Javelina offers a small menu of Tex Mex favorites with a variety of choices for everyone including vegetarians.

The complimentary chips and salsa were quite good, in fact they were the best part of the meal, and luckily our waiter kept the refills coming. The salsa was very flavorful and addictive.

Although the Veggie Fajitas sounded great on paper and looked scrumptious as presented, I was shocked when I actually took my first bite and discovered that the fajitas were drenched in a sweet tasting Teriyaki sauce. If the waiter would have informed me of the unusual sauce choice, I definitely would have ordered mine plain. Think Chinese food topped with sour cream and guacamole - it just did not work. Combining Chinese and Mexican food is never a good idea.

The Teriyaki flavor conflicted so much with the other sides like the guacamole, sour cream, rice, and beans that I had to take my order to go, rinse off all the veggies of the sauce, and refry them with olive oil. Sometimes taking a risky chance helps a restaurant, however, in this case I am sure most would not like the weird taste of these fajitas.

In short, do not order any fajitas unless a Chinese/Mexican fusion dish sounds good to you.

On the other hand, the Grilled Chicken & Vegetable Burrito was pretty good, probably because it was not drenched in a sugary sauce. This simple flour burrito was stuffed with boneless grilled chicken, zucchini, squash, and corn. The rice and refried beans which were served on the side were delicious.

Overall, Javelina isn't the best Mexican food in Sedona, however, it's an option for anyone who wants to fill up on a lot of carbs before/after a hike. While the food is standard Tex-Mex fare rather than authentic, those who need a large meal at an affordable price will find it at Javelina.
