Taco Tuesday looks a little better from the rooftop! 🌮🍹

Come for the tacos, stay for another round, and enjoy a little Santa Fe sunshine surrounded by all the color and personality of the Coyote Rooftop Cantina.

On the drinks menu? Our Hibiscus Sangria with Spanish w**e, peach, and citrus. The Watermelon Mojito with rum, fresh watermelon, mint, and lime. The Tickled Pink Paloma with silver tequila, pink grapefruit, and a playful rim of salted Pop Rocks. And our Coco Loco, a frozen tropical affair with three rums macerated in fresh pineapple, brown sugar, vanilla bean, and coconut.

And that’s only the beginning!

Tacos, colorful cocktails, and a rooftop with a personality all its own. We can’t think of a better way to spend a Tuesday.

Rooftop seating is first come, first served. Walk right up!

Lately at Coyote Café…

A collection of beautiful plates, ( so much color and texture 😍) incredible ingredients and a few very good reasons to make dinner plans.

Seared Diver Scallops in truffled yuzu lobster broth. Lobster Tails Al Pastor with toasted coriander rice and mezcal-pineapple salsa. Pan-Roasted Chilean Sea Bass with sautéed beans and yellow tomato nage. Prime Beef Short Ribs over green chile creamed corn with sweet pepper chimichurri. And Bison Carpaccio with smoked pecorino, citrus-cured olives and piñon.

There’s so much to love about this menu. The colors, the textures, the unexpected combinations and the attention given to every single plate.

We would love to welcome you for dinner. Explore the menu and make your reservations through OpenTable 🍴

Balloon Fiesta is almost here, and Santa Fe, we’re ready for you.

Whether you’re making the drive up after an early morning among the balloons, spending a few extra days exploring New Mexico, or returning to a favorite table, consider this your invitation to dinner at Coyote Cafe and Cantina.

Chef Dakota Weiss and the Coyote kitchen are heading into autumn with a menu made for this exact moment in Santa Fe — beautiful ingredients, thoughtful plates, and plenty worth passing around the table. Come hungry, settle in, and let us take care of dinner.

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta runs October 3–11, which means this is one of the busiest stretches of the season across Northern New Mexico. If Coyote is on your itinerary, we highly recommend making your dinner reservations now.

Welcome to New Mexico, Balloon Fiesta visitors. We’d love to have you at our table while you’re here.

Reservations via OpenTable . And if the Rooftop Cantina is calling your name, no reservation needed — it’s walk-in only.
