Little Coyote
Texas-Mexican restaurant in the St. Elmo neighborhood. It has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand two years running, and its smoked meats and handmade tortillas are signatures.
Opened in 2023 in the St. Elmo neighborhood at the foot of Lookout Mountain. The patio looks out at Lookout Mountain. The menu focuses on smoked meats, housemade tortillas and cocktails, and the dishes are built for sharing. Stuffed avocado comes with a choice of vegetarian, brisket or Mexican-style pulled pork. Crispy tostadas are topped with braised oxtail, a fried egg and pickled cactus. Other highlights include fajitas, queso and smoked short ribs. The housemade ice cream, in goat cheese or vanilla with corn crumble, is worth trying. Reservations by phone. About $25–45 per person. Good for a meal before or after riding the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway.
