I've been debating whether I should post this review or just keep this amazing experience to myself. But after meeting the owner and the incredible staff, it just wouldn't be fair to keep it close to my chest! This is, without a doubt, the BEST Mexican cuisine I've experienced since Los Chiludos. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere, hospitality, and genuine passion for the food were obvious. Our server was absolutely fantastic--full of energy, attentive, friendly, and on top of every detail. That kind of service makes an already great meal even better. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! The Gorditos were amazing! The Carnitas were spot-on, with those perfect crispy edges. The Chorizo had just the right amount of char and spice. And the Pastor...WOW! Tender, flavorful, and finished with just a little tease of pineapple that brought everything together perfectly. Then there was the ChoriAzado Chicken--a delicious journey of spice, tender chicken, and melted cheese. Every bite was better than the last. And the margaritas? Do I really need to say anything? Nope. Just one word: REFRESHING! Great food, amazing people, incredible service, and an experience that left us already planning our next visit. We WILL be back!!! read more

Santo Coyote is a local Mexican restaurant. Menu items include appetizers (e.g., nachos and elote street corn), entrees (e.g., tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, burritos, and specials such as carne asada and baja shrimp), desserts (e.g., flan and fried ice cream), and drinks (e.g., Jarritos, horchata, and alcohol). My husband and I ate one dinner here. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, and the employees quickly and courteously served us. We ate the tortilla chips and salsa (4.5 stars, fresh and refilled), queso dip (5 stars, so cheesy, delicious, and a bit spicy), guacamole dip (4.5 stars), pollo quesadilla (4.5 stars), and combo fajita (4.5 stars, steak, chicken, and vegetables, my husband's description was "good", which is a huge compliment from him, and he liked the sides of rice and beans). The total price for our meal was $53 plus tax, a 3% credit-card surcharge, and a tip. read more

I never knew this place existed, and I'm glad I do now! I was with my daughter, who didn't want to sit much, so no picture. My Frieda Khalo Medley was excellent. So many veggies, lots of chicken and rice. The cheese sauce was delicious. The kids meal chicken taco was perfect and flavorful for my daughter. I will be back! read more

Great authentic, mexican food. came in for the first time and loved everything- super friendly atmosphere and great food!

A nice Mexican option in the old Sir Pizza location. They have indoor seating as well as a nice patio, which was remarkably cool since it benefits from shade from the building. We were complimentary chips and salsa, and these chips were leaned towards gourmet. I got the Sonora Carne Asada. You know you're at a great place when just the rice and beans taste wonderful. The first bite of the steak put me over the moon - it was really flavorful and delicious. It came with a stack of warm tortillas. We tried a chicken tamale. This was done a bit differently than I'd expect. It was not in a corn husk and was slathered in maybe queso. The chicken inside was far too dry and this was just not comparable to the other dishes. Wouldn't order again. They added a credit card surcharge and I didn't see that disclosed anywhere. This left a bad taste taste for me. I would rather these folks build in all the fees they experience into their pricing. When I see such tacked on fees, I am less likely to return. Service was good and attentive, but we went in between lunch and dinner times so it was not busy. read more

Love this New Mexican spot in gibsonia! Located in treesdale, this restaurant is super cute and conveniently located near pine Richland high school. They have a great bar area with TVs to watch sports etc and also a decent size dining room and outdoor patio. We've been here a few times and the owner and staff are great. But on to what really matters - the food and drinks are fantastic! It's quickly become one of our favorites in the area. They have all the typical offerings and a great variety of drinks (and margarita flavors!). Their salsa is always great. We really like their chicken dishes, and they even have discounted lunch prices which is great (even on a Saturday). Be sure to check it out! read more

The food was delicious! Amazing chips, queso and guacamole. The food menu wasn't as huge as some restaurants- but what we had (the fajitas') were soooooo good. And the service was honestly the very best I've had in a long time. We'll go back just for that. read more

Santo Coyote - Frida Kahlo -- delicious l!! - Mexican Near Me - Gibsonia, Pennsylvania

Tucked away in a small business complex, this Mexican place is worth the trip! All of the food tasted fresh and flavorful. They bring chips and salsa to the table when you are seated. The skinny margarita was refreshing. The guac was smooth with chunks of tomatoes. Veggies for the fajita were grilled well and had a lot of great flavor. We had to get the fried ice cream which didn't disappoint with a nice crispy shell around the ice cream served in a fried sweet tortilla bowl. I will definitely go back! read more

Great Tex mex food and right next door!! Never had a bad dish here. Great service tad slow but friendly and knowledgeable. Love it!!

Food is incredibly good! Wait staff very attentive. A bit loud inside but will be back!

Really good Mexican food. Had the steak fajitas for lunch and they were pretty good but the steak is a little tough and probably could use a different cut. She had the huevos rancheros and said it was really good but could have had the tortilla chips or crispy tortilla underneath. Chips and sauce were pretty good and will be back to try something else. I was really looking forward to a chile relleno but they didn't have it on the menu read more

Great food and service. Best Mexican north of the city. Highly recommend the Texas fajitas

The food was great. I had the shrimp, chicken steak quesadillas. My friend had the Mahi Mahi tacos. We both loved our dinners and the salsa. We also had a margarita. Mine was a little sour but very tasty and her jalapeño one was very good. My server was very attentive and made great suggestions for us too. The only downside was the drunk man behind me who dumped a margarita behind me. When I got home, I had Strawberry margarita down my pants, sweater and jacket. But excited to go back again when the outside seating is open. read more

My wife and I are so blessed to have this restaurant so close to home. The service is top notch. We've never had a bad experience. We know the owner from when they opened and he is a hardest working and kindest person we know. He really cares about the restaurant. The place is so clean too and the way it's laid out makes it seem like a very high end Mexican restaurant. They also have outdoor seating. And then of course the food. Wow, we've never had anything that wasn't excellent. We will be back many many times! This is a must try. read more

We loved Santo Coyote. Solid 4.5 but I'll round up to a 5. They are still new so the menu was somewhat limited (which was a bummer since the website had a menu posted with many more options) -- the only entree options were fajitas and quesadillas (for dinner). The lunch menu seems to be a little more extensive. We got the queso with chorizo as an appetizer which came with warm tortillas. We also ordered the fajitas with chorizo, steak and chicken. Both were excellent. We ordered 2 house margaritas which were priced well but didn't really seem to have much alcohol and more on the sweeter side. The free chips and salsa were great and the salsa was very tasty. Our service was excellent- our server was hustling and making sure to pay attention to us even though we were sitting at the bar. The ambiance was good but the restaurant was a bit loud. The chairs were comfortable and all had backs which is a plus. Overall very happy and we will definitely return hopefully when they have an expanded dinner menu. read more

Newly opened traditional neighborhood Mexican restaurant. We went their second weekend opened for dinner and really enjoyed everything about it. They did a great job livening up the atmosphere with paint, decor, and perfect volume music. The spicy skinny margarita pitcher was spectacular (ask for a little extra lime juice if you don't love "sweet" drinks) and food was fantastic. The Mexican classics were well done and great portions. Pivé (sp?) and his family/staff were so gracious and obviously invested in us enjoying the experience. You may need to have a little patience on busy evenings while they work out the new restaurant kinks but this place is awesome. read more
