We ate at El Coyote in Sonoma and absolutely loved it! We ordered the Al Pastor quesadilla and the Carne Asada burrito, and both were incredible. The tortillas had that perfect toasted outside, and the fresh little pieces of tomato added such a bright, delicious flavor. Everything tasted so fresh and well-made. We'll definitely be coming back again! read more

I hired El Coyote for my party during Labor Day 2026 weekend. It pains me to write a negative review for any local business, but I just spoke to the owner's son and he was dismissive. So here it is. We had verbal and written agreement that the truck would serve for a minimum of 2 hours. After 1 1/2 hours, I brought payment in cash for 100 guests. Angelica told me that I needed to pay for orders exceeding 100. She did this from inside the truck as my guests were standing in line. I said, "No problem, I will pay you." A guest that overheard offered to pay for his order which was embarrassing. Five minutes later, a bartender pulled me off the dance floor to say Angelica would leave if I didn't bring another $400. I gathered $400. When I brought to Angelica, she was outside the truck looking for me. She said she was ready to leave. I asked her not to leave early because there were guests standing near the truck. This was all very disappointing to deal with during my event. I followed-up the next day to understand why she didn't keep to our 2-hour minimum agreement even after I assured her that she would be paid in full after the event. Her son finally called me today and was instantly dismissive and unapologetic. He kept repeating that Angelica said I was very respectful and kind - and he didn't understand why I was disappointed. To which I kept saying, it was disruptive and embarrassing. He said that it was my fault for feeling that way. After I was exasperated by the circular logic, I asked for an apology since there should have been no further disruptions after I assured Angelica that she would be paid. He said, "Sorry for nothing." read more

The gentlemen are so nice. The food is yummy! I appreciate that the food comes out quickly.

Yelped "Best Breakfast Burrito" while staying in Sonoma for a weekend getaway and El Coyote appeared. This unassuming food truck was conveniently down the street from our hotel and OMG...the food was phenomenal! I ordered the breakfast burrito and while my photo isn't that awesome, the burrito was fantastic. I live for crispy bacon in my breakfast burritos, nothing is more of a bummer than slimy bacon. I also got an Al pastor taco, which was great, but the true star of our order was the Hot Dog with Bacon my husband ordered on a whim. Damn. It was SO good that I go back to reference the photo just to remember what was in it and try our best to recreate it at home. lol The hot dog was split down the middle was topped with onion, diced tomatoes, cilantro, mustard, sour cream and the most important ingredient chopped up bacon. Service was awesome, the kid behind the counter was friendly, and everything came out hot and fast. Forget wine tasting, that hot dog is absolutely worth another trip back to Sonoma! read more

I have driven on Highway 12 passing through Sonoma, CA, tons of times. Each time I have noticed this particular pale green colored food truck parked at various places along Highway 12 and always seem to have a crowd. That's definitely a good sign. So Iast month, I finally stopped in my tracks to check them out. They were parked in front of the old skate and board shop across from the high school. There was plenty of street parking. The fella that took my order was funny and had a great attitude. I bought a couple of street tacos, one cabeza and the other carne asada. The Hubs also got two, but his was a carnitas and a carne asada. They were $3 each. The meat was piled up on the flour tortillas. The asada was good. It had yummy crisp edges and great flavor. The cabeza was firm while being melt in your mouth tender. But hold up, I tasted some of Hubs carnitas. Ohhh it was delicious. That was definitely my favorite. We ate the tacos right there on the spot at the picnic tables. read more

The food was nasty I took a bite of the burrito and straight to the trash that shit was bland and nothing Mexican at all, honestly go to McDonalds. read more

I just had a breakfast burrito from this truck truck, first complaint. I had a chorizo breakfast burrito. Literally, half of the burrito was oil squirting from everywhere. Disgusting never have I ever had a burrito where the oil was just everywhere, Taco Bell and McDonald's is way better than this truck, also they charge a 10.25 on credit cards and debit talk about a racket, whoever's thinking of going there you're better off going to Taco Bell or McDonald's. Have a good day. read more

This food truck has very delicious and big XL shrimp burritos! They were generous with the shrimp and guacamole in the burrito. It tasted super fresh and my toddler son really enjoyed it too (and he can be very critical of restaurants). We just called ahead and the burritos were ready as soon as we got there. Definitely coming back next time we're in Sonoma! read more

not only was this the best al pastor burrito i've had this year, but the friendliest most helpful staff ever. I could not make up my mind between meat choices and they offered me a tasting plate so i could order exactly what i wanted. the burrito was also very large for 13$ and everything about this place is awsome support local family businesses thank you el coyote read more

Amazing food, friendly staff, and one of the best food trucks in Sonoma! Fast and great service every time we go!

I won't come back carne asada had so much fat, the rice, beans and guacamole were bland. Nice! looking food truck thoe. read more

Torta al Pasteur sandwich was fabulous. The bread was sour or French roll and I love it! I would drive here just for another one!

