Review Cafe Coyote - San Diego

Ashley LeBourveau
Came here during a very busy day in Oldtown and were able to get seated quickly. The restaurant is very big and lively, with tortillas being made fresh and even some live music sometimes. Despite how busy it was, service was quick and friendly. I loved my flautas, but my fiancé was a bit disappointed because his tortillas weren't fully cooked. The menudo was very good.

This place is real cool Service was little slow. We went for breakfast and like every single thing but didn’t try any of their liquor or lunch items. Paid about $20-22 for a breakfast plate and coffee. It’s very nice and has an old Mexican feel and even though I didn’t try the menu they had additive free tequila. I just found it funny that when I asked for a hotter hot sauce they gave me Cholula

During peak hours, securing a seat can be quite challenging and may require a short wait, which can be slightly irksome. However, the place's inherent charm lies in its historic aesthetics. I had the opportunity to savor a burrito, and the food was indeed delectable. Despite the service being somewhat delayed during busy hours, overall, it is commendably good.

Cafe Coyote provided a fantastic Mexican dining experience that left me thoroughly impressed on multiple fronts. To begin, the Mexican cuisine served here is undeniably good. The flavors were authentic and satisfying, showcasing the essence of Mexican cooking. During my visit, I indulged in the El Ray combo, and it was an absolute delight. The combination of flavors and textures made it a memorable dish that I would eagerly order again. The highlight of my evening was the margarita flight, featuring five different kinds of margaritas. Each one was a flavorful journey, but my personal favorite was the Chamango Margarita. Its unique blend of ingredients created a refreshingly tangy and sweet concoction that I won't soon forget. Service at Cafe Coyote was excellent, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met. The portions were generous, leaving me feeling satisfied and content. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, making it an ideal choice for large groups or gatherings. The accommodating atmosphere and delicious food make Cafe Coyote a top-notch Mexican dining destination that I wholeheartedly recommend.

A fantastic Mexican dining experience that left me thoroughly impressed! One of the authentic Mexican restaurants I have been to. As said, the flavors were too good and authentic. During my visit, I tried the Chamango margarita - one of the house favorites(my personal favorite too) and must try! I loved the ingredients that added blend of tangy and sweet flavor to it! For entree, I tried veggie fajitas which was too good! Service was excellent, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met. The portions were generous and satisfied my appetite! The old town has multiple Mexican restaurants and Cafe Cayote is definitely worth the try! The place is quite spacious, making it an ideal choice for large groups or gatherings with nice ambience. Highly recommended!

Magnificent. This is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Food is very delicious. We’ve been here twice and both times it was amazing. The atmosphere is great, feels like you’re at a Mexican wedding or something and service is top notch. I highly recommend this place

This is an Old Town staple. It is a very beautiful restaurant with beautiful views all around. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It food was good. It resembled food from other Mexican food places I have been to. I had the fish tacos and to be honest I wasn't impressed. The fish was bland. The rice and beans were fresh and delicious. My wife had the nachos and again It was good. My only complaint is that it was warm out when we went(July) and where we were sitting there was no air movement and no fans. Someone from our party went down and bought hand fans just so we could be a little more comfortable.

Great atmosphere and the food is pretty good as well! I had the Shrimp and Rice and Beans. Loved the dish. Also, had the Margarita but felt it was a little too salty. Apart for that, do visit this place if you are in Old Town, San Diego.

Really lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. My original margarita was awesome and the lime shrimps with lime and tequila dip were extremely tasty no wonder they’ve won best Mexican restaurant 15 years in a row. Loved it.

Beautiful location. Seated quickly, but the service wasn’t the best. I expected a better experience. Not all negative.. We did enjoy the gentlemen who were there singing. They were very friendly.
