This place absolutely exceeded expectations. I went in with pretty low hopes--Yelp reviews usually steer me right, but they definitely missed the mark here in the best way. The atmosphere outside was perfect, especially with the warm weather. Inside felt a little average, so I'd say this is definitely more of a summer/outdoor spot. We started with chips, queso, and the salsa with peppers. The chips were just right--crunchy without being overly greasy. The queso was excellent, especially with the crispy top, and the salsa had a great balance of flavor and spice. My girlfriend ordered the chimichanga, and it was spot on. The shell was perfectly crisp and the meat inside was flavorful and tender. I got the off-menu fajitas with steak and shrimp--absolutely amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly, the shrimp was flavorful, and the grilled onions tied it all together. Even the rice on the side impressed me, which doesn't usually happen. We wrapped things up with churros for dessert. They were decent--not a standout, but still a nice finish. All of that for around $50? I was seriously impressed. Great meal, great service, and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

Coyotes's is Five Star. The food is delicious and plentiful. The drinks-Margaritas are strong and you get a lot for the money! The staff are friendly and on point. The wait time for staff is nonexistent, even at lunch time. read more

A true Tex-Mex cantina, Coyote's is a new Decatur favorite. As a Texan, I grew up in humble but delicious spots like this, and Coyote's really, really reminds me home. We stopped in for a casual Sunday lunch and settled in on their spacious and accommodating patio. After starting with a few (BIG) Texas margs that hit the spot in ways I can't even fully describe, we settled in for lunch. The chips and salsa were absolute perfection, and my steak fajitas al carbon, served traditionally with heaping piles of arroz con frijoles and a little cup of the holy trinity (guac, sour cream, pico), really brought me home. Her burrito de frijoles refritos, served smothered in ranchero, was equally as authentic. Pure comfort food, Coyote's really delivers on the classics, and I can't wait to incorporate it into my rotation. read more

Amazing food and service. Delicious refried beans. They have amazing alcoholic and non alcoholic daiquiris and drinks

Since moving from LA I've been trying to find good Mexican food. Seems like I still can't. I DoorDash chicken taquitos. Food quality was horrible. I called them & asked if small guac & sour cream came with it & she told me no. Only guac option for me to order was the $10 with chips. I get the food & what do u know. It came with chips, salsa, guac, sour cream. So I wasted $10 for nothing. Both guacamole's were brown & needed a little salt. Refried beans were salty, the taquitos were to big like a burrito. I didn't like the taste. Won't be going back read more

We like the neighborhood vibes and food but literally can't deal with the six month portable bathroom situation- are you ever fixing your Indoor bathrooms??? Also can you invest in some new plastic outdoor furniture?!? read more

Bit in to my chimichanga Found a FINGERNAIL in my food. Instead of taking ownership and fixing the issue the manager was extremely rude and nonchalant. It sad because this was one of my favorite spots. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! read more

This is our default for a quick, easy meal. I am gluten free, and I love the guacamole, beef tacos, shrimp nachos, and fajitas. It is a hole in the wall, but the food is good! The people that work there are really nice, and it is family owned. There's usually plenty of free parking. read more

Great menu Food was nice. Free chip and salsa that had a nice kick to it. The food was a 4 but I a in a wheel chair and for a smaller restaurant the bathrooms are huge clean. S they get a bonus point! read more

This is based on UberEats orders-I really cannot speak to the service nor ambiance as I never been to this place. So this review is strictly on their food. The California Burrito (steak) is the worse thing to happen to me as it's the perfect version of a burrito to me and now I'm spoiled to liking it anywhere else. My husband and one of my sons goes crazy over the taquitos and orders 2 for themselves each. The thing is I thought it was a fluke or that I was hungry the first time I ordered with them and the second time I confirmed that not only was it not but I will be forced to always think of here when I want a burrito. read more

Excellent service, and affordable prices. Plus free parking which isn't abundant in downtown Decatur. I had the chicken chimichanga and a frozen margarita and sat outside on an unseasonably warm Dec afternoon. The ambiance is understated and comfortable. read more

