- PPriyaOrange County •3 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoIt was our first time, and we enjoyed our experience. We tried the nachos, which were great, loaded with cheese and toppings, as well as a 3-item combo (2 cheese enchiladas and 1 potato taco). The enchiladas and rice were great; the potato filling in the taco and the beans were slightly under seasoned. Service was prompt and attentive (we went on a Saturday, at 5:30). Ambience is nice and we would return again.More infoBlind Coyote CantinaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Yorba Linda•4.4

It was my wife's first time and she loved it! I definitely will be back for more date nights.More infoSandBar Huntington BeachPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Huntington Beach•4.8
