CAFE COYOTE REVIEWS

Seriously delicious food with thoughtful and impeccable service. Aidé made our experience amazing for us traveling parents with a toddler! She made excellent recommendations on our margarita (We got the “perfect for two”) and meals (Carnitas plate was drool worthy!). The food came out incredibly fast, and we ended with a warm churro far better than Disney! Thank you so much to the awesome staff at Cafe Coyote for a wonderful time. Would recommend to anyone visiting San Diego.

Everything was great. Good food. Good tortillas, although a little too floury. The Chiles Rellenos were amazing. I asked for a spicy salsa, and sadly, I was told there was none. To me, the rice tasted a bit like boxed rice. Drinks were good, and the ambiance was nice with live music.

Delicious and authentic! We were a big group and they were very attentive and friendly. Right in the heart of old town near all the cute stores and farmers market. Recommend.

OLD TOWN MEXICAN CAFE REVIEWS

The mariscada changed from the picture I sent my boyfriend so we were expecting not as crazy spicy with the red sauce and had the purple onions . Glad they have other yummy food and I took videos. The flan was okay. I prefer none of the chocolate syrup since it changed the flavor. Texture was good though.

Very authentic Mexican food. We didn't have to wait coming in but there were lots of people waiting for a table as we were leaving. Food was very good. Prices were reasonable. Quick polite service. They make their own tortillas. Would definitely come again. Located in old Town but there was a lot of free parking after 5.

The atmosphere was good because I was with my beautiful wife and daughter enjoying our San Diego vacation. Service is on point. Food is authentic, especially the handmade/homemade flour tortillas.

CASA GUADALAJARA REVIEWS

We loved the food here. It was fast, fresh and absolutely delicious. The flavours were well balanced and the plates were so well presented that we wanted more. I loved the horchata. We sat in the bar area and there was a playful vibe. The interior decoration was beautiful.

We ordered a Mango juice, Guava juice, Chips and Guac! And for main course we ordered vegetarian Enchiladas and No fish tacos! Loved the no fish Tacos! And Guac was awesome! They served a scoop of ice cream, 2 churros topped with caramel, with a candle for my husbands birthday (as a small surprise)! Would go here again.

The best Mexican we have had in San Diego! The food is delicious, the portions are large, and the atmosphere is fun. They have a large outdoor patio with its own entrance from the parking lot. Complimentary chips and salsa, and a large, free parking lot! This place is awesome!.
