    We just love this local Mexican restaurant. My kids crave their food whenever they come into town. My daughter has been ordering Senora Ravioli for years. It's no longer on the menu but she never has a problem getting it. I love the BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad. So yummy. Looks like a few more Whoop Ass sauces to choose from as well. We shall be back. Ok, bye.

    Chicken quesadilla is filling.

    My wife and I have been coming to this location since it opened. Always good friendly neighborhood service, tasty food, and a fun night out. When it comes to sleeper locations, this is a neighborhood gem, and one of my favorite spots in the South Bay. You will find it tucked away by Petco. The food rocks, it's an interesting fusion of Mexican and something, not sure what that something is, they just do everything with a flair. They have several items that are not Mexican, so don't stereotype the place as Mexican because it's not necessarily. My 'go to' item is the Turkey Jalapeno Enchiladas. One with salsa raja (red sauce), one with tomatillo sauce (green sauce). Served with black beans, red rice, sour cream and pico de gallo. If you like to drink, they have a deep tequila list, some really good stuff. If you want to go traditional, they make the best margarita I've had in the South Bay (sorry Pancho's!). The drinks compliment the salsa (way~good) and fresh chips. My kids think the green and red chips, which are few and far between, are lucky chips. The atmosphere can be loud because they really pack people into the venue. That said, it's a good place for kids. The wait staff is all really friendly, and they know what they are talking about (food and drinks). The name, "Coyote Cantina" is a bit overdone with the art sculptures throughout the restaurant. Personally, I think it brings character. On my recent visit I was running late and "Birdy" was great about holding my table. Our server was Skyla who has server us a few times, another friendly personality. If you are a sports person, they have a few televisions near the bar (on mute) so you can always get caught up on scores. The televisions are not positioned so that they visually interfere with dinner. I love this place, do yourself a favor and visit, the price is above average but worth it.

    This place is sooo good! Fast, friendly service. Traditional dishes along with some unique specialties like the roasted corn ravioli are wonderful! Chips and guacamole are definitely worth the calories!

    The food is decent, but it is significantly impacted by the lackluster service. Overall, the service does not meet expectations.

    Is this restaurant going to reopen or not? My husband passed by recently Sept. 11, 2025 saw the doors open and sign saying reopening soon?…

    Yes there is a sign saying they will reopen and I personally talked to someone working on renovation type stuff -but they were vague about the timeline

    What time is happy hour?

    4-7pm Fri-Sun, 5-7pm Tues- Thurs, all night on Monday.

    Do they have any vegan entrees?

    Woo hoo, yes they do...

Out of the items we ordered, the pizza and rustic salad were the standouts. The spicy Korean wings were better than the buffalo and the other items were decent, Seating was pretty quick and the service quick. The environment was chill and relaxed and it was nice to be seated in the back area, away from the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for a hangout place after work, this would be a nice happy hour spot. A downside is that with the restaurant being two floors, it's not stroller/ kid friendly. We had to park our stroller downstairs and lug all our stuff upstairs.

The not-as-good: Service was just okay. Maybe it was just from working an exceptionally hot day, but it didn't feel like staff really cared to be there. We are South Bay locals, but I'd imagine this place is a huge draw for tourists and the wait staff just seemed annoyed by our presence and waved us off like we were tourists. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was our first date night out since having a baby 7 months ago, and no mention of that our entire visit (or no one cared to ask). In terms of food, I'd say the charred watermelon salad was the star of evening. Katsu calamari fries were fine, nothing to write home about, but a nice accompaniment to the salad. We also got the Huli Huli chicken entree to share -- chicken was nice and tender, but the "lettuce cups" were just two large leaves of lettuce and it wasn't very clear how to assemble them (if that was the intention), so we left them alone. But the charred pineapple was my absolute nemesis that evening. The sun had set, and the fire pits at the tables to our left had just been fired up, but it was still pretty hard to see our food. My husband pointed out that the spiky pineapple skin was still on the pineapple, so I avoided that and started cutting around to a smaller piece of the inside of the pineapple with a knife so it could accompany the chicken -- the bottom ended up being SO charred that it was lodged in my throat for about 2-3 minutes, like something was grating against my esophagus Kinda ruined the rest of the meal for me. Suggestions: Candles for the tables when the sun sets so patrons can see what they're eating? Or have wait staff explain the chef's preferred method of consumption? Overall, we'd come back for a happy hour by the beach with a small group of friends with some small plates and people watch during sunset to some live music, but as a special occasion spot, I'd find another spot.
