Not sure about coyotes, but here in Norway foxes hang around near the garbage bins of restaurants because the garbage attracts rat. They will then leave happily with a huge rats in their mouths.

London, England has a large population of urban foxes.

It seems that their favourite meal is discarded fast-food fried chicken bits, their second choice is "raid the garbage bins for anything smelly and meat-based". But for sure they'd take live prey such as rats. They also eat snails and earthworms.

In other words, a successful urban animal should be nocturnal, fast and agile, clever and above all: omnivorous.
