajita
    Cindy C.

    Food was fantastic and tasty, service from Abel was excellent and friendly. Not to mention what a beautiful view!

    Quesabirria taco plate (love birria meat such great hearty flavor!)

    Great outdoor dining patio, prompt service & nummy quesabirria taco plate. Hit the spot after 1/2 a day of traveling & craving Mexican Waiter was kind, quick & thorough. Wasn't super busy as it was after-dinner rush. Big portion so leftover: yay! Homemade salsa & tortilla chips as well as the entree.

    Patio dog friendly?

    I do not think so because you have to go through the main restaurant to get to the patio but maybe.

My friends tried the halibut, the brisket enchiladas, and the carne asada and all the sauces were very good. The chips and salsa was also very tasty. Strong drinks. I liked the sauce so much that I bought the chef's cookbooks that were on sale at the front desk. I love experimenting with recipes and excited to try to make my own sauces.

(Please look at my photo of the sad leftovers). We had written down all of the suggestions of things to do in Sedona and Elote Cafe was at the top of our list of things to do. Apparently getting a reservation at this place is super difficult to get, so we decided to order takeout. Elote dip, pork cheeks, green tamale, carne asada, pork belly tacos and corn cake for dessert. The elote dip was enjoyable especially when eaten with chips, the green tamale was better off used as a trampoline at a kids party (it was spongy, flavorless and possibly good to scrub your dishes), the carne asada was dead like the cow it came from and flavorless, the pork belly tacos were barely edible because of the overwhelming sour taste of lemon, and last but least was the corn cake, it was dry and about as exciting as a retirement home party. We wasted our money thinking that a place with a waiting list to get on would be an experience just like everything else we experienced in Sedona but instead Elote Cafe is a bad tourist trap that has as much charm and taste as Del Taco. Save your money and look elsewhere for some great Mexican inspired food even if it means you need to travel to Tucson.

    Ok so I was so excited to go here. There is something really comforting about a tamale done right!…read moreThe glowing reviews and pictures seemed promising. 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.

We arrived about 15 minutes early and were told our table wasn't ready, so we sat at the bar for a drink while we waited. The drinks were good, but very expensive to order a mixed cocktail. Again, we're on vacation, so no cause for complaint. Our table was ready fairly quickly, and we ordered appetizers immediately. The whipped feta app is delicious, and the smoked salmon burrata is a must! I must credit our server, Kayla. As she was explaining the entree menu, she placed our app order in the meantime and they came out to the table in less than 5 minutes. Service was incredibly fast. Our main entrees came out very quick as well. My mom ordered the half rack of ribs, which is really like a full rack- FYI, and said they were just okay. She loved the French fries and the coleslaw. I had the baked stuffed shrimp. It was pretty good, just too much sauce for me personally. I would've loved to have been able to taste the crab stuffed shrimp better with lighter / lesser amount of sauce, but the pesto fettuccine which came alongside was phenomenal. My dad ordered the salmon, which he said was really good. My parents and I both rated this restaurant A- / B+. We in a fairly good meal experience, however, because our reservation began at 8:30, and they close at 9, you could tell they were trying to push us out. No one offered us a dessert menu, and you could tell they were itching to clear off all the tables and clear out all the guests. Overall, not a bad place to stop, just book your dinner reservation early!
