Elote Café has the best Elote Ive ever had! The service was great and the food was excellent. If you like Mexican food but don’t want cheap tasteless food this is a great restaurant for you to try. We couldn’t get a reservation on line but I called the day we wanted to go to see if they had a cancellation. As luck would have it we got a reso at 5 no problem. This place is packed and there was a line right when they opened. We had the Elote, pork checks and brisket enchilada and Agave ice cream Sunday. All were amazing! This place is a bit pricey but worth it. There is not much of a red rock view so keep that in mind. Lower stars on atmosphere because this place is loud! I had a hard time hearing the other people in my party and this could be a bit overwhelming for sound sensitive people. I

I absolutely love Elote! It’s easily one of my top places to eat in Arizona. Reservations can be tough to get, but it’s worth planning ahead or showing up about 20 minutes before they open to grab a seat, because the line fills up fast. The elote is a must, of course, and the margaritas are incredible. Definitely try the mezcal. ( I don't even like tequila, but I do here) Honestly, I don’t have just one favorite dish because everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the portions are perfect for sharing. Walk across the street and buy a crystal. This is a must if you are in Sedona!

Best Elote ever! Service is top notch 👌, flavors are exceptional and clean fresh ingredients BUT not spicy like traditional Mexican food I’m used to, however that could also be a good thing. We’ll definitely be back! Be sure to make a reservation!!!! No Parties of 8 or more, and if it’s just you or a party of two ask for bar seating as a last minute option. Best of luck!

Hands down the best food I’ve had in Sedona. The lamb adobo was divine with perfect flavors and texture, accompanied with the rice and beans. I’m still dreaming about the cornbread cake. And even though I’m not a big chocolate lover the Mexican chocolate cake was quite delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything from here. Our server, Adrian, was just great! He was patient, enthusiastic, and extremely helpful.

I'll try to keep it short, but in essence, please, do yourself a favor and make a visit to this absolutely phenomenal cafe at least once in your life if you consider yourself a foodie, and even if you don't! I waited over a year and a half to finally make it here and every second was worth it. Even feeling like I might die from how full my stomach was after this decadent night out was worth every bite. Firstly, we started off the night with their classic elote. Not much to say other than the flavor and texture was absolutely ideal in every way. Perfectly creamy, not too spicy. A lil squeeze of lime over the top and a pat of Cholula or a spoon of their house made salsa really seals this as one of my top dishes of all time, but the sauce is not necessary by any means. Next, we tried both t
