Really enjoyed the outside, 2nd floor, covered patio dining overlooking the main Sedona central shopping street. Food and drinks were good, but not remarkable from other Mexican restaurants.

I frequent this location often and always receive exceptional service! I’ve had the pleasure of being taken care of by Hayden in the past—he’s always so helpful and kind. Today, Caleb was my server, and his suggestions were absolutely spot on. He was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout my visit. I also had the chance to meet the bartender, Nick, who was just as hospitable and friendly. The food here is consistently excellent, and one of the reasons I love this location so much is because it’s pet-friendly. I work a lot, so it means a lot to be able to bring my fur baby along and relax on the patio. The team always provides a water bowl and makes sure we’re both well taken care of. Thank you, Caleb, for your wonderful service today!

My son’s favorite restaurant, and he always especially wants to go there on his birthday to get the big chocolate cake! The food is a little sweet in my opinion, but I always enjoy the chicken lettuce wraps. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well, and they are always great about gluten free safety.

Great atmosphere and concept with yummy warm food. Outstanding service. Only thing that bothered me was the lack of air-conditioning. It was warm in there and a little humid.

Absolute amazing service! They were accepting of young children and had a great selection of meals for everyone. The menu featured an amazing variety for most diet types that infused the ingredients that can be found among the natural grown crops in Arizona! Shoutout those green chiles! LOVED everything about this place and when we return to travel up to the Grand Canyon we will return here as well.
