AL Coyote or EL Coyote? Both, apparently. Even the signs inside aren't conclusive. The menu is wide and overwhelming. They take Apple Pay. The drinks are bottled or fresca. The service is great. We got chips and salsa before our meal. I ordered the 3 taco plate with shredded beef and a large horchata. The food was 7/10, the meat being tasty but dominant. My wife ordered the carne asada fries. She gave the food a 8/10, but that was before she had diarrhea later that night. Parking is strip mall parking. The restaurant is the only Mexican restaurant in the strip mall. read more

It's actually called Al Coyote, not "El" Coyote. Located in a small shopping center on Washington Street, expect a tight parking lot experience, especially if there are big trucks that day. The menu is broad enough, some house specials and specialties, tortas,and so on. My usual audition meal is a carne asada burrito, wet style if available. The wait wasn't too long after ordering, which was appreciated. However, My request for both red and green sauces didn't register on the cook's end. I am not sure exactly what the cream sauce slathered on top was, but fortunately it wasn't 100% sour cream or I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the food. As such, I'll be sure to mention no sauce if there is another time. I really liked the beans and rice inside. The carne asada didn't seem overly unique in the seasoning department, nor did the red sauce assuage my taste buds. Nonetheless, it was a decent size and I wasn't hungry afterwards for a long time. Overall, it's probably the place I'd need to visit 3-4 more times and try different things. For now I'd say 3.25 Stars read more

El Coyote serves fresh, authentic Mexican food at good prices. They have taco Tuesday AND Thursday. My only complaint is that the chicken is always pretty dry. The flavor is excellent though. I douse it in their red hot sauce and it's great. read more

El Coyote - El Pastor Taco really good cute place definitely worth coming - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

A negative to this spot the Al Pastor doesn't come off a Trompo,but who cares becuz the flavor is on point with slices of pineapple sprinkled in.This is our go to for Taco Tuesdays&Thursdays.Each Taco comes with chopped raw onions,cilantro,grilled onions,and grilled jalapeños.I hope u like spice becuz their red salsa brings the heat.Cool off with an Agua Fresca that aren't too sweet so the natural flavors come through.Gotsta keep it real tho...after bashing another spot for minced asada.Came here for redemption to get my asada fix.Unfortunately,I guess it's the new norm to mince asada to practically dust WTH...Wasn't like that before...Must be the $$$ of meat.If that's the case, charge more for it and serve actual pieces of carne.For now I'm sticking with Al pastor while sneaking in a Buche taco or two every now and then. read more

I walked in and waited for about 15 minutes I didn't get service till then and when I did the only reason I was acknowledged was because a boss of some sort let hjs workers know they have customers and after that they tell us they are closed , even though someone was sitting down eating . And their sign was on , plus the listed hours were till 10 pm and we were there at 9:07 pm. And i just think it's a waste of peoples time. read more

You haven't been here? Crazy! This place is one of the most profound places for authentic Mexican food you could come by with a heartwarming feel to it as well as it's owned no other than by a beautiful Mom and pop with the kids shining through here and there! I absolutely love the service so clean,thoughtful,appreciative of every customer that come through the door and I have 0 bad words for any of the food here. From the asada to the pastor to the pollo all the way down to the buche I absolutely love everything I get when I come. My favorite part is the consistency it doesn't matter when you come at any time of the day and or week you will always receive the same customer service as you did any other day! I love it here and i hope you do as well! read more

The tortillas were burnt, and were also super oily. The al pastor meat was very salty. Not sure why cooks are ok with serving food like this. I did not finish the tacos and threw them away. I expected a lot more. The price is ok. Will not return. Customer service was great. read more

Awesome little spot! My husband and I had had the bacon breakfast burrito a couple weeks prior and it was really good. Tonight we came for the tacos and we really enjoyed them as well. The reason I give 4 stars is because the al pastor was suuuuuper salty and greasy. Nonetheless- I still finished it but I probably wouldn't order it again. I'll just stick to the classic carne and pollo :) we'll definitely be back though! Also could have used some more onion and cilantro but that's just preference. read more

El Coyote - rolled Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

Entrance to El Coyote are covered by pictures of their food offerings. The counter and kitchen took up a lot of spaces so there is not a of tables for patrons. Their menu is quite extensive so it may take you a moment to consider your choices if you are not familiar with the menu. I ordered a buche burrito and my coworker ordered a California burrito. I figure each burrito probably weights a pound. More important than the serving size, the food is actually tasty. We also got a complimentary order of chip and salsa, which I was not impressed. Chips were too thick and the salsa too watery. There is a bottle of Salsa Huichol on the table but it was not opened. I enjoyed my first visit to El Coyote but that are many items I would to try, such as tamales, tortas, birria, sopes, and menudo. read more

