Arrived a little after 7pm and we grabbed a couple seats at the bar. The bar was lively and buzzing as a USA team was playing a World Cup game. We were provided water and menus. We ordered the Carne Asada burrito and Mixto Salad. We also shared a Mother Road IPA with our meal. First to arrive was complementary chips and salsa, which was excellent. Fresh and crispy chips and salsa with a little bite. Our server Joe was very friendly and attentive. Our mains arrived about 20 minutes later. The carne asada burrito was delicious. Meat was flavorful and juicy. Accompanied by rice, black beans and a roasted jalapeño. Loved the roasted jalapeño! My friend enjoyed the Mixto Salad, a hearty vegetarian meal with romaine lettuce, black beans, avocados, tomatoes in a nice cilantro line avocado dressing. This was intended to be just a quick bite before a show although the experience exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning! Highly recommended! read more

Hubby & I had a late dinner here while staying the night at the hotel for my birthday. You get waters & chips with 2 salsas to start. The chips were flavorless. The mild (red) salsa was good. The other salsa has a back heat that finally caught up with hubby, & he loves spicy. Hubby ordered a create your own margarita. I forget the name of it, then he added pineapple & a shooter of Curacao. He's a beer drinker for the most part, but enjoys a margarita every now & again. One margarita did the trick, & he had a buzz. We ordered the queso. It wasn't anything special as it had no flavor. It was supposed to have green chilies in it, but the only thing green in it was the green onions on top. Our server told us about the stuffed poblano pepper with hamburger & cheese, served with jalapeño rice. He said it was spicy. Hubby loved it, but said it wasn't spicy at all. I had the tacos loco. It's cheese rolled in a flour tortilla and crispy. It comes with a jalapeño cream on top. I do not do spicy at all. It was a little spicy for me, but not too bad. We had excellent service! Our food came out quickly. read more

We arrived in Scottsdale a bit too early to check in to our hotel so we decided to pass time here at the Talking Stick Casino and ended up having dinner at the Blue Coyote. For food, we ordered shrimp enchiladas, chicken enchiladas and steak torta and a red sangria, all was good and tasty. Our waiter was friendly and on point. The dinning area is spacious, looking out to a cozy outdoor patio with comfy couches and such. We were surprised at the quality, price and level of service we've got here. read more

The service here was great! The staff were friendly, the food was good, and they offer complimentary chips and salsa--which was actually very tasty. The ambience was amazing: everything was decorated for Christmas, and there was a DJ playing upstairs, which made the whole experience really fun. We originally came in just to grab a burrito to go because we had a bad experience at Tosh and our family decided they was so annoyed they didn't want any casino restaurant food and we was too tired to leave. We planned to just sit outside by the fire and eat a burrito, but a staff member seated us and even told me it was okay to finish the appetizer I had brought from tosh . She apologized for the experience we had elsewhere, which was incredibly kind. From there, everything just kept getting better. We were served water, chips, and salsa right away, before we could tell them we was ordering to go and glad we didn't we ended up ordering margaritas and more food, and before we knew it, the whole night had completely turned around. The only missing star is because the margaritas was terrible i could finish it , too much sweet & sour or lemonade lol I honestly wish I had brought my whole family here--we would've had a great time. I'm definitely going to try to bring them back before they fly out because the experience was fun, welcoming, and exactly what we needed that night & even our server was kind!! read more

The best part of the meal was actually the chips and salsa. The tacos themselves were good but I found myself squeezing lime on every bite just to bring out some flavor. The beans and rice were tasty though, the rice was fluffy. What really wowed me was the price! two margaritas came out to $40, which felt overpriced for what we got.. read more

Wow just wow!!!! The worse experience ever.... The waiter was really rude service was awful. Drinks were sitting up at bar for a while before our waiter decidedto bring them over. Ordered food the place was not busy and it took 45 minutes for our food to come out. It was ice cold when it was dropped off. We asked for a manager the host told the waiter he ignored us for 5 minutes then strolled over hunched over me and said-What's up?" When I explained we wanted a manager he demanding to know what the problem was. I explained I wanted to talk to a manager. He then said I was rude and stormed off. Manager was nice but we left without eating and knowing we would t be back. Bottom Line do NOT eat here!!! read more

The tables are sticky, the tortillas taste like dusty cardboard and the only flavor is in the beans. But the service is awesome.

