What an amazing experience. I have been wanting to come here for a while and finally got the chance to make it happen. Marco was hands down the best server I have met in Puerto Penasco, he truly cares and goes above and beyond. Everything from the atmosphere, the service, the food and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. The drinks were very good and the food had so much flavor. Marco even hand made the complimentary salsa fresh in front of us. I highly highly recommend you stop by here and if you can get Marco as your server you are in good hands. Cheers to an amazing time and experience. I will definitely be back without a doubt! ❤️

My wife and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here on our very first trip to Rocky Point, staying nearby in Playa Encanto. From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of world class.
This place may look like a casual beachside café, but don’t be fooled—it’s a true fine dining establishment in every way. We enjoyed an incredible meal overlooking the Sea of Cortez, watching pelicans hunt in packs just offshore.
I ordered the zarandeado shrimp, perfectly grilled and full of rich, smoky flavor. My wife had a massive steak platter that was dramatically set aflame tableside by Martine. It was a show-stopping presentation that set the tone for the evening.
What really made this dinner unforgettable, though, was the staff. Our waiter, Javier, was simply outstanding. He prepared fresh salsa and guacamole right at our table with skill and genuine warmth. Every detail of the service was thoughtful and precise, and Javier made us feel like honored guests from start to finish.
The hostess was also an absolute doll—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. In fact, every single employee we encountered was exceptional, embodying what I now call world class Sonoran hospitality. Remember that phrase—forget Northern Hospitality and experience Sonoran Hospitality instead.
Although we didn’t stay at the Encantame Towers, the property itself looked stunning—modern, immaculate, and every bit as impressive as the restaurant.
Beautiful Mexico. Magical Mexico. Santo Coyote Ocean Cantina gave us an anniversary dinner we’ll never forget.
THANKS JAVIER AND STAFF!!!

We have been coming to Santo Coyote for several years now and each visit has exceeded our expectations! From the table side chips and guac to the centro de lomo steak, we couldn’t ask for a better meal! Diego provides excellent service, and all of the waiters are very attentive! Highly recommend!

We had a Christmas Eve dinner which was horrible. First, it was way too expensive at $140 for two. We were served mac and cheese, an over cooked dried pork loin and a burnt crushed cheese cake desert. The waiter had the adacity to come and ask me for a tip outside the restaurant as we were leaving and after we had spoken to the manager about the aweful food. I reached in my pocket and gave him $20 which was not deserved. It was Christmas Eve. We will never visit this restaurant ever again. Not to mention it was 20 miles from the center of Puerto Penasco. Never again. Have youur mac and cheese – child’s food on a special holiday. Ughghhh!

We had breakfast the other day at the Santo Coyote, we had chilaquiles and pancakes. It was good, great flavor, excellent service and a beautiful setting. The chilaquiles could have been a bit better with beans and or some shredded meat (like how they make it at Kaffee Haus). Nonetheless, it was still good overall, enjoyed the time and the setting. Would return, I think I’d try a dinner meal next time.

I’m being dramatic but I don’t get to vacation much and I was excited for this dinner. My wife has Celiac Disease and the complete disregard and lying about their ability to accommodate her, absolutely ruined my evening. She didn’t get to eat dinner and had to watch while the entirety of our family ate. Our server offered multiple options and said they would be okay for celiac, after asking him to confirm with the chef, we found out none would be safe for her. He probably shouldn’t have admitted to feeding it to multiple other people that had celiac. Either a straight up liar, dumb, or doesn’t care. Wish we would have made reservations elsewhere.

Absolutely incredible! Food is phenomenal, as is the service. Good selection of wine – they’re new and working in more. Lomo is fab tho not on the menu – ask for it.. Had the 350gr portion last night – last time we had the 750+ gram portion – flamed with Bacanora!! Salsa is incl. – like chips ans salsa but is made tableside. Caesar is outstanding and made tableside! So is guac. An absolute must try if you want great food and top-notch service. Right now, reservations are required. Manuel is pictured and is awesome!

This restaurant really has it all. This is our first visit and the atmosphere and view are incredible only topped by the amazing menu. We had a shrimp dish and the tuna and both were impeccable. Very beautifully presented and matched by great taste. The service was very professional and personable and everyone that we met from the hostess to the manager were very friendly and accommodating. Our server prepared two sauces at our table one spicy and one not too spicy for both of us and that was really a special treat. It may be a while before we can come back but we highly recommend this restaurant and we cannot wait to come back again.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The table side guacamole and salsa was amazing , everything was fresh and delicious and our server was so sweet and kind. My husband ordered tuna, they didn’t have it so they brought us a free dessert at the end which was beautiful and delicious. I would add a 6th star if I could. We were staying at playa azul and only came for dinner. I will totally come back here next time we are in the area. Incredible everything.

Most attentive service I’ve ever experienced. Staff were so friendly! Tableside custom salsa preparation. Tamarind and mango margaritas were some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Molcajete was incredible. Overall one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
Also, the music after sunset was so good – I want their playlist. The infinity pool overlooking the beach looked amazing, I actually asked at the front desk if we could come and hang out at the pool one day and buy drinks but they said we’d need to be staying there. I do wish they sold day passes or something!
2/3 buildings are still under construction so it’s not finished but I’m super impressed with everything and would love to come back and stay here.
