    Chicken tacos
    Polly H.

    Oh my goodness. We ordered our many tacos to go. I must say those shrimp tacos are the best here! Yes, they have cheese, and yes they have the works (onions, guacamole, cilantro). It comes with salsa. So good! The beef and chicken ones are tasty also. We walked in Saturday evening, and the place was packed for the World Cup. It was cute inside and had lots of waitresses working. I saw many families and friends sitting and enjoying their meals. I think that it's raining tacos song has got us thinking about tacos all the time. Now, we get a craving for tacos on the regular. Good thing this place is available to meet those cravings!

    My 5th try on this restaurant. I had a love of first taste at this restaurant back in 2016. Everything was on point. Service was fast and friendly . Ambiance was simple & humble. Food tasted fresh and flavorful. I forced my significant other to try one last time! Maybbeeeeee they change the way they run this place or the chefs 1. We wer seated right away... but they took 30 mins to take our order.. my bf was about to leave he said he'd rather get the tacos from the food truck it would be faster and yummier 2. Another long extra 30 minutes for our order. Finally it came 3. Tacos was alright nothing special but my steak taste frozen NO FLAVOR AT ALL taste RUBBERY. My mouth had a workout .. . Guacamole has no taste and mushy weirdest guac I ever tasted... the beans bland.. absolutely NO FLAVOR.. I think all the chefs are allergic to SALT & PEPPER .. 4. You call the server .. and ask for something and they would never come back . Trying not to look and ignore you.. MANAGER OR THE OWNER COME ONNN DONT YOU SEE WHATS GOING ON. This is not a so called Mexican restaurant if you can't serve decent food. Shut the door or change your chef . It's falling apart .

    Been looking to try more different places for tacos around the neighborhood and I'm glad to say I'll be back! Overall a 4.5/5 for my first experience here. I got 2 al pastor ($3.5 ea) and 1 shrimp ($5.5) taco. The tacos were pretty solid and the portions were great. The al pastor was the winner here for me and I would order it again. The shrimp had a bit of spiciness which wasn't expected, but overall the seasoning wasn't my personal favorite. The price was good, although the shrimp one was slightly on the pricy side. Card cash accepted and my order came out in a timely manner. Will return to try more tacos soon!

    Seems like a totally newly renovated! Very nice and clean place, good music and ambiance. Very nice and friendly staff. All Smiles and genuinely welcomed. Felt good. I'm a small eater. Ordered a tamale, a shrimp taco and a chicken taco. Thoroughly enjoyed ‼‼ I Wish them success! Will def go back!

    Super friendly staff. We got the nachos, enchiladas, and each of the 3 tamales. Personal favorite: the verde tamale and cheese enchiladas. A HUGE hunk of cheese in each of the 5 that the plate came with, fully bathed in a large pool of mole.

    Huarache and tacos de chorizo,  al pastor and cecina.

    Came for Mexican food and this place never disappoints. They're horchata drink is pretty good. I tried a huarache with carne asada and it was amazing. The meat had tons of flavor. Tacos are good the only thing is they add guacamole to them which is not done in Mexico but you can ask for authentic Mexican tacos and they won't put any on them. Ask for the guacamole on the side and sip the chips you get in them. Their drinks are pretty cheap as well.

    Coatzingo Restaurant is one of many Mexican restaurants on Roosevelt Ave. The restaurants in this area seem to be one right after the other and must also compete with food trucks in a very fierce competition for customers. The restaurant is long and narrow with seating for about 50 or so. A couple of well place TVs and decor is very average, but if the food is good, then we are long time friends. Coatzingo Restaurant does not disappoint. My order consisted of carne enchilada, lengua and spicy beef tacos. Only three tacos, but let me tell you I was stuffed. Turkey Day stuffed. The three tacos where packed with meat and a ton of guacamole. The home run was the carne enchilada. It was spicy. It was tasty. It was delicious. The lengua was a bit over done for my taste, but had good flavor. The spicy beef, which was boiled, was way over done. A little on the mush side. Not my favorite, but passable. My only real objection was that there was to much guac. Yes, that is right, to much GUAC. I know how could you have to much guac, but it overpowered the taco. Had to remove some so I could enjoy the tacos. By the way the guac was delicious. Nice texture and flavor. Had it with some chips and heaven. No guac went to waste lol. Overall, Coatzingo Restaurant will be part of my rotation of Mexican restaurants that I enjoy on Roosevelt Ave. Food is hot and tasty. Service is very attentive with a smile. Standard Mexican beers at $5. CASH ONLY. Two last points. I notice lots of families which I like, tells me food is good; and some amazing looking entrees overflowing with color and food. yum.......

