This is the kind of place where you go for the margaritas sold by the pitcher, first. The mezcal margaritas by the pitcher are a helpful sign. If you're there for food first and margaritas second, you've come to the wrong place. It's not authentic, it's not even Tex-Mex, it's the kind of food you get at the retirement home on taco night. We had to salt their store bought chips, kind of bland. read more

We went to Coyote Flaco in Stanfordville for Valentine's Day dinner and had a wonderful time. Excellent food, service, and ambiance. The food was fresh, generous, and delicious, as were the drinks. Very friendly service. A lovely decorated and cozy restaurant with affordable prices. Convenient location. read more

This place is just ok. There isn't any good sit down restaurants in Stanfordville or Pine Plains that don't break the bank and have a good atmosphere and vibe. The margaritas are great, strong and worth the price and they do to go drinks.Food tastes old, dried up and microwaved. I hear the people here are typically nice but they must have just been fed up with it being slow the day we came. Everyone on their phones the entire time, and started clacking silverware and abruptly turning the music off at 8:00 even though they are open til 930. We had a high tab. I have worked in hospitality for over 10 years and would have gotten fired for that. Being the only place in town for a sit down restaurant, first impressions are everything. I'd go back for a couple drinks but food never again, I'm sorry read more

I cannot rave about this place enough. Everytime we go everyone leaves happy. My son was squealing he was so happy woth the food read more

Awesome dinner! Was visiting from out of town and looking for a place near where we were staying and we loved it. 3 of us shared a margarita pitcher and it was really great. Meals were great, service was good, and the vibe was decent as well. Would recommend if you're near there. read more

The Food was better than any Latin American or Spanish restaurant outside of Texas and California. I came in from Florida after being away from REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD. I got used to the way others made it in their country . It was very refreshing and it was a very special surprise to find such quality food and more than reasonable prices in a small town on a road that you would pass without thinking twice during the day. At night it has lights and is welcoming. They make the food fresh and nothing is ever from the day before. It's a family legacy restaurant from what I understand and the daughter who I had the pleasure meeting is awesome. If your up here visiting and you want great food in a rustic and countryside environment make sure you stop by. The shrimp is what I'm gonna get tonight . Maybe I'll try some others as well. Yummy now I'm hungry. read more

I wish I could give a glowing recommendation, but the food quality is unfortunately not great. El guacamole is light years better.

Very authentic and excellent food and margaritas. A super find in a small town - highly recommend!!

This used to be an old school diner in Stanfordville about 20 years back, and now a family owned and operated Mexican restaurant. The food has gotten much better in the last year or so. Really good service, live music outdoors on Fridays, gets quite busy when it's beautiful weather out... and I have to give it five stars for having all of the above in upstate New York. Of course, you won't find any diversity here in the crowd, but the pork tacos are great, same with the trio enchiladas. We also got the stuffed peppers and tamales. It'll never taste like the tacos you find alongside roads in Mexico, but I really enjoy this family operated joint in the middle of Dutchess county. Nice ambience indoors and out! read more

Of coyote flaco is an option to make a stop on your road trip than make the stop here. Before I start ; the name... come on. What a freaking cool name for a restaurant. You won't have an issue looking for parking. They offer inside and outdoor seating. I like sitting out but the horsefly made it a bit uncomfortable. So I suggest you eat inside during the day. Inside it's decorated with colorful and lively colors. It seems to be a family run business which had me hoping the food were family recipes. On that account I was not disappointed. I had ordered their take on a skirt steak and it was absolutely delicious. Probably the best I have ever had with a volcano flow of flavors. Not your traditional skirt steak at a Hispanic restaurant. Tip: it's served on a hot plate, so make sure you order it rare if it you want it medium because it's going to continue cooking on the plate unless you transfer it quickly. The yellow rice was good with the beans. The sweet plantains were cooked perfectly which for some reason some restaurants mess up. By the way their drinks are not poured with a measuring apparatus. Enjoy and drink responsibly. From a local I spoke with it's the best they have and thankful it's really good. read more

Amazing food and I was surprised. Bring the second time in this area for camping, this is about the best Mexican food I had in a long time. We started with some free chip and salsa and they are very generous for a refill. They are so good either we are starving or carving for food. Jalapeño margarita is the best item on the menu. Don't skip it. Don't go for the frozen one because they are that much weaker and too sweat. We ordered a few entrees. They are all amazing. I started with beef taco and it's about the best tacos I ever had. My friends got the fajita and all. Every dish is an art. We came here twice on a weekend and that's something. We pick this over fancy French so you got to pick on this. read more

Awesome food! We were visiting the area and found this place on our way! Authentic Mexican food! We enjoyed it very much