I ordered on DoorDash so I don't have a review as far as the service... It was my first time trying the tacos de birria.. They were really good and seasoned well!! They also came with chips and salsa.. I'd give the food 8/10 read more

Coyote's Mexican Grill - Tacos de birria - Mexican Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Simple goodness! I used to come here every now and then when I lived in Decatur. It has been a few years, so when I saw the name pop up on UberEats as I was looking for some Mexican food, I decided to check out the options. Back when I used to come here, the ambiance was super casual with hole in the wall feels, and the service was good albeit a bit challenging due to a slight language barrier. I can't speak on how it is today, but I'm sure it's still good! Everything was packed up cleanly, the portions are nice, prices are decent, and everything tasted great. For my appetizer, I got an order of guacamole tesano, which is chopped avocado with pico de gallo. It tasted fresh and I loved the chunky texture on top of the crunchy tortilla chips. For my entree, I chose the burrito de frijoles (refried beans and queso dip inside). It came with sour cream, lettuce, and tomato on the side. I was surprised to see salsa on top of the burrito. Normally, I'd love this but I was slightly disappointed at first because I had it in my mind that I was expecting a dry burrito I could hold in my hands that was filled with creamy queso dip and warm beans. Regardless, it was flavorful and delicious and after taking a bite I wasn't disappointed anymore but very pleased. My meal also came with chips and salsa! The salsa had a really nice kick of spice to it. I'll definitely be ordering more from here in the future. read more

Low key spot in Decatur with great chips and salsa. In general, I think their food and drinks are just ok. I've had much better margaritas. The house seemed watered down. I did really enjoy the grouper enchiladas. They were delicious!! read more

I eat here at least once a week because this place has such good authentic Mexican food. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

Health score today was 88 B. Simply put- wish it were higher. Enjoyed our lunch though. Really nice staff too.

Oh we like!!! It's black Friday and my son and I decided not to shop but to go get food( i didn't cook for Thanksgiving-no leftovers). We were actually headed to Fellini's across the street but decided to check out this place and I am so happy that we did. The food was great the drinks were delicious and the service was really good. I was a little surprised that no one was really there, one would think that everything would be crowded because of Black Friday, but no one was there.. we were able to get in and out without any fuss! I could see parking being a problem if there was a crowd. I'm excited about this place, we love Mexican food and its not to far from home and the lunch menu is very reasonable! We will definitely be back soon! read more

loveeeee everything about coyotes rice and cgeese dip and steak and enchis sooo goood

The food was edible. The service was ridiculously abysmal. Table of 6 for lunch. Place only had a few others but we'd had to wait a while to order. Had to ask for everything. Definitely have NO INTEREST in ever going back. read more

A good friend of mine who lives in the neighborhood took me here once and we have been coming here ever since. I do agree with other reviewers that customer service could be greatly approved as there are moments where it does take a while for a server to come to the table, but to be completely honest it has been like this in most restaurants for the past 1.5 years due to employee shortage, so I'll give them that. We just came here recently for my birthday dinner with my family and friend. Overall the food here is consistent. My kids of course like the Queso Dip (go figure) and their corn chips always do appear to be fresh. Their guacamole dip is good here as well. Usually, I will get either their grilled sliced mesquite sirloin steak (Carne Asada) or the Fajitas al Carbon. Now, my previous three visits overall went great. However, I will say my birthday visit could have been better. Our server was an older gentleman who barely spoke any English. I know some Spanish and did my best, clearly asked him for grilled chicken (Pollo a la parrilla) for my kids, but for some reason, he brought them Chimichanga's goosing in cheese, which they would absolutely not eat, and he became upset when I said that was not what I ordered. Coming out here is a good 30-minute drive too, so hopefully, our next visit is better. If only the Fellini's on Commerce drive had a La Fonda. [Review #641]  (13th Review of 2021) read more

I had the birria tacos which were amazing and very well proportioned for the price. The consume that comes with it is also very tasty. After having only 2 tacos I was stuffed but it was delicious. Definitely recommend coming here. Service was good too they were very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. read more

Unfortunately, this place is just is just meh. The beef tacos weren't good, the blackberry margarita is just OK. The best thing here is the chips and the steak in the fajitas. With that being said I won't be back. read more

