The food was excellent everything had excellent flavor. The portions are normal sized and not shareable just FYI. It's really cute inside. I have several friends that have El Coyote on their regular rotation and it was easy to see why. read more

The food was great the service was really bad. Table never got pre bussed, had to get up to ask for plates then refills then remind the waiter for limes and ask for the check on a slow night. Sever was on his phone by the bar all night. On another note, the food and vibe inside the restaurant was wonderful. read more

Great little hidden gem. Must try the fresh made guacamole with pickled onions and the scratch made blue corn tortillas. Nice atmosphere and large outdoor patio. Great service and friendly staff! read more

Mixed review on this one! To start, my friend called to make a reservation and the kid on the phone seemed so annoyed. When we were there Sunday night, the employees were all super helpful and kind! Service was great there. We sat on the patio, which is super cute! Lots of seating and cute lights. However, my friends who were sitting on the concrete said it was very uncomfortable. We wished they had some cushions of some sort! The food was good, although the salad was pretty lacking. There weren't many toppings and the dressing was watery. We ordered a side of rice (which was so yummy!!) and it was tiny and $5. So we loved it but overpriced. We would come back just kinda hit and miss on this visit! read more

Outside seating is refreshing, really busy when the weather is nice. Super cute interior, very "New Mexico-an" with hanging blankets and wall decor. The chips and salsa were okay, not crazy about their salsa and thicker chips. May just be a preference though. We got the Coyote Platter, which is the Enchilada with option of Fried Fish Taco. The Enchilada was good but the taco not so much. The Stacked Enchilada Platter was also pretty good. read more

Nice to find a New Mexico cuisine here in OKC. Staff were very friendly. Decided to sit at the bar to do some light nibbles and cocktails. Jordan was the bartender who took the time to make us some off the menu cocktails. It was all amazing; ordered queso and the red chile rib tips with their homemade blue corn tortillas. We will be back. read more

Great food!! Good service. A little loud if you want to visit. We've visited three times and the last two were magnificent. First one, well, they were new so we'll chalk it up to growing pains. read more

I went to El Coyote for my birthday and the service was excellent. The staff was attentive and Adriana made my birthday experience special. The house margarita was very tasty! I ordered the stacked enchiladas per Adriana's suggestion and added the egg. It was fantastic and a large portion, making it great for leftovers. read more

I put in a delivery order for a family member who had experienced a tragedy. The order was done through the website, but the delivery time was incorrect (probably because I made it in a different state). I couldn't contact the delivery company to change it, so I called the restaurant. Shout out to Anna & her manager (restaurant owner?) who very patiently worked with me and ultimately ended up going above and beyond. Their community building attitude & compassion for our family was inspiring & I cannot find a way to thank them enough. This sound hyperbolic, but it made a huge impact on me personally & inspired me to pay it forward and try to find a way to go above and beyond for a stranger as well. If I ever make it out to OKC - there is a huge hug for Anna and the manager working that day. Blessings to you both & this restaurant for working miracles! This is what life is about. read more

This restaurant has a beautiful decor. Inside is rustic and homey with comfortable tables and chairs. Outside you can sit at tables underneath the most beautiful tree. They have rope lights throughout the courtyard dining area which make the area very romantic and inviting. We had Haley as our waitress and she was just a joy to talk to. We ordered the expresso martini and the pomegranate punch to start. They were amazingly good. We also ordered guacamole with chips. The chips are freshly made and served warm at the table. We ordered the Red chili rib tips and the pozole. Both were outstanding. This was an incredible dining experience and we would highly recommend. read more

Decided to eat here after an event across the street. Very good choice as the drinks and food were quite tasty. Was able to get a meal and a margarita for under $25 which is unheard of. The bartender was very nice and engaging. Restaurant was clean and quiet. They have a patio that looks great but it was way too cold to sit out there. Will have to come back when the weather cooperates. read more

