Food is unique and just wonderful, and the margaritas are even better! Always a friendly crew working - can't wait to come back!

This place is very unique as some dishes blend Mexican flavors with pasta/ravioli. The sweet corn ravioli is tasty. Has a nice balance of sweetness and spice. The desserts were also good I enjoyed the mud pie! Service is good constantly refilling waters and chips/salsa. Full bar with some TV's around the restaurant playing sports. read more

Coyote Cantina - Tex-Mex Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Never been here although I pass by all the time. Since our group wanted to meet before a concert, we mutually agreed to meet here. The ambiance is casual, local folks and service is friendly but check your bill as there was a mixup with incorrect billing from another table. My buddy and I shared the taquitos which were decent. I'm confused because the menu stated 5 pieces but looks like a double order? The food here is more Mexican-American but still pretty good. The Cadillac Marg was great. Lots of parking in this mini strip mall. read more

Coyote Cantina - Taquitos! Menu states 5 pieces but there's more! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

We're always on the hunt for a good burrito place, and along PCH from El Segundo to Redondo Beach, there are countless Mexican restaurants to choose from. I can name a few, but Coyote Cantina definitely won't make the list. I visited on a Tuesday night, feeling too lazy to cook after work. The outside of the restaurant was so dark that I thought it was closed. When I walked in, I found a dimly lit space with just the bartender and a waiter chatting at the bar. I ordered a carne asada burrito without really looking at the menu. To my surprise, the bill came to $26 for the burrito! I understand that inflation is out of control, but $26? Isn't that a bit overpriced? Hunger had me in its grip, so I grudgingly paid, eager to try this "golden" burrito. Thankfully, a Yelp check-in offered a 10% discount, bringing the total to $23--still overpriced, in my opinion. As I walked home with a bag of chips and my burrito, I anticipated an amazing meal. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that the carne asada fell apart as soon as I tried to take it out of the to-go box. Everything crumbled--beans, rice, and meat. Normally, the beans, rice, and cheese should hold the burrito together, even if the tortilla breaks. But here, everything was spilling out because there wasn't much cheese, and the beans were dry, as was the rice. To make matters worse, the meat was tasteless and dry. I managed to eat half of the burrito but ended up leaving the other half in the fridge. read more

The corn chili ravioli is to die for. Everything is portioned big. The service is amazing. The food is a Tex/Az/Mex play on food. A little spicy, but it has *Flavor*. No Sriracha here. If you want to 'tickle your taste buds' this is the place to go. I'll probably see you there. read more

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. read more

The way we found Coyote Cantina a few years ago, is because it was voted Best of the Beach Margarita! Their Silver Lightning is no joke! They have the best fajitas in the area!!! I can't wait for them to reopen! read more

So grateful for the service I received from the closing server & kitchen staff on my birthday We stumbled in 25 mins before drunk on my bday needing some dinner. They had already started shutting down for the night (no other tables) but there were a few regulars at the bar still drinking. Once the kitchen found out it was my bday they agreed to fire one last order for us. Our table of 3 was provided prompt service & the food was excellent Hot chips & salsa provided upon seating. We like the plated combos & the sweet corn ravioli is big money. Love that they offer a half portion since the ravioli can be kind of rich If you come here for drinks, I would recommend sticking with beer, not sure I was a fan of the margaritas Overall this spot delivers on local neighborhood cantina vibes & I really enjoy the food and service read more

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. read more

Coyote Cantina in Redondo Beach is a great spot to get Mexican food as well as a great happy hour offered daily. We had dinner there a few nights ago and wanted to let you know the comoimentary chips and salsa are great, and I personslly love the "go to" order of Tacos, rice and beans. All there items are authentic in taste and always a fair price! I reccommend the relaxed feel of Coyote Cantina, and the friendly owners!! read more

