Overall this restaurant is great, but I don't need to come back. If you're coming, make sure you reserve it at a time where you can enjoy the views!
Prior to coming to Mariposa, I was extremely excited about trying the steak and empanadas. The empanadas delivered, the steaks did not, which left me shocked.
My girlfriends and I had a reservation for 7:30PM, we arrived at the restaurant to check in at 7:15. We were told our table would be ready shortly, so we waited at the bar. At 7:35, we went to check on our table, we were told that the people sitting at our table in the main dining room were eating desert. We then waited until 7:45, went back to check on our table, we were told they are getting another table ready for us. We didn't get the main pretty dining room, they put us to the side, which was not as gorgeous as the main dining room.
When we sat, we ordered the Filet of beef, roasted potatoes, onion and queso empanadas - SO SO GOOD. Make sure you smother them in the chimichurri and pineapple, amazing.
For dinner, I ordered the NY strip and the award winning Lisa's lovely lemon mashed potatoes with luscious lobster scampi, I was underwhelmed. Both truly lacked flavor. I packed them to go, so I could turn the dishes into something else at home. The chimichurri sauce is extremely needed for the steak because the steak itself lacked seasoning. I'm also very particular about my steaks, so there's that.
My girlfriends ordered the pollo rustico, and that was GOOD. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, I wish I would have ordered that over my steak. My other girlfriend had the filet, and I was also underwhelmed with her steak. She liked it though.
Sides to order roasted potatoes (AMAZING), elote corn (AMAZING)
The triple queso mac and cheese was not good, all of us packed it up, to season it at home lol
Again, nice restaurant if you're looking for a beautiful restaurant in Sedona, but the food could have had more seasoning.
