    Big menu!
    Dante C.

    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.

    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

    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.

    First time here.. staff is super friendly and the food is great :) large portions and affordable prices. Definitely coming back!

    El Pastor Taco really good cute place definitely worth coming

A huge shoutout to Aldo, our server, who made the experience even better. I have a no dairy diet, and he was incredibly accommodating with making changes to my order so I could still fully enjoy my meal. He was patient, understanding, and genuinely made me feel comfortable, which I really appreciated. It's kid friendly and although it's a bit dark inside they did a good job with decor! The customer service was amazing from start to finish, and you can tell they care about their customers' experience. Great food, reasonable prices, and excellent service -- we will definitely be coming back. Five stars!

The birria ramen had the same issue it tasted mostly like salt with very little actual flavor. The tacos were just okay, nothing that stood out. On top of that, the prices are high. The service was also pretty slow, and they only had one salsa option, which unfortunately wasn't good either. There are much better birria spots out there. I gave this place a try because of all the hype, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

One has meat and the other does not. I was confused and she said it as if I knew the menu. If you tell me all the ingredients for the first nachos plus meat, I like to know the difference for the other one. Instead I asked to take my parents order and I was going to think a bit more.

The gentleman who takes your order and prepares your food is very attentive and is able to remember everything in one go. If he's unsure he will ask. So, your orders are always correct and ready in a timely manner.
