Came here for brunch a couple of times and our big party is always seated immediately. Service is courteous, as well as quick! Food is great. Sweet and simple! I ordered the Eggs Benedict with the hollandaise side on the sauce and of course a side of sliced avocado. Everything was delicious and the portions are huge; big enough to share! My favorite part are their pancakes. They are cooked to perfection. The texture, the consistency, the flavor, and the ratio of soft to crispy = perfect! Will come back to this place whenever I'm in the area. read more

I have come to Coyote Cafe many times for dinner with my friend and his parents and it's always great. Service is impeccable and the food tastes very homemade and always comes out Hot! This morning I had breakfast here for the first time and for someone like me who craves eggs benedict this is the perfect spot because they have SIX different versions. I ordered the one that has, diced chicken breast, mushrooms, tomatoes, and poached eggs with hollandaise all over the top. Soooo good! My sister got the breakfast sandwich with a side of chocolate chip pancakes and she said it was also amazing. I highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

This place is a gem ! The service is always friendly and welcoming. The food is tasty and the portions of food are big and filling. The coffee tastes great. This has become my Go To place for the weekend ! read more

One of my favorite local spots here in Vista. The staff is really friendly and the food is always on point. I'm a big fan of the turkey club with Avocado, it's a decent price and there is always a little left over to take home. The only down side is they close a little early in the evening but that is never a deterrent for me to come here. Stop by and give them a try and you won't be sorry. read more

Great little diner-type restaurant in a small shopping center. I go here every time I visit my fam-damily in Vista, and it never disappoints. Service is always friendly and quick. The food is pretty standard diner fare, but most everything is tasty and they have AMAZING french fries. I've been here for b-fast and lunch, both times fantastic! Great local spot- hit it up! read more

This place is a step above a typical "cafe". Lovely decor, clean and classy. It has an extensive menu, so anyone's sure to find lots of choices, especially with breakfast offered all day :) I finally settled on the chicken salad sandwich, and my two friends had a tuna salad sandwich and a burger. The chicken salad in mine had finely ground meat and not many crunchy vegetables... very similar to the type my grandmother used to make. We all agreed that our food was yummy and that the server was friendly and attentive. I'd love to visit this cafe again next time I'm in the area to try some breakfast. read more

I'm baaaack!!! Having dinner this time and it is yummy!!! My grilled chicken Ortega sandwich was delicious and the fries were crispy and hot. My friend ordered a chili burger, her description was that it was tasty but the chili overwhelmed the burger. We also ordered dessert, coconut cream pie and that was a total success!!! Their down home service is outstanding and they make you feel right at home. I will definitely be a regular. read more

We decided to give Coyote Café a try for dinner on a Saturday. The wife did not want to get dressed up and wanted a more casual place. We had heard good things from friends about Coyote Café so we went around 6pm on a Saturday. They had a good crowd but no problem finding a table/booth. We got the pork cutlet and spicy chicken pasta. They were both very good. True comfort food. Both came with salad, bread and a pudding dessert of your choice. So much food we both took half of it home for another meal during the week. Nice to have another dinner choice in Vista. read more

My favorite: Greek Salad and Friend Chicken! Best of the Best. Come in you'll never regret it. The menu gives you great choices, it's doesn't matter what you choose, it's All Good! I live in Los Angeles County but it's worth the DRIVE! read more

Coyote Cafe - Comfort Food Near Me - Vista, California

Do we were having a family day. And were looking for new places, since we just moved. Of course we used yelp to find this place. Reviews seamed really quite good. And a late breakfast on Sunday is almost impossible to do. But we were seated pretty quickly. It was busy. Menu had lots of options. Kids ordered pancakes and eggs. Both ate all. I ordered the coconut and banana waffle and added eggs and bacon. Eggs were a bit over cooked. But the rest was very yummy. My husband had the most complaints. Which were: there was no butter on his toast, omelet was dry, hash browns weren't cooked enough. ( honestly he could have just woken up on the wrong side of the bed) I'm sure we will be back. Since church is around the corner. read more

Wasn't that great. Waiting way too long to be seated and for food to arrive. Food was mediocre. My food came out burnt and bland. Our waitress was also just like the food, was not very nice or friendly. Kinda bland. Very sad because I've been coming here since I was young and it seems to be getting worse every visit :/ read more

Have eaten here several times in the past. Food and service is always above average. Went here last night with my Son and Grandson. I had the fish and chips which came with coleslaw. The fish was great, nice and crisp and flavorful. The fries were very good, not greasy at all. The slaw is where they missed the mark in my opinion. Was very dry to the point that it was like eating shredded cabbage raw. My Son had the abc burger and could not stop talking about how great it was. He also loved the fries. My Grandson had the 8 oz. Sirloin steak dinner. The steak was spot on and so were the fries. His only complaint was, and I agreed, the veggies were super watery. Holding that five star for the slaw and veggies. Fix those and it's a five star all day long. read more

I was sad when trying this place, since it's been recommended a couple times I thought it'd be good and was disappointed. Nothing tasted seasoned everything was bland and after giving it 3 chances, I won't be back. The only reason it has 2 stars instead of 1 is because the wait staff was great all 3 times. read more

My family occasionally goes to Coyote for a casual meal and we always get good food. I like the sandwiches, especially the grilled mahi sandwich, but really everything from the breakfasts to the burgers to the pasta is always well prepared and delicious. The only thing there I don't like are the milk shakes but my kids would strongly disagree with that. Service is usually great. read more

Great service by all the lady's there. I haven't been in a while because of a budget but every time I go they are friendly and fast. The owner does a GREAT job at keeping up with the maintainer with the place. GREAT and tasty food. read more

