We had a 12 hour layover in Guadalajara and we spent 2 of those hours in this magical place. The food was abundant, the service was so thoughtful and kind. The atmosphere was like a dream. I would love to come back here if I get the chance.
Exceeded my expectations! The food was fresh and flavorful. My picky daughter devoured her smoked salmon and loved it. The tropical vibe, with fountains all around, made for such a relaxing setting. Service was excellent, attentive and warm. A must-visit in Guadalajara!
There were a massive amount of real flowers decorating the entire restaurant and wandering cobblestone paths that lead you through natural greenery to your table where you will experience top notch service and mind blowing delicious food. Accompanied by live entertainment by mariachi and mexican dancers. Be careful not to order too much. The servings are large.
Beautiful place, delicious food, super beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. Their salsa amartajada, prepared from scratch by your table, was delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. I was avoiding animal protein for the night, and ordered two different soups: Crema del Negro (black beans based, with cheese and herbs, etc), y Crema Hacienda de Cortes (flor de calabaza). Both were delicious. For drink I had the Jamaica with mineral water. It was very special. The chaman of the place is a good friend of my friend who was my host. The chaman is a very friendly and interesting person. It was a great experience having him for a few minutes at our table. The service was excellent, the table was in a super high palapa that is at the end of a beautiful tropical garden with tables. They also have tables and a museum of tequila on the 2nd floor. This place is a keeper. Especially if you want to treat and cause a very good impression on your guest - or when treating yourself to a nice place and meal -. They also have a mariachi band and a folkloric ballet performing in the patio. Great artists in both groups!! Definitely, this place is a keeper!!
Santo Coyote: A Guadalajara Brunch You Can't Missed it If you're looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Guadalajara, you absolutely can't miss Santo Coyote. It's more than just a meal—it's an event. Plan your visit for brunch, served daily from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm. The atmosphere is nothing short of magnificent.

However, the most memorable and unique part of the experience is the opportunity to request a blessing from the resident Shaman. This spiritual, beautiful tradition makes dining at Santo Coyote a truly special occasion.
Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Santo Coyote, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the beautiful decorations — the atmosphere was warm, lively, and full of character, perfectly balancing traditional charm with a modern touch. To start, I ordered the guacamole with chicharrón and queso as appetizers. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — the guacamole was fresh and full of flavor, and the crunchy chicharrón added the perfect texture. The queso was rich and comforting, a perfect way to begin the meal. For my main course, I had the Mar y Tierra churrasco with shrimp, and it was simply outstanding. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked, complemented beautifully by the juicy, flavorful shrimp. Every bite felt like a celebration of flavor and quality ingredients. The service was also excellent — attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Overall, Santo Coyote delivered a wonderful experience filled with great food, inviting ambiance, and top-notch service. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu!
I am not a big fan of buffets but this place was exceptional! The whole staff were great, they were quick to refill our drinks and pick up our plates. Everything that I ate was very good. I especially loved the birria tacos, the salsas were amazing. The whole vibe was awesome too. Upstairs they have a tequila museum and store to buy or sample some drinks. The cooks at that food stations were phenomenal as well It is very difficult to find places that have great service, atmosphere, and great food but this is definitely one of those places! Can’t wait to visit again
Fabulous restaurant with a mixed setting (indoor/outdoor). A couple of waterfalls surround the seating that gives off a natural & exotic feel. The only drawback with the atmosphere are the mosquitos, but staff are consistently spraying repellent. The food and drinks are very delicious. Overall the experience is great. Prices are a bit on the higher end but worth it.
