I've never had a bad meal here. I've ordered things I don't like and wound up liking them. The waitstaff is excellent on a bad day and even better on a good day. The kitchen is quicker than you'd expect. Sometimes, we can't even finish the free homemade chips and salsa before two entrees are served. This is the part of the review where I'd try and complain, but my only gripe is that you need to ask for hot sauce. Fortunately, it's free, homemade, and thankfully, it's fairly spicy! read more

It's hard for me to rate this because I was a regular customer of their other location in Garrison, NY. I loved that place! I've only been here twice (once take-out, once dine-in). The salsa didn't do anything for me and the beer was somewhat warm, so right off the bat they were behind the 8-ball. I had 3-tacos which had a lot of stuff in them (super messy, which was fine), but not the best. The rice was tasteless and only warm, but the beans were excellent -- 'very' hot and tasty. I have to go back again but knowing how good the other location is and how this is the same restaurant, I'm down to check it out again. Fair and reasonable pricing. read more

Service is always great and we love the quiet booth area Food has been excellent and we have been going here for years read more

This was the worst mexican food I've ever had. The salsa was old and tangy from rotting. Everything that came out was cold. Even the soda was flat. Such a disappointment. Not trying to be a mean person, but this was shocking. If I had cash, I would have walked out read more

We went for lunch on a Saturday. The waiter was really good and explained the choices really well. We ended up getting a couple of Enchiladas, House special margarita and beers. It was a great combination. It is a big place inside and staff were a pleasure to deal with. read more

Have been in this plaza numerous times but finally made the effort to stop it for dinner. Wasn't too busy, but the staff was very friendly and attentive. My margarita was great and strong as well. The jalapeño poppers were very cheesy and had a good kick. Both entrees were flavorful and filling. Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was well decorated. Looking forward to coming back! read more

We walked in and there was only one other table being served. Our server kept disappearing into the back- I'm not sure if she was the waitress, the cook, manager, in charge of the register, etc... it was just bizarre! Then out of the blue, this nasty, rude senseless individual came out to grab my credit card and she had such an attitude that she attempted to snatch the booklet off my hand with the receipt and my card and in the process dropped my credit card on the floor. She literally snatched it off my hand! I think she was angry that we interrupted her siesta and she was very obvious to show it. My best friend was beside herself. It took everything in me not to give an attitude right back but we had enjoyed our food and I was in town on vacation so I didn't was to ruin my vibe. I hope hope this is not the norm here. I plan on visiting with my best friend quite often and she really enjoys the food here so I do hope this was a one off. read more

We hadn't eaten there since the Summer but were in the mood for Latino and stopped in at the end of March. I forgot just how good their food is and need to go more often. I had the chicken poblano and the mole sauce was as good as what I had in Oxaxa (If you've been, you know the food is fantastic there). The staff are great people and the experience is as pleasent as you can imagine. We kind of specialize in dining early - late afternoon, really so it hasn't gotten busy (which it certainly will) and it's super relaxed. Their sauces are so good I've bought some to go in the past. Overall, a fave in New Milford. read more

When the chicken didn't thaw out in time we decided to go local and close. I've heard a few people talk about El Coyote so we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. Clean, open and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food had so much flavor and large portions. There was a few things I would love to go back and try from the desert menu. With the chips they give you and the portion sizes we were stuffed. Stayed in the dining room, but the bar had lots of options that were visible. I liked the collages on the wall that were have painted. El Coyote is definitely worth a try. read more

Creepy vibe seemed grungy. Food mediocre at best. Its a skip it- way too many amazing Mexican places in the area to risk it here read more

Always a friendly welcoming environment, I love eating in or ordering take out. I always get nachos and creamy potatoes which taste amazing! They have so many fun drinks. The salsa is delicious, I'm always excited for it. Also you get so much food for such a reasonable price. Nachos, tacos, 2 creamy potatoes, chips and salsa, and plantains for $45 and the servings are bigger than you expect. Definitely recommend. read more

It's just ok. Hubby had enchilada trio. I had the taco salad with veggies. We had beer. It's not bad. It's just not great. We ended up there bcuz or favorite Vegas was closed. read more

I love this restaurant! Busy or slow, I've never had a bad meal here. I've eaten traditional Mexican dishes like enchiladas or sizzling fajitas -- always delicious and satisfying. I've eaten steak and shrimp dishes -- great flavor and presentation. My favorite is the table side guacamole preparation... so fresh! Very tasty and you can decide how spicy you want it to be. The margaritas are great too!! Even on busy nights, I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to get a table. read more

Fun place and you wouldn't know it from the exterior cause it's in a strip mall. But the food was super fresh and the salsa was divine! Definitely worth a visit read more

We have come here for many years to eat. The food is excellent. Sadly the Wednesday night crew that was taking care of us tonight, was awful. We arrived just after eight with a 9.39 closing. It was obvious that they did not want to serve another table. We had to ask for everything that we needed from the salsa and chips, condiments, the check.. We may as well have gone to the kitchen to get our own food. Please know that the weekends when we have typically come, staff has been awesome. The Wednesday night crew absolutely did not give a shit. Sadly we won't be back. It's the first time we left no tip and I typically tip 20% on an average service. So food wise AWESOME- Wednesday night..... don't go. The two staff we dealt with were useless. They should not be in food service. read more

Excellent mole. Burrito Grande was muy bien. I had the tortilla soup with all the fixing. Great. Guacamole was very fresh with warm chips. We will be back. Surprise in the men's bathroom. Worth the trip. read more