Overall great experience. El Coyote's patio is the main attraction with a fire place and walls to block any cold wind. The playlist they were playing was also very mellow and soothing. Went on taco Tuesday where all tacos were $2 off. I had the fried fish taco. It comes with a slaw and spicy sauce. The sauce definitely has a little kick to it. Only complaint of the taco was wish that I wish it had something sour or sweet to offset the salty and spicy as the slaw had little flavor. Refried beans were very good. Had the sangria - no idea what flavor it was, it was just okay for the $8 price. Service was great too. A good place for a girls night or date night, just beware if you intend to have a serious conversation here, the trains make it a bit difficult! read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant around a year ago and wanted to give it another try. This visit we sat at the bar. We had great and attentive service. My happy hour margarita was tasty. I even had 2! The salsa was better than I recall. My husband had the burrito platter and he said it was good. I had the chili relleno. I really liked the flavor. My only recommendation would be to add more mushrooms. We decided to save a portion of our meals so we could try the cake. It was more moist than our previous try. The chocolate sauce made it nice. Would definitely return sooner this time. read more

1st time here. Esthetically, very nice. Beautiful patio area. Inside was decent...bar was huge , loved the lights that hung from the ceiling and on the table so I can imagine the nighttime ambiance is definitely a vibe. The waiter that took care of us was very professional and ran everything down for us so all those were pluses. It may be just me but I really didn't care for the food that much. Salsa was thick, almost like a ketchupy thick and I felt it lacked flavor. I didn't really care for the queso either. It seemed like there were pickled onions in it??? Or something that just didn't need to be in there. The chips were a bit on the stale side but I didn't want to complain. The tacos came out on the blue corn tortillas which were pretty visually but I wasn't overly impressed with the flavor from the meats I chose. The bar drinks we ordered were ok, my friends drink came with tahini on the side even though it was ordered without. The place wasn't busy at all but seemed short on workers???. Maybe it was just a bad day all around for the restaurant. I live out toward MWC so that was a drive for me to be a bit disappointed on food. I don't think I would personally drive all the way back out that way to give them another try especially with all the other Hispanic restaurants that are available closer to me. I do wish them all the best though. read more

A mixed but still positive experience overall Our server (who is also the manager) was truly wonderful -- attentive, warm, and made us feel so taken care of. The rest of the team seemed like they may have been having an off moment, but everyone was still kind. The food was good, just felt like it could use a little extra something to really make it shine. Would I come back? I'd definitely give it another try down the line read more

This place is a MUST VISIT!! The restaurant has a moody scene inside and the outside is fun with a giant beautiful tree! The food was outstanding! We had the Crunchwrap, birria taco, and guacamole. The birra taco was definitely the star of the show. But everything was full of flavor and worth every bite! Grace was over server and she made the experience fun and inviting! read more

How do I describe this? One word, AMAZING!! This is what I want when I go dine in a Hispanic restaurant (culture) . This place is beautiful and clean. The waiter gosh I hope I get his name right light skin tall guy maybe Corey , If I remember correctly but he was sweet and on to of everything from drinks topped off to making sure were taken care of. He suggested the taco platter and fajitas and that did not disappoint!!! This place is now one of my favorites. Please give this place a try , it will not disappoint you. The patio look beautiful to sit outside get a margarita so I will be back . Thank you for bring you culture and food to okc, reminds me of home! read more

I gave them 3 stars because the hominy and refried beans were very good. The carne adovada had apparently not been cooked in spicy sauce so had no taste. The last visit we had good service this time service was bad. The restaurant is very nice. Probably our last visit. Wait till we can go to New mexico. read more

We've been wanting to try El Coyote for a while now, and got the opportunity during a lunch date with our son. The place was cute and cozy - not busy at noon on a weekday so we were seated right away. We didn't have much time so we ordered everything at once. My husband ordered the special taco of the day, which was a pork based one and we both ordered the Camerones taco. I also wanted to try the rib tip appetizer. For our son we got the quesadilla. The portion size is amazing. Lots of food for the price. However, I just felt like even though everything LOOKED flavorful, it was missing that umph. The camarones tacos were the most flavorful. My husband wasn't impressed by the special of the day and I was very underwhelmed by the rib tip app. The meat was fall off the bone but it just didn't hit in flavor the way it looks like it should. However, for the price, portions, and ambience I think this place is worth the tr read more

This was a welcomed surprise! This was not our destination, but it's where we ended up. Service was great! We spend a lot of time in New Mexico and this reminded me so much of that. It was like going into someone's home. Bright and welcoming in the first room, then you step into the next room where the bar is and it's a little darker. Much like the settings in where you're eating in a church or an old home. We loved it! Our party of four each ordered different menu items and they were all delicious! read more

Great service. Love the vibes of outside when the weather is nice. Unique food but still very tasty. Guac is amazing!