The food is ok but the prices are too high. Place is practically empty at lunch time but the reason for that is because prices are too high. It's Mexican food and two enchilada plate should not cost $13.99. It's only two tortillas, some cheese and rice and beans. read more

Food is tasteless Really fishy Ask for hot sauce extra charge The cook is nasty and dirty Tamales is not fresh and smells No recommended!!!! read more

First off, I was craving some Mexican food and Maria's was closed and this being a block down the road I figured why not. Had some issues but overall food was decent enough to give this place another shot. Ordered online for pickup and got a carne asada burrito, California burrito and 2 fish tacos. First issue, I paid for my order online and when I went to go pick it up the cashier rung my order up again so I was confused and thought maybe I picked an option to were I pay at th store (first time using GrubHub by the way) and I didn't pay no mind cause I was in a rush. Got my order and when I got home, I went straight for the tacos and they werent fish tacos. They were good carne asada tacos but weren't the fish tacos that I wanted. I checked my online order status and I did pay online and luckily enough I asked for a recipe after they rung me up at the store so after getting a GrubHub representative I was able to at least get a refund for the online order since I paid again at the store. Both burritos were good, they both were a good size for the prices and they filled those things up so I was at least happy there. Overall, customer service could be a tad more welcoming but having worked in these types of places before....I didn't mind to much there since I've had those types of days and my issue was resolved with the double payment so no harm there. Definitely double check on the orders though but since the tacos I got where at good, I can't complain to much there. In the end I really did enjoy the food...will give them another shot whenever I'm in the area again read more

First time coming here It was a big disappointment Thinking back I should of left when I ignored when I walked in, not even a hello, it took him a while before they took my order. I ordered the birria & menudo to go. The birria container was filled half way, I was annoyed, but after I tasted it how salty & old it was, I didn't care, it went straight to the trash. I also ordered the menudo & it tasted like it was spoiled, had a bad smell & taste, that too went straight to the trash! read more

Excellent Tacos!! Fresh toppings of onions, cilantro. Salsa. Fried fresh fresh onions, green Chili peppers. Great Mexican Hibiscus drink. Spanish rice, refried beans. Totally taken away !

I never leave reviews. I downloaded yelp just so that I could because my food was that AMAZING. I got a taco salad. Now let me feel you in, I am PICKY about my Mexican food. I grew up spoiled with actual Mexican food. This taco salad was absolutely perfect. Kid you not! The carne asada has amazing flavor. The taco bowl was thin and crispy. I literally have nothing I can complain about. I was expecting to be let down to be honest. No idea why this place has some negative reviews. Maybe a bad day? Idk. I have been here 2 times. And both times had wonderful food. But the taco salad I got tonight was off the charts... so so good. I will no longer go anywhere else for my taco salad and tacos. This place hits the spot. The other place I like is in muscoy, so this is much closer to me now. The point of this book now.... give it a try if your thinking about it. I haven't gotten much, but as for the carne asada, tacos/taco salad you will not be disappointed. read more

Second time here and what brought me back is the rice and agua fresca de melón. I had the 3 flautas combo plate and the agua de melon. Although the food tasted fresh and the flautas were generously stuffed with chicken, it kind of hurt paying $13.45 Hence the 3 stars. The pricing indicator for this restaurant needs to be "$$" versus "$" Note: there is a $0.50 charge for using plastic. Not cool. I'll probably return...when someone else is paying. Too pricey for me, for fast food Mexican. read more

Taco salad Taco salad - $8.99; 3x chicken taco ($0.89 each); 2x al pastor taco ($1.09 each); French fries ($1.89) = Total $17.06 +Wanted to try new places, starting with taco Tuesdays. They have $0.89 chicken and $1.09 other tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays, usually $1.59 ish. +/-chicken tacos were good, appreciated the sautéed onions and peppers. Saw that in the discount price, some other orders of tacos were smaller... Gf said the al pastor tacos didn't taste as usual. +/- Fries were nice and crispy but lacked any flavor, didn't even have salt, so I was able to taste the not-so-great inside flavor. -The lighting of the place with ceiling fans makes for a strobe light effect, giving me a headache. -Taco salad wasn't much, costing an additional $3 to add a little chicken, guac, and a drizzle of sour cream. The only salad seemed to be the shredded lettuce on top. read more
