Good - Great late night spot to grab food any day of the week, cheap, food is alright to fulfill that quick hunger. Bad - Recently the tacos became really greasy. Not sure what happened, because they werent always like this. Guacamole use to be good too, but they arent consistent with how they make it. Its hit or miss. read more

Love ,Love ,Love this and regret not walking extra blocks to get there .that I choose a different restaurant on 17th & Halsted ,which is overpriced and not authentic .,but IU won't mention names.Coyotes is the place to go read more

I have only been here once, but the steak quesadilla was delicious! This is the perfect place to hit up after being out on a late night in Pilsen read more

We went to Coyotes, when you first walk in you see that its an old taco joint in the Pilsen neighborhood, i love these kind of places, i had a steak taco which was very good especially since they use El Milagro tortillas, when you first sit down they bring you warm chips with this awesome tasting salsa, be sure to save some for your tacos, i also had a steak burrito it wasnt bad but i did have a couple pieces of fat but i think thats normal for these places, it was very tasty, they have a lot of different entrees to choose from, plus there is an ice cream counter in there also, i will be back to try other items, but this time i wanted to try the basics first, i think you will enjoy the old history of this place. read more

My friend recommended this place and he told me to try the huarache and steak quesadilla. That is exactly what I ordered when I came here and it was delicious. I have never had a huarache before, but this is now one of my favorite things to order. The steak quesadilla here is the best I have ever had so far! I am not a fan of their steak tacos though. The service here is friendly and they open late. They also have a really good selection of ice cream here! I will definitely come back here. Good food good price! read more

Coyotes Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Delicious and super affordable with great hours. I ordered the Chile relleno dinner and was not let down!

Love this place! So reliable when it comes to hours of operation, quality service, and amazing food. I left my phone here once. They held onto it for me. Great people for that! read more

Came here lastnight with a group of friends who had been before. It was my first visit. First off, we got fresh chips with super spicy salsa, and I noticed how tasty the corn tortillas smelled; that was a thumbs up for me. I got chorizo tacos and a steak one. The chorizo was my favorite. I honestly wouldn't get beans and rice next time, I'd just focus on the tacos. They didn't skimp on the meat either, so come hungry and you'll leave happy! read more

Coyotes Restaurant - Taco dinner- 3 tacos, your choice of meat, and rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place makes you feel at home. The server placed drinks and appetizers on the table. Right then I knew I couldn't just get up and leave. I ordered the medium size celery and beets juice and the grilled chicken taco dinner. The juice was delicious. The carrot overpowered the beets in flavor but the serving was just enough vegetables for me for that day. Freshly made and healthy too. The grilled chicken in the tacos were not shredded up, but they were tender and the flavor was perfect. The salad was a nice added healthy touch as well as the refried beans and rice which topped off the dinner as a whole. I will dine in this restaurant again because of the homely atmosphere and the nice server and cooks that works there. If you visit Pilsen in Chicago on 18th street, I highly recommend you visit this place. read more

I wasn't wowed by this place. Meat was on the bland side, but the prices are good and they're open pretty late. There are no frills here - everything is served in a plastic basket and you pay at the front when you're done. If it isn't too late, I'd walk another block up to Taqueria Los Comales instead. These guys could use a little lesson in seasoning their food. The service here is pretty slow, but they seem nice enough, so I didn't mind too much. The lady who served me was incredibly smiley. Maternally so, even. One thing I really enjoyed was the jamaica. Unlike most places, it wasn't liquid candy and I could actually taste the hibiscus. read more

I'm from Texas so I'm used to fresh across the border Mexican and Tex-Mex. This place is good and will definitely hit the spot when you're in the mood for tacos. It is sit down which I'm not used to. Salsa and chips are provided. Chips are kinda stale (minus one pointt) and both the red and green salsa is not that spicy as the previous reviewer stated. Try it beforehand and judge for yourself. What else seemed weird is that there is no small plate to eat your chips and salsa on. The salsa is in a squeezey container bottle and you literally have to squeeze the salsa onto your individual chip. Also minus one point. The tacos are amazing! I tried both the lengua and the asada and both are delicious!!! For about $2 each including tax, it's a steal! Plus one point. The door states that they accept American Express, but they definitely don't. This makes me sad since I like to earn as many points as possible. Minus one point. All in all, decent place to grab a taco. Don't expect much ambiance or the greatest of service. But the tacos are definitely where it's at! read more

