    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.

    Chorizo & eggs!

    Such a lucky find! Beats the hell out of McDonalds! Chorizo & eggs was my choice!

    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.

    A must if you're in Sedona ... friendly people amazing food everything is fresh even the mayo !! So so good !!!

    Combination plate with chile relleno..

    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.

    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 views were spectacular, especially on the drive down (sunset). But all around us was beautiful scenery and beautiful airplanes which only make things better! The food was delicious! We started with the shrimp ceviche (sorry I forgot to take a photo) but it was great to share- so fresh! A little juicy but still so yumm! The food was all so good and any of the other dishes we saw come out also looked tasty! The fish and chips was a top choice for my mom, who Loves this dish! The fries are unique shaped and SO good! I had the blackened salmon ceasar, The salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked with such flavor and not dry (a common issue I often find with salmon on salads especially) My aunt had never ordered kale, but I think she may start after loving the kasalad! Service is as pretty standard. Our server wasn't overly attentive but the support staff were great and ensured we had lots of water and were sweet to my daughter (baby). We all left very full, in love with the views and all members happy with the food! So I'd call that a win!

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.

This was our third visit, and the restaurant has never disappointed. That says a lot. Our only real critique would be to improve the initial greeting and perhaps upgrade the hostess experience.

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.
