    This was our first visit to Blind Coyote, we had been many times when it was the Blind Pig. The food was delicious, the servers were so attentive. Loved the variey of food choices, everyone can find something they love. The chips were honestly the best tortilla chips I think I may have ever had. The portions were big, we got the Caesar salad with a jalapeño dressing that was amazing. The black beans, 10 outta 10.
