When: 2010

Excellent, creative Mexican-inspired food. Expect a long wait, since they don't take reservations for parties under 5, and it's very popular.

Directions: In the Kings Ransom Sedona Hotel, just outside of downtown Sedona on 179.

We had a delicious meal here. We waited a long time for a table, but found the food and experience well worth the wait. The food is Mexican in ingredients and technique, with many creative and contemporary spins that work. We started by sharing an appetizer of elote, roasted corn mixed with chiles and cheese. Addictive, and my husband would have licked the bowl if I'd let him. We had a great margarita, and a very good glass of wine. I loved my chile rellano, filled with goat cheese, topped with vegetables, and on a zippy green chile sauce. My husband loved his rich Lamb Adobo, and son enjoyed smoked chicken enchilladas. Service was friendly and efficient, atmosphere lively but not too noisy. We'd certainly return when in the area again to explore more of the menu.
