We came here during the Tulip Festival season but there was still plenty of room. Cute decor with comfortable, colorful booths. We tried the mole taquitos which were sweet and spicy - great depth. Also did the carne asada - meat was nicely charred without being overcooked, and loved the roasted jalepenos it came with. Free chips and salsa, which is increasingly rare. Margarita was a bit too sweet for my taste but I'm sure the could adjust it. Service was friendly and fast. read more

There was a group of eight of us. Absolutely wonderful food. Presentation was very nice . Great service. If you like Margaritas this is the place. Lots of different flavors to choose from. The food was delicious no complaints. We were here in the afternoon. 1 pm. read more

First time here. Greeted graciously, and served fresh chips and salsa. Ordered Chili Verde with whole beans and flour tortillas. Excellent food! Pork was lean and tender with an amazing sauce. Beans perfectly cooked and great tortillas. It's authentic Mexican food. Price was low for the quality - great value. Place is immaculate and cozy. I'll definitely return. I'd say a perfect late lunch. read more

Excellent food and service. Would go back often, parking was easily accessible. I would go there happily when visiting La Conner.

I wanted to love this place but my experience left me wanting. When I was planning my trip, I knew I wanted to have a Mexican meal in La Conner and there were only 2 Mexican restaurants there. I decided on this place based on reviews and it seemed more homely and not as modern as the other one. Maybe it was me arriving in a neither here nor there timing. Due to traffic conditions to La Conner, I was there around 330 pm for a super late lunch. There was only 1 other table occupied and there were 2 staff on duty. The first impression was the server did not seem like she wanted to be there. Then it took a while before she came over to get my order. I had to walk to the bar/kitchen area to catch the attention of a staff when I wanted my check and a to go box. When I left, nobody acknowledged it. Not sure if they even noticed it. So the service definitely could be better during the off peak hours. The food was mediocre. It was tasteless yet salty. I know, strange combination. I could only taste salt and none of the flavors of the food. Even the salsa for the chips was very mild tasting. I always like chile verde and I had it at another Mexican restaurant a few weeks before this in Bellingham, and that was pretty good. So it was quite disappointing to have this version. The portion was ok though the small scoop of guacamole and sour cream was quite pathetic. Overall, it was just not a pleasant experience here. I definitely will not be back. And the kicker was an extra $0.50 charge if you use card payment. read more

This place is amazing! Highly recommend if you are in the area. A local recommended this family own restaurant. We stopped by here after the tulips and we're not disappointed. The fajitas come with all the traditional accompaniments, including warm tortillas, fresh guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. However- the Santo fajitas come with Carne asada, prawns, chicken, spicy chorizo sausage with peppers and mushrooms. Each bite is a burst of flavor, with the ingredients blending. The key ingredient is the sauce they marinate the meats in. It is exceptional and unlike any other fajitas! This place offers a dining experience that is second to none, with great margaritas, table-side guacamole, and amazing fajitas that are sure to impress even the most discerning palate. Whether you're a fan of Mexican cuisine or simply looking for a delicious meal, this is one restaurant you won't want to miss. For a taste of Mexico that is truly exceptional, head to Santo Coyote and indulge in their great margaritas and amazing fajitas. Your taste buds will thank you! read more

Food was amazing! The staff was very friendly even though the restaurant was packed.Our new favorite go to for Mexican food!

This was a great find while visiting LaConner. The restaurant is very cute and festive. We were quickly greeted by friendly and professional staff. We ordered takeout - Veggie Fajitas and vegetarian Coyote Burrito with no cheese and no sour cream to make it vegan. The portions are huge but we managed to eat everything. The flavors were spot on with just enough spice to my husband's liking. If you are in the LaConner neighborhood for a weekend getaway, this is a must visit location. read more

Place is quite charming, and food was nicely prepared. We were delighted that they were still open at 8 on a Tuesday night. Menu is vast.