Absolutely smitten with this place. Like walking out of OKC and into Santa Fe. The decor, the people, and of course the food -- all so authentic and genuine. The drinks and food are deeply flavorful with every layer. I loved chatting with the hostess and the bar tender. Very warm and brought a smile to my face. Definitely recommend the margaritas and the chicken verde taco. I'll be back for sure. read more

Ambiance is always really cute in this restaurant. Cozy feel! I got a Kale Mushroom taco, a fried fish taco, and rice and beans as my sides for the taco platter. The mushroom taco was lip puckering salty. I couldn't even finish it and I usually love more salty foods. The fish taco was fine, but honestly the slaw was the only flavorful part. The rice was also very salty and had a cream sauce on it that added to that salt. I also got two house margaritas and they were fine. Nothing spectacular. I went on taco Tuesday and their Instagram shows that they have $5 margaritas all day, but the waiter said it was just for happy hour before 6pm. read more

The ambience is really nice. If you're going there just for drinks, then this is a great place. I was not impressed with the food. Those sopapillas tasted like freezer burn. While our waitress was sweet, she was swamped. No sense of team. While our waitress was in the weeds, other servers and the hosts were just standing around. I'll probably be back for drinks at the bar but this isn't really any different than any other Texmex plqc read more

I haven't been here since 2013 so it was great to return! The servers were busy but so nice and cheerful. I very much enjoyed the food, drinks and setting. The salsa with the chips served upon seating was also tasty and great to snack on while we chatted and viewer the menu. We sat inside but I look forward to sitting on the patio next time. Thank you for a great lunch! read more

El Coyote - Stacked Enchilada Platter - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I want to start by saying that my favorite drink I've had in the past couple years is at El Coyote. That New Mexican Martini is worth the visit. Hands down. High praise for whomever created that cocktail. I've visited this restaurant several times over the last few years. A couple times just to sit at the bar and work on Sunday afternoons. The guacamole and chips can't be beat. And did I mention that New Mexican Martini? Oh.... Other worthy mentions is 1) the cozy atmosphere and 2) one of the yummiest chili rellanos you'll ever eat. I promise. If you don't frequent the Britton District on the regular, you're missing some great businesses. El Coyote included. read more

It sounds like you had a genI had a nice experience at this restaurant. The food was good, and I'd rate it around three stars, but overall, it was still enjoyable. I'd say it's a good place for a one-time visit, maybe more. The interior was well-designed, though a bit dark. However, sometimes a cozy atmosphere is better. The staff was great--our server was especially kind and helpful. We were celebrating my birthday, and we forgot a lighter for the candle. The server went out of his way, asking around to find one so I could light my candle, which was really thoughtful. I originally wanted to sit outside because they have a nice patio, but the weather was too windy. Still, it was a good experience, and I might visit again." read more

Food was just OK... if you want meat, you've gotta ask for it. It's a vegan restaurant lol

Food was pretty good but seems a bit overpriced for what you get. 10 bucks for guac and 40 dollars for fajitas is a bit much. The flavor was good though and presentation was nice. Overall comes to about 60 bucks for a single person to eat. read more

I've given this place three chances since they opened, and unfortunately each visit has left me disappointed - and somehow each experience has gotten progressively worse. A friend of mine really enjoys coming here, so I've tagged along several times hoping my experience would improve. The service has consistently been slow and lacking. When they first opened, I understood some of the delays because there was a lot of hype and they seemed busy. However, during my most recent visit the restaurant was pretty empty, so I was surprised by the lack of urgency from the waitstaff. At one point, I noticed a server (who appeared to be wearing scrubs) on her cell phone having a personal conversation while things around the restaurant seemed to be getting overlooked. There were also chips scattered all over the floor by the dining room door leading to the patio, and they remained there for quite a while. It made the overall atmosphere feel a bit neglected. The biggest issue for me has been the food. Every visit, it has lacked flavor and, without fail, has been cold. What really confused me this last time was that our food came out very quickly, yet it was still cold when it arrived. The one positive I'll give is that the drinks are good. If I were to come back, I'd probably just sit at the bar and order drinks. The restaurant itself is cute and has a lot of charm from a decor standpoint, but unfortunately the food and service have been disappointing enough that I don't see myself returning. read more
