Ground beef taco hard shell
Luxx P.

Love this place been coming here for years love the customer service love the atmosphere and love their food. We always come and get the hardshell tacos the guacamole with taquitos and the Carne Asada nachos but everything here is amazing. It's a must try if you're here in the city of Colton.

Chicken Taco  I was shocked that it looked like a potsticker... Until I bit into this little pillow of yumminess.
Steve K.

Awesome lil spot will definitely come back. Wifey said Colton Fire Burrito was superb! Chicken tacos... Potsticker of goodness. Beef taco was great to. Service was quick.

Extra hpt sauces and sour cream on the side
Alan A.

Old school taco shop in Colton only outdoor seating and wait times have been a little longer each time I went also the salsa is a bit too spicy. Those are all of the cons and the only reason I would give four stars other than that I think it's definitely worth it when you're craving this chicken tacos are definitely worth getting as they have a special season inside. Seems to me like some type of creaminess like mayo and a lot of black pepper but it's not just dry shredded chicken inside the chicken tacos and they already give you the guacamole sauce. Also heads up each order of chicken taco includes one not too. Definitely get the beef shredded taco maybe ask for extra sour cream or extra tomato and sour cream doesn't come with it and that little red sauce is way too spicy but without it, there's not enough flavor on these tacos with it. It's great. I would definitely come again and it hasn't been too busy when we go always a few people in line, but never overly packed.

Pork Chile Fries. Fries underdone and pool of grease.

Got the chile relleno burrito and the relleno was slimy. Got pork chile cheese fries and flavor was there but the fries were underdone and huge puddle of grease (pic attached). The meat was good but the rest failed. Bean and cheese burrito was good.

Chile Verde Dinner
Paul P.

Food Chile Verde Dinner good amount of pork chunks good flavor . Beans & Rice just normal add Lard for more beans flavor Chicken Tacos bomb like the shape guacamole sauce real good Taquitos good also meat a little dry Service Understand they are just two people but it was good & rude at the same time, ask about Green sauce the guy responded only in Gatorade can appreciate the comeback Ambiance Ok

Sign of the business

Very disappointing experience, mainly due to poor service…read more We were told there would be a 20-minute wait, which was fine. However, after being seated, everything went downhill. It took 5-10 minutes just to get menus and another 15 minutes before our server, Vicky, came to take our order. We ordered everything at once to avoid delays, yet we were never served the usual chips and salsa. The biggest issue was the wait time and lack of attention. While we were sitting there, multiple tables that arrived after us were seated, ordered, ate, and left before we even received our food. Meanwhile, other servers were clearly attentive and efficient with their tables. Our food took about 40 minutes, arrived cold, and came out separately. After that, our server barely checked on us--we had to ask other staff for help. No one came to see how things were or to bring the check. We ended up going to the counter ourselves to pay, and there was no apology at all. This was our second visit with the same server and the same experience. We gave the restaurant a second chance, but unfortunately that was a mistake. We spent over $150, and the level of service did not match that at all. The food itself has good flavor, but the slow and inattentive service completely ruins the experience. Sadly, we won't be returning.

After I used it and we decided we didn't want anything, the cashier told us we had to buy something because I used the restroom. If that's their policy, it should be communicated before someone uses the restroom, not afterward. The way it was handled felt rude and unnecessary. Instead of politely explaining the rule, the cashier demanded and insisted we had to purchase something, even though we were genuinely considering ordering when we came in. Respect goes both ways, and the interaction left us feeling unwelcome. Clear communication and basic courtesy would've prevented this situation.

AL Coyote or EL Coyote? Both, apparently. Even the signs inside aren't conclusive…read more 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…read moreStreet, 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
