I always enjoy this place, but now since covid they have opened up a back little patio.. It's quaint and the food is as good as always.. My goto is the Sweet Corn Ravioli.. it's truly a unique and wonderful dish.. tonight I had the Chili Verde and it was really good, pork was tender and flavorful(Although I still prefer the ravioli) The GF had a combination plate with a Chili Relleno and a Vegetable Enchilada.. She says it was really good but the enchilada was Really Really good.. all veggies and tasty.. She also had a Spicy Skinny Margarita that she says was amazing... and it's hard to impress her.. Again soo good

Traditional Mexican food and more tequila choices than I will ever be able to drink! Absolutely love coyote cantina in Redondo Beach. it's a bit dark and art is a little funky but my son and my wife love the food as do I. Everything comes out super hot and fresh and it looks like all servers drop food, which at some restaurants doesn't happen and food gets cold. Did I mention Taco Tuesday? 1 dollar street tacos! I order about 12 and go into food coma. 5 stars for food quality and service!

Nice neighborhood restaurant, bordering on 'hole in the wall' - which is a good thing. Food is above average and priced right. Service is friendly and food comes out hot. Not a place to hang out at the bar. The bar area is too small and the only table seating is in the lobby. Can't fault them too much for that though, the overall space dictates that.

Had a fantastic time at Coyote Cantina! The drinks were just perfect - strong and delicious. The Steak Tidbits and Blackened Chicken Enchiladas were both standout dishes. Plus, Carl, the owner, was incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience even more special. A cozy spot I'd recommend to anyone

Fell on this place randomly on a work trip. It was taco Tuesday and happy hour when we went. Very friendly staff, good happy hour eats, the lager beer that was on tap / special was really good. It’s decent food at a decent price.

I absolutely adore this place!! It's a 30+ minute drive for me, but it's worth every ounce of stress. The service has been amazing every time I've ever been there, and as someone who did well over a decade and a half of customer service, I think the world of their staff. The prices aren't bad at all for location and quality, and their happy hour and taco Tuesday discounts are very nice, especially in comparison to all the other equivalent restaurants in the area! Their $1 taquitos are sublime and their margaritas... *Chef's kiss* they're basically my idea of the perfect margarita, perfectly smooth and strong as all get out (I'm not a lightweight at all, but 1 margarita had me moderately tipsy). They have great chips and all sorts of fun hot sauces to try, though if you're a spice lightweight you may want to be cautious of the table salsa. My only regret is that I can't eat more than a tiny bit of the salsa because my mouth starts burning almost immediately (though no one else in my friends group has the slightest issue with the spice level, so I'm probably an anomaly). I really love this place and would probably be there every other week if we lived closer to the location.
