The soup was served with a Repasado tequila from Correlejo. A light soup with a tomato based broth, pieces of chicken and some avocado for creaminess. A little spicy for some, according to the manager, but a pleasant little interim between courses. Next up was Cafe Coyotes’ tortilla soup covered in crunchy and patriotic colored tortilla strips. Personally, one of my favorite types of tequila because it has that signature tequila taste without being too oaky. This is usually the type of tequila that is in most mixed drinks, like margaritas or for some of you out there, the type used in shots since it is the closest to being flavorless and can be chased with salt and lime to add flavor. It is very similar to a vodka in that it is crisp and nearly flavorless. It is distilled in metal vats, as opposed to wooden barrels, to maintain its’ clear color.
The nacho platter was paired with a Silver tequila called Fortalaze Blanco. There was the standard guac, avocado that’s still a little chunky with a little heat-just the way I like it, the chipotle salsa, dense and smoky, jalapeno queso, not my favorite queso ever, a little dense and lacking heat and the salsa of the month, salsa gringa, very similar to a tomatilla salsa, but made with peppers from a mountainous region in Mexico- so very refreshing and tangy. We started with the chip platter, which included a nacho type situation (chips covered in melted cheese) and 4 different dips/salsas.
If you didn’t know any better you would think it was two separate restaurants, however, the spacious seating area makes the long line to get a table go by very quickly.Īfter we ran the tortilla gauntlet, we were seated at a table and greeted by the manager/ tequila master. If you haven’t I congratulate you on your stanch willpower, for the rest of us we know this walk of food temptation as the sprawling Cafe Coyote.Ĭafe Coyote is centrally located in Old Town and spans two very large spaces. Those of you locals and most likely tourists too, have probably been to Old Town and been a victim of the tortilla ladies taunting you with the freshly warmed goodness that is known as a the flour tortilla, while you are strolling down the street or waiting in line for a table. Yes, someone finally made it an official day-I’m still waiting for the government to recognize it so I can get my rightfully earned day off, but until then I will go to a tequila pairing and tasting at Cafe Coyote because I’m a workaholic. Best news I got all Tuesday- it’s National Tequila Day (July 24th – sorry a little late!).