We went there on a Monday or Tuesday. I can't remember, and I hadn't been there in years. The service was phenomenal. We ordered margaritas thank goodness we each only ordered one. They were delicious, but went straight to our heads. The food was large portions. Neither of us could finish our food although it was delicious. We both took our leftovers home so if you go, make sure you have a lot of room or maybe share a portion, there was a lot of families there but it wasn't too loud. They sat a nice cozy booth so we enjoyed that it is family friendly, which is nice as well. They have different specials each day so you should go depending on what you're looking for for a special can't go wrong with you. read more

Love this place! Great food and great service! Local spot that is locally owned. Especially love the sweet corn ravioli! Give them a try! read more

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

Cheese, sauce, beans, flavor, big plates, strong Margaritas, patio seating and great friendly service! Strong Margaritas, packed proteins in dishes and clean-safe Covid conditions. Hand sanitizer on every table. Got the crab Maine lobster enchilada, dreamy and fresh. I want more. Covered on cheese with lots of rice and black beans. Pal had the lasagna and it was packed with taco meat and cheese. Wow! It had it all for me. read more

A true redondo beach staple. Some favorite dishes: the Mexican lasagna, bbq ranch chicken salad, and the bosillo pasta pillows. Don't sleep on their lemon lush dessert. They have a pretty good happy hour and Taco Tuesdays. I want to go back and try their sweet corn ravioli and queso dip - recommendations from friends. Also, if you like tequila - they have over 60 different types to try. read more

I have been driving by here for 7 years & finally stopped in. The service is the BEST!!! I'd highly recommend their bolsillos, jalapeño tidbits, Mexican lasagna, lobster ravioli, mini tacos & iced tea. I think I go there just for their sauces! They're rich but so good! They have TVs so you can watch your teams play. Check out Coyote Cantina! read more

Mehhhh, it was ok.. I expected more the way my friends talked about it's "Happy Hour" Got there at 5:45 and I ordered the street tacos, a watery Queso dip, taquitos and guacamole for my group.. everyone liked the food, the drinks (Margaritas) were a little weak.. this place used to be all the rage back in the day... I just didn't feel it and wasn't taken by what I spent, I'd go back but only for my friends read more

Coyote Cantina is consistent in its quality of food and drink. The atmosphere is also wonderful love to come here and enjoy a great meal and some wonderful drinks with friends. Going to go there tonight as well. read more

Love Coyote Cantina. Come here every time I'm in town. Food is delicious and the service is great. It's a must if you're in Redondo.

I'm Mexican, and this place here doesn't have any flavor, and the service is OK. I think I was the only Mexican person here... so go figure! I will not come back here! read more

The food here was disgusting. Their chicken tasted like croutons. They asked us if we wanted normal beans??? What does that even mean? Their guacamole tasted like water down avocado water. Their cheese tasted like they took a big block of craft singles and melted it. there's sour cream made my stomach hurt. Cool vibe though . read more

This us d to be a quality reliable margarita and food. Slow service, young, & slow. Bland rice and beans. Bland carnitas taco and an average Chile relleno. This is my go to combo (see my past review). Margaritas, what happened? The place was empty on a Thursday, didn't used to be. Sad to say good bye. Adios read more

I was on my way to a restaurant down the street because it was getting late && I wanted something good to eat , BUT i kinda didn't want that so I was looking on Yelp trying to see if I could find something else before i got there . I saw "coyote cantina" & I'm always saving places to go to in the future so I looked it up . it looked like more of what i wanted so I turned around & went back, & I'm glad i did ! The only negatives : don't serve cognac , it was pretty busy and service was slow , drinks were just ohk , but he really tried to satisfy me so i didn't complain. the food was EXCELLENT!!!! Everything ! Corn ravioli - 5/5 Chicken tortilla soup- 5/5 Blackened chicken enchiladas a la carte- 4.5/5 [the sauce kinda tasted like Alfredo sauce] Bbq chicken salad- 5/5 the chicken is full of flavor, they didn't skimp, and the ranch is unique and delicious && I don't even care for ranch ! Crab & lobster enchiladas- 5/5 !!!! Shrimp quesadilla- 4.5/5 Simple & delicious Glazed salmon - 5/5 cooked to perfection, flavorful , and the spinach was amazing as well ! Chips were warm & salsa was delicious! read more

