I had a very good chicken burrito at Coyote Cafe recently. I love their sides there also... the sopa and Mexican rice are delicious. Salsa and queso are also very tasty here.. especially the queso! The service was very friendly ... we got there pretty close to closing time, but they were welcoming and made sure that we got our orders in on time. The restaurant has a smaller room in front adjacent to the street snd a larger dining area and a huge bar as well. Also a nice patio when the weather is good. read more

This review is for their food truck. I had the good fortune of have two tacos after Slow Roll Buffalo last night. They had the perfect blend of flavors with super fresh ingredients. Most food trucks make you wait for your order, but they process orders very fast. Good job! read more

My husband and I hadn't properly explored Hamburg before so we tried out Coyote Cafe. WOW! This place is truly a hidden treasure in downtown Hamburg. You'll know where it is from the cartoon coyote peeking out above the door, which I'm sure littles will get a kick out of. Their menu is fresh and has some interesting Buffalo themed offerings, including Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas and Beef on Weck Chimichangas. They also have bulk offerings of tacos, if you want to have tacos for the next Bills game or just next Saturday night. My husband had Machacas Burritos and I had chicken fajitas. We were not prepared for what we got though! Holy frijoles! The meals were served in generous portions on large plates. My chicken fajitas came smoking hot with not only the full fajita fixings, but also 2 (TWO!) generous helpings of side dishes, spanish rice and fiesta french fries (potato wedges) for me. My husband's burritos were expansive and also came with two sides, refried beans, and sopa de fideo, a sort of Mexican Spaghetti that was delicious! If I had to complain about one thing (not really) it's this: that we had talked about going to the ice cream shop across the street for dessert. But we were so full after leaving Coyote Cafe that neither of us wanted ice cream. This was a Saturday night, and there was a steady crowd of people in and out the door, but somehow this never affected the kitchen nor the waitresses. The waitress seated us right away, and then brought drinks, and chips and salsa. While we were eating the chips, they were preparing our food, but there was really no wait at all, because they brought it out so fast it was amazing! I have been looking for a good Tex-Mex place to make our own, and it looks like Coyote will be our go-to place for a long time to come. I'm already looking forward to the next time we can go back! You have to go here! read more

After a Yelp Elite event in Coyote Café's back patio, I was looking for a bit more to fill me up for dinner so I decided to grab something from their dine-in menu and all-in-all, it was good. Around 7:30pm on a Wednesday night, I stepped out from the spacious back patio and into the bar room and immediately had a lovely young woman take my order from behind the bar. I had looked at the menu online beforehand so I knew what I wanted so the ordering and cashout process was quick and easy. I couldn't grab a spot at the bar since it was packed, but luckily there were a couple of tables in the corner that had chairs. For dinner, I ordered a four-piece Beef Birria and Horsey quesadilla (shredded beef, house-made horsey (horseradish) sauce, and onion cilantro), which came with a side of sour cream. This was pretty good! There was plenty of beef and cheese in each slice and the onion cilantro was a strong, good flavor. The beef itself was cooked perfectly and was tender and juicy. I really wish there had been more of their house-made horsey sauce in and on this quesadilla - that's what drew me to this in the first place! The little bit of sauce I did taste was great. I should've asked for a cup, or two, of it on the side instead of the sour cream. This was good but not my favorite quesadilla. Since I had eaten a bit of chips and salsa and a few other items before, this did the trick in satisfying my hunger for the night. The price for this too was very reasonable I thought. Coyote Café gives off vibes of being a local spot with its loyal customers and locals who want a place to sit, drink, catch up and nibble on something. It's not glamorous inside, but it's not a hole-in-the-wall/dive bar-type of place either. I wouldn't make a point to come back to Coyote Café but if I was in the neighborhood with a group of co-workers, or friends, and they wanted to meet here, I wouldn't have any issues with it. read more

Three of us ordered Birria tacos. We were let down. They were very bland.The consumme had no flavor. This is my second time there and I don't see anything special about this place. read more

Last minute decision to check this place out....the waitress Abby is exceptional. While the restaurant was extremely busy she was attentive and kept a smile on her face the entire time. The complimentary chips and salsa were great! We had the enchiladas, nachos and fajitas as our main course. Delicious. We will be eating leftovers for a week. ( ). But seriously get to Coyote. Ask for Abby. She was the highlight of the experience beyond the exceptional food! We will be back read more