Authentic delicious food at such reasonable prices. pure YUM We had calamari (fried very lightly) with very unusual smokey mayonnaise and pork loin quesadillas and chimichangas-- so a range of tastes. ALL truly great food. Add to that --the lovely service and a very modest bill. This is definitely a restaurant to recommend for friends and kids and neighbors. Louise Sperling read more

This is the second time I have visited this establishment. I ordered the Churrasco - Sizziling grilled skirt steak marinated with fresh herbs and spices accompanied by chimichurry sauce, I thought it was excellent. My girlfriend ordered the Enchiladas, I sampled it and thought it was nice, I thought the sauce was was flavorful but we agreed the the chicken and beef versions were bland, the cheese version was the best. The manager came over great us, A very nice person. I will be returning for certain. read more

El Coyote - Paradise Margarita - Mexican Near Me - New Milford, Connecticut

This is my favorite place in New Milford for authentic mexican cuisine. The food is always fresh and plentiful, I can never finish my meal, I have to take it home. Rolando and Adriana are the perfect host. Fernando the bartender will greet you with his warm smile while he'll make you the perfect cocktail. If you've never been there, you owe it to yourself to enjoy a perfect evening at El Coyote. read more

I visited this place after the good experience I've had before at the Monroe location, which is great. I was passing by New Milford, so I got excited there was a Coyote here. I ordered a parillada, a plate I know well at Monroe, I always have that. Boy.. this meal was mediocre at best, almost disgusting. Poor quality meat, chicken was thin as a sheet of paper, gross chorizos, everything greasy and tasteless. On top of that, it came without sour cream, neither guacamole or something! it was dry as hell. The worst 32 dollars I've ever spent. AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

Yikes, mediocre food , poor service. Sat at a front table by the door and was ignored. Waited 40 minutes for food and another 20 minutes for check. The place was not busy. read more

The food was great the service was okay nothing terrible just took forever to come over to give us the check but highly recommend their food! read more

This place has good food, service was pretty good, the music however was a bit loud and annoying. They were blasting a lot of pitbull and j lo, kind of peppy bar music even though we were sitting in the restaurant area. The enchiladas are delicious and the tomatillo verse (green sauce) is amazing Their salsa is just okay- a bit too salty. Drinks were good, we tried the cucumber margarita special and the skinny Margarita on the rocks read more

Great Mexican food and atmosphere. Don't let the size fool you from outside. This place is much larger than it seems. We were surprised to see the large bar and seating area on the right with 3 big screen TVs. Drinks were great and it's Happy Hour all day if you sit at the bar area, not just bar. Glad we came. read more

Love the black bean and cheese burritos, beef empanadas are flavorful and crispy, arroz cob pollo is a huge portion with lots of flavor, and fries are tasty. Service is exceptional, the place is decorated very nice - check out the paintings when you walk in. The prices are reasonable, will definitely be back. read more

The food is adequate but not amazing. The guacamole at $9 was not very substantial. The red sauce used on top of every enchilada and burrito was a bit bland, but my father's fajitas were marinated very well and delicious. All in all, it's so so but would probably not warrant a second visit. read more

Our favorite mexican spot! Food, service, and ambience are all 5 stars! In comparison to other mexican restaurants, these guys are the best. Fajitas and chips and salsa are all phenomenal. Highly recommend! read more

Just had coconut shrimp & flautas appetizer Followed by enchiladas & a mixed grill DELISH!!! read more

I just spent $25 for a burrito that was mediocre at best. $25!! for ONE burrito. That is crazy. I will NEVER go back there. I just moved to the area...totally NOT worth it...go to taco bell or chipotle. The burrito was OK but $25 OMG that is f'in crazy!!!! read more

The salsa is so so good. The frozen margaritas are very good--I recommend the raspberry! The coyote nachos are our favorite appetizer so far. The chiles rellenos with cheese were so savory and tasty. I got one with shrimp and they do not skimp! The tomatillo salsa is almost as good as my moms which is really saying something. We went twice in one week and we'll be back for sure. read more

Went for drinks and appetizers. Sat in the bar area. Neither the bar or restaurant were busy. After waiting for a while for a waiter no one came over so my husband went up to the bar to order our drinks. Our food came out quickly but wasn't anything amazing. The empandas seemed like they had been frozen and weren't fresh. We asked for sour cream but it finally came when we were almost done eating. Certainly would not be our first choice for Mexican food in the area. read more

This place has a location in Brookfield and have always had a great experience and food. I was excited for them to open in new milford. I went a couple of times to this new location it was good like I expected and not crowded. Went tonight for cinco de mayo and they had no clue the volume of people that would be there. Went for an hour and was only served 1 drink. The bartender was inept and so was the service. Extremely disappointed they should just close down. read more

Usually a great place to visit. On Cinco de Mayo we ordered from this restaurant. Order sent at 5:30. First deliverer left. Called restaurant to check on order at 7:30. I was told they were running an hour behind. Explained situation and was told they would try to locate order. Driver had to go inside restaurant and wait when they had not brought out order by 10 pm. Really? I mean I called and was told they would locate my order. This ruined the meal, having to eat so late. Not going to order again which is sad because the restaurant is good. Really disappointed. No apologies or anything. read more

Very good Mexican food. Service is always great with the staff being very friendly. Great Mexican food for this area.

The food was very good and they serve it beautifully. I wish the portion sizes were bigger. The sangria was delish too. I got the steak tacos, sweet plantains and rice w/beans. We also got the guacamole. I would go back. read more
