I consider my self somewhat of an expert in the field of good Mexican food and I feel fairly confident that Cafe Coyote is the best there is. Located in Old Town San Diego, Cafe Coyote has been thriving for every 25 years. You don't stick around that long unless you have something special.

You really cant go wrong with anything on the menu but I'll give you my suggestions anyway. Their chili verde is the best ever! You can't go wrong choosing that. If you want more of a variety you are looking for the Tres Puercos. It has chili verde, carnitas and chili colorado. Their carnitas would be my second favorite and their carnitas plate is heaping with good stuff. All of the above served with those amazing fresh tortillas. My daughter got the shrimp burrito and it was family sized. It smelled good but I didn't get a taste. She said that it was very good but she likes chicken nuggets too so you can take that how you wish. My son got a hamburger. The best Mexican restaurant ever and he chooses a hamburger. There are no words...
Shrimp Burrito- Its as big as a baby. |
Hamburger...At Cafe Coyote?!?! |
If you are wondering how you will every try everything you want to try here then I have great news for you. They are open daily from 7 am to 10 pm. Yes friends, you can start your day with Mexican food, have it again for lunch and then chase it down with Mexican for dinner. For breakfast the first day I had the chilaquiles. That is corn tortillas smothered in tomatillo sauce and served with eggs and cheese. It was good but on the second day I made it magical. (Yes the second day we ate here too) I asked them to top the chilaquiles with chili verde and it is now my new favorite. It is like nachos, chili verde and yum all in one perfect piping hot skillet. They don't have chili verde on their breakfast menu but I asked and they were happy to make it happen. So good!
Lets be real here. You are not going to lose weight eating here every day but you will be happy. Unless you are one of those people who don't love Mexican food. Then I guess I am sorry. There are restaurants in Old Town that serve things besides Mexican food, they just aren't the best restaurant in all of Old Town.
Where is the one restaurant you love that we should visit on our travels?
Happy trails and good eats.