I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices and the high quality of a meal at the Coyote Cantina inside the Talking Stick casino. With the horrific sounds of the casino's 80's house band reverberating, we escaped to the Cantina for a fair priced, large and very strong margarita. The chips were thin warm and fresh and crispy. The salsas were amazing including the really hot one. I had a shrimp taco plate with all rice no beans. I really loved the Chipotle shrimp, which was recommended by our bartender as one of his personal favorites. Very flavorful and the shrimp were prepared perfectly. Companion had the quesabirria tacos with consomme and enjoyed them a lot but they didn't look griddled and gooey enough to me compared to others I have eaten. We were practically the only ones here at 8:00 p.m. on a Saturday night, surprising! A hidden gem! read more

Good food , good service and good drinks . Can't ask for anything more . The only reason you might not like the place is it's noisy . The 2nd floor of the casino is open right above and it's where they allow bands to play . But if you do t mind that definitely worth giving a shot . Love how you can build your own margarita read more

1st the food was very tasty! The ambience is very nice but my walk away from this restaurant was the server! Josh was amazing, young admirable man with a bright future ahead of him. my husband and I were visiting here on memorial weekend and Josh was our server. He immediately stood out to me as a very astute proper young man, he suggested the salmon tacos, which were amazing. His service is very accommodating. I told him he may have a future radio broadcast, his voice stood out and he made an impression on Josh. I hope all works out well for you in the future. read more

Not bad Mexican food for being at a casino. The chips and salsa were delicious I prefer the spicy salsa more then the mild. The main course was the carne asada burrito with a side of rice and black beans. The beef had good seasoning and not overpowering. read more

I got the pork torta. Was weird to have a sauce poured over it considering it's a sandwich and wouldn't have been able to pick it up to eat so used a fork a d knife. Ended up not eating the bread as the sauce made it soggy and I didn't care for it. The pork was very good spicy and delicious. The other item we ordered were ok as well The chips that came were very good. The Salsas were super good. The spicy one was my favorite. We wanted to go the the Louisiana place but it was busy so went here instead. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. The sangria was delicious and stronger than I expected. read more

What a joke of a place to eat ! First they serve us with plastic container with salsa, chips are like cardboard , no taste no salt. Had to ask for salt 3 times. Margirita was a joke as well , 15$ for sugar water. Our dinner came. Even worse! the menu said mixed cheeses with 3 types of meat pick one. 2 enchailada no cheese, about 2 tablespoons of meat diced to about 1/4 inch is size. Made them with the street taco size tortillia. Don't eat there!!!! read more

I'm impressed. And shall I say in shock.. who would have ever thought you could get freshly made Tortillas and chips in the casino. I'm kicking myself for all the visits I have had and passing by without trying this hidden gym. The restaurant is located downstairs. You can walk the glowing light up stairs or take a ride on the elevator. Either way you will have beautiful views from the open windows in the restaurant. Your greeted by the hostess staff who will seat you either at a round table or at a high top. They even have a bar area. The extensive menu has some popular items with a nice southwestern//Mexican flare. The price point is not bad either. I love the tacos which comes with beans and rice. The cool part of the menu for the drink lovers is they have a full variety of options. You want a margarita pick a flavor and the type of vodka you want blended. Many creative drink options to choose from. read more

Service is insanely slow even with empty tables all over. We had a group of 8 and there were 3-4 things completely forgotten. Food was mid. Place was overall disappointing read more