Have you ever heard of a Mexican Food Truck having yummy burgers?! El Coyote's are actually REALLY good! They are full of flavor and so juicy - definitely grab a couple of napkins to enjoy. You can customize your burger and order with one or two patties. And, their Mexican hot dogs... you know, the hot dogs wrapped in bacon that are topped with salsa, drizzle of crema, condiments - Oh. Sooo. Good!!! Might as well get two of those, when you finish one you'll wish you would have ordered two - trust me. Tacos and Burritos are good too - but, the burgers and hot dogs stand out the most for me. Although El Coyote has raised their prices a bit (I mean, which business hasn't), I feel they are still fairly priced. read more

After several great trips here and love walking by and supporting a neighborhood business, sad to say this place is not vegetarian safe. I love this business for being local, fast, and reliable-- they'll even stay open when it's raining-- and I sometimes stop by just to grab an ice cold drink bc it's easy to pull up at the curb right outside the truck. I've had some good burritos here over the last couple years but the more recent few times I ordered from them there was meat in my veggie burrito, or chicken mixed into a simple rice bean and cheese burrito. They also said the side of rice and beans is vegetarian but it doesn't taste like it. I won't order food here again but I wouldn't discourage a friend who eats meat from trying it out. read more

Great food awesome people working, highly recommended For a food truck this is great read more

What a great stop! We were in the middle of a couple wine tastings and were looking for some quick substance and this hit the spot. The tacos were fresh, authentic, and plentiful - we had both chicken and steak. The nachos did not strike me as anything special, with the chips and cheese being a bit ballpark reminiscent. At the same time, I love a good ballpark nacho and once you add in their chorizo and fresh toppings (and hot sauce!) it also was a very satisfying treat. read more

Came here during a recent trip wine country! My friends and I did an experience at an animal sanctuary and were rerouting to Sonoma for wine tasting, but decided to stop here for a quick bite beforehand. This is a cute little food truck, with a few picnic tables on the side where you can eat. I decided to order the al pastor taco salad and my fiance got the carnitas burrito, and we all had some chips and guac to split. The portion size for all the dishes (including the guac) was pretty big which was really nice! The salad was chockfull of different ingredients including tomatoes, lettuce, grilled zucchini, beans, rice and came on a really delicious flour tortilla so you could wrap it up if you want to as well. My fiance seemed to really enjoy his burrito as well! The chip and guacs were good and it was nice to have so much, but the guac could've been a little better seasoned. Great little pit stop for a quick bite! read more

El Coyote - taco salad with al pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Sonoma, California

Completely overpriced. No longer serve menu items that have been on the menu for decades. Subpar service.

Great Mexican food with asada and al pastor. I tried the al pastor tacos and a steak burrito. Portions are good size and filling. The burrito had rice, beans, avocado, tomato and choice of meat. Depending on the time of day there can be a line but i got lucky and walked right up. They have plenty of seating with umbrellas and take credit card. read more

Why has it taken so long to write this review? Apologies to the hard-working burrito masters at El Coyote! This stand-out food truck is truly the best spot for lunch in the city of Sonoma. Always delicious burritos and tacos and a happy, enthusiastic staff to greet you. Never disappointed with the carne asada, and I love that summer burrito as well. Would I like a bit more ambiance? Sure! I'd love a quiet, shady spot to enjoy their tacos and a cerveza, but they do their best to make you comfortable. Fresh tastes, quiet spot (don't miss the seating in the back!), reasonable prices. We'd be lost in Sonoma without you, El Coyote! Please grow and spread and bring your delicious offerings to Santa Rosa and beyond! Sonoma is lucky to have ya. read more

This food truck is very popular! We got there just in time for the lunch rush. I had and enjoyed the Summer Burrito with beef. The Ranch dressing threw me off, but it was surprisingly pretty good! The service is really fast, too. A lot of people called ahead, very smart. We can't wait to go back. read more

When you pay 15 dollars for a sandwich, you expect something a little more than 2 dollops of dry, room temp chicken, some lettuce and sauce. Taqueria Sonoma has a torta for the same price with twice as much meat, twice as much bread, hot. You made it room temp and somehow small and dry. Do better!!! Or the free market will do it for you! Who sells chicken out of their truck that tastes twice cooked? I feel robbed and you should feel ashamed. read more

We are excited to have El Coyote at this Saturday's Harvest Festival at Sonoma Garden Park! 10/5/24, 11am-3pm.

Food truck. Solid uncompromised Mexican (Fast) Food. Had just the carne asada tacos. Flavorful, Nice Maillard sear on the meat, moist and good fat content not dried out. Medium spice salsa, onions cilantro topping very good. Well portioned. There are a few picnic benches to eat on or wait for your order. A great place for a quick bit if you are in the mood for Mexican Food. read more

We hoped for better. The bean and cheese burritos ordered with LIGHT amount of cheese was more of a cheese burrito with light beans. The beans were also somewhat bland. We ended up eating about a quarter and throwing the rest away. The two beef tacos were quite good, but small. They forgot to give us our chips and salsa, as well as the fork. The very corn flavored chips are not my favorite type and not homemade. The guy running the register used his bare hands to scoop the chips into the bag. read more