This place is outstanding. The food and portion sizes are amazing. The staff there is so nice and welcoming. The drinks are on point! Make sure to go for happy hour or taco Tuesday. Such a great place to enjoy some great food!! read more

This place is very heavy on the 'tex' and a little lax on the 'mex.' The menu had quite the variety of items - some of them were kind of weird for being on a tex-mex menu. They did have a taco Tuesday little menu but it wasn't on the main menu, i.e., a tex mex place without tacos on the menu? Hmmmm.. Our server was very nice so A+ for her. We just couldn't get over the weird dishes like salmon, tuna, lasagna? Questionable. I ordered a carnitas enchilada platter - honestly pretty good. Meat was cooked well, came with rice and beans and some guac/pico. My husband ordered 3 of the 'taco tuesday' tacos which he said were pretty unexciting. Might need some more oomph. Then, bravely, he ordered the buffalo chicken quesadilla (I've been trying to find buffalo items around this area so I think he tried it to see whether it was worthwhile). It was not. He said it wasn't really buffalo flavor and had way more blue cheese than 'buffalo.' Rats. Our other friend also ordered a taco (agreed it was bland) and then got a wet burrito which he seemed to enjoy more. The table is adorned with a number of hot sauces - they both used one that really got to them at their last bites - maybe the habanero one? Overall I'm between a 3 and 4 here. Food was alright, but nothing too exciting. Prices were relatively fair. Just a lot of very un-Mexican items on here and this would not be my first stop for a tex-mex place in the area. read more

Amazing food and service! This is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. They have a wonderful happy hour menu.

Really goof food there! Gary is the best server there for sure and the owner Kristina is so nice ! Scott the bar tender will make the best Manhatan ever! read more

Finally made it to Coyote Cantina after driving past it a million times. When we arrived there was a workout class in the front parking lot with rave music. I am all about that workout vibe but honestly it would kill that margarita bliss I was dying for. Not to fear! My internal crisis for a relaxing atmosphere, good food and margs was quickly fixed when we were very promptly greeted and whisked off to the back patio. Whew! I ordered the Turkey Jalapeño Enchiladas, they were so good!! We also got a combo plate with 2 hard shell tacos and beef machaca. The tacos were great. The beef was saucy which I enjoyed. A chicken and cheese quesadilla was also enjoyed by kids and adults. Wish I took pictures. Guess I'll have to go back ;) read more

Apparently reservations mean absolutely nothing. This used to be one of our favorite neighborhood places but their greeters are absolutely incompetent. This is now the 2nd or 3rd time where we have made a reservation and then arrived to be told that they haven't saved any tables for reservations and we will have to wait 20-30 minutes. Fool me once....we left. read more

Had driven by this place so many times, so finally decided to stop in and try it. Was craving Mexican on a Saturday afternoon, and decided to make a reservation here for the same night. Was able to get one online. Glad we did - it was quite busy when we arrived. Luckily, parking is plentiful. Ordered 2 taquitos from the happy hour menu (quite delicious), a carne asada burrito wet and Jessica's blackened chicken enchiladas. The burrito was massive and loaded with meat - so good. The enchiladas were interesting - the sauce almost tasted like Alfredo sauce. Good, but a little too rich for my liking. It didn't have a ton of sauce, so it got a little dry inside, too. Wouldn't order it again, but would come back to try other things! Also can't beat the free chips and salsa :) read more

We came here on a recommendation from a friend, and let me say three words. Happy. Hour. Margaritas. $7 and happy hour every day of the week. It was flavorful without being too acidic and to be honest was actually better than their Cadillac margarita (sorry!) We got the turkey jalapeño enchiladas and they were amazing. The jalapeño tidbits were sweet with a drop of spice and perfectly cooked. So yummy and different. Service was awesome. Gary, the owner, was attentive and super friendly. Honestly, we loved this place and will 100% be back. read more