This place is located in the Talking Stick Resort. You take the elevator down to level G and make a right. I came a little bit before dinner time and was seated right away. I received house chips and salsa. I had taken a look at the menu before, so I knew I wanted the Shrimp Enchiladas. This was a huge mistake. This literally came out in mins and was rancid. The first bite I took tasted like expired dish soap. I thought maybe it was me. I took a sip of my Peach Margarita, which was ginormous! I cut into my enchilada and tried another bite. As soon as I put it into my mouth, I knew it wasn't me. The food was horrible. I waited for my server to come check in on me. However, 15 mins later she still never came. I let a server walking by know that the products used for the enchilada tasted like they had expired. My plate was taken back. I let the server know I wouldn't be reordering.

Went there Saturday night and got seated quickly, food was great, nice ambience, music from the floor above, looking out the windows you could watch the hoop dancers and Adrianna our server was excellent. Just and overall great experience! read more

Atmosphere is okay since it's close to the windows and next to live music. The food is terrible. Maybe the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Get better food at a drive-thru. The service was okay considering how busy they were, felt understaffed. She was very nice but she has 6 or so tables and one was a large party. Would not go here again. read more

One star for the pozole. One star for our waiter. Not our choice but the birthday boys. We were a large party of 13 so our server was great. Chips even though fresh were extremely thick. Salsa even though it had a kick had a very floral taste that I didn't care for. I ordered the pozole my husband the carne asada burrito. Food arrived fairly quickly considering we were such a large party. My soup was fine, not a lot of pork, mostly hominy but accompaniments fresh. Good taste. Burrito even though large in size left us underwhelmed. Paid extra for enchilada style but had hardly any sauce. What sauce it did have had already soaked into the tortilla leaving it a soggy mess. The cheese on top had a off putting funk to it. My husband just ate the smoky flavored meat inside. Rice and beans tasteless. For $50 for 2 it fell short. Maybe I'm just used to the gringo Mexican in Phoenix, but we'd take one of the Berto Brothers over Blue Coyote any day. read more

My daughter and I ate here before the Fashion Week show. We got the sampler appetizer which was delicious. The server was attentive and didn't mind that we weren't in a hurry. It was a fun people watching night with so many there for the fashion show. Threre was live music upstairs and we might have moved up there if we didn't have the show to attend. We sat near the staircase that was all lit up. So many people took pictures standing on it while we were sitting. Popular photo opp. =) I would like to come back here and try dinner! read more

Food is not good bland no flavor , complementary chips and salsa not good either , chips overly thick and hard , salsa also no flavor ordered the carnitas tacos horrible no flavor , wife ordered chicken tacos she drowned them in the complimentary salsa still didn't taste any better , waitress was awesome, should of known better when food came out quicker then the McDonalds drive thru save your money and stay away read more

A group of eight presented to the blue coyote cantina. We were places on a wait list, with 1 hour wait. Once a text alert was received we presented to the cantina. The hostess said two minutes they where getting the table ready. (the table had been cleared for at least 30 min). After about 30 min from receiving our text alert the hostess asked us our name, and told us to have a seat at the table. We sat at the table only to be yelled at by the staff, who stated we were not to sit yet. We informed them we were asked to take a seat by the hostess. The staff then complained they had to place drinks, chips, and salsa around are party. And then waited approximately 20 minutes to see a waitress. Several tables had been seated after ours and already had beverages and placed orders.... Unprofessional staff, bad service! read more

I have to say there is more to the casinos in most cases than gambling. Some of the best restaurants and lounges are located in the casinos. While in Talking Stick I went to the downstairs water Coyote Cantina for a light bite to eat. There are plenty of tables but we sat at the bar since the Phoenix Suns game was on the tv. We ordered and chatted with fellow patrons at the bar. The bartender/waitress was very busy but took our and everyone else's with ease. True professional. Our food was tasty, I didn't care for the veggies to much, I thought when I ordered the veg I would get a vegetable medley but is was zucchini. Not a huge fan but I did eat a few of the diced veg. The quesadillas were cheesey amd meaty which I liked. The salad was tasty also. read more

