I stopped in for lunch between hikes. They sat me right away. This is a large restaurant serving more than just pizza. The wait staff were very nice although it took a long time to get a glass of water. They have a great selection of pizza options, all available as a personal pie. The menu also has a wine pairing for each pizza. I ordered a Margherita pizza with sausage. They have a special tomato sauce recipe that is very good.
The pizza was excellent! A new favorite for me in Sedona!

I stopped in one morning to pick up some baked good I could eat during my hikes for the day. A nicely decorated place with glass display cases full of baked goods. A chocolate glazed doughnut caught my eye. There was a large one and a smaller one but clearly the same doughnut. I asked for the doughnut to go and instead of giving me the larger doughnut, which was next in line, she reached past it to give me the smaller one. Seemed very strange at the time. It turned me off enough that I decided against the doughnut and got a chocolate chip muffin instead. It was good enough but I would try another bakery next visit.

This nice place is located in the Collective Sedona strip mall. It is a popular place with locals and tourist. I was seated promptly by very friendly staff. The menu is diverse with standard breakfast, vegetarian options and Mexican Breakfast. I ordered the Huevos Ranchero with Chorizo. It comes with refried beans on a tortilla and loaded with their special chili verde sauce. It was very good and a lot of food!  A great place to start the day for hiking or biking!

This is the new hot spot in Sedona. Waits for a table could be up to two hours! They do not accept reservations. I ended up eating at the bar which is fine for me. They have an outdoor seating area and a separate walk up bar so you can order a drink and sit out on the deck while waiting for your table.  Once at the bar, I wanted some guacamole but I thought the portion would be too big with dinner so the bartender offered to make a half order.  It was the perfect size. As with most Mexican restaurants, chips and salsa are offered for free. No exception here but the salsa is made in house and is incredibly good.

For the main course I had the Pollo en Mole Poblano which is house smoked chicken in a puebla style mole.  The portion looks small but it was the perfect amount with the guacamole earlier and now room for dessert.  For dessert I had Mexican Chocolate Pie – Rich Chocolate pie with Mexican and Dark chocolates, candied almonds and fresh whipped cream. I opt not to have the whip cream.  An excellent experience and would repeat. Just plan ahead and make reservations.

Update June 2016: I stopped in again during my most recent visit to Sedona. Still great food and staff. I had to eat at the bar again because of the long wait. Elote will be a usual stop on all my trips to Sedona.
