Their tamales supremos live up to the name. This is fresh and flavorful home made food. GF items marked on the menu but they still want to know when you order. I'm not that sensitive but I had now issues.

Oh.my.goodness. Charming little cafe (don’t expect fancy!). GREAT food! Nearly the entire menu is GF. Homemade tamales! Sting on the enclosed porch there is a great view of Coffee Pot Rock and some other formations. Can’t say enough good about the place. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Sedona! The only improvement would be to add beers to the menu.

Tamaliza is one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. The chicken mole is prepared over 2 days, and the tamales are out of this world. It’s a very modest setting, and a bit pricey, but the quality is worth the cost. Almost the whole menu is GF, and the staff are very knowledgeable.

I would recommend this place to everyone.

Busy little cafe with amazing food. I had the chile relleno, which is served with rice, beans and two corn tortillas. My meal was perfect! My husband, who is not gluten free, had beef enchiladas and loved them. Highly recommend!

I visited Tamaliza in 2020 and came back again this weekend. Prices have increased dramatically! $20 for a single tamale topped with spinach, sauce, guacamole, pickled onions and crème. Tasty and safe.

Okay place with pretty uninspired food. The tortillas are good. A lot of money for what you get. Probably wouldn’t have eaten here if I didn’t have celiac disease. The service was really slow.

This place is amazing! The people are so nice and almost the whole menu is gluten free. We had the chicken tacos, rice, chicken mole tamale, chips and salsa and guacamole and I had the tepache to drink. The tepache my husband wanted to steal it was so good! The chicken mole was very good. My favorite was probably the guacamole. Everything we ate was gluten free! The views while eating were amazing too!

Came here in April of this year, and was looking forward to returning on this trip in December 2021. Casual dining atmosphere with only a few tables, but the amazing food packs an outrageous punch! Anything with chicken mole is to die for, but absolutely everything we had was outstanding. Over several days, we had the beef tamales, chicken tamales, chicken mole tamales, chicken mole plate, pork and chicken mole enchiladas, chips and salsa, and on our last trip, we tried all of their tamales - we ordered 10 becausethey are just that good! Other than their burritos, which are marked, everything on their menu is gluten free, and they take care to keep everything gluten free, including changing gloves. Highly recommend the tamales supremo, as the toppings are outstanding! Staff is lovely and friendly, and we would return to Sedona just for this food! Highly recommend!

Solid 4 stars. Good food, but definitely pricey for what you receive. Our meal of 2 veggie tacos and a supreme tamale came out to $36+. We did leave full but it was still not much food. Everything is Gf but the burritos (presumably the wheat tortillas). The woman who took our order did not speak good enough English to answer my questions about preparations but did say that the food would be gluten free. I didn’t think it was amazing, so I probably wouldn’t go back, but there was nothing wrong with it. Overall a satisfying lunch.

Extremely cute place. I asked if the food was GF before ordering. Tasted great but I began to bloat soon after and a few days later have aches, bloating, bad nausea and let’s just say “digestion issues.” Everything else I ate on the trip was packaged and certified, stuff I’d eaten before with no trouble. I believe the restaurant itself is all Gluten Free so I suspect CC from one of the ingredients. 😭

We ate at their brewery location which only had seven things on the menu. The pork and chicken tamales loaded were yummy and the kids liked the nachos. The street tacos were a little plain for my daughter’s taste, but street tacos aren’t supposed to have much more than Pico on them. Everything was safe to eat!

Authentic Mexican food. This chef actually makes the time consuming tamales and chile rellenos correctly instead of serving a short cut version like almost every restaurant.
