When sat we waited 5 min or so to be acknowledged by any sever I counted 6. When I asked about taco specials seeing how it was taco Tuesday my server rolled her eyes listed chicken carne or shrimp...no prices just a list of tacos available. We ordered our food, after about 10 minutes later I had to approach all the servers behind the bar giving each other back rubs to ask them for chips and salsa since food was taking longer than normal and my kids were getting wild. The manager brought us our food just sat it down and left. Our server came shortly after and I was able to get an extra plate I needed but after that no checkup on us the food or our empty soda cups. Working in the same service and knowing the 6 servers working only had 14 tables all together in the restaurant and couldn't even express the 10-4 rule was disappointing. Oh and here's the "fresh chips" crumbs we waited for them to "freshly make." The pasta was amazing if you're looking for friendly fast good service this is NOT the place.

We've been to this place a few times in the past. The food was usually decent--not amazing, but…read moresatisfying--and the margaritas were consistently weak. On a previous visit, I mentioned the margaritas to the owner, who told me to ask for them to be made "by scratch" next time. Well, I did just that on this visit, and unfortunately, it made no difference. Still watered down and lacking flavor. When I mentioned this to the staff, the only response I got was a polite "sorry"--no effort to remake it or make things right. To make matters worse, the food this time was bland and tasteless, a noticeable drop in quality. They also have a new menu with noticeably higher prices, which might be easier to swallow if the quality had improved instead of declined. On the bright side, the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, which is why this review isn't a one-star. But sadly, between the lackluster food, underwhelming drinks, and rising prices, I think this might have been our last visit.

This innovative dish, for a Mexican place, was based with a yellow rice mixed with the tender chicken, mixed (basic) vegetables, and freshly-cooked green peppers, broccoli, onions and mushrooms. For style and taste, fresh tomatoes and avocado slices were on the edges of the plate. The sauce was mildly salty with a light soy and green chili taste - held together with thick gooey Monterrey cheese. I enjoyed this the richness of this dish. My eating partner had the Polle Mole (pun). This was chicken breast in a dark mole sauce, with the earthiness of chocolate and some sweetness to bring out the flavor. Unexpectedly good eating. Yay!

And I am here to tell you: none of them -- not one -- prepared me for this place. Let's start with the Governor taco. I don't know how to explain what happened to me.

One sip and the whole table caved -- everyone ordered one. It's that good. I've already mentally committed to drinking three more before we leave. And the beans deserve their own paragraph.

I want to write this review in hopes of saving someone else from making the same mistake I did…read more I was incredibly excited to dine at Elote Café and managed to score a dinner reservation less than a week before my trip to Sedona, which is practically impossible if you've ever tried to get in. The anticipation was high, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the hype. For context, I'm from California and am accustomed to fresh, authentic Mexican food. To be fair, Elote Café does not claim to be authentic Mexican cuisine. If that's what you're looking for, this is not it. The menu leans much more toward a Tex-Mex/fusion style. Drinks The margaritas were fine. We requested Tajín rims, which they accommodated, but the presentation felt underwhelming for a restaurant of this reputation and price point. High-end cocktail programs typically include thoughtful touches--dried citrus, smoked cinnamon, herbs, or something that elevates the experience. These arrived as basic margaritas with salt and a lime wedge. Appetizers The complimentary chips and salsa were just okay. The salsa had an unexpected sweetness that didn't work for me. The famous Elote, however, absolutely deserves the praise. It was the best thing I ate all night--savory, balanced, and packed with flavor. Easily a 10/10. The guacamole was also excellent. No complaints there. Entrees The chicken enchiladas had flavorful chicken, but the green sauce was overwhelmingly tart and lacked the seasoning needed to balance that acidity. The shrimp and pork belly dish was disappointing. The pork belly was good, but there were only two very small pieces. The shrimp were underseasoned and lacked flavor. The carne asada was the biggest letdown of the night. It arrived covered in a red sauce that seemed to be attempting an enchilada-style sauce, topped with pickled onions and a slice of bleu cheese. While I appreciated the pickled onions, the bleu cheese felt like a strange addition to a carne asada dish. More importantly, despite being described as a prime cut skirt steak and cooked rare as requested, the meat was surprisingly tough. Rice&Beans The entrees came with rice and beans. The beans were acceptable, though nothing memorable. The rice, however, tasted like boxed or instant rice. At a restaurant where a dinner for four can easily approach $300, I expect better than something that tastes like it came from a pantry packet. It's a small detail, but details matter when a restaurant has built its reputation around being a must-visit dining destination. Dessert By this point we had no intention of ordering dessert, but we were celebrating a birthday and received a complimentary ice cream dessert. It was actually very good. The vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel sauce all tasted house-made and had a rich dulce de leche flavor. Final Thoughts Our bill was nearly $300 for four people, and the overall experience simply wasn't worth the cost. Aside from the elote and guacamole, most dishes felt underseasoned, unbalanced, or failed to justify the restaurant's reputation. What puzzled me most was seeing several empty tables throughout service. Given how difficult reservations are to obtain, I expected the restaurant to be completely full. This is one of those restaurants where the hype far exceeds the reality. If you're worried about missing out, don't be. In my opinion, you're not.
