⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Shamrock Mermaid
Have been going to El Coyote for years. I consider it Stephanie approved. I’ve lived in highly populated areas where Hispanic food is everywhere. They make good Mexican. I’ll drive there from Huntsville often for it. They have the thinnest crispest chips with the best salsa! I got the street taco deal with one extra taco. My husband got the fajita nachos. They were both delicious. The fruit punch margarita was so good. My husband asked for a regular margarita but he got the blue. It was ok, he liked it more than I did. We spent $65 bucks. I won’t be getting drinks again. For me $12 dollars is too much for that size of margarita. Way too much.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — James Farley
The hubris con chorizo was so good on this cold day. The server was very nice and on too of everything. Been having a difficult time lately and this place cheered me up for sure. Give it a try!
