Coyote Crossing

We visited Coyote Crossing as a group for the last time. Our prior visit, over a year ago, was fabulous! we were so pleased with everything. I lived in Mexico for over 15 yrs. I know good Mexican food. This visit was totally opposite our first, and it was embarrassing as well, since we invited our parents who were anxious to experience the wonders we experienced during our first visit. We were all terribly dissapointed w/ the food--apparently the new ""chef"" changed the menu to what is now, Faux Mexican, w/a much higher price tag than our last visit. What was more infurriating was that dishes held the names of real Mexican dishes, yet when they arrived they were so far from Mexican we could have gone to any Nouveau Cuisine restaurant. The combo of ingredients was horrible. The Chiles Rellenos were small poblano pepers filled with a mixture of ingredients & spices that tasted nothing of Mexico, the Salmon I ordered was the worse Salmon dish I've ever had. It was not fresh (as they reported), was fishy, dry and covered w/ a sauce that clashed terribly w/ the natural flavor of Salmon, the tamale that came with it was as hard & dry as a rock. The appetizers were nothing to write about & were also Faux Mexican they could have been served anywhere. Pros: Architecture and design of the dinning courtyard Cons: Food (Faux Mexican), Service, Price more

This was my favorite outside venue, not anymore! They have raised prices to a fine dining level without delivering an experience commensurate with the increase. Appetizers around $15, scallops $29, fajitas $21. We tolerated the wait before and it was worth it, but a bad manager seems to give the entire front of the house an attitude. I gave them a poor written review after our meal on the card provided and, after asking what was wrong, the manager said, ""I run this place and I run it well, now what's the bottom line because I have to get back to work!"" The Bottom line is, the fish was undercooked, the service was bad, and the prices are silly h for what they deliver. We would have given it a 2nd chance if the manager wasn't rude but we won't go back and we cannot recommend Coyote Crossing to anyone. Pros: Beautiful outside ven Cons: service , wait, food quality/price more

I loved the food here. I liked the ambiance too. Margaritas were good. We went there are as a group of 10. Service was prompt and nice. It is definitely worth a try. Pros: Great Food Cons: Location more

You have got to try the Queso Condedo with chorizo sausage and poblanos, it was so good. They have a limited mexican and not classic mexican but what they have is great. they have seafood, chicken, steak, etc. something for everyone. Watch out though, no kids meals and I paid $9 for little more than flour tortillas with cheese, aka quesedillas! more

We had a little trouble finding the place, but once you find it this Mexican restaurant provides a fun setting for a large group of people. I especially liked the outside, which was surrounded by trees that had been strung with white christmas lights, and there were also a few fountains to add to the ambiance. The food itself was also delicious, and I wouldn't mind getting the recipe for the tasty salad dressing. more

I have eatten here several time and love the menu selection. Coyote Crossing has heart healthy menu seclections that are absoulutely delicious! The only thing better then the food is the fresh sangria that is a must try! T more

It is very loud that you can't have a conversation. The service is terrible. The margarita's are very sweet. Overall rating is very low on my part. Cons: , Parking, Bad Service more

I have been to Coyote Crossing three times and have always experienced poor service. Our waiter never returned after taking our order. The food was served cold and you had to read lips in order to have a conversation. The outdoor patio is very nice but they allow you to only order drinks if you like. It would cut down on the noise in the actual restaurant. Pros: Outdoor patio Cons: No parking, Too noisy more

This place is really cool, but according to the sign on the door, it is not really a great place if you are looking for an outdoor bar....everyone sitting outside must order an entree, hence making it a restaurant! Pros: Decor, environment, outside seating Cons: poor parking more

In all of greater Philadelphia, this place gets my vote for the single worst place to eat EVER. Any positive review gives me pause. I've been there 5 times, so my bad experiences have not been flukes. I only returned because of planned celebrations there. On those occasions, I laid and won bets on the bad things that would happen to our party. More than once I ordered food, never received it, and met hostility when asking for it again. The staff openly treats you like they resent you. I cannot emphasize that enough. You're subject to more rules and restrictions than in grade school. They literally have them posted on the tables. The food is acceptable, but the prices are exorbitant for what you get. I'm about as mellow a diner as a restaurant can ask for, and even I cannot believe this place is still in business. Pros: outdoor dining Cons: poor pricing, worse service, worst all-in-all more

