We have watched this building be transformed into a most amazing restaurant. The staff were willing to show us around and the service was impeccable. Everything that we ate was well prepared and delicious. As the evening progressed, the glowing lanterns gave it a lovely ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We enjoyed the morning buffet here and loved the outdoor seating and good service. We spend 2-3 hours here catching up with good friends in Guadalajara and every so often going back to try another small plate of food from the many stations. If doing buffet, come with an empty stomach! Upstairs you can also explore an incredible collection of tequila. There are both options to purchase and others to just enjoy looking at as they are relics from the 1900s! read more

This is one of those places in the GDL that I always try to visit at least once when I'm in town. They offer a great selection of dinner options, from land and sea, and I've never had anything at dinner that I wouldn't order again. And the tableside preparation of salsa and guac is a show in and of itself. But I'm here to talk about the breakfast buffet: OMG! It's amazing. Anything, and I mean literally anything, you'd want for breakfast or brunch is on offer. Eggs, meats, fruits, pastries, tacos, quesadillas, guisados, salsas, you-name-it. All of it freshly prepared. What I appreciate is, despite it being 'buffet' style serving, the staff still provides top notch table service. Never once did my juice, water or coffee go unfilled. Service was exemplary. (And the Cafe de Olla is worth the trip alone!) Dining is "semi-outdoor"; tables are in an inner courtyard, under a huge palapa, or nestled in the trees. All in all, it makes for a terrific dining experience. If you can't tell, I love this place! See you there! read more

Santo Coyote - Jungleside Dining! - Mexican Near Me - Guadalajara, JAL

We were looking for somewhere to go for dinner and came across this place in Yelp. We Ubered there so parking was not an issue for us although it looks like you can park/valet there. First impression when we walked in was wow!! Seemed like we were in a a Lucious tropical jungle!! It was so beautiful and spectacular!! We all ordered the rib eye tacos and they were just ok I felt they could have been seasoned better hence the 4 stars. Service was great and they also have a tequila tasting bar upstairs that is absolutely insane, murals on the ceiling and so may different tequilas!! Overall an amazing experience come check them out!! read more

Came here for the very popular breakfast buffet. Arriving at 11a on a Monday, I was seated without a wait (it was busy, though). There's a lot on offer, with multiple buffet stations spread out over the tropical rainforest ambience. I'm not really a breakfast person, so I mostly just had a torta ahogada and sampled a few of the different guisos, all of which were tasty. I finished with a plate of fruit and left satisfied, having adequately filled my belly for a day trip to Tequila! read more

All I can say is wow....Best meal I've had in Mexico in four years of traveling to various places. They start by making fresh salsa at the table...I had them make guacamole as well! I ordered a cesar salad with shrimp, and their absolutely bomb ribeye tacos....tacos come out wrapped in a flour tortilla and I added the fresh guacamole and fresh salsa to the tacos for additional flavor....top that with this purple salt they bring out and wow, unbelievable. I dared to ask for dessert and my goodness, their desserts are made in house...I picked the cheesecake as it was literally melting like the best cheesecake I had in San Sebastián last summer....and holy crap, I was instantly back in San Sebastián, Spain. Throw in their unbelievable ambiance (whoever decorated this place deserves an award) and this was one of the best dining experiences I've had. I'll definitely be back. read more

From the service, to the food and ambiance it checks all boxes. Food is very delicious with a variety of different choices to choose from sweet to savory to spicy. Servers are all on the same page to deliver excellency, you can see and feel it in their mannerisms. And of course who can forget the atmosphere, it's kind, clean, cozy yet aesthetically appealing. My party came back the next day so I can solidify my opinion and of course, they did not disappoint. I would highly recommend that this place goes on anyone's list. read more

Ambiance: 5/5: The restaurant is huge! It is very nicely decorated, and it definitely makes you feel like you are in a resort. Service: 3/5: the staff was very friendly, but did have some minor issues. Even though there were plenty of open tables, it took them over 20 minutes to sit us down. When I was about to order my food, I asked my waitress if she could give me her opinion/recommendation between two plates but the answer was she gave me was "thats hard, one is chicken and the other is beef". She didn't say which one was more popular or which one was her favorite. Lastly, we had to wait awhile to get our check. Food: 2/5: The food is beautifully presented, but sadly it was missing flavor/seasoning. The meat had no flavor, and the fideo soup was ok. The cantarito drink was pretty good as well as the agua frescas. Overall, my experience was ok. If I visit Guadalajara again, I dont think I would want to come back. But I'm glad I experienced it. read more

If you're in Guadalajara you definitely have to try this spot at least once! I was visiting my family who live in the city & they recommended Santo Coyote for their all you can eat breakfast buffet. The food there was AMAZING, we stuffed ourselves like crazy. From chilaquiles to omelets to crepes to tacos, all you can imagine they make it for you fresh. It is closer to the touristy pricy side but I think it's well worth it if you go with an appetite. We arrived around 12pm on a Sunday and walked right in with no reservation. The buffet also ends at 2pm btw and they offer their regular menu after. The decor is so exotic & so nice for brunch with friends/family. The servers are very friendly, it does get busy but they were always checking in for our drinks. I recommend the strawberry banana smoothie or chocomilk! This was my second time here & I'll probably go again next visit :) read more

About 25-30 of us came here for a birthday celebration all the way from Chicago. Such a beautiful place. The food was amazing and the service was great. There is a great selection of food items on the buffet. Our waiter brought us several trays of a little bit of everything so we could try it before heading towards the buffet. The salsas were amazing. The ambiance is business casual. I would definitely recommend this establishment and would definitely come back.

