All of the Food was amazing ! I got the crab/fish ceviche!! Must have was the stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon, to die for. And their green chicken enchiladas yum. Everything we ordered was delicious and their happy hour is a great deal.

Excellent spot good California Mexican food. Started the guacamole. We had a choice of creamy or chunky guac. The chunky was excellent, it was simple and good. You could taste the hint of lime. Our server was good and she recommended the calamari tacos. I ordered the fish tacos as I had a craving for good fish tacos. The tacos did not disappoint, good flavor and cooked very well. My friend when with the tacos trio. One of those were calamari and he said they were good enough that he would only order that next time. The margaritas were very good and you could tell they were freshly made.

We love Coyote Grill! It's my favorite spot for birthdays, drinks, or just a casual dinner with an ocean view. We got the steak burrito and a 2 taco plate (carnitas and shredded beef). Both were phenomenal! The chips were crispy and perfect with the salsa. The service was quick and we were seated almost immediately. 1 tip! Get a reservation if you want to sit on the patio! You won't regret it!

Well im so glad i was exhausted and hungry after work, i just stumbled upon possibly my new favorite happy hour! I ordered the street taco trio carnitas and fish. The chips and pico are really good! Great spot for a casual date. Valet is $4 and the public lot a few steps south of the restaurant is free. Bring your squad... There's a wildly dangerous menu of very delicious margaritas featuring pitchers... Definitely coming back.

Love it here! Little hole in the wall, local type place. Has a cute patio with heaters. It's a pretty classic Mexican menu focused more on seafood. Highly recommend the spicy salsa. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. Happy hours have amazing food and cocktail options! The parking is valet for $4 (plus tip).

One of our favorite restaurants in Laguna! Wait is never too long even when it's super busy, valet is inexpensive and makes it super easy. The patio is the best with amazing view and the service is always top notch. I always order the shrimp tacos and they are definitely some of the best ones I've ever had. We love the salsa and ordering calamari. My fiancé likes the chicken burrito and honestly everything that they make is so delicious. I wish we lived closer because their happy hour is amazing as well, and can't forget to mention their house margarita is delicious and strong.

We made a reservation for their Baja Style Lobster which only comes around once a year. We ordered a lobster with the trimmings; it was cooked perfectly and the extras (beans, rice, tortillas, butter, cilantro, onions) were fresh. The restaurant is small and in desperate need of updating; especially their back area! The service was excellent; our server was courteous, helpful and quick. We started with a margarita and an order of guacamole and chips. All in all, the food was good! The shocker was the price of the lobster!!! $110 for a small spiny lobster is CRAZY expensive; we can say we tried it but we wouldn't do it again!

We stopped in at Coyote Grill while in Laguna looking for a breakfast spot with a view of the ocean. They have a covered patio that gave us that view and ambience we were looking for on a casual weekday morning. They have valet parking for $4 and I believe it's cash only. It made parking very convenient. The service was friendly and prompt. I always test out a new spot by trying their eggs benedict. It was pretty good but there wasn't anything extra wow or different from other local cafes... I did wish that their salsa was a bit spicy. The salsa instead was more of a tomato pico de gallo...
