San Diego has tons of great Mexican restaurants to choose from but when I was out there visiting some friends, they brought me to Cafe Coyote in Old Town. Old Town is considered the birthplace of California because it is the site of the first permanent Spanish settlement.
Naturally you can’t have Mexican food without enjoying a house made margarita – and not a small one. At Cafe Coyote they make them huge! It tasted wonderful with the homemade tortilla chips and fresh salsa.
We sat outside on the patio so we could enjoy the sunny San Diego weather. We also had built in entertainment as we watched the ladies make homemade tortillas right there on the sidewalk. It was perfect for passer-bys who just wanted a quick snack instead of coming into the restaurant. The tortillas were so light and yummy that I ended up eating so many I didn’t need to order an entree.
Visiting Old Town is a must for all of it’s rich history and you will definitely work up an appetite walking around so make sure to stop by Cafe Coyote. Checkout their website at: www.cafecoyoteoldtown.com
Enjoy!
