Coyote Cafe & Rooftop Cantina

The rooftop cantina above Coyote Cafe on Water Street began as the cafe's overflow bar, and tacos sit at the center of its menu. The kitchen blisters tomatoes by the pound for the fire-roasted salsa on the steak tacos, while the best-selling fish tacos get a bright tropical salsa of pineapple, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño and mint. Order the al pastor tacos, the owner's own pick, with extra pineapple.