Good late night tacos. Their al pastor is my favorite, the chicken taco is is just an un marinated chicken breast. Would give them 4 stars but their guacamole is 8.50 with tax which I think is overpriced. read more

We would never have ran into this Mexican diamond in the dust if it hand been for our friends friend who was taking us around on day 1. The price points are great and the food is superb. All were incredibly happy. Suggestion for out of towners may be to take an uber or taxi there The vibe is more of a canteen like place. Loved it. I had the civiche on a hard tortilla shell with some quacamole. read more

Food was good but nothing too crazy. Tacos are definitely the best choice on their menu. Unfortunately i've been to a ton of taco spots and have never paid as much as i did here. Overly priced. read more

I really like the tacos here. They are darn good, really low cost and typically are made quickly. Everyone in the place is also pretty friendly. I make a point to stop here every time I need to go through Pilsen. read more

Not safe to order food and pick up at night due to gang activity harassing customers and residents. Placed an order and went to pick up and was harassed right by the restaurant. Called the restaurant to explain the situation and they were not helpful but kept telling me to call back later each time I called. I wasn't able to retrieve the food I paid for. read more

We went at around midnight on a Tuesday and had quesadillas and tacos. They were all excellent and also great heated up the next day. The staff are really friendly. The place was pretty quiet in a good way. It was a great experience. read more

The salsa is one of my favorites I've ever had, it was spicy and delicious. However, it was a little bit un-fresh. The tacos were pretty good, there was a lot of cilantro, which I love. However, the tortillas seemed a little dry, the chips a little stale, and the rice was dry and seemed un-fresh, once again. However the value was impeccable- I got two tacos and a huge portion of rice and beans for $6! The portion of chips was quite small, but what do you expect for a free appetizer. Overall, pretty good, but not the best. The fact that they are open 24/7 is great too. Would give 3.5, but I cannot give half stars. read more

Coyotes Restaurant - Rice, beans, and two tacos- $6! - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This my go to restaurant when I want some great Mexican food! No frills kind of place. Very reasonable in price. One thing I will say though is whenever I get delivery, the food is cold. So I recommend sitting down at the actual restaurant. My favorite thing to get is their steak burritos, horchata, and their guac. read more

i came here around 12am and was shown this spot by a local friend. i just recently woke up from a super jet-lagged nap and had no idea what was still open to grub on at this time. my friend took me to check out this super popular, late-night taco spot with another one of my friends. i was so excited to try out some local chicago tacos! this place does a sit-down first, then order, style -- which i love! they provide your table with complimentary salsa and chips to munch on while you look at the menu. i ordered 2 steak tacos and 2 pastor tacos with onion and cilantro. i loved them and hope to visit this spot when i finally return back to the city. i love how this place gives you an excessive bowl of fresh cut limes for the whole table so you don't need to keep asking for more. i would say that the only thing would be that i had to ask for more water, they don't automatically refill your cup when it's empty....but that's not a big deal for me, personally! check this place out, it seems to be where the locals go to for late-night grub or drunchies! read more

Hands down to this joint!!!! Being open 24/7 came here around 3am. It was super jammed packed. You get free chips w/salsa. I tell ya when my tacos came, they were super loaded & smelled so fresh. I had al pastor tacos. THIS place has the bestest al pastor tacos I've ever had! I'm Mexican! I tell ya, I kept ordering more.... mmmm just thinking about em.... They're chunky salsa & red salsa were so yummy. I wish I didn't live ways away to go on a regular basis. Highly recommend this place. Without a doubt I'll DEF. come back here again. read more

Ordered 3 steak tacos, and they were very authentic and juicy not dry. Great flavor and seasoning of the steak. Cooked to perfection. Also ordered a chicken quesadilla but that was not as good. I do not recommend the quesadillas. It wasn't hot and it was sloppily put together. I couldn't really eat it as a quesadilla. Other than that it was good. read more

Great food, great price. My go to spot on the weekend after the bars. Orchatas are absolutely massive 10 out 10 would recommend.

