Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill is an upscale Latin Style restaurant located in Sedona Arizona. They offer high quality Latin style foods in a really rich atmosphere with museum quality accents and breathtaking views.
From the second you get into the parking lot the views are stupendously impressive.
Whimsical butterfly motifs are everywhere here.
On top of the small roof above the door is a large butterfly and a wind charm butterfly. There is a butterfly on the doormat. The front door is encrusted with beautiful gems into a butterfly. You really can’t see how amazing the door really is until you enter.
Behind the hostess desk are more hand made lite gem artwork that is truly astonishing.
Looks like more hand made gem encrusted windows above the wine fridge.
Only reservation available that I could get was as they were just opening. (I never ate that early before but it worked out in the end). But it did fill up within the hour.
We were planing to start out by sharing the stuffed poblano pepper with vegetables and quinoa (really a dinner but to us it seemed like a not too heavy starter).
The restaurant had some sort of delay and the manager apologized to. us and gave us some complimentary empanadas and made portabella, poblano, caramelized onion and gouda cheese with chimichurri on the side.
My gosh they are so flavorful. They are delicious! Nice treat for us.
We did wait a while for the stuffed pepper called veggie nirvana on the menu but it was worth it.
It’s as pretty as a picture.
It’s stuffed with quinoa, roasted vegetables, jack cheese, romesco sauce, black bean puree and spicy pepitas. This was just delicious.
For dinner my husband had the ribeye with chimichurri and a side of triple queso poblano mac ‘n’ cheese.
I tasted a bite. I usually hate ribeye but this one is delicious, very flavorful, very tender and very juicy . It’s delicious and about as great as a steak can be.
This triple queso poblano mac ‘n’ cheese is a bowl of tasty cheesy goodness too!
I had the fish of the day. It’s called pescado paradiso (it was sea bass today) and came with tomatoes, charred sweet corn, white wine herb butter quinoa pilaf, and black bean puree.
Everything was so delicious tonight that we wanted to have dessert. We ate around half or a little more than half and saved the rest for the next day.
Tonight we tried the flourless chocolate torte called boca de muerto on the menu.
The torte was laced with Grand Mariner and a special hard to find chili called chimayo. It also was adorned with a candied orange slice, some crumbles, and salted caramel gelato.
It was a perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal.
Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill must be a gem of Sedona.
Worth a Fork!
