I love their margaritas, the vege bowl and tacos. the homemade chips, guacamole, and salsas are the best! outdoor seating is great

We stopped at El Coyote in a pinch and it completely surprised us... Our plan was to pop into El Coyote for a quick to-go order of tacos, chips/salsa, and a Diet Coke. The person who took our order had a great demeanor and even allowed us to order the lunch special one minute before it was "over". What a guy! While we were waiting for our food, we fell in love with the space. It was so relaxing and welcoming. We grabbed two seats in the sun and when our food came out, we didn't leave! We put our schedule on hold and just relaxed in the cove of El Coyote. As for the food, the chips were fresh and the salsa was flavorful. The Diet Coke hit the spot (as it usually does on a hot summer day), and the street tacos were absolute perfection - moist, filled with an exceptional amount of protein, and served on fresh corn tortillas. It doesn't get much better than that! If you're looking for a chill spot while in DT Vancouver, don't overlook El Coyote Tacos y Tequila. read more

El Coyote Tacos Y Tequila - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

El Coyote Tacos is an experience. Nestled in downtown Vancouver, WA, it's newer to the neighborhood. The restaurant is located next to a local brewery in a very small location with an ajoining courtyard. The courtyard holds the majority of their seating. The bar is limited. "Full bar" is a stretch, but they have a few options outside of beer and a marg. I'm not a fan of margaritas, they were able to scrounge up something for me. Their food is good. Let's start there. Flavor, they're solid. However, their tacos are the absolute greasiest taco I've ever eaten in my life. We all had to ask for extra napkins, twice. Price is fine, their tacos are large. I'm all about supporting local - give El Coyote a try and let's hear your thoughts? Looking forward to seeing them succeed long-term. read more

We found this place on a whim & are happy with the DELICIOUS Food! The staff is so friendly & our lunch was delivered Fast. We Will be back.

Had a really enjoyable experience having dinner with my friend here. The great thing about Latin food is that there is always going to be a gluten-free/dairy-free option for my friend! The tacos themselves were much larger than I expected especially for the really reasonable prices. I would say the taste was pretty on-par with what I could expect from Mexican food in Washington state (sorry everyone, I'm ruined for life growing up so close to the California-Mexico border). I cannot tell you the last time I paid $50 for 3 people to eat before. Although Slow Fox Chili will be missed, I believe these folks found the right venue for their style of food and seriously cannot wait for summer weather to enjoy a margarita (or two) with some wonderful live music on the patio. read more

El Coyote is a solid Mexican restaurant with fun outdoor seating. There appears to only be outdoor seating available currently, however a lot of it is covered and overall it's a big open space. Our server was patient and very friendly. I got the veggie tacos, which were full of a great variety of well seasoned veggies. Additionally, I got a side of beans and rice. The beans were pretty standard and the rice was nothing like Mexican rice. It was a short grain white rice with mixed veggies and not much in terms of flavor unfortunately. The green salsa was able to add a nice kick to everything. read more

Needed dinner after the Christmas tree lighting and decided to try a new place, was intrigued by tacos and tequila. You order with a marker and laminated sheet, there's indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating was really cute! Was very impressed! We got the mango margarita and coyote margarita, both very very delicious!!! All margaritas are reposado according to our server. Food we ordered was chips and guac beans and veggie rice fish tacos and burrito. The chips were delicious, they're not store bought they're thick and crunchy, yum!! The fish tacos were loaded up with all the crunchy ingredients I look for in a fish taco, I added sour cream too. The menu has add one available for pretty much anything which is totally great! All in all I was very happy with the food and our total was $67 before tip. Which is a good value in my opinion! read more

The best margs in town. Happy hour is awesome 10/10 love this place. Highly recommend. Tacos are bomb

My hubby and I just tried this place for an impromptu cinco de mayo date night and all I can say is Wow! What an incredible surprise. The line and service was fast moving. This is one of the few places that's not over inflated. A simple no frills super solid taco spot. One of the best Cadillac margaritas I've ever had and their salsa is loaded with flavor rather than spice. We got the carnitas, chicken, and asada tacos. They were all pretty tasty but the carnitas was our favorite. Super stoked to have them in the Couve! We will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food; we ordered every taco filling choice and our favorites were the pork and the red chunky chicken (?) not sure what type of seasoning. The pinto beans tasted extremely fresh. I would return for a quick casual lunch and the cadillac spicy margarita! read more

Great little restaurant with outside seating. Loved the shrimp tacos! I'll be back for more!