Coyote Cafe - Garden Salad - Comfort Food Near Me - Vista, California

I've only been here twice-both times for breakfast and it was sooo good. I am pretty picky about my breakfast and I must say they do an excellent job. There is usually a lil bit of a wait, but it's worth it. I recommend the Vista Omelette read more

I had their chicken fried steak. My husband ordered eggs benedict both had hashbrowns. We also shared a biscuit with the sausage gravy. The biscuit was flaky but not dry which was wonderful, gravy needed more flavor but decent. Benes were nice but the egg was overdone, I didn't like my chicken fried steak much. Hasbrowns were done perfectly crispy on the outside and buttery moist potatoes on the inside. Service made the difference between 3/4 stars plus their coffee was really good. We moved to Vista last summer and this is our first time here...we think of coming back. read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Stopped in here with my family and Alexis and Alex were amazing from the moment we sat down. We are long time vista locals and this place will always be a favorite. It gets crowded on the weekends but it is worth the wait! read more

Definitely a hidden gem, amazing food & amazing service. Lynn was also a great server (she had about 6-7 tables besides us as well). We will definitely coming back! Thanks! read more

Coyote Cafe - Eggs Benedict & the oatmeal sundae - Comfort Food Near Me - Vista, California

Been coming here for nearly 25 years. It is one of my regular go to places. The staff is like family! After only a few visits they will know what you like, what you don't like, and how you like your food served. I've watched some of the employees grow from children to mothers with children, from young women to part owners. The food here is elevated dining style. From biscuits and gravy to ribeye steak. Their menu is diverse and eclectic. You can get your grandma's grilled cheese sandwich right next to a sophisticated Mediterranean salad. The coffee is good, the soups are absolutely to die for, and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. I've been going here for many years of my life and will continue to go here until those your stop, (or they decide to close down because they need to move to a bigger location). If you want to warm family environment and great food Coyote Café is your place read more

I recently had breakfast here with a friend. We both enjoyed the food. I had veggie omelette, yummy. Portions are huge and prices are good. read more

Five stars for the pecan pie alone!! The absolute BEST pecan pie I've ever had. It's not too sweet, & that buttery flaky crust. Warm, cold, with whipped cream, or a la mode.. Amazing!! I just ordered 2 for Thanksgiving. read more

Stopped by because we were somewhat in this area and relied on yelp reviews (my fault for not validating who wrote it, should have stuck to frequent reviewers and not those with only a few reviews). Here's what we ordered: 1. CA. Omelet--ok...best dish out of everything we ordered 2. Huevos Rancheros-- no bueno. It simply doesn't taste "fresh," but rather "processed (canned beans, canned jalapeños) only thing fresh was avocados. Good avos. :) 3. French Toast-- no syrup with it and our critic said it wasn't sweet. Keep I'm mind she typically can't stand too much sweets! 4. Waffle w/blueberries-- ok. 5. Hot chocolate--looks pretty with whip cream and chocolate syrup on top, but way too sweet! Waitress was nice but very busy (they were all multi-tasking). Needless to say, we didn't get that much attention. Not their fault though and they were nice. Total bill: $45 with tip. I expected a little more for what we paid for breakfast...especially given that it's inland in Vista. I think we will go back to coastal next time! Although I only ate 1/5 of my food (at best), still feel the need to go back to steamed veggies and detox a bit! My tolerance for grease is getting lower... read more

Coyote Cafe - My favorite omelette is the Sunshine one. no meat, but delicious avocado. - Comfort Food Near Me - Vista, California

I never write reviews but let me tell ya I was in a good mood after going to Sunday service and went here for brunch with my sister and a friend. The food was just okay, didn't complain even though my food was cold after I got it. No matter how nice we were to these ... girls Service was still very poor everything seemed to be such a chore for the two waitress that came by to check on us. I paid for our meal with my credit card and went home. A few hours later I went home and got notified about a 80$ purchase from some one trying to order something online. I honestly do believe it was one of the waitresses with how they were acting. Has anyone else had this happen to them. ? read more

One of my favorite restaurant in here in Vista. The owner is friendly and the food is great. I'm a big fan of Steak. it's a decent price and there is always a little left over to take home. Try this place, you won't regret. read more

Good food. I got the chili cheese omelette with hash browns. Both were great. I like that you can choose between different toasts, raisin bread or a pancake with your meal. My son had the waffle which was nice and flavorful so much that he ate it without syrup. Knock off a star for service which was lacking. Waitress barely came around to refil drinks and they only give you 2 little packs of jam for the toast - grape and orange marmalade. Those are my 2 least favorite jellies and I need at least 4 packs for 2 slices of bread:) I don't blame the waiter for that but it's something they can improve on read more

Jackie is AMAZING!!! Best waitress and manager and always treats my FAMILY LIKE ROYALTY. Great food - huge portions - homestyle cooking. Yum yum yum. Found this place bc of yelp and have brought everyone I know here!! :) read more

Foods always good, service us good, omelettes are yummy, turkey club is amazing and huge....but..bring back the steak fries!!!!!!!!

This place ranks in the top 5 place for me. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is comfy and great. Our waiter was close to perfect and she really took good care of us and was consistently refilling our drinks. We ordered burgers, fried steak, and fried chicken. The selection of food covers every taste and the seasoning is on point. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a home cooked meal and great time! read more

Coyote Cafe - This place is AMAZING! The food is off the hook and the service is close to perfect. - Comfort Food Near Me - Vista, California

Best classic diner comfort food in North County! Love the Lunch combo chicken salad, side salad and slice of pie.

I have visited this place plenty of times for breakfast! Food is always delicious and has been consistent every time. Portions are large and breakfast is served all day. It has became our go to breakfast spot when in town. Only took a star off because depending on the waitress service can be slow (suprisingly slower when they're less customers we noticed). read more
