    Nothing was left on the dish.

    Arianna, our server was very attentive! This was my first time and I felt like I was on vacation. Our view was like looking at a rainbow and reminded me to breathe. The calamari tacos with the guacamole was a perfect combination to hit my mouth. And, I did eat 90% of my flan.

    This is such a cozy little spot. Beautiful views. Cool staff. We came for happy hour right at 3 and the bar was already packed with regulars. We sat at a table and they let us still have happy hour, which was cool. We got the tortillas soup, and the albondigas. The soups are solid. Flavorful. Served really hot. No notes. Our server was super helpful and very attentive. They have good happy hour specials. We didn't get margs, but I imagine with so many, they have to be good. Parking is tough. Valet only. Or find a spot on the PCH. Casual. Fun. Festive. Lots of locals. A great little gem.

    Four stars for the comfortable vibe and great view. Salsa is super good, chips could use salt though. Food is okay, not fantastic but not bad either. Tasted a little bland, could be me, but isn't that what Yelp is about...opinions? Service was good, female waitress was really nice, the gentleman we had was probably having an off day...other than that, I'd be back, would recommend.

    Dayyyym! I am so pleasantly surprised by my first visit here. It is straight up on pch. There is a view to die for. Having said that, it is comfy, beachy casual which I love. No frills family friendly vibes. Great news, there is valet parking! It's only 4 dollars. Very convenient and affordable. We sat on the semi open patio. We timed it perfectly for sunset! It was beautiful. For the food, the chips and salsa were fresh and delicious! They have happy hour everyday from 3-6. Only 8.50 for house margaritas. The food was discounted a few dollars too for happy hour. You can not beat the prices! The show stopper was the crispy shredded beef tacos. The meat was juicy, flavorful and like stew. I loved the shredded beef!!!! We also had beans, rice, salad and enchiladas. We all loved our food. The service was quick, friendly and attentive. We may become regulars.

    I used to come to Coyote Grill all the time after taking my kids to the beach. Although many years have passed, and my kids are full grown adults, Coyote Grill continues to be a great choice at the beach for a fantastic meal. I followed the reviews and got the fruit plate to share - which was so fresh and delicious! I had never been here for breakfast, and it did not disappoint. It was delicious! I got a carne asada tamale with eggs and it was fabulous! We had a 15 minute wait because we wanted to be out on the patio. Valet parking is a great deal and makes it stress free in not having to worry about parking. Service was fantastic. I can't wait to go back soon! The photo is the view from the patio.

    We enjoyed those calamari tacos and a cheese enchiladas. The service was very nice and very helpful. The view is amazing. The food looks wonderful, so colorful and displayed with full portions. I do believe if I were an East Coast person, the food would have tasted incredible. I think the food is bland and lacks flavor. It looks great, but doesn't have that passion or flare of a professional chef making it. It is just Okay.

    Coyote Grill is my favorite spot for birthdays, celebrations, Sunday brunch, or just a random Tuesday. Their patio is to die for and we always try to get a reservation for it, sometimes we even see whales :) Service is quick and their staff is happy to please. My parents love their breakfast as they have both Mexican and American options, but their dinner menu is fabulous too!

    This is such a casual cute restaurant with the best view on the patio. I made reservations and requested the patio specifically. Parking is valet $4 cash only. Service was fast & friendly. I got the chicken enchilada & the cheese enchilada, both great. Came with rice and beans. Also ordered a side of tortilla soup. Everything came out hot & was tasty. Would recommend this spot to anyone!

    If you want to have the best margarita and service in town come to Coyote Grill! Mark makes a mean margarita that's sure to impress. A local gathering spot with spectacular ocean views and great atmosphere. Epic happy hour and delicious food. You will not be disappointed. Cheers!

    Seated right away on a Friday mid morning. Nice little place. I live in Tucson, one of my fav dishes is chilaquiles - decided to give it a try and not my favorite. Sauce tasted canned. My husband ordered the Beef Machaca, which was ok. Hard to compare when we've had the best. Michelada's were mixed just right, not overly tomato flavor.

    Pitcher of skinny margs was so good. Also their guac was very fresh and I'm still thinking about those calamari tacos! So good!

    Wow! Came in with my finance for Taco Tuesday Happy Hour. Great drink specials with premium tequila. The Coyote Taco is amazing, no wonder it's rated the best in OC. Stephen was great at recommendations and service. We will be back Thank you Stephen, you made our night!

    Any Taco Tuesday specials?

    When will you start offering lobster?

    Hello Katy! Generally for us it would be the first or second Wednesday in October. Once we hear from our fisherman, we'll have a better idea. FYI, once it does become available you could call us in advance and reserve them!

    Is there parking available?

    We have a $2 cash only valet lot provided by a separate company. Everything else is street parking!

    Is there valet parking?

    I have seen valet parking available, but not used it. We park up the street and walk.

    Do they have Puerto Nuevo style lobster?

I came here with a friend and we just happened to be there during happy hour. $7 for 2 fish tacos and chips! That's a great happy hour deal! My friend had the chili verde wet burrito and kept interrupting our conversation to comment on how good the burrito was! We also ordered the cinnamon chips and they are excellent. The staff is super nice. The restaurant is order-at-the-counter and seat yourself style. They give you a number. And bring your food to you. There is both seating downstairs and upstairs on a patio deck with a limited ocean view. The patio is charming with market lights and shade.

Staff were friendly and service was quick ~10 minutes for food to come out. You order at their counter and they'll bring the food out to wherever you sit. There's a good selection of drinks inside the fridges from Mexican sodas to beers. Would love to see some aguas frescas in the future though! Got the La Calle Taco Combe with steak ($13.99). The tacos were packed! The meat had a great balance of flavor with char. The beans were so smooth--it was delicious. And of course the rice and chips completed the meal. No leftovers from me. Highly recommend and will have to be back to try the crispy chicken tacos.

Went with the Jamaican jerk chicken taco (most reviewed item on Yelp) and honestly, one was enough because it hit the spot. Super tasty, full of flavor, and everything tasted fresh. No shortcuts here. It comes with a side of chips and that combo was all I needed. Also worth mentioning, this place is on a corner and actually has a few parking spots for customers. That alone deserves appreciation in downtown Laguna Beach where parking is usually a competitive sport. Quick stop, great flavor, left happy. Would absolutely do it again.

Approached the restaurant and realized it's not a sit down style restaurant. There is outdoor "patio" like seating. Fridays they close at 7pm. The staff member that took our order was thorough in ensuring we ordered all we wanted because the kitchen was closing soon. The menu theme is Jamaican, I guess it's Jamaican x Mexican fusion? Ordered an array of 7 tacos to try. Al pastor & shrimp = best flavor Plantains were just okay. I do have a bias because I'm Central American and these are a must at Grandma's house.