Great great Mexican food at a very affordable price! Lovely decor and super service. 2nd time here, we love this place! I had the chicken mole enchiladas. Fantastic read more

We came here for dinner tonight (we typically go to COA but found out it was closed on Sundays) it was our first time trying this spot. The server was great & it seemed she was covering the whole restaurant. We ordered drinks- my husband liked his margarita & I had a glass of cab. The chips and salsa were good. We then ordered - I got the shrimp fajitas & my husband ordered the special, which was crema enchiladas. My fajitas were fine- shrimp was cooked well but overall, it was nothing special. My husband's enchiladas hardly had any chicken & the chicken that was there was rubbery & not flavorful. The cream sauce was bland as well. Unfortunately, due to the food, we won't be back. read more

So yummy! Amazing authentic Mexican food! Friendly and quick staff! LOVE THIS PLACE! Unbeatable chips and salsa, their rice and beans are also the best in the valley! We've been coming here for years! read more

Post Covid there is not much open in La Conner on a Tuesday night! Santo spared me the hunger cravings but given the reviews I have to say I was expecting much more. Let me start and say the chips tasted like they were made with old oil. It was the first time I've been presented with chips and salsa and I could only eat one! The tacos were decent but the carne asada didn't have much flavor. The avocado salsa saved the day so I could get through them. I really don't like leaving a two star review but other than good service there isn't much I can recommend... read more

While the staff at Santo Coyote were delightful (especially our waitress), and the decor is beautiful, unfortunately the food we ordered was pretty mediocre. The table side guacamole was fresh, and once we added more salt, it was pretty good. However, the chicken dish we ordered was dry and incredibly bland. We were also disappointed to find that the restaurant doesn't make any of their own tortillas. Even the churros we ordered at the end of the meal were over cooked. So, while the family that owns this restaurant seems truly special, the actual eating experience was less than stellar (sadly). We definitely want to give this restaurant another try in the future, as other reviewers have obviously had much better experiences, and again, the staff and environment are wonderful. read more

Honestly, I'm puzzled about how this place manages to stay in business, especially with a Mexican eatery like COA nearby. COA's cuisine is significantly better, with larger portions. Santo Coyote's chimichanga, which was smaller and pricier, with a $2 upcharge for bland and basic cream sauce, doesn't even come close to to COA's chimichanga. The difference is wild. Additionally, COA's chips are much more delicious than those at Santo Coyote's. Overall, the only people who prefer santos cayote for their Mexican food in La Conner have not yet been to COA. . . . read more

Recommended to us by a cab driver in Anacortes. So glad we tried Santo Coyote. Very pretty and colorful inside, we were greeted quickly and shown our table. Great margaritas and food was really good. Quite reasonable prices as well. Our server was wonderful and told us her Mom does the cooking with her own recipes. This place is great, try them! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem at LaConnor! The food is delicious with unusual dishes like the fries covered in rich molè sauce sprinkled with cotija cheese. I had the chili verde and the chunks of pork were very well seasoned and coated in beautifully rich chili and pork juices. The portion sizes were huge and the lunch time prices were very reasonable. In Seattle, the quality of food and the portion size alone would have demanded an extra $5-10 per dish. To top off the lunch time dining experience, our server (Crystal) was warm, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the menu. If you are looking for gluten free options, this restaurant is the place. The tortilla soup was exceptional! read more

I cannot begin to explain the great customer service we received. During Covid-19 stay at home order, our anniversary plans were ruined. We booked a room for B&B and decided to get takout here. First, my expectations are high since I am Mexican. The woman greeted us so warmly and to our surprise, she eas taking orders, running back and cooking, and making drinks. We told her we were going to go eat at our car and she told us to give her a few minutes so she could set a table in the patio. It really made our day as we were able to have the feeling like we had a dine-in experience. It meant so much to us as it was the first time we really got to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Next, the food. My taquitos en mole were AMAZING. I could tell thwy actually make the rice sauce and not use a can sauce. The beans were very good and not overly cooked in the lard. The taquitos were perfectly crisp with nice juicy chicken and the perfect amount of mole. The mole was delicious mix of sweet and spicy. The carne asada meat was rhe good meat. Nice and juicy instead of the cheap meat other places use. The horchata was gooe. The Hibiscus margarita was my favorite. Be careful tjough, it creeps up on you ahaha. Thank you Santo Coyote for an amazing experience during stressful times. read more