I've been to Mexico as well as Texas many times and I don't know who the owners/cooks/servers at Coyote Crossing are trying to convince that they're serving authentic Mexican / Tex-Mex food. This place sucks! I've been here at least a dozen times and I ask myself why every time! Stick to the Tequila, Beer and chips; that's all the quality you've got! Anyone that wants to wait two hours for a table is crazy! Taco Bell has better food!!! Pros: Tequila, Salsa, Beer Cons: Food, Food, Service more

Though the outside patio is very nice in the summer, the experience ends there. Recently the portion sizes have been cut in half while the prices have skyrocketed (the average lunch is over $15) The service has always been terribly slow, and they are in general more strict than welcoming. Two of us had ordered 3 appetizers to share, plus drinks, but were told that we had to choose from the (very expensive) entree menu to sit outside. The iron outdoor furniture is very pretty, but very uncomfortable, and the tables were not designed to eat a meal at as you can't pull the chair all the way in without bruising your shins! And if you can get past all of that, the food is just OK, and certainly not worth the wait. Cons: expensive, slow more

I love this restaurant! Let's start off with the warm Mexican cafe atmosphere, complete with a large working woodburning fireplace on one end of the room. Then there are their margarita's--all kinds (many flavors) served any way you like (straight up, on the rocks, frozen). Any given night there are additions to the menu which make chosing one thing nearly impossible. My favorite was a crepe filled with shrimp which had first been sauteed in white wine--then the whole dish was smothered in flavorful pablano sauce. I have also enjoyed the chuncky homemade guacamole. Basically, everything on the menu is delicious. You won't find much of the usual Tex-mex fare here. Pros: woodburning fireplace Cons: location more

Always start on a positive, the margaritas rocked! Then it all went downhill. First, the place is too loud, I had to read lips all night. Then I got my entree, talk about no value for the price! The service was horrendous and slow. Very disappointing and I won't go back. more

The most authentic Mexican food in the entire area! Wonderful atmosphere, large portions, friendly staff. A bit noisy, but fun. Makes you feel like you're in a little part of Mexico! Pros: food, authenticity, portions Cons: little pricey, service is spotty, crowded, long lines more

This used to be a favorite haunt for my husband and myself, as it was the site of our first date. However, our most recent visit last summer for my husband's birthday was a nightmare. The restaurant does not take reservations, and 4 of us arrived at 7 and waited two hours for a table (despite being told it would be a one-hr wait). Both bars indoors and out were jammed shoulder to shoulder. By the time we were seated and had our appetizers it was after 10pm. It was not a good experience and we will not return. Pros: attractive deck Cons: no reservations taken, slow service more

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday because I absolutely love Mexican food. The food was overpriced and bland. The restaurant was virtually empty and the service was STILL slow. I definitely will not be going back. Pros: nice deck Cons: slow service, overpriced, bland food more

I've been here a few times for business lunches, and we've always been seated promptly. However, true to what the other reviews state, the waitstaff is sometimes negligent once you've been seated. I've also found the experience to be too ""relaxed"" (read: slow) to be a successful lunch hour trip, so it's reserved for special occasions. The price also limits the experience to special occasions, unless you are one of the patrons parking your Jag or Mercedes out front. Food? I've always enjoyed the ""authentic"" chips and salsa, and the Cuban sandwich is wonderful. The outdoor patio is a treat. Pros: Beautifully decorated, Good chips & salsa Cons: expensive, slow service more

Good food, not-so-good service. On a recent Saturday night visit with 2 others, we were promptly seated on the patio, yet we must have turned invisible from that point on. We waited nearly 20 minutes for the waiter to approach to take our drink order, and another 20 for his return with our drinks and to take our food order. We didn't take it personally, though, since most of our fellow diners were ""enjoying"" the same experience. The food was very good, but we could have clearly run up the bar tab with at least 2 more drinks apiece had our pleasant, but inattentative, waiter returned before the end of our meal. Will I go back....? I don't know. If I do, I'll have to block out a pretty big chunk of time... and patience. Pros: good atmosphere, decent food Cons: limited parking, slooooww service more

If you are searching for real Mexican food, keep driving out to Broad Axe, Center Square or Chalfont. Our dishes were heavy on rice and chips. The meat, chicken, chorizo, part was only two bites. It tries to be fancy Mexican food; but, you'll leave feeling cheated. Pros: diet like portions Cons: parking more
