Elote Cafe Sedona Reviews
Had the lamb shank and it was one of the best dishes I've
Had the lamb shank and it was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. My wife has the shrimp and that too was top notch
One of the best mole sauces I have ever had.
Everything we ate was incredible, including the duck, fish, tacos, elote, and various margs. Hardest part is getting a table on their schedule, but absolutely worth the wait, try a weeknight! Highly recommended to locals and visitors.
Lovely place and great food
We were lucky to get a table at Elote Cafe and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Mexican food. Next time we are in Sedona, we will come back to eat here. Highly recommended, but make sure to reserve, otherwise you might miss out.
Watching a sedona Sunset
We had a day full of excitement in Sedona, then capped it off with and order of Elote and the most fabulous guacamole on the planet along with some chips, "to go". We then took our scrumptious food to the Airport mesa and enjoyed a happy e
Smoked Pork Cheeks melt in your mouth!
We loved our dinner at Elote in the heart of Sedona. We had the street corn as an appetizer. It was delicious with pico de gallo mixed into the corn. Then we shared the seafood tacos that were just the right amount of spicy. But the star of the me
Believe everything you read.
Elote was FAB!!! We made our reservation several months ago in advance of our trip to Sedona, and were very excited to try it out after reading all the rave reviews. We were just two people. We ordered red sangria (red wine, hibiscus and orange liqu

We read that this place gets busy so we got there shortly after they opened. They seated us on the patio which was fine as there were mister. No view but comfortable margarita's were fabulous. Food was amazing and the service was top notch. Will

We order takeout from this restaurant to eat in our nearby Airbnb. The chips and salsa and guacamole were excellent but the green chicken enchiladas a little too smoky. My friend did not enjoy her tacos either. Would try again to see if this was a on
Food was tasty but not too spicy.
Sat at the bar and the bar tender was attentive and checked in on us often. Atmosphere was typical and nothing too exciting. It was a good experience.

One of the best evenings I've ever had!!! The food is amazing to say it's is a be Mexican is not doing the food justice!!! The most amazing flavors and best service I've had in Sedona!!! The owner/.chef Jeff is in the dinning room !
This place hit on all cylinders right out of the gate.
Hostess, accommodating and gracious. Our waiter Jose was simply fantastic, great suggestions, engaging and an overall pleasure to be around. The food is dynamite!!! Started with the Elote, so good!!!Salad was perfect, brisket enchiladas are a must ha
We got an invitation to stay with some friends and family
We got an invitation to stay with some friends and family in Sedona, so I immediately booked a reservation at Elote. It had been four years since we had been to Sedona and ate at Elote. We were immediately seated and soon our waiter came out and intr
Elote has been one of my favorite restaurants for years.
Then they moved to a new location in Sedona. I went there and was sadly disappointed. The food was good but not as good as it used to be. The new restaurant is dark and very loud, so loud that it was tough to have a conversation. Unfortunately
Absolutely outstanding restaurant.
One of the top 3 Mexican restaurants I've ever been to, and I've been to scores of them. Elote corn was fresh, tasty and refreshing. The chili relleno was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Definitely going back. Omar was a pleasant and he
Don’t pass up a chance to eat here!
I loved every single thing about this place. From the courteous hostess, the very friendly bar tender and the other waitstaff to the atmosphere to the food! It’s cozy and very stylish inside with just the right atmosphere. The salsa was probably b
Came here for dinner on a recommendation.
Made reservations as this place is quite popular. We ordered a corn dish from the appetizers. Told by our server the recipe is on "page 31, volume 1" of the cookbook. Apparently that dish is well received and everyone asks about it. So..
Elote cafe is an amazing restaurant with superb dishes.
Food is delicious!!! I had the duck carnitas and have to say it's the best duck I have ever had. The corn cake desert was well worth ordering. I make sure to eat there whenever I am in Sedona.
Authentic Mexican Cuisine, not Tex Mex
This came highly recommended so I reserved 60 days in advance for 3 consecutive nights to try everything in their menu. We were not disappointed. This is authentic Mexican cuisine, full of bold and complex flavors you would eat in Mexico. I could not
Amazing Sedona meal!
This was a recommendation from a friend and I’m SO HAPPY we went! Excellent food, professional wait staff. Book early (within 60 days of visit) and it’s well worth the effort.
Overpriced, overrated.
We live in Sedona and tried to make reservations for many months. To my surprise I was able to book us a table a few weeks ago. I don’t know what the fuss is about. I had an appetizers- guacamole $14 & fish tacos $20 with a drink. My husband
Must stop
This place was great! Kanen was an excellent server who curated a wonderful experience with the delicious food made by chef Jeff Smedstad. It’s a must anytime you are in Sedona.
Fabulous night at Elote
My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Elote. The Elote appetizer was wonderful. The pork cheeks were tender and very tasty. Cocktails were perfect. The entire Elote experience was outstanding. We highly recommend!
Gourmet Mexican Cuisine
Gourmet Mexican cuisine at it's finest. The best we ever had and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you're in Sedona not dine there!
The corn bisque and sundae were great!
The environment was more casual than I anticipated based on the reviews I read. Overall, the food was solid. However, the sundae was spectacular! Highly recommend the corn bisque and the sundae!!!!’nn
Elote
Fantastic food and service. Lucky enough to get a seat at the bar without a reservation. Highly recommend! They take reservations 6 months out and are only open 4 hours a day, get on the list.
Fabulous food so make your reservations early!
Mexican and Latin inspired casual restaurant, with excellent food. The menu isn’t large, but it is well thought out with unique ingredients. My husband had smoked brisket enchiladas and I had duck carnitas. Both were fabulous! It is only open Tuesd

