The lady who owns the restaurant Gabriella is the most sweetest person and the nicest person I’ve ever met, yes the tacos are 4 bucks each but I promise you it’s worth it for how amazing Gabriella is and the staff. Love. Thank you for showing my friends and I such great hospitality even when we pulled up so late

My first experience eating at the Coyotes Restaurant great food, good company, and cool vibes. I highly recommend for you to try any of their food options and beverages. It was late at night despite the hour this place was jam packed with hungry people, however despite the chaos the staff was able to take care of us. The shrimp tacos were delicious and filling, I was full eating the one taco. The rice was fresh and the horchata was so refreshing. It was perfect beverage to quench my thirst after a fun night at the House of Blues. There’s beautiful artwork displayed all around the restaurant, you won’t get bored while you wait for your food. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff of Coyotes Restaurant. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A late-night taco place with outstanding food and service! Everything is created fresh, and the staff was all very polite! The carne en su jugo soup was the stuff of dreams for my other buddy! After the steak is grilled, the fried bacon and onions are mixed with broth and avocado in a large bowl. Heavenly and rich—complete comfort in a bowl! I'm definitely eager to get back there!
