Homemade corn tortillas worth the extra wait!
Travis S.

Discovered this amazing hidden gem while working in Cottonwood. Located across the street from the Marriott I was staying at, this is worthy of road trip for for a night of truly homemade Mexican cuisine that will leave you full and big smile on your face. Also shout out the very awesome wait staff here. Looking forward to returning!

seafood boil with lemon pepper and cilantro spices

One of the things I've missed most since moving to Cottonwood is a variety of good food with spice. I've also spent a good amount of time on the gulf coast and sometimes I just miss a good boil. This place PROVIDES. My husband and I showed up today--Fat Tuesday!--with high hopes but low expectations... high hopes were fulfilled! We ordered a Queen's seafood boil ($49.99 for food that's more than enough for two people) and it was so much better than I thought it would be. Lots of flavor, big portion, great, attentive waitress. As I write this, this restaurant has two stars on Yelp. What the hell, Cottonwood? I know most of you think mayonnaise is spicy but *broaden your horizons*. If this place closes I'll never forgive this city. We'll be back.

Best Mexican food in Cottonwood! Lovely staff. Cool environment. Playground outside! Full size bar inside! Family or date friendly.

Kid's playground area

Amazing food, environment, and owners! We were just passing through Cottonwood with two grumpy toddlers and decided to stop here. We tried the Mexican sushi and it was amazing! My kiddos loved their kid's meal and wow the playground was such an amazing added feature. Finally, the owners are extremely friendly and personable. If we lived in Cottonwood we would be at Mineros as often as we could be! What a gem!

We really wanted to like this place. We watched them take a run-down bar and build it into a beautiful restaurant. Beautiful fenced playground out back for kids. Interesting concept, Mexican food and Louisiana seafood. Then we tried it. Very, very loud Mexican music drowned out any hope for conversation. Air conditioning vent blew right onto table, making us so cold we had to change tables. Menu had so many typos that we had to have the waitress find out what the actual menu items were. See photos. We ordered 1 lb snow crab, 1 lb clams, 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 1/2 dozen sausage. Plates were styrofoam meat trays. Food came served in plastic bags inside a metal bucket, with no utensils to get the hot food from the bag to the "plate". Sausages were actually quarter-sized slices of kielbasa. Corn was 1/2 ear of previously frozen corn on the cob. Potatoes were red skinned, very undercooked. Clams were littleneck, but most shells were empty. Snow crab was ok. Clarified butter had to be ordered at an additional charge. I am reasonably certain it was not true butter. Couldn't get salt to come out of the shakers. The table next to us asked the waitress if all the seafood was fresh, and she said it was. (It clearly is previously frozen). When they asked the waitress how often they get their seafood delivered, she said, "Every Monday morning." As we were here on Saturday night, I am truly thankful it was frozen! The final straw was when we paid the bill. It took the waitress 15 minutes to return with my credit card, and on the bill was an ADDITIONAL $1.63 charge for using a card! We paid the bill, including a 20% tip for the waitress, and promptly went out for a pizza.

Great bar

My friend and I decided to have our grand finale dinner here. It was our last night in Cottonwood…read moreand we wanted a nice dinner. Ambiance: 4.5 STARS This restaurant is charming for a small town. It's probably one of the fanciest restaurants in town. It's dark inside, but the lighting isn't bad. You can still see the menu. It can get crowded and seems popular amongst locals and tourists. It felt cozy, comfortable and clean inside. Mondays they have Martini Monday and offer discounted Martini's. We just happen to be in town for this. Service: 4.5 STARS I liked my waitress she was friendly and helpful. She recommended her favorite dish and it didn't disappoint me at all. She smiled often and was pleasant. Food: 5 STARS OMG I forgot to take a photo of my entree. The waitress recommended the RIBS. They were tender and tasty. The sauce was perfect and the ribs were seasoned and cooked perfectly. They were divine and so GOOD! The shrimp, chicken and beef skewer was also perfect. It came with 3 dipping sauces. Each protein was cooked to perfection. The CRABBY MAC & CHEESE was so DELICIOUS! It was so flavorful and cheesy. It was rich and creamy. This was definitely a treat and comfort food. It touched my SOUL. I do think they were a bit stingy with the crab. The potato croquette presentation was nice, but fell flat for me. It was just ok and I wouldn't get it again. The Caesar salad was also disappointing. It wasn't the best dressing and it was mediocre. Drinks were good and strong! Martini was a great price and I loved the table side service. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed our final dinner. I will definitely visit again next year when I come back.

