    Visiting from out of town, really happy with our choice! Delicious food, friendly and quick service, clean environment, and gorgeous desert wall painting! I ordered the huevos rancheros with chorizo and my husband ordered el Rio grande omelette. Delish flavors and great portion. Definitely recommend!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Came for Breakfast. Delicious food, great friendly service. Will definitely come back.

    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!

We requested an open four top which they refused only to give it to a couple who arrived about ten minutes later. They had a guitar player who apparently only knew one song. It was way too loud and detracted from the dinner. I wanted one of the five beers they had on tap. There was no list available and the wait staff had very little understanding about beer. For example, if an IPA is hazy, that's a different style from a West Coast IPA. They had two IPAs on tap - both hazy. Why? My wife got the blackened salmon which was very well prepared. The fish was high quality and the portion size was good. The only oddity for her was trying to determine why you had to request gluten free for this dish as noted on the menu. The waiter asked the kitchen. There was no gluten ingredient in the dish. Why do you have to request gluten free? I had the chicken piccata. It was a bland couple of chicken cutlets swimming in a thin milky tasteless sauce. There were a few capers but almost no presence of any lemon on the chicken and none in the pasta which was described as lemony on the menu. The only good ingredient was the pickled small red peppers. Most times I've ordered chicken piccata it comes with a lemon wedge or two. Disappointing experience.

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).

The cocktails were solid the flavor was delicious and refreshing 9/10! The Coolest thing was being able to eat with our dog there, the restaurant is really nice on the eyes but the food was lackluster and definitely not recommendable which sucks because it has the potential to be better. The waiter was very polite and attentive but sadly for the price this restaurant is a HUGE let down. The food was less than mediocre. I had the "steak and frites" which came with unseasoned corn and a dash of tajin which makes absolutely no sense paired with a kbbq inspired sauce on the steak??? The 'frites' tasted like frozen air fried rally's fries. The steak was a bit unseasoned and bland like the corn (we were on the verge of sending it back but we're not those people) I think a revamp on the menu would do this restaurant well and really thinking critically on ingredients / quality and pairings of proteins.

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.
