Coyote Pause Cafe, Tucson AZ

Enjoyed avocado tacos but the Cole slaw was pretty mild. Definitely needed salsa. Smaller portions on breakfast omelet and hash and eggs than expected. Good Pancake with addition of blueberries.

I made reservations, and me and my lady friends were really looking forward to trying this place I seen advertisement. But I was slightly disappointed because the service was not that great we had to get another server in order to get refills on water I actually serve myself with refills of coffee, never checked on us and asked us how things were, I had to flag somebody down she complain about my burger that had entirely too much of their seasoning on it and tasted salty, they did replace the burger but houssem ever it was poor service when you made reservations for a Party of Five because we were having a Christmas gift exchange. We also drove 30 minutes to get there. Unfortunately we won't be recommending anytime soon.

Waitress was fantastic. Only thing was they couldn't keep up w my coffee consumption and they forgot the jelly for my friend. Otherwise its always been very good

Since the new management and employees the food and service has been very poor quality. It's a shame because this restaurant used to be a great place to eat.

Installed a new hot water heater. The food looks delicious and I could see they are consciences about food temperature.

Very overpriced for okay quality.
$2.50 for a little cheese on my eggs.
Waited a long time for food and they brought the wrong order the first time.

2 egg whites with cheese, home fries, a slice of toast and a cup of coffee should not cost you $18

Really enjoy this little restaurant. A hidden close to home. People working are friendly and there's second hand store shops right behind. The food is delicious.

I heard highly on Facebook and tried this place. High prices. Small portions in my opinion. Lesson to the reviews before trying.

Very welcoming and friendly service. Great place to take out of town guests. Cute southwestern atmosphere and good food.

The house specialty homemade corned beef hash was underwhelming. Little overpriced for the serving. Took us a half an hour after we ordered to get breakfast.

Remember those frozen patty burgers from the school cafeteria? There were no grill marks on the burger and it was “wet”. I was so hungry I had to eat it. This place sucks at food.

I love breakfast 24/7 and this was my go to place but recently they lost something in there food making.ambience is still great. Biscuits and gravy is not good, omelettes are mediocre. Maybe they got a new cook in the kitchen. They were great at one time? Don't know what happened. Maybe in a couple of months I'll try them again.

Coyote Pause has been a great cafe for breakfast and lunch in the past. The latest experience was awful. One hour wait for order and poor service. The quality of the food and service was very disappointing. I will not recommend to anyone.

First time here after reading so many raves and great reviews. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. Waitress was not friendly at all and made us feel rushed the whole visit, even though it was overly busy. Food was only ok.not the wonderful food I had read about and was so looking forward to. Small portions and too expensive for what we got. Not sure we will try it again.

I am the President of a local motorcycle riding club in Tucson. Our group along with others I know have been supporting this local business for years.
Due to recent experiences and the rude way my riders were treated by whom they believed to be the owner. I contacted Coyote Pause and talked with the manager (Chris) who was professional and polite. Chris stated that per the owner they will no longer accommodate large groups (15 or more). The large groups cause longer wait times for their small groups and regulars. I explained to the manager that I would pass this info on to all of the local clubs and groups I know so that we will not be an inconvenience to there way of buisness. We will definitely miss this place because of the location, friendly wait staff, and food.
Just to clarify, we always made reservations and normally made a courtesy call with the exact number the morning of. Our group like most leave really good tips and do not get upset or complain about wait times.
I would like to pass on that on my first phone call I had a conversation with one of the waitresses that has waited on us and she is devastated with the whole thing. She told me that she has always enjoyed waiting on us and will miss the groups.
As for the owner of the business, you of all people should be respectful to all customers, and I believe you could have handled this in a better way. Like I explained to your manager, I will definitely pass the word out, and we will find another place that wants our business.

Have enjoyed this Cafe in past. Disappointed this visit. Fish tacos had a burnt flavor and almost no cream sauce. Burrito was fine, as usual.

Must try the Mesquite Pancakes. Includes flour from the ground seeds of the tree. Highly flavorful and super nutritious. Ask for the real maple syrup too. Super friendly staff. They make a good calabacitas side order. Worth the drive out on Ajo. And it's in the Cat Mountain plaza with shops.vintage, art, collectibles and furniture, etc. There is a Gem shop across the streets. There are a couple of BnB nearby and an observatory. Makes a nice area for a weekend getaway, near Saguaro National Forest too.

Went there again since I was back in town for a couple days. Chris and his people were wonderful and the food was excellent once again. Thanks Chris Pooler and staff.

Used to be good, but last few times only so-so (meh food and bad coffee). Yesterday food undercooked and I was told it was because the the griddle wasn't heating properly. So I spent (before tip) over $18 for 2 egg breakfast (eggs, toast, potato, bacon) and coffee. Mediocre diner quality at resort price. I no longer recommend my previously favorite breakfast place.

Drove all the way from Dallas to try the Mesquite Pan Cakes and dang they were very good. I will be making another trip in the future for this place. It's a must eat at place to go.
