A Mexican fast food counter at 361 Forest Road in Sedona. Chipotle builds burritos, bowls, tacos and salads to order, and food can be taken away. The listed hours run from 10:45 in the morning to 10 at night, every day of the week, though the company website shows a shorter day, so call (928) 282-5800 if you are heading over late. Ordering ahead online is the usual way to skip the counter line at lunch. Catering for a group is offered as well, and that has to be arranged in advance rather than on the day.

Italian food in Sedona, at 6701 W State Route 89A on the western edge of town. Dining in, takeout and catering are all offered, and tables can be reserved ahead.

Hours are not listed here, so call before you go, particularly on a weeknight. The number is (928) 254-9544, and email can be sent to dan4peace@aol.com. Ask about group bookings and catering packages when you get in touch.
