Last night we decided to try something new for Taco Tuesday and checked out Coyote Taqueria, loved the fast casual vibe of the restaurant, the staff were so friendly and accommodating! We let them know it was our first time and they walked us through what to expect, you order at the counter then head to the other side of the restaurant to the kitchen area where they call out your ticket number, but what I loved about it most was that when they called your ticket number you were able to customize your tacos right there, made to order. The restaurant was so busy and I can confidently tell you it was because the food was OUTSTANDING! My family ordered tacos, Adobada, Carne, Birria were all fresh and amazing, we also ordered Carne Fries for an appetizer and they were delicious, the perfect mix of crunchy fries and fresh toppings. From the cooks in the kitchen to the sweet girls working the register the staff was amazing. Love this place! Definitely give them a try if you are in the area! We can't wait to go back. Ps no photos because we were drooling over the food and couldn't wait to eat! read more

We called this taqueria to ask if they had buche tacos, and to our surprise they said yes! We couldn't get there fast enough. Most taquerias don't serve buche, so our little hearts were overjoyed to find one that does. This spot feels cozy and very inviting from the décor to their wide variety of agua frescas. My favorite is the pepino con limón with chia seeds, and I can't wait to try more! They have a taco happy hour on Taco Tuesday: most tacos are $1.99, with the exception of buche, tripa, and cabeza, which are regular price. Their fries are so yummy! We're big fans of the asada fries, but recently we've become hooked on the adovada fries simply scrumptious. In just one week, we went back three times (check my check-ins, lol). The staff who cook and prep the meats are incredibly kind and friendly. The cashiers, however, could use a little work they sometimes have a sour demeanor, which is a bit off-putting. This place can get busy, and it can get a little messy during the rush, but overall it's well-maintained. Note: Their bottled beverages are expensive $4.99 for a Jarritos. You're better off getting a large agua fresca for the same price and more beverage. parking is limited because of all the other shopping centers there so you may have to park far. read more

Absolutely amazing! The carne asada fries were loaded, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The quesa taco de birria was incredibly juicy with rich consommé that took it to another level, and the quesa taco al pastor had the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and crispiness. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The Tacos are loaded on the big corn tortillas and your food is made to order and you can pick and choose toppings when they call your number. On top of the great food, the customer service was outstanding--friendly, fast, and welcoming. Definitely one of the best spots around. Highly recommend! read more

Ok, I feel crazy reading the positive reviews here since my experience was very different. I got the fish tacos and the fish were cooked to absolute death - see pic attached. Didn't finish eating them. I also got the nachos which were so ugly that I didn't even snap a photo. You can watch them assemble your food through the glass, so I saw that the nacho chips were poured from a bag directly into a styrofoam container and cold shredded cheese was added on top. There was no attempt to melt the cheese whatsoever. It was disgusting and definitely not worth the $12. Will not be coming back. read more

Tried this place last Tuesday for taco tuesday and it was okay. Kinda disappointed with the service and the tacos. It was pretty pricey too , we spent $75 ..We ordered about 26 tacos all together .. the asada, adobada and carnitas and they were salty. Also the way the packaged our orders was messy, they only use small plates for the tacos and the sauces went everywhere.. all over the bag and didn't come with any utensils or napkins or anything. Also didn't get a receipt and we were short a few tacos when we checked at home. Not sure if they charged me correctly . We also tried 1 cali burrito , that was a little better and the portion was big. Maybe we will try this place again another time but the first impression was not it. read more

¡Sin error alguno haber venido a este lugar! Llegas al restaurante y lo primero que observas son sus aguas frescas - SON NATURALES! No sabía ni cuál escoger... el menú super rico y como soy fan de carnitas pedí una torta, un taco y una papa de asada... mi esposo pidió una mula... lo cual estaba deliciosa. Tienen una barra de salsas mexicanas, para todos los gustos. Los baños estaban limpios. El restaurant se encuentra en una plaza comercial por ende consigues parking. Por qué no le di 5 estrellas? Porque las carnitas y mi torta estaban fríos. Espero regresar pronto porque al final nos sorprendieron con una bandeja de fruta: UN LUJO! Felicidades... una maravilla de comida. read more

I really like this place. I'm glad it's in Menifee. The food, service, and environment is always clean, good, and friendly. I only have one complaint is that they have an Al Pastor "Trompo" but they don't cut the meat onto the tortilla as expected. They serve precut Al Pastor from a serving dish like the other meats. It ruins the experience and flavor as straight from a trompo is way better than soggy meat sitting in some dish. I will still come back just skip on Al Pastor if they keep serving it that way. read more

This is my favorite taco place in Menifee. The tacos are so good! The cashiers are nice and cooks aren't exactly smiling but that's because they are hustling, no one is sitting, they're working hard and they're heroes in my eyes. The tacos are fresh and delicious! read more

Always good food. The drink was good just not used to Jamaica not being so sweet. The tacos are great and a lot of flavor. Two separate rooms, one where you order and seating, other room is pick up and condiments. Workers are always helpful and cooking guy is fast so be ready to answer his questions. Haha read more

