“Taste Buds Rebel on the Below Avg Food”

Oaxaca Restaurant

6 Apr 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

We decided to visit Sedona (4-5-06) on the spur of the moment when another tour we planned was canceled due to rain. Unfortunately, we were unable to check reviews before choosing a restaurant. Oaxaca is featured prominently in all the tourist guides and Sedona magazines. Our waiter had no personality, was not friendly, never smiled and seemed to dislike his job. The chips were cold and the salsa was so bad, even my husband didn't eat it. He generally eats all salsa's, but this one was not fresh and it had a terrible flavor. My husband loves Mexican food and only ate about 1/3 of the food (he had a taco and cheese enchiladas combo about $12.25). He said it was average and bland. I ordered beef flaunta and chicken Pollo Fundido combo (same price). The flaunta was overcooked with almost no taste. The chicken was more flavorful and would have been nice with a sauce over the top, instead of the dollop of sour cream. When I asked didn't it come with a sauce, the waiter said no. I just checked the website while writing this review and it should have come with melted cheese over it. The guacamole was very bland. The hot chocolate was watery. All and all the food was below average, but not terrible. The views from the window facing the Hwy was gorgeous and ALMOST worth the price of the meal.

I really think the only thing that keeps this restaurant in business is the tourist trade and that it is conveniently located to downtown Sedona shopping. Very easy to find but avoid this one.

“Save your money.....for Taco Bell”

Oaxaca Restaurant

Visited this "well-known" Mexican restaurant last month on a day trip to Sedona during our honeymoon. Not sure what its well-known for. The salsa consisted of canned tomatoes and parsley. They were out of the main ingredient in the dish my wife ordered. Never saw the waiter after he took our order. Never got the ice water we asked for nor the 'homemade' bread that comes with the oh-so bland black bean soup. Save your money.

In a nutshell -- ordered Queso-Spinach Dip -- had to send it back 3 times (was cold) -- the fourth time I actually requested that the waiter put his finger in the dip to test its warmness -- he wouldn't, so I spooned some into his hand --

Entree arrived -- plates steaming -- entree lukewarm -- began to eat and a co-diner found a small chicken bone in her chicken enchiladas!

Needless to say the manager was called, we departed without finishing our meal, what little we ate.

Note: We never did receive order #5 of the Queso dip -- guess they just gave up.

Not the wait staff problem- - he was trying very hard to alleviate the situation.

I would NOT recommend this dining establishment to anyone - overpriced, overrated, food very marginal...

“Great view - good, reasonable food”

The view from the patio is really great, and probably flavors the food as much as any spices they use. They had a great selection of Margaritas and basic Mexican fare. We had beef chimichangas, fajitas burros, and soft shell tacos, all of which were predictable, but very well prepared. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table on the patio, but it's definitely worth it.

Had a reasonable meal at reasonable price, this is a basic restaurant though. Went at lunch time and got a table upstairs so had the benefit of open balcony and great views over the red hills - atmosphere was great.

Tried the cactus pads as a starter - worth a try not to our taste - but in for penny....
