Cafe Coyote: Bean There & Liked It
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I didn't do my research before Old Town, so it was a bit of a gamble trying to choose a place along the main drag. They all looked full, and of course, when you're in a touristy place, you never know if the places are all full because they're all good or because you're in a touristy place. So we just picked one, and it turned out to be good one.

    There is nothing intimate about Cafe Coyote on a weekend night. First off, with indoor and patio seating in a couple different buildings/areas, this place is huge. Margaritas topped every single table (except ours – I'm not drinking right now, and mom is a bit of a lightweight so usually abstains!). Mariachis were strumming and singing everywhere. And we got seated in the bar area, so there was sports TV all over the place too. Sensory overload! But we got into the spirit of it, somehow, though it probably would have been easier with the help of tequila.

    My mom was happy with her enchilada place, and my vegetarian plate with tamale, guacamole taco and chili relleno was very good, I must say. If you're gonna go for this option, though, I would advise going for the potato taco instead of the guacamole one. I love guac, but this was just too much.

    All in all, a good place for great food and a fun, festive ambience. As is mentioned in a couple of the other reviews here, the tortillas are housemade - hot, fresh and yummy.

    Cafe Coyote: Homemade Mexican food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Crowded restaurant serving excellent mexican food in the middle of Old Town. It has been a while since I last went there, but in addition to the original location, they have taken over the storefront next door and expanded the bar area.

    I recommend everything on the list from the homemade tortillas, to the carne asada to the margarita's and don't forget to see the "Tortilla Lady." On my next visit, I had the Beer Battered Fish Tacos (two soft corn tortillas filled with battered fish fillets deep fried & topped with cabbage, salsa fresca and their special jalapeño white sauce) along with Mexican-style rice and refried beans. To wash it down, I had a Blue Coyote Margarita (Gold Tequila served on the rocks with Blue Curacao and Sweet & Sour).

  • This nice lady in Old Town makes good tortillas. I also had good flavored tortillas on San Diego Avenue at Cafe Coyote a few blocks from Old Town.

    Cafe Coyote: Love the Margs!
  • Satisfaction:
  • Awesome. Just awesome. I love the restaurants in Old Town. There are quite a few good restaurants in Old Town. That might be why I like going there. If one restaurant is full, I know there's another good restaurant to go to. After waiting at Old Town Mexican Cafe a few months ago, I got tired of waiting and went over to Cafe Coyote. Boy am I glad I did!

    I arrived without a reservation on a busy Saturday night. Within 5 minutes I was seated. A very nice gentleman by the name of Dan/Danny? came by for my drink order. I gave him my drink order and told him I was ready to order my food. I ordered something called a Pollo Crema. Wow. It's chicken with some sort of white sauce on it. Very flavorful. Yum! I think I have a new favorite restaurant now!

    Pollo Crema. Lots of cause, moist chicken and spicy jalepenos.

    Cafe Coyote: Best Mexican in Old Town, San Diego!
  • Satisfaction:
  • I ate at a couple different Mexican restaurant in Old Town and Cafe Coyote was defiantly the BEST! I have had breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all were INCREDIBLE! I loved the Machaca Burrito and the French Toast was really good as well. The servers were friendly and helpful and I was seated right away every visit. The tortillas were being made fresh and were sold outside in the front to go. Definitely worth a visit!
