Our go to for Mexican food. The building is leased don't judge the by looking at the building. I have been eating there for almost 15 years. Great family owned restaurant, family operated. Service is just as fantastic as the food. read more

Stop by ! Attentive and kind service from start to finish. The food came out fast, and everything was delicious. I loved the ceviche, and my husband couldn't stop talking about the smoked chicken burrito--it was a must-try! Yes ! They smoked the meats in a barrel outside. We'll definitely be back when in the area! read more

Coyotes Mexican - Coyote's menu - Mexican Near Me - Lockeford, California

Great Mexican food and friendly staff. It is a local hometown favorite and easy to get to if you are traveling on HWY 88 to the Sierras.

Their carnitas is the best. The owner and everyone that works here are so friendly. They recently remodeled the inside and it looks great.

We always have amazing food when we come here! The service is always top notch. It's a small quaint little place with a full bar and very friendly staff and quick service. We are never dissatisfied when we come to coyotes! read more

Coyotes Mexican - Flautas with chicken and a side of beans. Super yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Lockeford, California

I've been eating here for about a year. Without fail, I pick up my favorite meal here once a week. 3 item dinner combo of smoked carnitas burrito and two crispy beef tacos. Looking forward to this meal gets me through the toughest of work weeks. If you are on the fence about eating here, remember my order and get that. You CANT be disappointed. The salsa is phenomenal. It's not over chunky or overly soupy. It's just right with the right amount of smoky flavor. The staff is sweet and nice as well. read more

Today I visited here on my way to work and I'm very happy with the service first of all ordered over the phone and requested the Arroz Con Pollo with extra vegetables and asked how long it would take. I was very happy when he told me it would only be 10 minutes because that meant I had enough time to stop and get it before I had to go to work then called back, and I asked for the exact total so I can have the money ready for him when I arrived, so I was already being a bugaboo as it was if that wasn't enough when I arrived, I said, can I please have a Pepsi really quick to take with me as well which I should've ordered on the phone but he still was very quick about the process he had my order ready for me when I walked in the door and had my drink for me within seconds and then I was out the door off to work. It may not seem like that big of a deal but it really is a big deal when you're in a hurry to get to work on time it means a lot to have great customer service like that a restaurant that can help you be on your way as fast as possible, it's not their job to make me on time to work so I really appreciate it. read more

Our first time here. Food was good. I got green chicken enchiladas. The service was on top. The guy refilled our water without us having to ask. The salsa for the tortilla chips was amazing we finished them and got both refilled. The size of the restaurant I'll guesstimate seats like 50 people more or less. I would come here again to try other items from the menu. I recommend this place. read more

Great food and bar. Fabulous margaritas! Try the chili verdes and any of the specials. You won't be disappointed. read more

We go monthly at least and have always had the greatest food and service... Ownership is there and hands on...beer is always cold read more

Food tastes like old grease, poor quality. Inside establishment is dirty, dingy and needs a total update on window cleaning, treatments and dining furniture. read more

The food is delicious! I recommend their shredded beef skillet. Very flavorful and just the right amount of spice!

Food is fresh and delicious. The bowels come with fresh smoked veggies and the margaritas are great. The smoked tacos are awesome and the service is always helpful and fast. The restaurant is usually pretty full of locals and passers through. The decor is bright and makes you feel like you are in Mexico. read more

My 7 year old son was very happy with our dinner and requested to post his review (everything to follow will be typed by him): "I love this and this is the best,keep doing a great job,I will give you a 15 star rating!" Marcello read more

I have been told several times by my parents to try this place as well as my boss. One day my boyfriend and I were trying to figure out what we wanted to eat and I said how about Mexican let's go give this place a try! The ambience is mediocre and the seating area is a bit small. However the food really makes up for all of that! The fajitas were very tasty and seasoned well. The chips and salsa alone were phenomenal. The young man server was great. The food came out really fast and was very authentic. read more

I got chicken taquitos and the chicken was so dry and bland I was super disappointed and didn't eat it...wouldn't stop there again. Salsa was gross and the guacamole was just smashed avocado with no seasoning or anything in it. Don't recommend. read more

Okay as far as Mexican food goes. Nothing special. Filled my tummy in a time of need.

Coyotes is consistently really excellent food. Very tasty and good portions. It's priced well and their service is prompt and friendly. We go there at least once a month. Try it. read more

This local spot serves really excellent Mexican food! With a bit of a twist on a Mexican street taco, the smoked chicken is delicious! My husband always gets the enchiladas de camaron which is perfectly prepared. The service is wonderful and friendly, making out-of -Townes's feel right at home! read more

Stopped in on our way home to get takeout burritos for lunch. Wait staff we awesome, super friendly & welcoming, she got us drinks while we waited. Bartender came in & he was also super nice and accommodating. Grabbed burritos & we were on our way. They were great, salsa was great, couldn't be happier. We'll be back next time we travel this way. Really appreciated the hospitality and great food. read more