Delicious and Friendly staff. The red salsa that comes with the chips when you arrive is the best in town. not too runny and not too chunky. great chips too. I had the steak burrito today. As good as any in town. Other nights I've had the tacos and other nights I've gone with the platos. All great! read more

I am quite thankful Coyotes Restaurant exists, a decent mexican restaurant that is open 24/7 on weekends. There is definitely better mexican restaurants in the city, especially in Pilsen but Coyotes is cheap, fast, and has huge portions. I had the carne asada and al pastor tacos and my boyfriend had a burrito which was huge!! They also have REAL fresh squeezed orange juice. I am sure i'll be back for a late night or fast food run but I would go elsewhere if you are looking for the highest quality mexican food. read more

Coyotes Restaurant - look at that burrito! only $5.50 - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I like to come here when I'm in Pilsen. The place is not much to look at from the outside, but inside, the food never fails to be good. Upon ordering, they set down a basket of chips and salsa. Service is quick and friendly, the portions are a good size, and the price is right. Think authentic Mexican and not Tex-Mex or Chipotle. My favorite are the enchiladas. read more

I've walked by this restaurant many times and aesthetically it's never caught my attention to want to visit. However after much suggestion from friends in the neighborhood, I've given it a try and now am a regular! Very good read more

They just gave me the best burrito I've had in a long time. Super cheap too. The thing was loaded with steak and very filling. Definitely a great value. It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

Miss and love my coyotes. They've always been there for us, day or night. Veggie tacos on point.

I was drunk as hell and by myself but everyone treated me with great respect. I ordered 3 steak tacos which was delicious. The tacos was so on point. I would definitely come back here. read more

The restaurant is so close to me and the first few times I tried the steak tacos I was disappointed this was the only 24hr place next to me. The meat is chewy and a little flavorless. I started to explore the menu and ordered the vegetarian tacos which were good. The guacamole is pricey but is homemade and chunky with chips. Now I only order the ground beef tacos because of the quality of the steak. The horchata is delicious and huge. read more

My preferred taco spot in Pilsen. Not a bad thing to say about it. The tacos are tasty, cheap and generously filled.

Came here super late and not entirely sober, but the service was great -- they were very kind to my large group of intoxicated friends and me, the food was fantastic -- granted I only order guac but I tried other people's food, and the prices were also excellent. I just wish I lived closer! I would definitely come more often if I did. read more

I have been going here for almost 2 years. It is the best drunk food in the entire city if you ask me. They are open almost 24/7 and they are fast and very good. It is probably some of the best Mexican food in Chicago. read more

Loved it. Hand made wheat tortillas with tons of delicious meat. Best were quesadillas with chicken and tacos with Al pastor. Best Mexican food I have had in Chicago so far. read more

Bruh.. this food is good.! Try the torta with al pastor! You cant go wront with this place. And theyre hella nice too.

Every other time that i have gone over i have nothing bad to say. But I went with a couple friends and the service was HORRIBLE! They destroyed my order even after i waited for the waitress to finish writing everything down. I politely stated that, "this is not what i ordered." The girl looked at me like I was Crazy! So i said it in Spanish, but she gave me a hand gesture then proceeded to walk away from me with not even a SORRY! Not to mention I didn't get my drink until AFTER i finished eating the meal I DID NOT ORDER. Nor did we get napkins, or a refill on chips. Like WTF!?! Then we attempted to pay separately but APPARENTLY they CANNOT do that. They said WE had to let them know before we placed our ORDER. and i'm like NO, that's supposed to be one of the first things she was supposed to ask us. Point is, NEVER AGAIN. read more
