What's special about it?
Mages said the farm-to-table eatery uses only locally sourced, organic ingredients—most of which are harvested from the property. Mages described the food as "elevated Tex-Mex without the hormones and antibiotics, pesticides and insecticides, and without genetic manipulation."
"It is what they used to just call 'food,'" Mages said. "If we don't grow it ourselves, it is locally sourced—including the longhorn cattle, which is from a ranch across the street, right here in Cedar Creek."
Using components such as grass-fed brisket and beef tallow; Oaxaca smoked queso; beef chorizo; nopales; and farm-fresh eggs, Mages said they have created the ultimate combination of food that is good to eat and good for you.
"We don’t mess around—every bite is the real deal, featuring grass-fed, grass-finished beef, fresh-pressed juices from our gardens, and organic everything," Mages said. "Our menu is almost entirely gluten-free, with no seed oils and no shortcuts—just straight-up quality you can taste."
What else?
Daily drink options include freshly pressed juices and aguas frescas using elements from their garden, in addition to organic coffees and teas.
Fridays through Sundays, Mages said they will offer organic beer, wines and Aperol spritzers, as well as birria and barbacoa empanadas, which can be enjoyed while listening to live music on their outdoor stage.
Stay tuned
Old Coyote Cafe is the first of several projects the pair have in store for Cedar Creek.
Mages said in early 2025, they will open an old-world-style, 48-hour-fermented sourdough pizza spot.
"Everything will be made from scratch using ingredients like tomatoes and basil from our garden, cooked in a wood-fired brick oven," Mages said. "We want to put on full display the taste difference and distinction of real food grown on-site, healthy food, quality food, food that will bring you back, time and time again."