    Probably one of the top 3 restaurants in Roosevelt that serves great food and deliveries. I've been a patron for almost 7 years, since meeting my bf and now husband going on dates. The rice and beans is definitely the best in town. Chips and guac is great too, more saucy than chunky so be aware of the difference in authenticity from regions of Mexico. Tacos are so good here, priced at 3 bucks its double wrapped in tortilla and come with salsas. Quesadillas are bb and hold up well for deliveries. The Cemita Torta is great too a must try. Service is fast and worth the visit. Dont get confused with the other Coatzingo named places, this one takes te crown. Oh and yes they have a large selection of Mexican beers :)

    Not really a good taco spot. To me the chicken was terribly unseasoned. Will not return

I haven't been to their other locations in the city, but this was really quite good. My recommendations are the El Gobernador, The Cracken, an aguachile (mango habanero is my fave) and the tuna toastada. The Ceviches are quite boring in my opinion, so go for an aguachile instead. DRinks are great, they have cantaritos and carajillos. What could go wrong if you've got both to choose from. Service is friendly and the ambiance is authentic mexican food plus air condiditoning.

Our server was extremely friendly and helpful, and she was happy to answer all of our questions about the menu. The fish was fresh, and the ceviche was solid, although there was no wow factor. The standout for me was the Molcajete Norteño, the fried octopus with guacamole, which was delicious. The most annoying part of the experience was when a kid came in and turned the music up extremely loud, then started singing a solo and going around asking everyone for tips afterward. We gave him $3 for his effort, but honestly, it was more loud and annoying than entertaining. I'm not even sure if he worked there or was just someone who came in off the street. Overall, the food was solid and the service was friendly, but I'm not exactly counting down the days until my next visit.

Ay Guey is tucked away on an unsuspecting side street where you would not expect to find a bomb Mexican restaurant. When I walked in around 5 pm on a Friday this place was absolutely jumping. One server was not only handling the entire (albeit small) dining room, but was also serving all the drinks for said patrons. He was truly a machine, so much so that I didn't even mind that our drinks took a minute for him to get to. We sat at the bar with him which was small but cozy. He let us know it was still happy hour, so we had our fill of the strongest $10 margaritas I've ever experienced before happy hour ended at 7 pm. Palomas, sangria, and their signature watermelon drink are also included in this happy hour deal. We kicked things off with the best nachos I've ever had. Absolutely loaded with all the toppings, crunchy and delicious. Next, I had the ceviche which was fresh and beautifully made. My date had a sad cheese quesadilla because he's vegetarian - but our server let us know that next time they can throw some veggies in there if we ask so that it's not so sad looking. Our server, despite being busy AF, was in great spirits laughing and joking with us. I would definitely come back here for the food and ambiance. 10/10.

Cozy but not cramped, cute little spot that's great for Summer relaxed vibes and munchies. They're specialized in Latino food and drink. They apparently have a whole flight of Margaritas and/or Mojitos to sample - I'd love to try one sometime, however yesterday I stuck with a regular Margarita and was pretty pleased. Clearly made in-house, none of the store-bought drink mixes or anything involved. My mom and I split a few appetizers between the two of us and were quite full, even had some food to bring home. Went with the birria tacos (solid), a trio of other tacos (steak + chicken + pork), and a plate of fried plantains with beef and mushrooms that was really fun - first time we'd had that, glad the waitress talked us into it. Everything came with home-made guac as well. They have a full bar with quite the selection of drinks, lots of Happy Hour specials up on the walls, and a solid, straightforward menu of additional appetizers and also burgers and sandwiches. The staff are super nice and upbeat. My Ma was buying, and I believe she spent about $85 for 3+ appetizers and a drink. Not exactly cheap but it you think of it more as a filling and fairly tasty lunch for 2, roughly $40 each - it's not bad at all. Will definitely come back and give that flight of Margs a try!