The seating was comfortable and I was very glad to be comfortable outside to have lunch. The wait staff was excellent. I forgot the ladies name who seated us but she was super friendly. Our waiter Nathan was training Eric and they were both very nice. Nathan gave a breakdown of the specials and suggested a few of his favorites. My friend is gluten sensitive and Nathan made.sure to advise her of the GF menu options. I ordered the Goat Cheese Brie which was amazing. I could have eaten that as my meal. I've never had anything so delicious. For my entree I ordered the Desert Blue Burger and it was excellent. It came out beautifully plated and was served hot and fresh. The fries were piled high on the plate, so needless to say the portions were plenty. I look forward to returning to try more of the menu items.

My husband loves chicken Marsala and their marsala was up to his standards. He ordered it over pasta and loved it all.

I have only the best compliments for this establishment and staff. It is well worth the trip to go there and enjoy!

The owners, Suzanne & Randy, have created a special dining experience in the heart of Verde Valley Wine Country. This hidden gem offers an eclectic menu that truly sets it apart from anything else in the area. To steal my wife's description, "Manzanita Restaurant is a culinary oasis in the middle of nowhere, where flavors collide, and memories are made." SERVICE: The staff is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. It's obvious that they take pride in ensuring a memorable dining experience. We couldn't have felt more welcome or had better dining experiences on both visits. WINE: Manzanita has a decent selection of wines by the glass and bottle. It's not the largest, but there's something to pair with all dishes. Both times we had a fantastic bottle of Zinfandel from Geyserville, CA, which paired great with our meat entrées. The bottle price is very reasonable, as we used to be members of that winery and know what they charge. FOOD: Outstanding gourmet game specialties and German delights. We've tried several soups, sides, and main dishes and have enjoyed them all. Soups of the Day have ranged from Pumpkin Purée, Ostrich, to Manhattan Clam Chowder. Salads can be added as a side or as an entrée, including adding Chicken Breast or Grilled Salmon. We've also tried a couple appetizers like the Edamame & Roasted Brussel Sprouts In a ginger soy glaze with sesame seeds, and the French Escargot served in mushroom caps with garlic herb sauce. Main entrées we've tried include an Orange Roughy Special with red cabbage, a Manzanita Salad with Chicken Breast, Fried Shrimp, Coconut Shrimp, Bison Tenderloin with vegetable medley, Venison Medallions Special with a creamy mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes, Antelope Steak Special, and a Prime Rib Special. There's nothing I wouldn't hesitate to order again. I'm half German and love German cuisine, but amazingly I've yet to try anything from that part of the menu. They have a couple pasta dishes as well. The restaurant is not overly fancy or extremely modern, but it's slightly upscale, comfortable, and the food and service are both stellar. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a unique dining experience, this family restaurant won't disappoint. We can't wait for our next visit!

I've been in Cornville for 4-1/2 years and came here for the first time about a year ago. My review was based off the entire party. This time it's just me. I came for the olive medley app which is an amazing concoction of imported olives, sundried tomato, artichoke hearts, fresh herbs and lovely mild goat cheese. It's served warm with buttered and toasted baguettes and the entire app is absolutely sublime. Learned today it develops from a recipe in California! Tastes like it! I also had the rigatoni with spicy Italian sausage. Large portion (half is dinner later) with toasted bread and fresh Parmesan. The marinara is hit with fennel and tomato bits, so much flavor and the sausage has just the right spice. The sur andes Malbec was the perfect wine. They have a very impressive and extensive wine list, great price points. The restaurant is set above Oak Creek, hence Up the Creek. Ample windows provide bird watchers beautiful views of Cornville natural wildlife. Prices are better than Sedona and this place, while off the beaten path, is every bit Sedona-worthy! Another little hidden gem I'm grateful to live close to.

The salad dressing was delicious. The shrimp were grilled perfectly and seasoned to perfection. It had fresh lettuce and vegetables. I highly recommend it. The Strawberry Spinach Salad was another winner. The salad dressing was scrumptious. It was a Cabernet vinaigrette. The nuts, cranberries and feta cheese complimented the strawberries and spinach perfectly. The salmon was blackened and looked great presentation wise. It was salty though and I had to send it back. The veggies and potatoes were good though. The sliders were a bit of a disappointment. This is listed as a favorite. They were so overcooked and dry. There was no seasoning or flavor. The onions were barely on the burger. I should have said extra onions. I should have sent it back, but chalked it up. So what I will say is order salads here it's better than the real food. I would definitely give them another chance for other proteins though. Drinks were decent, but I really didn't taste any alcohol in my drink. The prickly pear margarita looked great. Overall a good experience and I loved the small town charm. Everyone was friendly and I left full and almost satisfied. I definitely will be back again as I'm already planning another trip.
