Tex-Mex Fridate

[UPDATE: Coyote Tex-Mex has since been closed]

Last Friday I & my wife had a Tex-Mex themed Fridate.  We visited this place called Coyote Tex-Mex (http://www.coyote.com.sg/).  It's a nice, quiet and romantic place in Phoenix Park, Tanglin.  The place was just recently re-opened under the same management; the establishment was formerly called Spruce (http://www.spruce.com.sg/) and they used to serve American & Italian food.  That's the most likely reason why you can still find a small selection of Italian dishes in Coyote's menu.  The original Spruce still operates in Bukit Timah now.

For us, it was certainly a nice welcome change from our usual Italian, Japanese or Western fridates which has become somewhat predictable, if not, routine.

Coyote does not disappoint.  The ambiance is very nice, food is good, friendly staffs, child friendly environment too - although you might want to bring a mosquito repellent for them in case you want to let them play in the bouncy play ground downstairs - not that I'm saying they have mosquitoes there but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Wifey wanted terrace seat as it was very cold inside, it was raining whole day so outdoor seating was pleasantly breezy

So for dinner we had some hot wings, quesadillas, Chimichanga and a fancy looking drink I forgot what the name is.  I find Chimichanga very interesting: it's a deep fried burrito with rice, beans, cabbage and some protein of choice (mine was pork).  My wife said her quesadillas was very nice too, the beef brisket filling tasted delicious.  The churros were fantastic too, crispy outside, light and fluffy inside, the chocolate sauce not too sweet and the fresh tasting fruit makes the dish a lot more palatable by offering some acidity.  And for the life of me, why can't I remember what that drink is (it's not in their menu although I know it's their signature Coyorita)!!  /(>_<)\

So this is how Chimichangas look like

Light churros, cruncy on the oustide, soft inside, goes perfectly well with the chocolate sauce and fresh fruits

Overall we love the experience.  We'll bring the kids back for brunch some day.  It'll be interesting to have eggs and tacos for brunch which is a big change from the usual scrambled eggs, toast, sausages, mushroom yadda yadda yadda yadda....

Before we left I simply had to take a parting photo.