The food was outstanding and hospitality very generous!! The chips were fresh, hot, and thin. The salsa mild but flavorful. We ordered two items: The carne asada taco salad and the smoked chicken kale bowl. Both bowls were beautifully decorated. The two different types of meat were grilled and deliciously seasoned. The veggies were firm, yet tender. There was a generous portion of delicious guacamole on both dishes! Overall, each item and it's components were exquisitely seasoned and perfectly cooked. Definitely among the best Mexican food I've ever had. Bonus: the owners were very accommodating to us! It was 96 degrees that day, and the air conditioning in the restaurant was nice and cool, but we sat on the outside patio in the shade with our elderly pet in his carrier. There was a chili garden (and they offer the guests fresh chilis!) with other tall green foliage surrounding the patio. With a slight breeze, the ambiance was inviting and relaxing. It brought us great peace of mind to have our pet with us and not in the hot car. read more

We moved into the area almost 10 years ago and around that time we are there and it was ok. Well once the owners son took over he made changes that included revised menu re introducing family recipes and found the right cooks who know their stuff, plus he cooks as well and it has been soo good now for awhile that it's my favorite. The homemade salsa is on another level always consistently tasty that people take out a large container for home. The Carnitas are well cooked and crispy, not like other places where you see pink or a lot of fat. To sit at the bar watching sports with a beer and Nachos is the perfect setting when I'm by myself. The staff is awesome and looking at the amount of customers is one way you know it's gotta be good! read more

Coyotes is a local restaraunt for us. Everyone there is attentive, inviting, and the food is great! It's a family favorite and we especially love Taco Tuesdays. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area! read more

Great food and great customer service. Nice ambiance This place guy always feel welcomed and everything on the menu is fantastic. First Mexican food restaurant I recommend to anyone. read more

We've tried to go there 3 times and it's always closed when the website states it's open. In fact, it looks like it permanently closed.. vegetation overgrown, awnings torn .... We will definitely give it a try the next time we roll through read more

Pretty good food. I ordered a relleno and shrimp enchiladas and enchilada was bomb. The relleno didn't taste like a poblano pepper but more a canned pepper. Otherwise I would have given it 4 stars. Hubby got a fajitas platter and he said he'd get it again, minus the cheese. He's just not a cheese fan. We had Cadillac margaritas and they were pretty good. They got served in a pint glass and a shot of grand mariniere on the side. Server was nice and as quick as he could be, serving an entire restaurant by himself (being the server and bartender) We will definitely go back again. I'll be having the shrimp enchilada platter. read more

Although this restaurant has a curb appeal opportunity, it is amazing food. The smoked carnitas and chicken are excellent, full of flavor and texture. The carne asada is imo the best in a 25 mile radius. Taco Tuesday tacos, hands down the best in San Joaquin. read more

So it is definitely not Mexican food, but it is cooked well enough. Everything really just lacks flavor. Ambience is good and the place is clean. read more

Great food. Great service. The best Mexican restaurant in Lockeford. The owner and staff are amazing.

I came here with my family. Excellent customer service. Very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a burrito, and it was pretty good!

The owner here is a badass. Came here for lunch today and he is hustling around waiting all the tables himself. My cup was never empty and the service was fast. Not to mention he still stopped to talk to the regulars. read more

The food here is extremely fresh! They have fabulous cooks in the kitchen. Authentic. We always come in with a big group, and they always take good care of us. My favorite is anything with their smoked chicken. We appreciate having such a great option for dining out. read more

If you want good home cooking, this is the place to go. Every time I've been there, it's like walking into your Grandma's kitchen. The smells that greet you as you walk in are amazing! I love their arroz con pollo, Chile Verde, tamales, chili rellenós, and then there's the smoked meats...fantastic! Their salsa is very good not too hot and not too mild, just a nice medium heat and very flavorful. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is always clean. I highly recommend Coyote's Mexican Restaurant! read more

Went to this place for the first time, neighbors told me the food was good. We went on a Sunday night to place a takeout order and have a margarita. When you drive up the awning on the front is completely torn up and the place just looks like it needs some up keep. But don't judge a book by its cover. We walked in sat at the bar, explained to the lady that welcomed us that we wanted to place a take out order and have a drink while we wait. She was very helpful answered our questions and took our order. The margarita was marginal they use the gallon sweet and sour mix, nothing special or fresh. She informed us when she brought the drinks it would be about 30 min they were busy, we said ok and she brought us chips and salsa. The chips were warm and the salsa pretty good. The 30 min wait however took over an hour and honestly the food was not worth the wait. We ordered smoked pork enchiladas that were so salty my dad could barely eat them. A cheese quesadilla that was nothing special to write about, a chicken burrito again it was fine but not worth the wait. A chicken and pork taco that were smoked and pretty salty. So not sure if the wait ruined the food or just marginal food. Probably not going back. read more

One of our top picks for when we go out for dinner. A lot of people may hate because of what it look like on the outside but we absolutely love this place!
