There are a few options for Thai food in Sedona, but this one is somewhat unique as it's been owned by the same local family for a really longtime and the chef is fond of macrobiotic cooking. This one is the local favorite (unless you want to go to the VOC, which has another local favorite Thai option).

Budget Friendly Restaurants
As a tourist town Sedona is not known for affordable restaurants, but we've got you covered if you are on a tight budget and are in town for just a few days. Stick to this list if you are counting pocket change on your trip!
Looking for a taco stand? We don't have one! But, this is a close second. Authentic border style Mexican food, and a local favorite! Diner atmosphere, not upscale by any means, but we go for the food and one of the few budget-friendly Sedona options.

Truly homemade Mexican, love is in the food. And vegans can eat here too, which isn't always easy with Mexican cuisine. Sedona locals often order the tamales for potlucks ... and they are the first thing to disappear!

We pretty much only go to Javelina for Taco Tuesday or Tostada Thursday, a budget friendly option from 4-6pm only if you can find a spot in the bar area. Must buy one beverage per person to qualify for tacos or tostadas. Great margaritas. (Regular dinner prices are not necessarily budget friendly and it's best for the Tex-Mex fans)

Nightlife/Bars
Sedona is a bit of a small, sleepy town at heart. The nightlife options are not grand by any means, but you are sure to meet the locals anywhere you go out in the evening because we have the same limited options that you do!
Locals and tourists frequent this lively bar. They offer karaoke on Thursdays and live entertainment on the weekends. Small but cozy. Simple menu also available, serving food later than most Sedona restaurants. Try the Shepherd's Pie!

One of the easiest spots to get to without any hiking involved, that overlooks the town. It's well frequented, don't expect privacy, and I think you might have to pay to park. If you're looking for an effortless selfie opportunity this is your place! (The title is misleading ... this is the scenic overlook and NOT the vortex ... which you will already have passed before you get to the overlook.)
