Cafe Coyote has been serving up award winning Mexican for over 25 years. Dave made reservations (The line was long...reservations are recommended for the week-ends.) for 5:00pm on the upstairs outdoor patio.
How nice it was to visit with Dave, Lynn and their son Richard as the sun's setting glow lit up the hillside across the street.. And yes, if you see a frozen concoction on the table, it would be mine. Absolutely the best Margarita made with the best Tequila I have ever had! In fact, Cafe Coyote has Tequila Ambassadors to educate and entertain guests. Over 100 tequilas are on the list that are served there. Did you know that...
More tequila is sold in Old Town San Diego than anywhere else in the world...
And, Cafe Coyote is a certified "Tequila House" by the Academia del tequila, Mexico City and is one of only two in the United States.
This was our first visit to Historic Old Town at night. What a difference the night makes. It is way more festive and alive!
Last Friday, we all decided to take a bike ride from the Bernado Shores RV Park where The Perkin's have lived for the past few weeks after a stay at Mission Bay Resort. The bikepath to Coronado is just down the street...how convenient is that? Well, we didnt make it all the way to Coronado, but we did ride to Silver Strand Public Beach area.

We worked up a good appetite so it was off to Imperial Beach for lunch and a walk on the beach...once again, Dave and Lynn hit the jackpot. Their choice was Barrels Wine and Beer. It hasn't been open very long, but has become a popular spot to gather for a glass of wine with a view of the pier and beautiful sunsets.
We all had way too much food with homemade chips and fries...but that didn't stop some of us from cleaning our plates!
Imperial Beach park just next door to Barrels was a flurry of activity...
There is a boardwalk and watershed where we parked along the Tijuana River.

Such a wonderful time with friends and wonderful weather to boot.
ReplyDeleteYou are having way too much fun !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to spend some time. I love San Diego and just about everything about it .... especially the fact that the Pacific Ocean is right there along with some gorgeous beaches.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty! Thank you for sharing-the sunshine and warm weather look so inviting--as did the margarita!
ReplyDeleteI had my first huge Margarita in Old Town SD but unsure if it was at that cafe. The beach looked so inviting with the sun just shining it good.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you are haven so much fun with your friends, wonder how many margaritas you have downed :)
I worked down the street from the cafe and had an occasional lunch there. I loved Old Town, always great places to eat, or just walk around and window shop. I'm glad you are enjoying San Diego! :)
