   I have lived in Carlsbad for over 20 years. I am very familiar with eateries throughout Carlsbad, esp. the village.
   Coyotes food is very good. Their service however, is horrible! The waitresses (and staff) always look so unpleasant, like they are mad that they are at work. There is no genuine welcoming within the whole place. I think this is a reflection of the poor management going on there. BUT the good thing is, their shrimp salad is awesome! Saturday nights are a good time too... crowd is a mix of the younger crowd and mid age singles.

   THUG-A-NOMICS is all I can say. The entire community of Carlsbad seems real refined and normal, however that all changes when you visit the Coyote on a weekend. First of all they have a dress code. Normal for most places, but a collared dress shirt that is to long is not appropriate. The gangster ball caps and shorts hanging off the ass are o.k., but God forbid you come in looking nomal. Also, they have all these security guys all over the place. Guess what? You have a problem if these guys are necessary.
   
   Also, when you advertise to gansters and punks, you are going to attract gansters and punks and no dress code is going to change that. When a person comes in with shorts hanging off his ass, untucked t-shirt, and a ball hat that has a straight bill...GANGSTER, THUG, WHANNA-BE idiots. Get a clue. When a clean cut guy with a collared dress shirt comes in...probably not a gangster wanna-be.
   
   Will never visit again. Apparently by the security alone this place is a hot spot for trouble, so all you well dressed individuals stay away. Unless you are wearing your shorts around your ass, a hat side ways, and would fit in a gangster rap video...stay away from this place, because they have a strict dress code.

   Having spent my entire life in Carlsbad, I write this review with mixed emotions.
   
   I love this restaurant. Mostly because my brother waited tables there, and as a result, it has become the restaurant of choice for family get togethers.
   
   However, our last visit was anything but pleasant. In fact, we left the restaurant feeling as though we had paid to be food poisoned! Our four year old daughter decided to drink milk and mentioned that it didn't taste right. We told our server about the problem, and she apologized and said that she doesn't drink milk, but checked the expiration date and smelled the milk.
   
   I tasted it and immediately knew that it was bad. My husband was more intelligent and decided to smell it, but his gag reflex kicked in.
