What Antonina Montanari doesn't like about El Coyote Mexican:
Steaks were good. Other food was just ok. Service, the waitress was struggling. She handed out our food wrong. Said here’s your sirloin to two of us when it was a filet. For the price we would have better food and service at somewhere like Firebirds and could’ve had our kids with us. View all feedback. What Jennifer Roberts likes about El Coyote Mexican:
I've always loved their Mexican cuisine of course and their margaritas, pork chops and ribs, but last night tried their sirloin. It was cooked to perfection and the service was wonderful from the hostess to the young man wiping down our table in the bar area to our waiter at dinner. Could not have asked for a better experience. View all feedback.

Wife and I ordered same steak, same way. Hers was cooked perfectly and mine was way overdone. Hugely disappointing.
