    brisket and homemade tortillas
    Jennifer F.

    4.5 stars; definitely worth trying- brisket is real good with lots of flavor, tender and legit Texas style. Homemade corn tortillas, everything is made in house and Food is family style portions. (for two people we ordered 1/2 pound brisket, sausage and cowboy beans) Used the online waitlist as this place fills up quickly. Great atmosphere and very lively.

    This was a fun evening out with a couple of friends. Tapas anyone? This is all served family style and meant to share. The outside doesn't look impressive but the inside is warm and cozy. Our server Chris was spot on throughout the entire evening. So here is my issue 4 people 2 drinks each and a 300.00 bill. The food was good but not 300.00 good and portions honestly just not worth the price. However most would disagree as our friends this was their umpteenth time ( she can't have gluten) so this restaurant is a great option and the line outside waiting to get in was packed when we left. So outside of value I can't knock it.

    I Ubered to St Elmo Ave. to try a different restaurant down and the road and they were closed for a private event so I caught my Uber driver before he pulled out and he was nice enough to drive me to the Little Coyote and I'm so glad he did! What a unique and diverse menu. They have tapas and entrees. Ryan was my bartender. When I first sat down he noticed I had a phone charging block so he informed me that an outlet with a USB port was directly in front of my seat under the bar along with a coat hook. For a drink I ordered a Paloma. I ordered 2 versions of the same meal; stuffed avocado with carnitas and a second serving with brisket. I also ordered what turned out to a LARGE bowl of mantequilla refried beans. Both tapas meals were served with bottomless small corn tortillas, red smoky sauce, queso and pickles. Outstanding! It was fun to mix and match the different sauces with with the meats and avocado. I ordered each of my tapas meals separately and when the brisket arrived they provided a new plate of at least a dozen small hot corn tortillas. Great meal that, based on the number of Yelp reviews, many in Chattanooga have yet to discover. Cats out of the bag now. Enjoy!

    Sipping tequila, squash ice cream and Core Memory cocktail.

    We walked in early on a Friday to sit on the sun deck on a beautiful day. Kayla was our server and offered to curate our meal. Of course, we said yes! She asked us a few questions and got started. She did an amazing job selecting the drinks, tastes and pace of the meal. First drinks were a Margarita and a Frozen and Famous. Excellent starting choices; light and refreshing. First food dish was mussels in a yummy wine butter herbed sauce w sides of salsa, aioli, pickled squash and tortillas. Next drinks were Palomas with different tequilas. That was fun to taste the impact of different agave types. The associate who delivered the drinks gave us the background of the tequilas. These folks know their spirits. Last round of food was the brisket, heirloom tomato salad and a side of roasted acorn squash. Everything balanced within and across. Brisket was ridiculously tender, smoky and seasoned just right. Mmmm. We ended with two more cocktails, Core Memory and a sipping tequila w orange slices, house made tajin and salt. They even brought out the tequila bottle and gave us some background. These were paired with the Autumn Squash ice cream w candied thyme. Sounds strange but it was delicious. Tasted like fall. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it an experience? Yes. Was it delicious? Oh yes. If you are a foodie - I highly recommend.

    My new favorite restaurant in Chatt! We came for lunch with our friends who live in town and we were quickly obsessed! Everything we ordered was so fresh and delicious and we loved the shared plates style so we could try lots of items. My favorites were the stuffed avocado and the brisket migas! Wish I'd gotten pics of everything we ordered bc it all came out beautiful. Our server was kind and helpful and the restaurant itself was lovely. Definitely coming back next time we're in town!

I ended up going with the taco flight and selected two Crown Jewel tacos -- the truffle mac and cheese with lobster -- along with one Island Banger, featuring coconut shrimp and mango salsa. Every single taco was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, layered, and genuinely exciting. What really sets them apart is their signature double-tortilla approach: a fried hard shell tucked inside a soft tortilla. It creates the perfect contrast of crunch and softness in every bite and holds up incredibly well to the generous fillings. Between the inventive combinations, fun menu, and the unbelievable execution, this was a top-tier taco experience from start to finish.

I can't speak to the other wait staff, but our guy clearly had other things on his mind. Every part of our visit took way longer than it should have. We were done about 30 minutes before we ever managed to get our checks and pay. So, I'd make sure to pay for a couple of hours of parking. I'm going to attribute all that to this particular waiter, and judge the place on its other merits. The person you get might be quick and attentive. All in all, this place wasn't my cup of tea, to be charitable. The decor was pretty over the top. Young adult is obviously their demographic. I'm 65, so take that into account. Taste, of course is an individual thing. Therefore, I'm giving the food about a 7, the ambiance a 2, and hope I'm never served by our waiter again .

The bathrooms are always clean, which I appreciate. Paid street parking is usually easy to find, though during busy hours it can take a little more time. The veggie fajitas are an absolute treat and full of flavor. The guacamole is fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa is truly top notch. One of the most delightful surprises is that the churros are vegan, and they are unforgettable. The Papillón dish is especially meaningful. It can be made vegan and comes from the owner's grandmother's recipe in Guatemala. That personal touch really shines through and makes the menu feel inspired and unique. There used to be a young blonde male bartender who was hands down one of the best servers I have ever had. He was personable and somehow remembered both your order and your conversations even months later. That level of hospitality really stood out. Prices are not cheap, and the ingredients are not explicitly organic, but the quality, flavor, and thoughtful menu make it well worth it. Highly recommend if you are looking for consistently great food and a standout dining experience in Chattanooga.
