If you choose to go, which why wouldn't you, ask for Julie as your server! She's amazing. The food top notch, delicious! Margaritas..... Well 2 made my husband drive home.
Great dinner. Julie made sure our 6 year old was happy and enjoyed her experience. We enjoyed the food and of course the margaritas. Will absolutely be back again soon.
Recently moved to the state stopped in here absolutely enjoyed everything The quality was exceptional the pricing was good and the atmosphere was pleasant and enjoyable. All staff members were professional prompt and well dressed If you're new to the area I would highly recommend
We ate at Coyote Blue, just south of Middletown, right off of I91, again last night. We often stop there on our way back from the beach, heading back to Farmington. First, let's talk about the best Magaritas (anywhere, particularly the "Ultimate"). Very strong, I mean very, and made with real fruit juice. So good. We also had a delicious bowl of chili (extremely flavorful, topped with melted cheese, and a side of cornbread.. YUM), and we also had chicken enchiladas with green sauce and a side oder of the spicy red sauce. Perfect tender pulled chicken. Nice spicy sauces. Delicious. They also serve you a nice basket of fresh salsa and chips right away when you arrive. Lastly we had the lime cheesecake. Unusually excellent!! We sat at the bar and was served by the terrific bartender Summer. Friendly people, delicious food. Reasonably priced. Go there soon. You won't be disappointed.
I love the Carne Asada here! So tender with the right amount of heat. The staff is super friendly, attentive but not intrusive, and accommodating. For a casual and fun dinner you can't beat Coyote Blue!
Margs are the best, food is delicious with rotating specials making it exciting to check out every week. Support this place, the staff is always friendly including the owner! Good kid options as well! We moved to the area 2 years ago and it has become our go to place to go for dinner and late night snacks and margs! They deserve 5 stars and more!
Been going to this little restaurant for 30 years. Best Tostados ever! Have had Tostados in Mexico, Arizona, Many Mexican restaurants in CT; Hands Down, Best ever! Entire menu is superb, service impeccable, everyone very friendly, and the atmosphere is GREAT! I'm not a Margaritas fan but have friends and family members who are and LOVE the Margaritas. Can't wait to return.
Delicious food at generous portions. The full bar up front has six beers on tap, including imports and microbrews. Narrow dimensions, but nicely decorated. Booths comfortably seat four commensals. Parking outside for roughly fifteen cars. Wi-fi by Cox, so no luck if you have no account with that provider. On January 26th, 2021 the Middlesex County Libertarian Party convened at this location.
Suprised to see this restaurant so quiet on a Sunday night at dinner. They were running a lobster fest and I ordered the Lobster Cobb salad. The salad was large but the lobster was drenched in mayonnaise. In my experience the lobster came in fresh pieces of meat and not a salad in itself.
This place his a great atmosphere and delicious chips and salsa to start you off. The chicken tacos, drinks and apps (I ordered the Nachos Maximos) are delicious. The taco beef (different than just beef) meat has a weird consistency, so I'd avoid ordering that. The guac is just ehh. Lacked any distinct flavor or spice. Was left really wanting more, so I'm sad the guac didn't deliver. The Coyote Combo is good and had a nice variety of flavors. Generous portions so expect to take some home, especially if you order an appetizer. Waiter was really nice and made my experience better. The atmosphere is nice and fits the vibe perfectly. Will definitely frequent this place more often to see what else it can offer
Hadn't had take out in a while. Got several dishes. All not too tasty and poorly prepared. Gone down hill alot..
The food was okay, most people in our party enjoyed the food. It took a long while to get, but the service was nice. Portions are very large and generallytoo much of a portion.. doggy bags abound! The pricing was fair for the large volume of food provided. It's a bit dark but if you want extra atmosphere then it's great! Not good for my eyes trying to read the menu. The Key Lime Cheesecake made by the prepcook is an excellent example of its type! The base crust is the thickest crust I've ever seen but it was not objectionable, I really enjoyed it!
It’s all about the margaritas, not the menu! The guacamole was beyond disgusting, spoiled and fermented! Ordered guacamole with chips & told the server but she obviously didn’t tell the kitchen. Our entrees came with the same spoiled guacamole and she gave us a “dumping bowl” to scrape it off. I’ll never go back. Just plain gross.
Location is very convenient and the outside terrace overlooking the creek below is very inviting. Service was great, very friendly, knowledgeable and quick. Excellent. Food is mixed with our own reviews, had 4 different ones and the best one was the burrito 3 ways. The rest was just ok. Might be Back.
Cool atmosphere, but could use some maintenance. Decent drinks, standard table service. Food... leaves much to be desired. Not authentic at all, tacos had soft store-bought tortilla wraps, barely cooked onions, flavorless pastor pork, Costco style shredded cheese and lettuce (what?!?!) prices seemed good until we saw the food. Shrimp special was ok but should've had more to the plate.
This place has gone down hill. Walked in at 6 got seated at 6:30. Waited 40 minutes for food. Steak Quesadilla was so salty I couldn’t eat it. Two tacos were gross too. The ground beef is like minced meat. The server never came around after our food was delivered to the table. Total waste of money will never return!! If I could rate zero stars I would.
Went to dinner with friends last night. Dinner was ok, came out warm and not hot. Very bland and not much taste at all. The waitress was rude by telling us the tip was too small. We will never go back.