Stayed in Hamburg visiting friends and brought our girls here for a quick lunch before we headed home. The bar and outdoor areas are super chill! I would love to sit out there in the evening with a margarita! It's your typical Mexican restaurant menu/food items. I got a chicken quesadilla and the girls got the kids make your own taco meals. My friend got a burrito with something called Mexican spaghetti that she said was delicious. read more

I eat here every time I return to Buffalo and I'm here again now. Ordered the enchilada pack (or whatever its called). Came with 6 enchiladas, tray of a side, queso, 2x salsa, and chips. I have no idea how this place gets less than a 4 star rating. One of the sides is something called sopa de fideo which is mexican spaghetti which i've never found elsewhere and is amazing. Their queso used to be the same which was this orange color queso. Now its a white queso and tastes like everywhere else. Nothing special about it. Also ordered the corn dip for the first time and it was pretty solid. Fed 3 people with many leftovers. read more

Aline is top notch! She was helpful in suggesting cocktails and entrees! Try the special mojitos and margaritas, very fun combinations (blueberry, coconut, etc.)! For entrees we enjoyed monster burrito, chimichanga, and the steak quesadilla (our favorite)! Ample parking in back lot off of Long Avenue. read more

We were greeted promptly by staff upon entering the cafe and taken to our seats where our drink requests were taken almost immediately. With so many menu options and those amazing chips and salsa I think we took a little more time than usual ordering. Of course our favorite go to was on the menu so wet had to get the fundidio queso and chips. I think we both hit chip and dip overload at that point (a classic mistake). But we ultimately went with the , Chicken bacon ranch quesadilla, 8pc. Big portion with great flavors throughout, even though I just had a few it definitely didn't disappoint. Our little yelper loves quesadillas, and gave hers the thumbs up. Which is good (plus the music had her dancing on the bench ). The misses ordered the chicken fajitas with rice and beans, the protein side of the dish was great and the rice was good but sadly the beans were really quite bland. We've had those at several spots but these just felt like it needed something more. Overall though great service, good food. We would definitely come back. read more

The Coyote Cafe is a great stop in Hamburg. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as we rolled in later than planned. The restaurant was clean and welcoming atmosphere.

Coyote Cafe - Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hamburg, New York

Nothing special food wise. There is better Mexican. Didn't love the queso cheese sauce - it didn't have a lot of flavor. Rice was dry and hard. The chicken in the enchiladas also was really dry. The staff was so so nice and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Service was fast and friendly. Margaritas were okay, I got the strawberry with sugar rim and again just seemed like there wasn't a lot of flavor. Probably wouldn't go back again unless invited by someone else. read more

Booked a reservation over a month ago for 20 people to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. One day before the event, owner Jeff Giovani informs us we no longer have our event space but can sit outside in the rain under a tent. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable. Obviously very poor management. read more

My trip to Coyote Cafe was certainly an interesting one! I love Mexican food, so I was excited to try out this place! I will give you the heads up, it's not authentic Mexican cuisine, but it was still pretty decent, just not my absolute favorite. One thing I did love was how big the portions were! You will definitely have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We stopped by around happy hour, so be sure to take advantage of the specials! I recommend the seasonal sangria! The other thing that I loved about this spot was the music... I felt like I was reliving my early high school days and I couldn't stop singing along in between bites of my burrito! Oh yeah, be sure to get the queso too, it was really good! read more

The place was a little smaller than it looks from outside but it had a nice Mexican feel to it. Our server was very friendly and we were immediately greeted upon entering. Like most Mexican places we were given chips & salsa, two different kinds of salsa; both were very good with one slightly hotter than the other. I had the giant burrito with chicken and it was really very big and equally as delicious. My wife went with a chimichanga with chorizo that was also big and delicious. The sides we got (choice of 2 each) were the sopa, frijoles, and Spanish rice, each of which was very good. We both had drinks as well which were also very good and not overpriced. Overall we will definitely be back, in fact we don't know what took us so long to try this place honestly! read more