What a pleasant surprise! We walked down to the truck after checking out as our last stop in Sonoma and we must have gotten lucky because it wasn't busy (yet). Moments after our order they had a whole line! It was wild. Anyway, I had a chorizo quesadilla and my husband had a trio of tacos. Everything was delicious! The food came out piping hot, and very quick. They had a couple of tables nearby which was the perfect spot to enjoy our meal before walking back. read more

I been to El coyote a couple of times since they are closed to my work. They are across the street from the high school and something that I like about them is that student that can't leave campus they can place their order and they walk them over to deliver them. I always order their super burrito. Wish I like and enjoy. The owners are really nice and friend. read more

We had brunch here this morning and opted for this place because I was craving some tacos. So glad that we did. We devoured everything we ordered. We had a small nacho plate with added Pickled jalapeños and carne asada and carnitas tacos. So good. I had their Cabeza taco too and Omg. Drools. The best Cabeza taco ever!! Highly recommend! read more

I take back my previous statement about the breakfast burrito. They have changed the formula, and its really good, I haven't tried the ham option, but the bacon or chorizo options are really good, or both bacon and chorizo combined, you can't go wrong either way. read more

Excellent Mexican, truck on the side of the road and lots of diners at the picnic benches in front of the skate shop. Truth be known, secret is their fresh tortilla. Carne Asada is good, about to test drive the ham and bacon breakfast burrito that the couple in front of me said they've eaten three days in a row it's so good! Owner (Jose) is super, super nice and just wants to make sure you're happy. Gave the burrito a lifetime guarantee :) -- post breakfast review -- I pride myself on good Mexican food from my San Diego next to the border upbringing, and I'm confirming the breakfast burrito is likely the best I've ever had. Jorge pitched me into the ham + bacon, all freshly cooked. Rocked. Again, secret is the super hot homemade tortilla. read more

It didn't bode well when my order got lost. Then the woman asks for my order number which she never gave me nor the receipt. It was my first time there so I wasn't sure how the process worked. I ordered a shrimp burrito for my husband with NO sour cream or cheese. Well, he got sour cream anyway. I ordered nachos but when I got home and saw what was in the package, I was really surprised - soggy chips with Velveeta cheese and some onions. (guac on the side which was fine) No beans. Awful soupy cheese. No jalapeños. I would have expected better from Taco Bell. Won't be going back. read more

El Coyote Food Truck - ordered the Al Pastor tostada and taco. The tostada is a full meal in its own. Crispy tortilla and topped with beans, avocado, zucchini, lettuce, tomato and cheese. I found it to be a little bland. Street taco was good - topped with the typical cilantro and onion and served with radishes and limes on the side. read more

Tucked in quite Sonoma, is the perfect little Mexican food truck in the middle of wine country. It's two teenagers or maybe they were in their early twenties, making the food & they did a pretty good job. It's not the best burrito that I've had in the Bay Area, but it's tasty and I would defiantly go back. read more

En route to a highly rated Sonoma-based Mexican restaurant I passed by the El Coyote food truck and took note of its favorable yelp ratings. Moments later, finding myself inching along in bumper to bumper traffic, I made an executive decision to scrap my intended destination and opt for the destination in immediate reach. Despite being a food truck, El Coyote isn't what I'd call fast food, That's not a complaint but rather, an observation that food is prepared to order and doing so well takes a bit of time. Within about 10 minutes of ordering I was sitting under an umbrella'd picnic table (beside the truck, in front of a surf/skate shop) savoring a uniquely tasty carne asada taco salad ($8.50). What made it unique and what surprised me, was that this was a taco salad with a muted flavor profile as opposed to the flavor profile I normally associate with Mexican fare. I'm generally not one to seek out zucchini on or in anything but this taco salad featured it, gently grilled or sautéed and topped with melting cheese and it was a throwback reminder to the sort of food I once prepared for myself at home, finishing off with a bit of time under a broiler to ensure I'd get melted cheese in each stringy bite. This was a delicious taco salad, well-balanced, even though it didn't feature the zing of hot salsa or the tang of pico de gallo. I went back to the truck hoping for a bit of either but beside the truck there was only Tapatio, which doesn't quite carry the load of what I was seeking. Still, even without the desired kick of spiciness and heat, I thought this taco salad was delicious, falling into the category of "I didn't know that's what I'd like, but I most certainly did". If you're passing by El Coyote and craving a unique rendition of Mexican fare, well-prepared with care, give 'em a try. I ate every bit of my taco salad and I imagine your experience will be no different. read more

El Coyote - A very good, unique taco salad (with Carne Asada, $8.50). - Food Trucks Near Me - Sonoma, California

After seeing the other reviews, we were very disappointed. Don't expect a Mexican style bacon wrapped hotdog. I attached a photo. Don't know what they're going for. The hotdog was barely cooked, and then some bacon strips and pico de gallo we're thrown on top. We tried 4 different kinds of tacos. Pastor, asada, chorizo, and cabeza. All of them were bad. Some descent salsa would have helped, but when I asked for spicy salsa, she said they didn't have any. Ugh. read more