This was a great place to get some good food at the talking stick casino. The cantina is located directly underneath the Palo Verde bar which is directly centered on the floor of the casino. This was a great place to enjoy a margarita, chips and salsa. It has a good assortment of Mexican dishes and a good view of the outside patio area. I had the shrimp enchiladas which were very enjoyable. I do wish there was more in the portion they gave you . But overall it's a great option for dining and not as noisy as the restaurants upstairs. read more

In town for work and stumbled into Talking Sticks. We stopped by Blue Coyote Cantina for Sangria's and queso. The Sangria's are delicious - fresh made and topped with a bounty of fruit. The queso tastes scratch made and topped with roasted poblano's - it's not your heat in a bag queso - you can get that down the street. During a couple of visits I've had both the shrimp tacos and shrimp enchiladas with verde sauce. Both were equally delicious - the shrimp tacos were full of flavor and crunch and the enchiladas with verde was a tangy treat. I had no leftovers. I'm very surprised by the low rating. Staff was attentive and helpful. Definitely a place to return to. read more

Came here on a whim on Tuesday and to our surprise it was taco Tuesday. So $2 tacos all day. Can't beat that! Before we got out food they gave us chips and salsa. You get two types - spicy and regular. I personally preferred the spicy because I enjoy a kick. The tacos were pretty good. Not the best, but definitely not the worst I've had. For the price you can't beat it. I had the shrimp, chicken and al pastor. I liked them all equally. read more

This place is garbage. I've witnessed management talk down to employees. Someone named Linda or Lisa. Very unprofessional. I've witnessed customers yell at servers and bartenders. I can't imagine working there. Turn over must be insane. No opinions on the food. I just stop in for a quick drink after parties. You need to protect your employees from abusive managers and customers. read more

Great place to have a delicious meal. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great too. A sure hit!

Food is always top notch..Tried celebrating a birthday but was annoyed by loud, not so great live music singing upstairs..

Serving sizes are big here. I had the quesadilla with barbocoa and it was tasty. The food came out quickly and the staff were very nice. Recommend stopping in if you are staying at the resort. read more

Love the build your own margarita concept and wish more restaurants offered this kind of variety. My personal fave is the banana margarita and I love that they have numerous brands (at various price points) of tequila to choose from. I myself am NOT a liquor snob. I will drink the cheapest version of whatever's available, so Jose Cuervo was A-OK with me- although my girlfriends scoffed and chose pricier, more "top-shelf" versions for their own margaritas. Whatevs, my $8 HUGE banana margarita made me a verrry happy girl! As far as the service goes, I can't say it's spectacular but it isn't terrible either. The food here is good and reasonably priced which is a big plus. They have really excellent tortilla chips, but the salsa is somewhat bland. I've had quesadillas and shrimp tacos with rice and been pretty pleased with the taste of everything. I'm a big fan of Talking Stick and this is my fave eating establishment here, so I'll definitely be a frequent patron! read more

I would like to commend Christian (manager) and Crystal (server) for their efforts in making our dining experience a delightful one on Sunday prior to the ZZ Top concert. The place was jammed, and yet they were very accommodating and efficient in providing a wonderful dining experience. Christian was "on top of his game" getting us seated, and Crystal could not have been more wonderful in getting our order in quickly and serving us with a smile . Thank you Both!! Must mention, the food was delicious ! read more

Usually a pretty solid choice for dinner when the Mrs. and I are at Talking Stick Resort/Casino. It's nice that they serve two types of salsa with chips to start. There is a pretty standard, but tasty red salsa and a spicier, smoky chipotle salsa that I especially liked. The build your own margarita option is nice because you can tailor you drink to your liking with choice of tequila, mix and liqueur float on top. Chicken Tinga, barbacoa, carne asada are all good choices for tacos. I can not recommend the pork Al Pastor as it was neither authentic nor particularly good since they overdid the addition of pineapple. read more
