    Before I even get into anything: the habanero salsa is key to the meal's completion. I hope I was charged extra for the amount I consumed. It was worth it. My innards will burn for 48hrs. We arrived 530p, escaping the 96 degree beating sun into a packed reception area. 'It will be about 15 minutes, maybe less, for a table unless you want to sit outside?' No inside please we desire the AC, I replied. We took a seat across from an obese family looking the epitome of Cali to Idaho within the month transplant: each member (apart from the teenage child) of this absolute UNIT was clad in some variation of Red/White/Blue/Punisher gear. I attempted to make eye contact with the boss hog. He stared off unflinchingly to the brightly lit bar area; probably thinking about how nice it would be to abandon his family and go back into bar. I was correct, I thought, as he did stand and asked the hostess if he could wait in the bar area. "No sir, that's also seating only" begrudgingly, he sat back down next to his family. The hostess was spot on and 10 minutes later we were sat in a tastefully designed mostly beige and wood booth. Only minutes after sitting the sweet, but large, blue rimmed glass chalices housing the margs arrived. The Serrapĩna is not spicy enough, my wife says; North Idaho spicy I think, practically lava with a quick punch of serrano at the front. We order the Oaxaca Bowl (for health) and deluxe fajitas (for the sizzle). I was shocked how quickly the food arrived. 6 minutes maybe less?!? I was, sadly, dismayed that the sizzle did not flood the table in smoke. Food was good. No complaints, crowd pleasers all around. VERY LARGE portions. I gauge a Tex-Mex resturant by the quality of their chile relleno and Coyol preformed, with the best chile relleno in CDA. Whitney, our server, was great. Positive and a go-getter. I loved the part where she demonstrated the size of an order of xangos while clearing our plates. She had to set the plates down to motion with two hands. Coyol is a great spot for a large group looking to fill themselves and have some libations. Very clean well managed with a crowd. Will need to return and try more options.

    I'll consider this a partial review because I'd already had dinner so I only got to try the cucumber jalapeño margarita and the chile relleno + a few bites of others dishes. BUT from what I had it was full of flavor and honestly comparable in price to most sit down Mexican food places in town. As an add on bonus, you get the gorgeous and clean interior with great service. It reminds me of a restaurant you'd eat at on the coast of Mexico, that beachy natural interior with modern lines. Will be back for more!

Quesabirrias. 5/5 Steak tacos. 4.8/5 Seafood Chimichanga. 4/5 Beans. 3.5/5 Rice. 4.5/5 Queso. 4/5 (very rich) Guacamole. 4/5 Service. 5/5 The Seafood Chimichanga had mini scallops, shrimp and thinly sliced calamari. Great experience. Plenty of parking.

    What can I say about Coyol. CDA is lucky to have this authentic Mexican restaurant gem. Upon entering I was greeted and seated right away. The aromas in the restaurant and the plates coming out the kitchen were all amazing. I had the parrillada for one but it was enough for at least two people. They definitely weren't shy with the portions. It was delicious but under seasoned for my liking. I also had the pork belly bites and OMG this app definitely hit the spot. Coyol will be a top mexican restaurant in CDA while the wait times are short. I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

    D: all of the above The only bad thing about this place is that it hasn't been here forever - A++++++ across the board! The pork belly was amazing, tacos were fire, margs on point! I can't say bad thing about the place, and the staff were a delight! It makes sense why it's so busy, you gotta try it

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at the new Mexican restaurant in Coeur d'Alene, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! We sat at the bar and the bar tender was amazing! They have only been open a week and have it dialed in!! The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. They guided us through the menu, offering wonderful recommendations based on our preferences. The tacos were authentic, with perfectly seasoned meat and fresh toppings. The enchiladas were creamy and delicious, and the guacamole was made fresh right at our table--definitely a highlight! Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in the area. The combination of excellent service, delightful ambience, and mouthwatering food makes it a gem in Coeur d'Alene. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu!

    Amazing Service! We had little to no wait time both times we've been there! Food was so fresh and phenomenal! I loved the mucho nachos appetizer! I had the Tradicion Coyol and the asador carne asada. The traditional Coyol didn't really have a sauce which I was thinking it would, it's diced poblanos and cheese which was still full of flavor and great! The asador carne asada was great but doesn't come cut up which would be easier to eat but all still very delicious and great fresh flavors! The service was very attentive and fantastic! Food came out very quickly which is great when you have a starving husband and little mouths to feed!!