The food was really good, the service not so much. I usually dont have time to write the review while at the restaurant but over 15 min. waiting for the check (just asked for a second time) affords you that opportunity. The other thing that was kinda lame was the measly portion on the chips and the guacamole. Best of all, after the 2nd nearly empty basket they tell you that you'll be charged for the 3rd. Now the good. All of the plates we ordered were very good - we ordered each of the burritos. read more

WAY OVERPRICED AND RUDE. Customer service is very unprofessional. I placed a relatively large order and picked it up. They didn't include everything I ordered and paid for. When I called to let them know I was missing a roasted vegetable quesadilla and two salads, they said they had packed everything I ordered and refused to provide what I paid for. Go to Chipotle, you have a better chance of actually getting the meal you pay for at a fair price! read more

Excellent food. Great pricing. Happened to be in the area and decided to go in. Impressed with the menu, seating, food preparation as well as the cleanliness. I would definitely return. read more

Family run business and they are all lovely. Service is always great. Never have a bad time or food. Friday they have live music, it's a good time. The margarita's are yummy, food is consistent and does not take long to be served. My go to place on Friday. read more

Excellent every time!. Enchiladas were the best and margaritas always delicious. Custom orders are never a problem. Polite and gracious staff. read more

My go to test of any new Mexican restaurant is to order cheese enchiladas as I figure if they can't get that right the rest of the menu will be equally as bad. Coyote Flaco's Enchiladas Rojas with cheese we're excellent rated right up there with dishes I've tasted in Laredo and better Mexican restaurants in Houston. Missed peas in the rice but it was also delicious as were the beans. My wife's Chili Relleanos with cheese were equally as good as was the Guacamole. Definitely set for another trip to Coyote Flaco the next time we're Upstate. read more

Great food and service. It's nice to have an authentic Mexican store in our little home town.

Good, staff is very nice, great food, great service, great people in general, definitely recommend

Delicious. Good value because everything comes with sour cream and guacamole. Lunch special is even better value

Absolutely terrible. Ordered two burritos, drove 20 minutes to go get them, got home, and found one in the bag. Called to ask if someone could deliver - "No, I'm too busy." Asked for a credit - "No, I'm too busy." Stay far away from this place. read more

Best margaritas and Mexican food in our area. Great music on Fridays by the Stanfordville swings. Great local people friendly environment especially nice eating outdoors summertime. read more

Very good TexMex food and great service. We ate outdoors in a very casual and nice setting.

Food was Trish, fast and authentic. Service was nice as we called order ahead for indoor dining on a Friday night. Live music was a bonus.

Hidden Gem! We've passed this place so many times and finally stopped. It was a nice date night. Sangria was great, guacamole on point, and Tres Leches cake delicious. Fajitas and enchiladas were very good. We will definitely be back next time with the kids for their expansive kids menu. read more

Easy to get in and out nice place to eat the food is great amazing staff I love their taco salads

Went there to get a large side of guacamole the lady completely ignored me when I got there. Then proceeded to charge me 17$ for just a small container of guacamole. My husband asked if there was chips for it and she said no. He then proceeded to ask if she would serve it like that it we were seated and she said yes, so what are people just eating guacamole by the spoon as a meal for 17$? Very disappointed and disturbed at the poor customer service and what a rip off! Will not be going back. read more

My husband, mother-in-law and I love Mexican food and have frequented quite a few all over the state. Our favorite was in Carmel, NY but sadly since moving father north we don't get to go anymore. Thought Coyote Flaco could be a welcomed replacement. Good god, that'll never happen. To start, the salsa was made with ketchup. KETCHUP. Just because it's red and was once a tomato doesn't mean it belongs in salsa. It's obvious they were running low and chose to extend what they had left with a hamburger condiment. The plating was imaginative, I'll give them that. Too bad the best part about the food was the presentation. Husband ordered chorizo and got some sort of kielbasa. Mother in law got sick midway through the meal and apparently her meal was as appetizing coming up as it was going down. The only credit where credit is due is that our server was very nice. In no way is this authentic Mexican food, don't be fooled. We will stick to our previously new found favorite, Avocado Cafe. Conveniently located in Millerton and Amenia. read more

lovely place and lovely people. we are lucky to have them nearby . it's a local family run business and some of the out of towers who wrote negative reviews aren't coming here to be in a warm friendly environment with well cooked fairly priced food. its a neighborhood hangout so maybe better if they stick to their own neighborhood. the outdoor seating is especially nice and live music is always fun. and check out their wonderful mural. read more

Lovely service, stellar Margaritas and very GOOD Mexican food in this cozy small town restaurant. Sometimes Grandma is in the kitchen if it's not too late. Nice for take out. as well. Note it sometimes looks closed because of the soft lighting. It's not(only on Monday). read more

Food very good as well as the service . The carne ranchera is delicious. Everyone liked and enjoyed the food served.
