Stopped in for an early dinner on Saturday evening. First time here. Place is very casual, and located in a strip mall. The parking is good. Service was good. We were greeted and invited to sit where we liked. We were 1 of only 2 tables in there, which I didn't really think much about until after our visit. Menus, then drinks came out right away. Our young server was friendly and knowledgeable. The horchata came first and it was the highlight of the meal. Large and deliciously spiced -- poured over ice -- it was very good. I'm only giving 3 stars because the food was just not good. My biggest issue was with the "Fiesta Fajitas" -- it comes with a mix of 5 different proteins (steak, chicken. Shrimp, chorizo, and ribs). It came out with a ton of meat on the plate -- a mountain of it! But it was all extremely overcooked. To the point that all of the meat was leathery and jerky-like. And the shrimp were rubbery. It seemed they'd all been marinated in the same tangy sauce as well. This resulted in a n expensive platter piled high with tough and dry meat that had no distinct flavor. Each of the proteins varies only in texture. So an entree that had potential to impress with "fajitas done 5-ways" ended up being a massive disappointment.

Seems like a pretty chill place.Things I liked: staff was super friendly. Smelled and looked clean. Menu was behind the register with large print making it easy to ready. Food was fresh, all the cheese was melted and very flavorful.Things I'd like to see: organization at the front of the store. Yes, it was clean but it seemed cluttered as if someone started stocking the fridge but got distracted about half way through. Seating, I'd prefer to sit down and wait. I'd really like to be able to eat in there but understand that regulations/licensing may be a factor.I would absolutely recommend.

If you could dine in and place seated 300 there would be waiting outside . Best food any place around . The other Mex places should try to steal the recipes from them . I drive 20 miles to get food there . 30 year customer . None better .

El Coyote Loco is our local go to. They offer tasty offerings for Mexican cuisine enthusiasts. Their chicken enchiladas are a savory masterpiece, boasting tender, well-seasoned chicken enveloped in perfectly textured tortillas, topped with a delectable sauce and melted cheese. Each bite is a burst of flavors that blend harmoniously. The bean tostadas are crisp and topped with flavorful refried beans, lettuce, cheese, and tomato, all creating a satisfying crunch. The combination of these dishes showcases El Coyote Loco's dedication to authentic flavors and culinary excellence. This is a must-visit for Mexican food aficionados. Just wish the hours were expanded a bit, check their hours.
Stopped in for lunch ( carry out only)- I ordered the taco lunch. The tacos were prepared perfectly. Even with a 10 minute drive. They were nice and hot when I got home. They weren’t soggy. Nice crisp corn tortilla beef tacos- these small salsa that came with it was perfect and so fresh and delicious- at first sight. I was very concerned about the refried beans because they were very watery-loose- in fact, I had accidentally tipped the container and the beans went into the rice. Thank goodness they did not go onto the tacos. The refried beans tasted delicious. Plenty of salt added- the rice had no flavor, but I added the leftovers also do it and that helped- the lunch came with a soft drink-Service was very nice and quick. The front area was cluttered and messy- I wasn’t sure if they were redecorating or redoing the entrance area- sbut that had no effect on the taste of my food?

While the food is hit and miss, the price has gone completely off the rails. Anything made with a hard tortilla will end up soft, floppy, and gross by the time you get it out of the steamed Styrofoam container. The burritos taste great but I can go to one of the many sit down restaurants in town and spend less for a bigger meal with an enjoyable atmosphere.I just paid $16.50 for a small "wet" burrito a small portion of beans and some rice that left me hungry. A Grande Burrito just down the road costs $14 plus tax and I can't finish it.

The brothers at El Coyote Loko has been serving terrific, authentic Mexican food for years - and they still do it today. Don't want to trek to downtown SW Detroit? Swing over to Livonia for all that taste and delicioso food right here in the burbs! ⭐⭐⭐?
