After having had the incredible fish tacos in Charlotte, I was not anticipating to have an opportunity to have any good tex/mex type meals anytime soon. Imagine my pleasant surprise to find a great restaurant in Boone?! Boone is generally a great destination for those headed out to Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway or Tweetsie Railroad (Theme park with railroad).
We decided to eat at a restaurant along the main drag called Coyote Kitchen - the restaurant's logo/artwork seemed to have had multiple variations and multiple artists, but thankfully that was the only disappointment at this place.
We ordered a burrito and the yucatan boat, both pictured below. The burrito was a surprising mix of flavors - with only thin threads from a tex/mex heritage, but yet with clear influences from other western areas. The Yucatan Boat was sort of a western equivalent of a sheperd's pie, but with the meat on top; maybe you could think of it as a burrito bowl variant, but that description really does not due it justice. Both were delicious, as were the homemade salsas. I was disappointed that we didn't have more stomach to try all the other sauces, and even an appetizer... but we will be back.
