"A colorful, no-frills cantina with sweeping ocean views, Coyote Grill is a quintessential Laguna Beach hangout. Its casual, hole-in-the-wall charm feels easygoing, while the covered back patio — with a fireplace for cooler nights — adds some warmth. The menu highlights fresh seafood, from buttery lobster dishes to classic Mexican plates. The strawberry cucumber margarita with Astral Blanco is a refreshing pick, best enjoyed before a quick walk down to the beach. Just note — parking is valet only, so plan accordingly." - McConnell Quinn