    We couldn't wait to come back! This time I ordered the pork belly tacos and the chile relleno--both were absolutely incredible. They were, without a doubt, the best pork belly tacos I've ever had, and the chile relleno was just as amazing. We'll definitely be back!

    Went here with friends for first time. Reviews a bit on the high side for what we experienced. However very decent. The chips were very good and white salsa very interesting and tasted good. The red salsa not enough spice IMO. We were told the guacamole appetizer was fantastic but found it average. I had the steak fajitas . Large potion of meat but yet again not the most flavorful. Also needed to be served hotter. Sizzling platter is real way to go.The rice and beans meh. My wife had a shredded beef taco and chili rellano. Taco average and chile rellano was excellent. The winner in the group was the ribeye tacos. Very tasty and looked amazing. As far as drinks all very good. Had a glass of wine , Modelo draft, jack Daniel's and water over and the outstanding thing was the margarita. My wife disappeared they don't serve margaritas blended. I consider myself as an honest reviewer dining frequently at Mexican cuisine. This atmosphere and design is very nice but a little less volume on the background music would be better. I know the restaurant is new and please take this as positive criticism. I rate it at 3 1/2 but give it a four as server was great and very attetive.

    Wow! Just the kind of Mexican restaurant CDA needed! The space itself is super cute, and the food and drinks are delicious! I wish I took photos of our food. We waited less than our wait time and the food came out super fast. Definitely will be coming back.

    Taco Salad
    Ellen S.

    The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and so well done. The staff are all super friendly, the atmosphere is just perfect! I had the taco salad and it was just ok. There wasn't much flavor and I didn't love the shredded lettuce and I missed cheese, onion and guacamole. The salsa wasn't spicy and I miss that when I eat Mexican food . I will try again but I'll pass on the taco salad.

    6.11.26: Always looking to try new places for Mexican food and Las Chavelas was on my list. Today…read morewe finally came in for late lunch, arriving right after 3p. We were greeted and immediately taken to a cute booth with beautiful scenery painted on the table and hand painted flowers on the back of the booths. It was nicely bright and a welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Billie, took our drink order, dropped off warm chips and 2 salsas: hot and mild, and gave us time to look over the menu. Both salsas were tasty and of course, I preferred the spicy one. Also it just hit better with the warm homemade tortilla chips. I went with my fav drink of Horchata and liked how they noted 1 refill. The horchata was ice cold and delicious--it didn't have that waxy taste like some horchatas I've had before. I ordered the #33 Spicy Shrimp with Rice and Beans and my roommate got the daily special of 1 Enchilada and 1 Taco with Rice and Beans and with a cup of chicken tortilla soup. My roommate LOVED the soup and said it was chunks of chicken vs shredded chicken. He really liked the flavor and plans to get it again. Our plates arrived super hot, which I'm a fan of--I'd rather wait for my food to cool down some vs your first bite being luke-warm. The shrimp wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, and that's partially my fault because I should have asked about the spice level. I like and can handle a lot of heat lol. Nonetheless, the shrimp had great flavor and the guacamole was bright and fresh and so good. The hot corn tortillas with the HOT rice and beans just paired so well together. My roommate tends to get the same plate, just at different restaurants. He said his combo plate was a winner and really liked the season on the rice. Billie did a fabulous job taking care of us today and we'll definitely be back.