Bad service, bad attitude. Came as a family of 5, including grandparents and a dog, so asked to sit outside. Observations: 1. Being it was early afternoon, we setup the umbrella to block the Sun. They then removed it. 2. Service was slow, we waited outside for at least 15mins and nobody brought over menus, etc. 3. Staff were generally rude in their tone, and it reflected in how they appreciated their customers. Eventually after not receiving service we just left, and went up the street to Coa, and it was a much better experience. read more

So glad we stopped on our way home! Excellent food and service. Carne asada was as good as that served in the border town I grew up in. Tortilla soup was old-school traditional and amazing. Do yourself a favor and leave room for dessert. The flan is not eggy. It was thick, creamy perfection. Look forward to coming back! read more

My husband and I tried this place for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was horrible from the get go. We weren't acknowledged for about 5 minutes. We stood in the entry waiting for someone to seat us. They looked at us, but no "hello" or "welcome!" When we finally got seated, I noticed the plants right next to us were covered in dust. A thick layer, never been cleaned. When we ordered our food, my husband made it very clear that he doesn't like tomatoes and asked that no tomatoes were on his order. When the food came... tomatoes. His food was Luke warm and the ground beef looked as if it had been colored. It had a weird pink/red color and consistency. I had the 3 tacos and could barely eat one... way too salty. It was the grossest Mexican food we had ever had. read more

I usually make it a point to eat at Santo Coyote when I visit la Conner, which is at least once a year. Looks can be be deceiving if you are making a snap judgement about the exterior, as it is not fancy, however, the interior is quite nice. The food has always been very good and plentiful, and the margaritas and micheladas more than quench your thirst. Personally, the location is ideal, as it is directly across the street from the Country Inn, which is where I always stay when in town. Overall, I have zero complaints about this establishment! read more

Wow. Wasn't expecting this. Tried to eat at a different place, but it was closed, so we headed into La Conner. Glad we did. Saw this place as we entered. Greeted quickly at the door, and sat with menus. Service was outstanding for only having two people working. It was a tad slow as there was a crowd, but small town slow and we had nowhere to be so why the rush? And the waitress was so polite and nice. Ordered food and enjoyed the salsa and chips. Got the Asada burrito. Most places, it's Usually light on the asada. This was packed full of tender, tasty, meat. Everything was outstanding. The beans and rice, the fillings, all of it. Others had the taco salad, and a taco enchilada combo. All excellent. Can't recommend this place enough. Can't wait to go back. read more

Went to see the tulips and our first stop was in La Conner. All the other restaurants had long lines so stopped here for lunch. During COVID times the indoor seating was well spaced out which is nice and the staff was very attentive. We were served with complimentary chips and salsa which I love. My fiance and I both got the combo which included rice and beans for $10 each. The food was made fresh and we both enjoyed it. The sauce wasn't too heavy and the refried beans didn't have that day old taste that some restaurants I have been to have had. Stop by if you are in La Conner. read more

This is my family's favorite Mexican restaurant! We've been visiting here for a couple years now, and all the staff are so warm, kind, and welcoming. Their food is delicious and they are very accommodating for dietary restrictions. I can't eat dairy or gluten, and every time I want to try a dish, they're able to add or subtract anything I want to make it fit my needs. They have everything on their menu from burritos to salads, and the quality of their ingredients is very high! If you're here, I highly recommend trying the guacamole. They make it fresh at your table and it is literally the BEST guacamole you will find. My family even asked them for the recipe at one point so we could make it at home on our taco nights. A must-try if you're in town! read more
