    Enchiladas with salsa verde.
    Mary M.

    We had a great lunch today, chicken enchiladas for me and a combo plate for my husband. The chicken was fresh and tender and had perfect flavorings in the salsa verde. My husband's carne asada tamale was also great. The margaritas are delicious and strong :). The chips and salsa before our meal were delish. The chips were very thin and crispy, not at all greasy. Our waiter was great!

    After a very long hike, we stopped here for for what was a late lunch but an early dinner. We were seated immediately, which is great because both my friend and I were starving. We got chips and salsa as well as some nachos to share. They also have Mexican drinks if you're looking for a Mexican Coke or Fanta it goes well with your food. This is the place to get it. For our mains, my friend got a tostada, and I got a combination of tamale and an enchilada. The serving size was ginormous, and the food tasted delicious. The service goes fast, and the servers are very nice and friendly. Since this is in a very touristy area, it was difficult to find parking, but there are a bunch of parking lots in the area so keep looking. If you're looking for a big meal with lots of flavor, you've come to the right spot.

    After a long hike, we were starving. We stumbled upon El Rincon while browsing the shopping plaza. On a Saturday, our wait wasn't too bad and we were able to get a table outside. There were 4 of us and we decided to share a nacho and fajitas plates. We also had a sopapilla. We thought we were going light btwn the 4 of us sharing, but it ended up actually really being filling. No complaints! Our waiter was great and always made sure we had tortilla chips, salasa and water. I would like to try other items on the menu in the future.

    Chimichangas and Taco with Enchiladas

    The food was delicious and the restaurant ambience was great. Our server was very attentive and he made sure to take care of us while dinning in. We came on a Sunday morning and the restaurant started getting crowded, but that didn't affect the food quality. I recommend coming in.

    We love Mexican food and this is the right place. El Rincon is so much better than Don Diego, you get 3 times the food, not to mention much better food, for 2/3 the price. Fresh guacamole, testy cheese and sour cream, lots of meat (5 times the meat than Don Diego for the same order) it is just crazy. The ambience is pleasant and cozy, service is fast and orderly, we have to wait for 20 minutes for our table, but well worth it.

    We came here after an intense hike and we were hungry. The service was amazing. We really enjoyed the salsa. My daughter got these really yummy beef Machado tacos and my son got chicken fajitas. I got an à la carte chicken flauta. Everything was delicious and the food was fresh. A great post hike spot.

    This has turned into my fav place to stop after a nice hike in Sedona! Such filling delicious food. The service is always nice. Even though a server had like TWENTY TABLES he still managed to always check in on us and our food came out pretty quickly. This isn't the LARGEST restaurant so if you have a big group make sure to make a reservation beforehand. I love this place and will always come back when I'm in Sedona.

    This was a fairly quick, tasty place to eat in a very busy and cute shopping center. The food was good and the food reasonably priced; however, I will say it's the service that stands out in my memory. They were helpful, thoughtful and kind. I really appreciated how helpful they were in finding the right dishes to fit our appetites! All in all, a good stop!

    Chicken flauta
    Angelyca M.

    Food was good, portions are very large, service was decent, but the area was the most beautiful of it all. It's worth coming here for the ambiance alone

    Fish tacos
    Luigina L.

    So good! Green chile and corn tamale, fish tacos with corn tortillas and shredded beef smothered burrito. Also, amazing margaritas. Would definitely come back.

    Quesadilla with rice and beans
    Jimmy K.

    We tried this place for lunch and had a good experience. We had a group of 8 split up between 2 tables on the covered patio. The chips and salsa were tasty. The salsa has a nice kick to it, but not overwhelming. My daughter enjoyed her quesadilla with rice and beans. My wife tried the shredded beef taco salad. The portion size was huge and it had great flavor. I tried the rolled quesadillas. It came with six tasty pieces. The service was good and the staff were friendly.

    Chimichangas
    Katherine P.

    Food was average but we were so hungry and there was not a long wait. They have patio with outdoor seating and heat lamps. The Navajo Pizza was good but the crust was kinda soggy. The large nachos were ginormous and could be shared by the entire table. The salsa was the hit of the party. Everything was just average.

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!

You'll probably have to reserve pretty far in advance if you want one of those times. I was there after a long day of traveling, so I arrived pretty hungry. They have a small parking lot out front, but I wasn't able to find a spot there. Thankfully, there are nearby free parking lots as well. You might be thinking, won't you be rushed to have dinner since they close at 9? I had the same question, but apparently, even though they close at 9, each customer gets 1.5 hours to eat, so no issues if you have a late reservation. Ordered the Elote and Quesadilla de Costilla as appetizers. It took quite a while for them to come out, but the Elote was absolutely amazing. The tanginess of the lime goes really well with the spicy mayo and corn. I'd highly recommend it. The Quesadilla de Costilla was also fantastic. For my main dish, I ordered the Carne Asada. The steak was good, but I didn't like the dish too much overall. I definitely enjoyed the appetizers more. If I were to go back in the future, I'd most likely just order appetizers like the Elote and quesadillas. Those alone would be enough for me!

We ended up not seeing our server for over a half hour. We'd been clearly done dining for awhile - silverware crossed on our plates, plates pushed to the middle, napkins on the table, phones out. 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.

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.
