Adventure Weekend in Sedona | 3 days

Elote Cafe

Elote Cafe is award-winning and one of my favorite Mexican restaurants ever! They have the BEST margaritas so I highly recommend you get one -- or two! In the past, I've waited three hours just to eat dinner here because it is that good, but they now have a reservation system which makes it much easier. They allow reservations 60-days in advanced so definitely book as soon as you can because they fill up fast. 

My favorite must-order items: Margarita, Elote, Grilled Halibut. 

Try the Grilled Ancho Chile Pork Tenderloin with chipotle cherry barbecue glaze and sweet potato tamale.

Bustling restaurant inside a hotel turning out inspired regional Mexican fare plus tequila drinks.

Seriously delicious Mexican cuisine. Reservations  recommended
