Really good mexican food in Sedona. It was near our hotel so we decided to check it out. The service was great and I loved that they had a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. They had outdoor seating which I am sure is beautiful when the weather is good (it was colder when we went). Highly recommend this place if you are in the area!
My husband and I went to Javelina's for dinner on a Saturday night. One of my favorite things about the restaurant was their patio with a view. They have a large menu with lots of options including vegan and vegetarian options. We started with the queso dip. I wasn't too impressed with this queso. It wasn't bad but it lacked flavor. I got the shrimp fajitas as my main dish and they were delicious. It was a very large portion which was nice since I had leftovers. Our food came out quickly even though the restaurant was busy and our server was very nice as well. Javelinas is worth a stop!
Love their margs. Amazingggg house made chips and salsa. Birra tacos were good but more like birria quesadillas than the crispy outer cheese edge I prefer on a good queso Birria. Very fresh produce, Mango makes a mean marg!
The reason for the 4 star....Chips and salsa were great! The enchiladas and chili relleno were also great! We had great service also. The not so great was the smell of sewer by the restrooms, the tables seemed dirty and even behind the tables on the shelves there were chips laying on them. We would come back but a deep cleaning really needs to happen.
I absolutely loved this place! The ambiance was vibrant and inviting, striking the perfect balance between casual and upscale. The food was incredible, bursting with flavor in every bite. I ordered the shrimp fajitas and the shrimp ceviche, both of which were absolute standouts--so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The fish tacos were decent but didn't quite reach the same level as the ceviche, which I highly recommend! The chips were fresh and crispy, paired with some of the best salsa I've had in a long time. The staff was warm and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. And let me tell you about the patio--the views were absolutely breathtaking, especially as the sun set. It added a magical touch to the entire dining experience. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a stunning atmosphere, this spot is a must-visit!
This was our first dinner stop in Sedona. We did not have reservations and were able to sit inside right away. The menu is extensive and they have a lot of tasty sounding options. I went with the goat cheese and chicken enchiladas and I was not disappointed. It was very creamy, flavorful and I really enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the food came out lukewarm. The service was friendly and very attentive. We definitely enjoyed our meal here.
