Coyote Cafe

I'm surprised at the low star rating. My husband and I really enjoyed this place. I got the carnitas bowl and he got the flautas. Both were very delicious. We will definitely be back!

It's a typical lodge restaurant that is usually busy and the food is okay. The staff is hit or miss. I stopped a few times since there is limited options at beaver creek. The Colorado chili was good but pricey. But if you are skiing at beaver creek money isn't a problem right?!

Love the decorations and super cute vibes. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Overall the food was very okay and didn't taste like much. We got tacos, chicken fajitas, and chicken quesadillas and all felt they were pretty flavorless. We also got some chips and queso which we were very grateful for and put on each meal.

The food was okay, nothing too exciting. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, and the service was average. The nachos were decent, but my achiote chicken bowl was so bland--it looked better than it tasted. For some reason, my bowl was a bit watery, possibly from the lettuce. The ambiance was loud and had a typical sports bar vibe. Overall, just okay food.

It's alright for ski food. The atmosphere is great but for being in Beaver Creek, I expected the food to be a bit better.

Didn't eat but watched football at the bar. Luz was great. She has a great attitude. Everyone local seem to know her and enjoy her as well.

Food was actually quite decent. Pricey for what it was but par for the course for the area. The tacos were flavorful, not dried out, and had ample fillings. The other items we ordered were also all quite tasty, with a reasonable (not large) serving size. However, one particular server was beyond rude. She wasn't even our server. Made rude comments out of nowhere. And when manager was notified, this server made sure to walk around our table to give us dirty looks. Our actual server was fine.The server drama aside, it seemed like service in general was very slow. While we got seated quickly, took awhile before someone actually came to our table.

Over the summer 2022 they were closed for a remodel, and the new layout is great, particularly because it now has a to-go drink window to the outside. I could also see the main wall to the outside is a garage door style so I suspect in the summer months it will become an awesome open air restaurant. Only downside is the bar is now where the projection screen used to be, with the old school ski movies, so less seats are able to see the screen now in its new location.That being said, for Christmas through New Years 2022, the place is very hot, very humid, and has a very strong odor to it. I'm not saying it's a bad odor, but very distinct odor of food that will leave with you on your clothing. I know this because I visited twice and the clothes I was wearing each time brought the smell back to our hotel room and it persisted for a day each time. So, my advice is layer up so you can remove layers when inside, and don't take any clothes you don't want to have smelling like the restaurant for an extended period. My other two fav's, Hooked and Dusty Boot, don't have this issue.Food-wise, the pork green chili was a real delight the past two seasons, but the recipe seems to have changed and it tastes more like something generic out of a can. First time I haven't finished it and I've ordered it probably ten times over the past two years. Burritos and enchiladas continue to be great. The salsa and queso are also great, but they can trend towards the spicy side (yes the queso too), which I love, but sometimes kids aren't fans.The drinks are fantastic. If you want margaritas, do not go to Dusty Boot where the cocktails are particularly bad, come here, they're so much better. They have a variety of tequilas and some mezcals.Final note, they will not split checks across parties; best you can do is figure it out yourself and they'll let you tell how much to charge on each card.I hate to go three stars as I do like the place, but between how hot and humid they keep it, the smell that comes home with you, changing the pork green chili, and adding that extra hassle of figuring out how to split your own checks, it lead to me being less excited to visit again as it all combined to lessen the experience of prior seasons. I was just there for nine days and increased my visits to Hooked and Dusty Boot while decreasing Coyote Cafe. I'll be back in February and March and will update my review if anything changes as I'll probably do at least one night at Coyote on both trips, or at the very least pop in and if things are as they are, will grab a marg from the to-go window and move on.

Good food and value! Laid back atmosphere and good service. Would definitely come back again!

We have enjoyed this place in the past. Stopped in today prior to the lunch rush. We ordered two cups of tortilla soup and the queso/chips and told our server we would order drinks after eating these. She said, "I will need to add other people to your table when it gets busy...I need to make some money today." That was rude... to say the least. We wanted to order bloody Mary's and they were out of mix. Tortilla soup was bland. Queso was good however. We understand how challenging it is to find good help these days, but we've had some amazing customer service in Beaver Creek this trip. However, this place was very disappointing. I would not recommend this place.