2 stars for this rating comes for the staff. The staff were very friendly, we were seated immediately, and our waitress was great. The other 3 stars should be for the quality of food, which was lacking. Generally speaking, WNY tends to not have good Mexican food, but this is understandable considering its proximity to Mexico. This doesn't always hold true though as we do have some very authentic food from some other cuisines. That being said, the flavor was lacking. My birria taco was dry, tasteless, the dipping sauce was bland, and the "Mexican pasta" was interesting, to say the least. All the sides tasted like they were from a box. I'm surprised that there was an up-charge for the Mexican beans. I did like the complimentary bean dip which came with the chips and mildest salsa though. I was a huge fan of it, but it doesn't make up for the flavor of the other food. I do understand that one wouldn't expect to have comparably mild seasoned flavored food in Hamburg, but I didn't expect to be this mild. If you see my reviews, you will see that I rarely post 2 star reviews, and I hate to post this one. From what I hear, Coyote Cafe has been in this location for decades, so I do believe that the locals appreciate their food. I won't be coming back, but if you like extremely mild flavored Mexican themed food, or a place to introduce Mexicanish food to family and friends who aren't familiar with it, this is your place. read more

Admittedly, I have not tried a ton of their offerings. However, the ambiance inside, competent staff, happy hour specials, tacos, and their outdoor patio setup are amazing! I will definitely be frequenting this place often! It is more upscale than standard Mexican restaurants that all have nearly identical decor and menus, without being priced significantly higher, if at all. They also participate in fun village events too. read more

Coyote Cafe - Outdoor back patio vibes. Absolutely huge & a great Mexican inspired ambiance. - Mexican Near Me - Hamburg, New York

Food is 10/10 and the service is the same! The ambience is a Mexican restaurant and overall you should definitely eat here!

We stopped in for a drink and a small bite to eat. We ordered a house margarita and a Corona premier to start. They offered free chips and salsa with our beverages. We also had a Chicken burrito with spinach and tomato with a side of sopa de friedo. The burrito wasn't great but it was okay. The sopa pasta was pretty good though. I don't think I'd stop there again unless it was just for a drink. read more

Coyote Cafe is hands down one of the best spots in the Village, especially if you're looking for a place that's **handicap accessible**! Thrilled to find that the patio was easy to navigate, and my scooter rolled right up with no hassle. Whether you're enjoying the patio or relaxing under the big tent, it's clear they care about making the space accessible for everyone. The prices were great --we especially loved the new Early Bird Special Buffet for just $7! Great value and even better food! We had a fantastic Saturday, complete with live music. (Great band!) Thank you, Coyote Cafe, for a wonderful time! read more

Chaotic experience. We went on a Tuesday, saw a line of people for the host counter, and found out when one helpful lady told us to flag down a certain guy who was on the phone to get added to the wait list. There were no signs designating their procedures. We would have stood there in line for nothing if we weren't given that tip. My wife received one of those buzzers that alerts you when you're table is ready. I headed to the bar, found a space (not a seat, a space) and waited for service. And waited. And waited. And waited some more. The 2 bartenders were obviously working hard but there was no method to the madness. My wife found me and was able to secure a seat, I remained standing. I still was not able to get the attention of any bar staff. Well, finally my wife flagged her down. I saw a happy hour special, so ordered 2 Blue Lights. There were some very low priced happy hour food specials, so we decided to just order one of those rather than keep waiting for a table. So after more waiting we were able to flag the bartender and ordered chicken nachos to split. She was nice enough to provide chips and salsa while we waited. I do have to say that every dinner that we saw leaving the kitchen looked very appealing. It did not take long for our nachos to arrive, and the saving grace of our visit was how good these nachos were. We finished those up and were satisfied. If the nachos weren't so good, I probably would have given Coyote Cafe 2 stars at best. By the time we finished our food and drinks, our buzzer still had not alerted us of a table. We had been at the bar over an hour and the restaurant was fairly busy, but did not appear overwhelmingly busy. I wonder if the guy at the front never set the buzzer. Because we only ordered happy hour specials, we paid $11 for drinks and food, not including tip, but had we been seated we would have spent much more on a full dinner. Our food was great, the food we saw others receive looked great, but they really need to get some kind of system in place to serve customers more efficiently. read more

Met a couple friends here for happy hour on a Friday. They had several drink and food specials for happy hour from 4-6. We chose margaritas and beer for drinks and chicken quesadillas for food. The service was good, the food was tasty and we had a nice time sitting outside on the patio. Would definitely come back for happy hour as the deals were fairly reasonable and the patio is large with lots of tables. They were going to have a dj later, but we didn't stay that long. read more