I've been wanting to try Elote Cafe for a while now ever since New Years but we missed our chance then. However, during our most recent Sedona visit, we were able to give them a go. They are not dog friendly and we had our dog with us, so we just ord
This was the best place I've been to.
Ever. The atmosphere is amazing, the food was so good - i probably ate 3x my normal amount. The service was amazing. 5/5 stars.
We finally dined at the "newer" Elote restaurant recently.
Our first dining experience was in 2013, when Elote was located on the second floor, next to a hotel. We loved the new location, for its spaciousness & a myriad of seating areas. We had an early dinner reservation & enjoyed EVERYTHING we or

Glad to be back! Had enjoyed Elote a couple of times at the old hotel location; really like their new digs. Relaxed, attentive service and prompt seating are the upsides of the... substantial effort required to score a reservation. 'Cause it's the ki
Food was excellent.
My wife had the lamb adobo, which was a huge lamb shank. I had the brisket enchiladas, which were very well balanced. Service was quick and attentive as we sat at the bar. We were pleasantly surprised to get a spot when we called in the afternoon to
This place almost got five stars.
The service was great. We never ran out of water or chips & salsa. Our waiter was attentive when needed. The food was the major factor though. Elote corn appetizer- Delicious! You have to order this one! Camarones al Mojo de Ajo - Shrimp was co

We were told that we had to have reservations to get in and I am so glad we tried anyway- We arrived right at 5pm and the parking lot was already filled but we managed to find a spot and we walked in praying for even a seat at the bar. The host and t
The entire experience was exceptional.
We sat on the patio with a high of 100 degrees and the patio was cool and comfortable. The service was friendly and speedy. The food was the star and we loved everything- Elote, Goat Cheese Balls, Green Chile Tamal, Pork Cheeks, Seafood Tacos, Halibu
Nice evening.
Great service, good food. We have been fortunate to eat here a few times. I likely ordered the wrong thing for a light dinner. Ordered the seafood tacos, going by my memory of what they used to be like (great!), and was a tad disappointed this time.
The food at Elote Cafe was amazing.
Try the Pastel de Elote for dessert, you won't regret it. The only downside was that the hostess was mean and uninviting :(
My husband and I did not get what the fuss was.
Yes, it's good food but it's not the most amazing. Ambiance was busy and you'll have to speak louder for normal conversations. I would say the service was what made this place memorable. Polite, top-notch service. Wonderful bartender! But the food w
Still amazing after all these years
We have been going to the restaurant for over 10 years. The new reservation system has made it challenging to get a table but we got one by being on the cancellation list. The food, atmosphere and service did not disappoint. The menu has items that a
Beautiful high end mexican restaurant
Everything here was perfect from beginning to end. Great service, drinks, and food. The brisket enchiladas and carne asada were really good. A must go when in Sedona. Book 60 days out or good luck getting in.
Hidden gem off main strip do not miss!!!
After our drive from the Grand Canyon we were hungry upon arrival in Sedona. Parked the car, and our friend pointed out this cafe so across the street. So off we went. Elote Cafe does prefer reservations but were wonderful about getting us in for
Worth it!!
Had an amazing dinner here. Our waiter was knowledgeable and you could tell he was a foodie. The food and atmosphere was fantastic. We sat outside and it was perfect. They have blankets and heaters but we didn’t need them. Would definitely come bac
Mediocre considering the hype
This place was all the rage to get a reservation and we had to wait on the cancellation list to get a table. If I’m being totally honest, I’m not sure why! The food was just ok. It wasn’t bad at all, but it was not anything so out of this world
Tasty upscale Mexican
The duck and short rib mole was very good, as were the goat cheese balls and elote. Very good service. We were able to get a table by calling restaurant the day before.
Great food, ambiance and service
Eric was attentive and made great recommendations for both food and drink. We each had a margarita, hubs the El Charro and me the special with Mezcal and passion fruit. Both were exceptional. The appetizers were so tempting that we ended up skipping
Make the Reservation!
Out of this world, elevated ×1000 Mexican food. My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary here in mid-May and the dinner, atmosphere and service was beyond expectation. I highly recommend elote as an appetizer, the smoked pork cheek plate
It was good but pricey
This spot is really hard to get a reservation at. We come to Sedona a lot and have never been able to get in. Luckily we did get a reservation on a weeknight and it was pretty good. It is very pricey though. I think there are a lot of other southwe
A cut above your average Mexican restaurant
We struggled to get a table here at 5.30 pm and ended up waiting 30 minutes eventually deciding to eat at the bar - which was a good decision. The 2 guys at the bar were absolutely fantastic and really looked after us. Food is excellent - the best Fa
Favorite meal in Sedona!
This was by far our fav meal in Sedona. The salsa was unique and tasty, and the namesake elote dish rocked, as did the tomato and nopales salad. My partner, a foodie, absolutely loved his smoked pork cheeks. The romaine salad was a bit overdressed fo

First time at the new location.
On the smaller intimate side w a good feel and look. The famous blood orange margaritas did not disappoint ever! Food and service were outstanding and well worth the value. The elote is outstanding! Reservations are a must plan well ahead!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Elote Cafe Sedona at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Elote Cafe Sedona page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Elote Cafe Sedona to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $5 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Elote Cafe Sedona!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