I'm sorry but they have the worst tacos I've ever tasted. Carne Asada lacked any seasoning and it seems like it was precut. You can't just throw onions and cilantro and call it a day. They serve their tacos on a white corn tortillas too. Not Authentic!!! The chicken tacos were dry. Service was great. read more

The best tacos we have had since Baja. We had the shrimp and fish tacos. They were fresh and tasty & the tacos were large in size. The atmosphere was very chill and service exceptional. El Coyote has a great outdoor patio that is kid friendly! The service was friendly and quick. We will be back and we will bring our family! read more

Love the setting of the place. I see lots of good reviews and will try again. Our first visit we had the happy hour taco platter and two of the tacos I think the pastor were so salty we couldn't eat them. The home fried flour tortillas chips had so much salt sprinkled on them we couldn't eat shake it off. We will eat there again, but avoid the salty items and try other things. The setting is so nice. It would be great to see community music nights there again. read more

Delicious and fresh tacos and burritos, with a fun vibe! THE BEST tacos ive had since Mexico! Awesome patio space for the sunny days! The owner Fernando is so friendly and attentive as well. Run here!! read more

El Coyote Tacos Y Tequila - Fish and shrimp taco - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

El Coyote popped into the old Slow Fox location, who I was sad to see slow fox go but glad the space brought in another business so quickly, because it is a cool spot. I came in for lunch on a nice day, the courtyard is perfect for outdoor eating, but there is additional space indoors. I was greeted right away and told to sit anywhere and brought a menu, which was nice. They were very friendly and welcoming. The menu is white board style which is a cool idea. I ordered and chips and salsa, I adobo pork taco and a fish taco. The chips were thick and crunchy, with big flaky sea salt. They tasted homemade and were really delicious. The. The tacos came, the pork taco was a little light in the fillings for $4 and while the fish tacos had great flavor and came on a nice blue corn tortilla it was not worth $7. I think the food is high quality but the price is still not quite justified. Little Conejo and El Viejon has an excellent fish taco for a dollar or two less and slightly higher quality. Overall, I would come again for the atmosphere and the food is good, but the price is a bit high so it won't be a regular spot. I think if I came back I would get the chips with the gauc, because the chips were the best thing. read more

Cute little Mexican joint is very attractive and inviting to try. I ordered a steak taco and got a mushy shredded beef taco with no flavor. The salsa is a small side of Verde and I asked for red salsa got an orange thick weird sauce. I am a Southern California girl and SW girl who is sad to not go back to a sweet looking spot. Spice it up! Add some variety of salsa and OLE! read more

We sat outside on a Friday night, service was so friendly but moved a little slow (it was a Friday night so totally understandable) we got a coyote marg, caliente marg, and chips with guac and salsa. The guacamole was amazing! I wish the salsa had been a bigger portion because it was so good also. The outdoor patio is going to be great for margs during the summer! read more

We got a carne asada burrito and pork adoba bowl - both were incredibly greasy the burrito was the best between the two, but left our hands covered in grease. the meat was flavorful but there were some tough pieces throughout the bowl is mostly hot rice and black beans that consume all the other flavors, no fresh veggies or anything acidic to cut through it. it felt like there was more pan grease in the bowl than there was meat, so with all of that together I didn't end up eating any of it. Wish I would have tried the tacos instead to give their other ingredients a fair shot. read more

Decided to give this place a try and we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. Took the place of where Slow Fox Chili once was. I ate the vegetarian burrito and my husband had the chicken burrito. We got chips, salsa, and guacamole which all tasted homemade and were yummy. Covered outdoor seating was perfect for this warm evening. Being they've only been open just under two weeks, they seemed to have everything running smoothly. Employees were likely the owners and they were very accommodating and kind. We certainly plan to go back again. read more

The staff is so kind and attentive! The food was delicious (especially the pollo rojo taco and the salsa) and everything we had was incredibly fresh. The margaritas were made in house -- so good! I think our favorite item might have been the chips + salsa. They were super crispy and salty and the salsa had a mild spice to it. There is plenty of seating in the covered patio with picnic tables and uncovered with bistro tables, and then inside they have tables plus bar height seating. We can't wait to go back. read more

El Coyote offers a nice, relaxing location that offers some great Mexican cuisine. The fish tacos come with a large piece of fish well coated in a beer batter crust. It's hard to find a good fish taco that isn't soggy and my wife and I both really enjoyed the fresh flavor. I also got a pork adoba and my wife had the el cochinito taco. Both had great flavor and the fresh onion on mine was a perfect combination. We did not have margaritas, but almost everyone around us were imbibing. Next time! We will be back! read more
