Guidebook for Sedona
Restaurant & Bakery
Great food and bakery for breakfast, lunch and dinner within walking distance of Sunset Villa. Best breads on earth; take home a loaf to enjoy during your stay.
*****Elevated quality of Mexican/Southwestern Cuisine. If you love real Mexican cuisine, you will love ELOTE. Executive Chef Jeff Smedstead is a James Beard Award Nominee. It is an all-time guest and local favorite. You must try the signature dish/appetizer "Elote"; you can thank me later! They don't take reservations. You will wait on line for 45 mins if you go before 6, and in high season maybe longer, but it's worth the wait.

This is Hilary's favorite thing about Sedona: Between April 1 and the first weekend in November on Sundays, Mondays & Tuesdays from 5:30-7:30, Gaetano and friends performs in the Spanish Courtyard in front of the restaurant. Gaetano plays and sings Spanish music from the old world and the new. People dance in the courtyard to the music. You have to order 2 drinks per table (can be water), and they have some chips/dip and appetizers. Music is free, though there is a tip jar, and tips are appreciated. Gaetano grew up in Seville, Spain, and he is the real deal, and he has a fabulous voice.
