Sedona restaurant recs

Elote.

Make reservations early. If reservations aren’t available on the day you want to go, just get there at opening and sit at the bar. It’s not open on Sundays and Mondays. They are also taking a 2 week vacation beginning the last couple of days in June, so plan early.

Drive up to Jerome to see the town and get a burger at the Haunted Hamburger

Mariposa is hands down the best place I went in Sedona. Great place.

Elote is good.

Also, if anyone can recommend a couple of wineries as well?

Page Springs Cellars is a beautiful property with a nice deck

If you're into rock music, Maynard James Keenan from Tool/Perfect Circle owns a bunch of vineyards in AZ and just recently opened up a whole complex on top of a hill that you can take a little funicular to the top of in Jerome, eat lunch and drink some wine

Elote is awesome. You'll need a reservation well in advance usually. I was lucky and called them up the day of and they had someone cancel, so I was able to get in.

Wildflower is a local chain I believe, but it's a great spot if you are looking for a good sandwich. Their italian sandwich and italian salad are both awesome.

Take short trip to go see the Montezuma Castle, then hit up Yavapai Apache Fry Bread LINK. It's literally a tent in a parking lot and an Indian makes the dough and cooks these awesome fry breads all by himself. I think he does like 4 or 5 types. We got one of each. I think the just plain salted one was my favorite. The guy is very chatty and funny. I loved it.

I agree 100%
Mariposa was one of the best meals I've ever had. Elote was good not great.

Here now. Hit Elote the first night. I had chicken enchiladas, wife (no pics) had the fish tacos. Both had margaritas. All was fantastic. Did Mariposa last night. I had the ribeye with the potatoes in cream and the wife had the ceviche. Couple bottles of wine. Everything was outstanding and one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve been in and the views were unbelievable. Hit Jerome today. Haunted Hamburger was solid. Not rock star but a good burger. We had margaritas but not sure they had any tequila. Then hit Caduceus tasting room. Cool place but underwhelming wine. Stopped at Oak Creek and DA Ranch on the way back to Sedona. Much better wine and DA ranch was a cool setting although a bit commercial. Creekside Bistro tonight. Will come back and post. Thanks again for the recs all.
