The amiable servers all speak good English. Owners Raymondo Vasquez and Raul Guzman are natives of Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city. Those in search of simple, authentic Mexican food will feel welcome here. The menus at most local French restaurants don't seem particularly French. But the menu at Coquette Cafe is the real thing.
Meals start with tiny baguettes with a good, chewy crust.
The soupe a l'oignon is the definitive French onion soup, topped with gruyere cheese and a broth that tastes oniony-not salty and beefy. Though there is a good wine list, the beers actually win out. Moderate prices don't hurt, either.
