Tilapia was fresh and had good flavor, came with salad

We really loved this place. We stopped by and were really pleasantly surprised. The pisco sour, lomo, fish dishes and even cake were delicious. The service was excellent. Decent Peruvian Dishes are hard to come by in this area and this was fantastic. We will be back. ❤️

Service, presentation, and flavor were all on point! The young gentleman who was our server was very kind and prompt. I had the Pollo en Salsa de Hongos which was phenomenal! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was bursting with flavor. Very nicely presented on a bed of crispy potatoes with asparagus. Will definitely be back try out the other items on the menu!

Highly recommend. Extremely delicious!

We really enjoyed our meal - I had the Pescado Tumaco (with cod) and husband ordered the Tallarin Surf & Turf. The cod was cooked perfectly and the coconut rice not overly sweet. We did share dishes and preferred the cod over the Tallarin S&T, which was still very good. The service was excellent and the young staff was delightful and stopped to talk to us during the meal. The restaurant was very clean and the decor was charming. I definitely want to return!

Fauna Latin Flavor offered an extraordinary Latin dining experience that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant décor, lively Latin music, and warm hospitality set the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening.
To start, I indulged in the classic empanadas—golden, flaky pastry stuffed with a delicious blend of seasoned beef, onions, and olives. They were served with a tangy chimichurri sauce that added the perfect touch of freshness.
For the main course, I indulged in a mouthwatering arroz con pollo—the rice infused with saffron and simmered with tender chicken, peppers, and onions, creating a dish that was both comforting and rich in flavor. The side of tostones—fried plantains—added a delicious, slightly sweet crunch to the meal. To finish, the flan was a creamy, caramel-topped delight that melted in my mouth.
To top it all off, dessert was a showstopper: a decadent chocolate cake with a side of hot coffee. The contrast of warm and cold was perfection on a plate.
The lively atmosphere, complete with Latin music and friendly service, tied everything together for an evening that felt like a warm embrace of Latin culinary traditions.
+ off menu chicken wings were fantastico!!
Service was impeccable—our beautiful server Velleria (have her pronounce it) was attentive/attractive without being intrusive/gaudy, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty.
So whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself, The Fauna Latin Flavor delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended! - Sean

My friend and I ate there tonight and we were the only two in the restaurant and it took 30 minutes to get our food. my friends pasta wasn’t even cooked all the way and they tried to tell us it was homemade when it wasn’t. Then it took 10-15 to get our check. Also the pasta that we got was $18 and $19. I wouldn’t recommend them.
I miss the old coyote grille. I didn’t know that a new owner took over and was expecting the same comforting restaurant I knew before. The whole decor has changed, the beautiful murals that were on the wall are gone. The food is overpriced for the serving size you get, the taste was not good and it lacked seasoning. The food took forever to come out and it also took forever to get the check. Service was okay. For a restaurant being in a college town, it’s not affordable for students. This was a place my boyfriend and I would go to after class, but now we will never go back. I don’t understand why people think we need fine dining in Fairfax city when there’s plenty of those restaurants in Tysons. Please don’t waste your time if you loved the previous restaurant, it’s definitely not the same.

An incredible experience! I really didn't expect this kind of food at Fairfax. An excellent proposal of fusion food. I recommend it! We ordered the pork tacos, it was the softest pork I've tried in years. The feta cheese salad with peach is the best and without hesitation I would return for its chicken in truffle sauce.

Used to go to the old Coyote Grill and it was really great. My girlfriend and I went here expecting the same thing since the name was the same. Well that was not at all the case. It was completely dead when we got there. The food was all very bland. Then as you eat since it's dead the wait staff just stares at you to see if you are enjoying the food and also checks back in every 4 minutes just to see if the food is okay. Also the prices for what it was wasn't worth it. I got what seemed to be like chicken parm with a little like twist on it. It ended up tasting like chicken i could get next door at noodles and company. My girlfriend got pesto spaghetti and there was no flavor at all the only thing you could taste was nuts and noodles. We risked it all and went for desert I got chocolate cake and she got tiramisu. The cake appeared to be very moist but quickly proves otherwise. Then the tiramisu tasted more like cheesecake than tiramisu. Overall I can't say I'd recommend it and I would say for sure go somewhere else.