I'm surprised this place has such good reviews. Hubby and I went there for dinner on a Tuesday night in August 2019, and we have regretted it ever since. The floor was very sticky all over the place and the smell reminded me of a dirty bar. Even the seats and the tables felt sticky, and it didn't help that our table was never properly cleaned and there were still remnants of food left on it. I'm not sure if they don't have AC or were just too cheap to turn it on, but it was August and the front door was wide open, which was not only uncomfortable but we had to deal with annoying flies (and fruit flies) through our entire dinner. We ordered the following: pico de gallo salsa -dry and lacked flavor, which was surprising since all the ingredients should naturally burst with flavor, but it just tasted stale and gross; Guacamole - weird sour taste, i stopped eating it after first bite; chicken fajitas without peppers - not terrible but I didn't like how the chicken was chopped into tiny pieces because that made the meat dry. The sour cream was warm which I also didn't like, but it didn't taste spoiled so I just gave it to my husband. He ordered the steak chimichanga with queso and said it was OK, but he hated the refried beans and said it looked and tasted like cat food. Lastly, he also didn't like the Mexican rice cause it was dry and flavorless. Oh and I almost forgot - they only had Frank's hot sauce! What kind of Mexican restaurant doesn't have some kind of Mexican hot sauce??? And if I recall correctly, they had an extremely sad beer list which only solidified my husband's decision that he will never return. Finally, our waitress was not attentive at all and was often nowhere to be found. We were so disappointed because it's kind of the only Mexican place around Hamburg, but the good news is that we have started to make tacos and fajitas at home a lot more since then, so I guess in a way - it worked out for us! read more

Forever to get seated in a half empty restaurant on a Saturday afternoon, there were only two of us. Finally seated and waited more than 10 minutes for no one to come take our drink order. We were seated at a bar table so we were in clear vision of the staff working the bar. The hostess at one point even went and told someone behind the bar she had seated us a while back. The menus are checked regularly either. Mine had dried cheese drippings and still wet salsa inside. I guess everyone was too occupied by the even going on in the room next to where our table was located. We left. read more

I love Cayote Cafe so much! Out of all the American-Mexican places I've visited around Buffalo, this is by far my favorite. Their portions are absolutely huge for a great price, you will almost always have to bring the rest home. For me, you can always tell how great a place is by their chips, and their chips are great! Their drinks aren't the best, I've had their mojito before and it was very bitter. Their sangria also has too much seltzer and not enough wine. Sangria should be a bright red not a light pink, but that might just be preference. Aside from the drinks, I've never had issues with their food and their staff is always incredibly friendly and accommodating. Recommend x100000 read more

Coyote Cafe - Chavez nachos, 8 piece quesadilla, chips and salsa, margarita - Mexican Near Me - Hamburg, New York

We wanted Mexican and decided to order from a local small business as we know they are taking a hit during our "COVID MicroCluster Level Orange." We had a lot of trouble with the website. The online menu did not have great descriptions of everything. Then when we went to do the online order, not everything on the menu was available to order online. (Fish tacos & taco salad) it was also pretty unclear as the categories on the regular online menu did not match the onions ordering menu. We were very frustrated and decided to just call the restaurant. Calling was completely fine, the person who took my call was great and it only took a few minutes. Pick up went great. They had a huge thing of hand sanitizer - thank you! It was really fast I just ran in and they had everything all bagged up and ready. My meal was delicious - I had the fish tacos and I had them battered. I got the side of sopa and Mexican potatoes. The sopa was yummy and the Mexican potatoes were not very good. They were chopped fried potatoes with a bit of seasoning on them. Maybe they were too cold when I got to them, but I was expecting something packed with flavor and crispy with a fluffy center and these were bland and dry, I won't order them again. We ordered an appetizer, it was the Carlos poppers. They were awesome! An entire stuffed banana pepper breaded and fried and covered in queso. Very very good. My husband had the double decker Quesadilla in buffalo chicken. We ended up not liking this very much. It was so much food and it was soaked and sloppy. He had some. Then I tried some and we ended up throwing out half of this thing. It was cool in theory, but we ended up not being impressed and won't order this again. I have gone back and forth on the star rating here. I decided on a 4 star review because the fish tacos and the poppers were so delicious. Next time we won't mess around with any quesadilla or sides. read more
