Santo Coyote Mexican Kitchen — Restaurant in La Conner

I can’t say anything bad about my meal it was perfect, but my wife said her meal was just okay! she had the sweet potato taquitos with vegetables but there was Very little vegetables, what they call vegetables is a few onions and bell peppers which is a far cry from what we call or imagine vegetables. They have outdoor seating which was going to be fine, but they put us out back behind the restaurant in the Gravel area picnic tables. They did have outdoor seating in the front with three or four tables is where we would’ve like to sit at the time and they had a table available, we did have our small Wiener dog with us and the day before we saw people sitting out front with their dogs. Out of sight out of mine is the way I seen the service sitting out side out back behind the restaurant, Took forever to get our order took forever to get our order took forever to get our bill did not appreciate any of that. They need to work on their outdoor atmosphere by adding music and a few more walks to block the wind and add some more sunscreen over the top and work on Servicing their outdoor seating customers better.

It took forever to get seated and forever to order and forever to get food. But I'm 100% certain is because they are understaffed due to the pandemic.

That being said, the food was delicious. It was also served hot, which I wasn't expecting given how long everything was taking. The servers we did have were visibly stressed out but still managed to remain friendly and upbeat, which was also surprising.

The restaurant is also beautiful. I think once all this pandemic nonsense is over, I will try them again to see if having a full staff makes the experience better. I still recommend because I don't believe the issues are typical but the issues did cause them to...
