Tamaliza

The best mole I have had in the US. Friendly, family-run restaurant with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The burritos were delicious and nicely portioned. The mole can be packed and sold; perfectly balanced the flavors and had the depth that comes from painstakingly nursing a family recipe. A bit pricey but that’s Sedona for you. Great indoor and outdoor seating options.

Fabulous food made just how we want it. Organic, clean and flavorful. I chose to skip the black beans and rice on the taco plate. Then I saw a plate go by and wished I had ordered that too! Fast and friendly service. A great view!

Call me jaded, but my tastebuds said this was the best meal I had in Sedona. That being stated, I will admit I am partial to Mexican food, but the nuanced spicing and flavors were, to me, utterly fantastic. A previous review remarked that the portions were small, but like Goldilocks, I thought they were just right, not too much, not too little. We spoke with owners son, that stated that food starts with "love", I believe that. Love that provides fresh ingredients, recipes handed down, meats slow cooked, sauces that have a depth of flavor, Im looking at you Mole sauce. While the interior space is small, the feeling once you here having a meal is "grande", meaning big. Feels like your in someone's home, being treated like a guest. Rustic seating and decor, offers that Mexico feel, vibrant co

This restaurant is pretty popular at lunch on the weekends so it’s good to get there a bit early to beat the crowd. Unfortunately the day I went they didn’t have any of the beef and onion tamale so we had to instead get two different kinds of chicken. One with mole and one with green sauce. The dishes were tasty, although not many spices evident other than salt) and a lot of food. I liked the mole more than the green sauce version. If I went back I would get the tamales alone instead of the platter style because the big pile of raw spinach on top doesn’t seem to work.

I ordered the famous supreme tamale, veggie option and it was just delicious. Paired with a yummy horchata. Serving size is not typical Mexican restaurant style; however it was the perfect amount of food considering the nutrition content. Only suggestion would be to add rice or a side to allow the price to feel more balanced.
