Coyote Pause Cafe

Delicious food, tried the fish tacos and the coyote burger: everything was awesome! Fish tacos had awesome flavor combinations. Burger was huge and very filling. We waited a bit, about 40 minutes, but also had a large party so that may be why. They did have kids cups for beverages, but no kid menu options.

The Coyote Pause Cafe has delicious food, excellent customer service, and a really cool southwestern atmosphere. I tried the Huevos Rancheros made with house-made tamale pie and it was amazing! As you check out, let the cashier know if you plan to visit the Buffalo Trading Post directly behind the restaurant and they'll give you a discount card towards your purchase at the trading post. I highly recommend the Coyote Pause Cafe anytime you're in the Tucson area!

What a quaint little spot! Came in from Phoenix to hike in Tucson Mountain Park & Coyote Pause popped up as a nearby restaurant place to try. It was a drive west through more of the park (passed Old Tucson) & almost thought I was being misled by the map but low & behold Coyote Pause was right there. We came in the back way, thinking again the map took me to the wrong place, but turn the corner & it was the front of the restaurant. Very colorful! And a heck of a lot bigger than it looks. The young gal took us all the way in the back where it was bright & sunny (more so than the front). It was a large space yet not overcrowded, very open. The service was super friendly, fast, everything was delicious: hot chocolate (I didn't taste it but my hiking buddy said it was wonderful), prickly pear lemonade (mine, definitely a drink to order again), half-order of biscuits & gravy (she said you could tell it was all homemade) , mesquite pancake w/ agave syrup (great flavor and definitely filling). The park had so many trails to choose from I will definitely return and Coyote Pause will be on the agenda. You have to visit & enjoy the ambience with the wonderful food.