Found this gem on Yelp. Wanted some tacos and let me tell you, did not disappoint! I ordered a mulita and adobado fries which both were huge! They pack it all on too. Made in front of you which I love and the person making the food will ask you if you want chili or onions etc. both delicious! Hubby ordered papa asada which again packed on and filling! He also ordered a taco sonora which was also huge and he said was delicious! Our little girls had fries and plain asada tacos which they enjoyed. I had a horchata and hubby had the cucumber aqua which were the best and so refreshing! Not too sweet either. Overall, it was delicious and price wise reasonable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Place was clean and open. Great place! Thank you! read more

Food was really good. Tacos de asada and adobada were filled with meat and guacamole. Flavor was on point. Kids had the asada fries and potato they were happy with their meals. They had a variety of aguas frescas I got the strawberry and mango flavor it was perfect. The service was good and ambience was more of a fast food eatery than a sit down. We ate there didn't want our food to get cold. I will definitely come back and recommend. 10/10 read more

Coyote Taqueria instantly gives off a real Mexico vibe--bright, fun, and full of energy. The staff is super cool and makes you feel right at home the second you walk in. The menu is spot on, with just the right amount of options so you're not overwhelmed but still have plenty to choose from. I went for the adobada burrito and it did not disappoint. The meat was packed with flavor--seriously fire--and their aguachile salsa was so fresh and tasty with just the right kick. If you're craving authentic flavors in a laid-back spot, this place is a must. read more

Coyote Taqueria - VAMPIROS my favorite. - Mexican Near Me - Menifee, California

We came to Coyote Taqueria for lunch today and were blown away by the food. Sitrep: This taqueria place is family run and is located near the UPS store on Newport and Murrieta. Everything is made fresh and to order. The cashier is located to the right as you come in, where you place your order You pay and then step over to the left near the Al Pastore spit and wait your turn. They will call your number, cut your meat and ask what you want added to it: Cilantro, onions, pico de gallo, etc. It's a quick wait and there is a topping bar to your left, see photos. Both my friend and I were blown away by the quality and tastiness of our food. He orders a Chicken Torta and I had the Al Pastore burrito. Tons of meat, see photos. Expect to pay between $13 for burritos and $3 to $5 for tacos. Acqua drinks and Mexican Cokes are $4 to $5 each. But it's a great deal for the amount of quality, tasty food you get. Delicious Enjoy. read more

These are probably the best tacos in menifee however the onions need to be cut smaller period

This is the best taco place I have been to in a LONG TIME this area doesn't have great tacos. The tacos at Coyote Taqueria have soft tortillas (not hard and fall apart), asada is perfection, cucumber Fresca is the best with the watermelon a close 2nd and you aren't charged for every single topping. The cashier was so sweet and the guys cooking were fast! Are go to taco, burrito, and mulita place. Please don't ever change. read more

I give them 4.5 stars. This score is relative to the food in the area. I've had much better tacos in TJ and SD, but what that being said, for the area, they are good, and I definitely consider a go to spot for Mexican food in the area. The tortas and mulitas are 5 stars! The queso tacos and birria tacos are 4 stars, regular tacos probably 3.5. I like the adobada , chicharron, birria and asada so far. I didn't like the papa asada or burrito, and the tortillas are just okay. But the torta bread is top notch, and the agua frescas also top notch! Service is great as well. Hot sauce bar is delicious, definitely give them a try. read more

We have been going to the Krak Boba which was a few doors down. I would always hear the music and smell the aroma of the food that made my mouth water. Well we finally made our few days ago here and the lady up front with glasses assisted us. Forgive me, I did not catch her name but she was very sweet and patient. Let me tell you, I got to sample all the Aguas Frescas flavors and they were all delicious! Got the melon aguas fresca & carne asada fries! Let me tell you, my husband & I agree that this is our favorite taqueria now! Our go to! After a few days we made our way here again and tried the carne asada nachos and strawberries fresca! Sooo delicious! Cannot wait to try the other items on the menu! read more

We typically come here to satisfy our taco Tuesday cravings and in my opinion probably has the best street tacos from a brick and mortar establishment. There are a few pop up taco stands and truck that are close by that are good but this place is available as a walk in and has e good number of tables to eat in. Check them out if you're in the area craving good street tacos and agua frescas. read more

Coyote Taqueria - Agua de Sandía - Mexican Near Me - Menifee, California

Me and my husband ate tacos 4x in 2 days should tell ya something! We've had the quesadilla tacos, tacos and burritos, all were amazing :)

Had the Carnitas burrito w/ rice, cheese onion and cilantro ($12.99)and a Cucumber agua fresca ($4.99 Lg). Waited about 15 minutes to have my food prepared. Salsa bar was not fresh, Burrito was good but needed a little bit of salt, avocado salsa didn't taste like avocado and had no salt, but the agua Fresca was the best part, not too sweet. One of the "griddles" used inside did not have an extractor so there was smoke and the front of restaurant was a bit hot. There was a large fan on a table in the back that made it manageable, although they did have AC on it wasn't enough. Bathroom was ok, could use some attention. Overall, if I'm in the area I would eat there again. Staff was friendly. read more
