Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill

General Notes

This is one of the most aesthetic restaurants that I've been to in a long time. The views of the Sedona mountains are amazing, and the main dining area has floor to ceiling windows so that you can appreciate it. This would make an excellent wedding venue. I would say that the views and vibes of this place are the main draw, so try to time your reservation for just before sunset and pray that the skies are clear the day of your reservation. The food is just alright though. Reservations for this place are VERY difficult to come by, so definitely book far in advance.

Dishes Tasted

• ★★★☆ vanilla bourbon gelato -- I really like this, the vanilla flavor is strong, the gelato texture is excellent, and the crumble topping is a perfect compliment.
• ★★★☆ prickly pear cheesecake -- can't really taste the prickly pear that much, but overall quite yummy
• ★★☆☆ roasted cauliflower with romesco -- meh, could use a little more roasting, a little undercrisped
• ★☆☆☆ brussels + butternut squash -- butternut squash was alright, brussels were pretty bad
• ★★☆☆ rack of lamb -- served with roasted yellow pepper coulis and cilantro-mint pesto. Flavor was nice, pretty generous portion
• ★☆☆☆ ribeye (14oz) -- perfectly medium rare, but not properly seared. Overall, alright
• ★★★★ yuca fries -- these were delicious -- perfectly fried, aioli was nice too