I went to this place on Saturday. There is nothing spectacular about this place. The food is okay. I will say for the prices, you get a nice-sized portion of food. The drinks were weak. Would have been better if I ordered just juice. Salsa was not very good, might've been missing something. The only good thing about my experience was our server. He was great! read more

This is great and the food is consistently delicious!!! Actually going here tonight for dinner !!! read more

Everything was going well. Our server was a nice, young man, until he disappeared after taking our order for almost an hour. It seemed like he closed out all of his tabs and did not communicate to other staff concerning us. We come out of our way to come to this Mexican restaurant for the vibes and the food. After 30 minutes, we decided to ask another server a question about our food and he said "one second" and did not look at us. After that, we were done. We politely go up to the front to pay for our drinks and dip, some woman with the word "fuck" written on her sweatshirt said, rudely, "so you don't want your food?" It seemed like the whole staff knew about the extra long wait for our food, but us. Communication is not a strong suit of this business. We will not be back, which is upsetting. read more

Carpe Diem was the restaurant here prior, sister to Apres Diem. Carpe Diem means seize the day, which Coyote does not do. It was a dark and rainy night. We went in to escape the weather. Should have stayed out in the rain. Texas Fajita was bland. No seasoning on the chicken or shrimp or steak. The enchilada with tomatillo sauce was adequate. The salsa came out of like Pace or something, definitely not fresh or made in house. I did like the Mexican Mule with mescal, ginger beer and lime. Service was, well, there. This place looked really nice back in the day. It's like a bad tenant who doesn't take of the rental. Patio would be cool in the summer. I remember when Coyote was in Avondale and didn't care for it then. Not much now. read more

As most have mentioned this is a great family restaurant. The food was really delicious and very authentic. Even the charro beans were the best I've ever had! The salsa was really good, and so was the rice. The portions were also good When you walk in you feel welcomed. Mario was wonderful and the food was brought out quick and hot. This was a day that hardly anyone was in the restaurant, so no complaints here about service as many on here have mentioned. I ordered a large margarita. It was good, but I've had better. The Friday night entertainment could have also been better. There was a one-man show and the guy looked like he was about 80 years old, and and I'm not sure what kind of depressing music he was trying to play. Otherwise, this is a great establishment. I will be back to try other dishes. read more

My boyfriend and I used to enjoy this place when we wanted to just have some chips and margs or dinner but the service last time was extremely lacking and extremely slow and decided to leave this review as a warning to others. This place seemed off when we walked in - no lights seemed to be on, yet I realized there was power in the restaurant because the fridge for jarritos was on with a light. Tables were left dirty and not wiped down either. We were there for almost 2 hrs just trying to have lunch because there was maybe only 2 servers (maybe because the kids/middle schooler or high schooler that works there was in school during the lunch hours). We even tried to cancel our order but by the time I was trying to flag down someone, they brought our entrees. Our usual choriqueso app seemed lackluster and looked like it had been zapped in the microwave before coming to us as the cheese had that warm skin film on the top. The temp was not uniform throughout either. No one bothered to refill my water either. They seem to have nice lunch specials but to be honest the chicken in the lunch fajitas seemed premade and not grilled in house. The carne asada was nothing to write home about either - did not even ask what temperature I wanted for my steak to be cooked. To be honest none of the food looked too fresh and they gave small portions of rice/beans and guacamole on our lunch plates. The rice and beans were room temp which makes me think our plates were waiting a while to be taken to our table... There are far better Mexican places in the area and if you're really craving better queso and margs hit up raging burrito (even if it's more gringo style). I would definitely not recommend this place for lunch (or any time) and the fact that we didn't get food poisoning from this poor lunch experience seems short of a miracle. read more

First off can I say please don't go here. The cheese dip was microwaved and hardened within minutes, the nachos were also microwaved and inedible. The chips were soggy. I ordered a soda in the middle of the meal, and it never came. At the end of the meal we had to track down the server to split our checks, and then we had to find him again to pay because he rarely checked on us. Please go to La Parrila instead, same price, better food, better service. read more
