Javenlina Cantina: Enjoyed a good-sized chicken vegetable burrito (and saved half for another meal). Tasty food and attentive service. Chips and salsa were good, as was my St. Pauli N.A. Choice of seating inside or on the terrace.
Oaxaca: I selected a delicious omelette stuffed with avocado slices for my late lunch. Although no automatic chips and salsa appeared as in similar restaurants, the service was prompt, the portions generous, and the price reasonable. The covered patio was pleasant though noisy with multiple family groups nearby and traffic noise from the street.
Rene at Tlaquepacque: Located in Sedona's "arts and crafts village," I had a delicious tomato bisque and eggs florentine for brunch. Service was a little slow, but I didn't mind waiting in the peaceful dining room looking out on the fountain of the Patio del Norte. The walls were hung with original paintings, and a bridal couple happened to stop just outside the window and pose for their photographer. The entire experience was charming, and I enjoyed a stroll around the village afterward.
Note: One painting in particular caught my eye - "Make a Wish" by Libby Caldwell.
Schwezwuan Chinese Restaurant: They offer a huge selection from the adjoining Martini Bar (I didn't try one this time), and a variety of Chinese dishes in a pleasant atmosphere with good service. I started with spring rolls then went on to the special chow mein (with chicken, pork and shrimp). I saved half the chow mein for another meal, and finished with the mango ice cream (two scoops, which would have been enough for another meal, too).
Troia's Pizza Pasta Amore: This meal was my big splurge - I had "butternut squash ravioli," one of the chef's special's, with a glass of Sangiovese. The food and the service were both very good; however, I have to admit I've had a similar Italian meal at Pastini's in Oregon for significantly less money. As I left, the man I took to be the proprietor thanked me and said, "Be well."
Wildflower Bread Company: Modest prices with scenic views from the large windows. I ordered a tomato/feta/egg sandwich at the counter, picked up a cup of coffee, and sat at a table where my breakfast was served. Yum!
Because my room at Red Rock Guest House had a microwave and fridge, I did eat some of my meals there. The reheated chow mein and chicken vegetable burrito were both good, and I went through a box of cereal and a quart of milk during my stay. It is possible to eat well in Sedona without spending a bundle.
