Where Southwest and Mexican Flavors Collide
Elote Café is situated at 350 Jordan Road in Sedona and is a popular eatery amongst locals and visitors looking forward to ordering up a plate that perfectly pairs southwest style and traditional Mexican bites. Headed up by Chef and Arizona native, Jeff Smedstad, Sedona Elote Café is the result of nearly 20-years of travel and inspiring culinary moments across Mexico and The Grand Canyon State alike. Surrounded by stunning red rocks, Elote Café encompasses the Southwest vibe to perfection. From the stucco and earth-tone tiled roof outdoors to the dark leather and brick accent walls inside, Elote Café exudes southern charm and combines it with a south of the border flair that’s inspiring and insightful. While the seasonal menu changes frequently, some of the staple favorites remain the same as does the café’s commitment to serving up dishes that utilize locally grown fare.
Menu Favorites to Enjoy