    Thirty-five years of living in Arizona, with virtually every regional cuisine of Mexico…read morerepresented, will spoil you for what much of the country north of the border states calls "Mexican food." My wife's home is here in Coeur d'Alene, and we have often lamented the lack of a truly good Mexican restaurant. There are certainly places serving perfectly acceptable food, but most cater heavily to American tastes. There are also a couple of more authentic taquerias, but finding a restaurant with a broader, genuinely Mexican menu has been difficult. Authenticity and popularity are not mutually exclusive. Most Mexican restaurants in the United States, including authentic ones, adapt to local tastes by offering familiar American favourites alongside traditional regional dishes. Arizona's famous El Charro in Tucson and Macayo's in Phoenix, both with deep Sonoran roots, proudly claim to have invented the chimichanga, while readily acknowledging that it is an American creation rather than an authentic Mexican dish. Nachos occupy much the same category. Their presence on the menu tells you very little about how authentic the rest of the restaurant is. The better question is whether the kitchen also prepares traditional Mexican dishes with the same care and authenticity. Today we found the closest thing to authentic northern Mexican cuisine that we've experienced in the Coeur d'Alene area: Junior's Cocina Mexicana. It would fit comfortably into the greater Phoenix restaurant scene as a solid northern Mexican restaurant, with just a slight nod and wink to American tastes. We visited at lunchtime. The lunch menu was more limited than the dinner menu but still offered a good variety, and a full dinner menu was also available. We were served complimentary corn tortilla chips with a very good house salsa. The chips were the standard thicker commercial variety rather than homemade, but they were fresh and crisp. I've had worse in Nogales and Puerto Peñasco. The salsa was excellent. I'd place it at the upper end of mild, although our server, Monty, mentioned that many customers consider it quite spicy. We also asked for the hot salsa, which uses essentially the same recipe but adds more jalapeño along with habanero peppers. To my palate it was pleasantly warm rather than truly hot, which is exactly where I like it. Too many restaurants serve chunky tomato-and-onion mixtures with the texture of pico de gallo but very little flavor or heat. Junior's salsa had a pleasant smoky flavor, a finely chopped consistency, and just the right thickness for dipping. I'd rate the salsa 4/5. My wife ordered the chile relleno, served with rice and beans. The roasted poblano was stuffed with melted cheese, probably Monterey Jack, as Oaxaca cheese is not commonly available in this area, then properly coated in an egg batter before frying. She rated it "good." Her rating scale runs from inedible, to "not bad" (which still isn't good), to good, very good, and finally the coveted "delicious." After tasting it myself, I agreed. It was enjoyable, but not exceptional. I'd give it 3/5. I chose the green pork Chile Hermanos, although I'm still not sure what the "Hermanos" (brothers) has to do with the dish. It came with rice, refried beans, a small lettuce-and-tomato salad, and tortillas. I chose corn tortillas. They were not homemade, but they had good flavor, pleasant texture, and held together well. The Chile Hermanos itself was delicious. It was milder than I expected but packed with flavor. The pork was tender and properly cooked, although it could have benefited from a little more depth and richness. The menu also offers pork carnitas at dinner, and I'll plan to try those on a future visit. The rice was light, fluffy, and flavorful rather than sticky or heavy, and the refried beans were creamy without becoming the thick, pasty mass that too often accompanies Mexican meals. I'd rate the Chile Hermanos about 3 1/2/5, with both the rice and beans earning 4/5. The restaurant itself is colorful, comfortable, and inviting, with an attractive patio. Everyone we encountered was friendly and accommodating, and Monty was an excellent, knowledgeable server who happily answered our questions and accommodated our requests. Overall, I'd give Junior's 4/5 for atmosphere and service, about 3 1/2 to 4/5 for the food, and 4/5 for value. While the menu still leans somewhat toward the American expectation of Mexican cuisine, the execution is noticeably more authentic than most restaurants in the area. We will certainly be back, and after a few more visits I may adjust some of these ratings.

It's not like in Los Angeles where you can't walk 1 mile down the street without tripping over a taco truck. That being said, I think the Mexican Food Factory (MFF) could hold it's own even in SoCal. Here are some reasons to try it; 1. Fresh ingredients. Especially the taco sauce. It tastes like it is made that morning. Seasoned but not overwhelmed with habanero or something. Delicious. Meats are not oily but still very tender and juicy. Ground beef is even juicy and tender. Did I mention the fresh taco sauce? 2. Cooking style. It's fast and made to order. Wait is short but realistic considering they are making your order as it comes in. Nothing prepared and sitting under a heat lamp ahead of time. They even toast the soft tortillas which is a huge flavor enhancer. They don't have gourmet ceviche or swordfish tacos but if you like distinct and discernable flavors in your meals it works here. 3. Small shop vibe. Cinderblock style place with an eating area outside at least as big as inside. Bright murals painted upon it. It's next to a road but traffic is slow and not too noisy. Clean as can be. Same employees in the kitchen for many months. 4. Value. If you shop around and are honest with yourself, I think you will agree that prices are not nice to us now. I don't know where else to find the quality of ingredients, speed of service, and no drama atmosphere at these prices. The daily specials are the way to try a lot of different things over time with a cost savings. Taco Tuesday crunch-fest awaits. Improvement? Yes of course. Open on the weekend please. In the name of all things Holy. We need our after church enchiladas. Also small size street tacos are needed. Radish, lime, cilantro, cotija crumbled on Lengua on a 4 inch soft tortilla. I'll take 6 of those to go down to the lake for a nice lunch. Por favor.
