Santo Coyote Review

Reviewed by barquentine from England on 7/4/09
To be fair, most of my companions rated the food here as a four out of five. They were eating various steaks.

I, being a demiveg, opted for the tuna steak.
I tried the tortilla chips, which previously in all places I have had no problem in consuming, and almost immediately had a violent allergic reaction that caused serious breathing difficulties.
The Margarita that they served me tasted exactly like one of those that you can make from a bottle of chemicals found in a supermarket. I am certain it was not prepared from fresh ingredients. Others at my table commented likewise.
When it arrived it had an unappetising appearance with no sauce whatsoever. A pale grey coloured chunk of protein. Tasting it, my suspicions were confirmed: I was sure that this was frozen tuna. It sat on top of some unidentifiable vegetables, of bland flavour, and a piece of Iceberg lettuce. There were no potatoes, rice, or other form of carbohydrates and this left me feeling cheated.
After the meal I decided to complain to the management and they did not dispute my opinion that the tuna had been frozen.
The ambience here is 'tourist Mexico' complete with a visiting Mariachi band looking for commissions and four dancer-couples from Michoacan who gave us some typical entertainment including the 'Dance of the Viejitos'. Highly amusing.
I'm sure you can find a much better venue than this one, in Guadalajara. Disappointing. Pretentious. I suppose if you like to eat a fillet steak with little or no accompaniment it might suit.
