While waiting between appointments, we used Yelp to find spot for a late lunch. With a rating of 4+…read morestars, we gave it a try. The restaurant is very close to the highway, just enough to park and leave. Building isn't the best looking, needs update and more curb appeal. We were seated immediately in the back half of the establishment. Interior is a Mexican theme if course. Music is playing, almost to loud for conversations. Music sounds like the speakers are very inexpensive. The windows were open for a nice breeze but the window screens are ripped, torn, not attached which allows nature to also enjoy the food. The young girl serving didn't speak English well, when asked a question, she had to get another lady to answer. She did check on us, just once during our meal but did refill our drinks and offered a takeout container. The food was good. We ordered the tortas milanese with chicken and ACP chicken. The sandwich was huge and the ACP was a big plate full. IF we order again, it will be takeout or delivery.

Our family dined at Coyote Kitchen for a late lunch after visiting Hawksnest. I had researched Yelp…read moreprior, and based on the positive reviews and extensive menu I was excited for our family to give it a try. We were greeted promptly and were able to snag a table. I was surprised to see such a large crowd dining that time of day (2:30). But despite the busy flow of customers, service was wonderful, eager to answer questions, and very attentive. We started with the yuca fries. The absolute BEST I have ever had! Fresh, warm, well seasoned, and large portion. Our family of 5 ordered the Sedona bowl, Black & Blue burger, burrito, one of the boats, and the quesadilla, plus sweet fries and regular fries. We all thoroughly enjoyed our entrees! And loved all the fresh salsa options! Prices were also very reasonable! When we are in the area again, we will definitely return to Coyote Kitchen!

This place was a disappointment! We saw plenty of good reviews and were tempted by the extensive…read moremenu so we decided to give it a try. Our waitress was nice and friendly but definitely struggling and the food itself was very mediocre. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and sat outside as a group of 7. We started with waters and then a couple trays of chips and salsa. We opted for the house fire roasted and pico options. The chips were a good portion but each one came with maybe one ounce of each sauce...for the 7 of us. We asked for extras and so she brought out one of each... I ordered a chicken vegetable soup which the menu stated was served with a cornbread muffin. When the soup came there was no cornbread so I asked for that and upon her return she said it would be an extra $2.50 even though I literally pointed to the menu to show her that was not written anywhere lol The soup was okay, probably Would've been better with the muffin but I wasn't going to argue over it anymore. For my entree I got two southwest chicken tacos. And those were disappointing as well. Packed with a lot but just did not deliver on flavor, and the poblano cremosa salsa I got was pretty bland too. Overall sentiment from other friends was similar- they ordered bowls, burritos etc but found a lot was left to be desired with their dishes. Come payment time, I opted to use cash since the menu stated 3% surcharge for credit. When I gave her a $20, she returned my tab (after processing the others who put a card in) and I explained I had left cash, to which she asked "oh do you want me to give you a 10 and two 5s?" And I explained, No I just want to pay with cash, I only need the change. And then she gave me the wrong amount of change. So all around this spot was definitely a let down. @azfitfoodfun

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint.

We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience.