I will begin with the ambiance 10/10. This restaurant is a museum hands down. Also, you can get a tour by a greeter and don't forget to tip! The food was okay, it was tasty but I ordered the octopus and was given 3 large octopuses .. the maracuya margarita could be a little stronger . And the service 10/10 sweet and welcoming very tentative. I really enjoyed my time at santo coyote read more

This place reminds me of a theme park restaurant or Rainforest Cafe. I came on a weekday, and there was still a wait. They don't take reservations for one person, so I waited about 10 minutes to get a very nice table near the waterfalls. A server greeted me in Spanish, and tried to explain the cocktails menu. I didn't understand Spanish that well, but I tried a rum drink with mint and coconut (14 dollars). It came in a small glass with a nice decoration. It was indeed sweet from the creme and had a minty flavor. The rum was enough for a buzz, but would have loved it to be stronger for 14 dollars. For my entree, I tried the grilled chicken (about 20 dollars). It did take some time to receive it, but I was able to enjoy complimentary chips and salsa made table side. The salsa had a nice spicy kick from the peppers, and I did request it spicy. When the chicken came, it was perfectly grilled. The chicken was tender and juicy and had an excellent grilled flavor. The vegetables were even more flavorful from the grill, and I savored every bite. The portions were more than enough, but the food was so delicious that I ate everything and became quite full. It was indeed excellent quality for a themed restaurant. The service was very good, even with the limited English they knew. They tried to translate as much as they could, and had other workers to help. Some guests were also very nice to translate as well for me since my Spanish was a bit limited. The table side presentation of the salsa was a very nice gesture. The atmosphere is very stunning with the waterfalls and sculptures in the dining area. I enjoyed the sounds of the crashing waters while waiting. There was a mariachi band who took requests, but I didn't take advantage of that. The seating is mostly outdoors and there were quite a few, and most of them are in shaded areas. This restaurant is indeed expensive in Mexico, but serves excellent food in an amazing atmosphere. It is indeed one of my favorites in Mexico, and well with the wait and money. I will definitely visit again much time I am in Guadalajara. read more

The food was horrible , my steak did not have flavor . But everything else from the service and the music and decor was perfect. If you want a view and good service come here but don't expect good food. The only good as the salsa and their drinks. Also very pricey read more

The restaurant has unique decorations both in the front and inside. They also have a small gift shop for guests who wanted to take home souvenirs. I ordered what I understand as steak salad, when it came I thought is was a pizza. It so delicious! We also had chicharon, chips, salsa and guacamole for appetizers. Our server and I wish I remember her name, she was very patient as most of us does not speak Spanish. Everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Santo Coyote is one of the best restaurants I visited while in Guadalajara. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The buffet was amazing and mad delicious.

What a gem this place is. The ambience is amazing. You feel transported when you're there. So many beautiful touches in the carvings, the seating, the decor. The food was delicious. I felt the strawberry steak was a little meager in portion and had no sides but it was delicious. The other dishes were better portioned and had sides. Tableside salsa made to our heat preference and fresh made tortilla chips was a nice way to start. Service was great and we were even treated to traditional dances. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing! I went here during our visit to Guadalajara it was recommended by a friend of mine who visits the city regularly and it did not disappoint. The place its self aesthetically is gorgeous. A place like this in the US would be definitely considered high end as I assume it is here as well. The food is DELICIOUS. We ordered the strawberry steak, the octopus and a panela cheese appetizer. I ordered the Jamaica margarita and it was perfect. The service was immaculate, they catered to all our needs and even offered us a tour of options to choose where we would like to sit. It's on the higher end of the price range, for two alcoholic beverages, a bottled water, an appetizer and two main courses it was about $170 plus tip. The total was about $200 but it's 100% worth it. PS: They have a beautiful little cat walking around that made me miss my own babies but we loved the company. read more

I will not recommend it at all. We asked for the steak medium rare, it was brought to us rare. When we asked them to cook it a little longer it was brought back well done and it didn't have flavor. Tortillas were cold, service was terrible. The waitress didn't even let us finish our food before asking us if she can pick up our plates. read more

Recently ventured to Guadalajara to visit family and they made sure that we needed to try Santo Coyote out before we left. We stopped by on a Sunday morning as soon as our flight landed for Brunch Buffet and what we experience was something to behold. I have never been to such a well decorated restaurant that was so well organized and their customer service being so exceptional. The views inside are amazing to behold and the different buffet stations with attentive staff are separated around the venue which creates a very fun scavenger hunt for what to select next. Everything here was as authentic as it can get and truly made with passion. I highly recommend to anyone to try their brunch buffet. I will need to come back someday for dinner as I too hear they offer exceptional items. read more
