    That salsa?!? So good!
    Pauline J.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Fajitas

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Conveniently located on the main road in Sedona near shops. The upstairs outdoor area is great for some nice views and enjoying the beautiful weather. They do have heater units in case it gets cold. To be honest the only downside is the food was expensive for Mexican. Average dinner plate was $25-28 but very delicious. We got the vampiro tacos with sirloin and the al pastor tacos. The chips and salsa were good and complimentary. Our server was attentive and helpful with the menu. I also got the shuga and spice margarita. Highly recommend but a little on the expensive side.

    WOW. This place was a fantastic surprise. We walked right in. I chose this place based on my fellow Yelpers--so thank you! It's new to Sedona and is making its name. The chips were soooo good with the queso. (Of course I was starving as well after a long day of hiking!) Picky 9 was not impressed with her cheese quesadilla but appreciated the fries. Kid 1 went with quesabirria tacos and found them to be yummy. I had the beef chimichanga. The red and green sauces were a perfect combination of spice and yumminess. Hubs had the shrimp fajitas. He thought they were a bit oily. Overall, the view, the food, the service--all great! Give La Vecina a try!!!

    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.

    Carne Asada fajita

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

    Patio dog friendly?

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

    Very surprised. I am not a fan of sauce, but the sauces here are very good. I ordered the duck…read morecarnitas with the pasila sauce on the side and it was delicious. 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. Parking lot was full so we parked next door. We also made a reservation. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Came here for the first time (to pick up to-go - not a dog friendly establishment unfortunately)…read moreduring our recent visit to Sedona on 07/03/26. Was unable to previously because they were already on their vacation last year for July 4th weekend. Luckily we were able to catch them before they went on vacation this July 4th weekend (Closed July 5th - 21st, 2026). Althought they OPEN at 5pm, they allow you to call in for pick-up orders starting at 3pm. Between the 4 of us, we had ordered a variety of items --Botanas (Snack)-- ELOTE - fire roasted corn with spicy mayo, lime, and cotija cheese Decent sized bowl of juicy, flavorful corn mixed with creamy mayo and cotija cheese topped with some lime juice. PERFECT snack with included chips (or your own chips). I ordered 2 of these because im a piggy and i just heard that its yummy .... PORK BELLY TACOS (2) - Slow roasted house cured pork belly with mango arbol salsa Surprisingly LARGE slab of pork belly topped with a nice bright mango salsa, cilanto, and shards of radish with a sice of pickled onions. Did NOT feel heavy/fatty at all. Their tortillas are nice and soft as well --Platos Fuertes (Main Courses)-- served with rice & refried black beans LAMB ADOBO - braised Superior Farms lamb shank served with a robust ancho chile sauce HUGE lamb shank with a deep roasted chile sauce, also topped with pico de gallo and their pickled onions. Had a very NICE lamb flavor. Meat was falling off the bone. Went amazing with the included rice and beans. If you had small tortillas, can make little wraps with it too ! SMOKED BRISKET ENCHILADAS - 14 hour smoked Prime Niman Ranch brisket with roasted tomato chipotle sauce and crema Deliciously fatty and tender brisket drenched in that tomato chipotle sauce, crema, pickled onions, and sour cream. Only took a bite of this but was delicous SHRIMP AND PORK BELLY - Grilled wild Mexican shirmp with slow roasted pork belly with arbol salsa and cilantro crema The ONLY dish we didn't get to "try". Friend had ordered this for himself and requested the sauce on the side. He said the shrimp was delicious in comparison to the pork belly. Id assume its probably similar/same pork belly as the previous pork belly tacos. The shrimp looked quite large though ! DUCK CARNITAS - Slow roasted duck served with pasilla chile sauce and guacamole Yummy roasted duck with chile sauce, good amount of guacamole and a ton of various veggies, pico and fresh jalepeno. Weirdly the duck wasn't in slices but all sorts of varying sizes. There were some good pieces on top but lots of small pieces hiding around. Elote Cafe offerings ARE on a pricier side BUT they are ALL delicious. It is actually kind of DIFFICULT to find a GOOD restaurant in Sedona, weirdly. Would definitely eat here again in the future, if i come back to Sedona

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 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.
