6610 Old Madison Pike #102, Huntsville, AL 35806, United States
Mexican fare, including a lunch buffet, offered in a simple eatery with painted wood furniture.
Visited for lunch and the food and service were equally dreadful. Our recommendation can best be summed up in one word….DON’T!!
This place is a disgrace. I went to this restaurant and I was singled out and mistreated and ignored by the wait staff. I had to go up front to ask for them to get my drink. I then sat down after getting my food at the bar. The wait staff never came by to offer to refill my drink at all. They just looked over at me and walked away. As a person who is disabled, I felt extremely upset and angry with this experience. Please anyone, if you go to this restaurant and you have a disability, please reconsider. This was unacceptable and I will not be going back.
My 1st time here & the service was great! The team was very helpful & attentive. The food was hot & prepared fresh. I felt the food was okay. I've had better. I'd give it a try again & try something different.
Ok for the price, the tamarind agua fresca was good. Salsa very mild, enchilada ground beef was not very tasty. Friends I was with liked their quesadilla and fajitas though.
Never had a chance to try Hawaiian Chicken Quesadillas…. Turned out to be delicious. Very friendly team, they even extended for us buffet. Highly recommended
My Order: Beef and Cheese Nachos (only jalapeños, chopped red onions). Extra hot salsa on the side. Soft Taco (only beef and light cheese). Visting the Research Park area on a business holiday. This restaurant was recommended by a local resident. The customer service experience was pleasant. I had a customized order, and the staff handled it well. The food was decent enough. The hot salsa paired with the tortilla chips was delicious. On the other hand, my soft taco was too soggy.
My husband didn’t like his food as much as our local restaurants where we live in Arkansas. Personally I loved their shredded chicken enchiladas just as much if not more than the ones back home. The rice was very good, but the refried beans were not good. The service was good. Prices were much higher than what I’m used to especially for the portions given. I didn’t order one, but their margaritas were almost double the price of what I typically see. The inside was fun and clean, but the bathroom was dirty. The tv was really loud. I probably would try a different place in town if I ever came back, but it’s worth a shot if you need somewhere to eat and you’re near.
Buffet Mexican food was real good you will get a full belly and tasty cheese dip
Food was plentiful and fresh
I went back to el coyote after 4 years of not being close to it. And it hasn t changed. The staff is still friendly and the food is still good
One of the best Mexican buffets Ive had.
Had the buffet. It was excellent. Great selection; they kept it fresh. Churros were so good.
Quick service. Foods always fresh and tasty prices are good too. One of my favorite places to eat in Huntsville
Our lunch meal was delicious!
Everything was OK. The gentleman serving us did not seem to be in a good mood.
Its not ALL THAT
Good food
Chill outdoor area and super good food
While the lunch buffet seemed like a good deal, we went w the menu. Very good and I will be back next time Im in the area. Good lunch nachos!!
Ate there last week for lunch after a meeting at MSFC. Kind of a hole in the wall joint in a small strip mall. Had the lunch buffet. Got some fresh taquitos being brought out to the buffet bar. There was a decent choice of items on the buffet. I did wish they had guacamole on the bar, but there was none. It also would have been nice if they brought chips and salsa to the table, but I guess when you get the buffet, you have to get them yourself. The food was good and it was all replenished adequately and not dried out. I would go back again.
Flew in from the SW looking for some authentic Mexican food. Just wow!!! Excellent authentic food and service! Will be coming back regularly!
I got a steak chimichanga. The steak was not seasoned at all. My husband said his pollo pastor (I believe that s what he had) was alright. Not the best, definitely not the worst. Would not be back.
Buffet is great for the work crew.
The best in food and service
Always a full buffet with open seats and friendly staff!
Grear lunch buffet.
Awesome underrated restaurant
Good food and good service
Nice restaurant and good food
Great customer service and great food!
The food was great. The service provided by one of one servers was pretty good even though he was doing the whole place alone. He was moving around quickly and keeping up.
Great
Best Mexican I have ever had!! Tacos Mexicanos was amazing
This was very good service and very good food.
Everything excellent !!!
My sister and I are gluten free. We ate here with no issues. We had nachos, rice and beans and the chorizo cheese dip, everything was delicious. The service was amazing, attentive without being a bother. Rice and beans tasted just like my grandmas, so good. Chicken was moist and flavorful. We will be back!
Service was quick. Food was good. Plenty of parking. The mango margarita was sooo good. We got a medium and it was plenty for two people.
Best (only?) Mexican buffet in town.
Good mexican food, the prices are fair.
Did lunch with the team and the buffet had plenty of good choices.
Good drinks, good food, & chill atmosphere. Wendy is my favorite! ...& Lorenzo too lol
Great place for a Mexican buffet. They were kind and very accommodating for our large crowd. The food was great at a good price. I would recommend anyone trying them out
Buffet is out of this world and doesnt cost an arm or a leg.
Good value and variety with the lunch buffet. Little churros are too good, tough to have just one.
The best Mexican restaurant in Huntsville. The fajitas are on point.
Solid.
Food was great. Waiter was really nice and attentive. Tea was excellent!
Fantastic food, amazing service, and wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend.
Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Everyone at my table was in agreeance that this is the best Mexican food we have ever had, and that the cheese dip is to die for! If I m ever in the area again, I will be returning!!
Best mexican food in town at a good price. Eat lunch here weekly.
My go-to place every time. Nice staff, clean place, and great food and drinks! Their lunch buffet has premium items that no other place includes in theirs. Always fresh, always good.
cheap and delicious
Great place to grab fast lunch on a workday. In and out fast with good selection of mex food on buffet. Try it youll like it !!
The food was great a good place to go
We had lunch today, such a great meal. Authentic, spicy with a little kick. We travel full time including New Mexico, Colorado Texas for Mexican food. So good to find really tasty Mexican food in Huntsville Alabama.
Absolutely love this restaurant!! They serve my favorite thing in Huntsville (ceviche) and are always courteous and service is great. Would highly recommend!
I love this place. The employees are very polite and they always know what I want to drink and everything. They take their time to know their customers. Great food and good prices.
The food was very good. The service however was rushed. I hadnt even sat down before they wanted my drink order and within 30 seconds of handing me a menu, I was asked not once, but twice if I was ready to order by two different waiters. When I needed extra tortillas, it took about five minutes to get them, and when I paid, I felt like I was somehow not a valued customer because I am not a regular (traveling on business). I dont think I will return even though the food was good as I didnt feel appreciated and hate being rushed when dining out.
Chepes y Mayoli and Soledaf awesome waiters and great service!Great restaurant!
Cinco de mayo was great fun. Good was good.
The buffet was amazing!
Love the buffet and so does EVERYONE else!
Buffet was great to be buffet food , the only problem is going back to work after a buffet
Waitress was very rude and disrespectful. Never checked on me not once but checked on all the other Mexicans several times.
We visited for a graduation celebration. The staff was great keeping everything together during our meal as folks moved around d talking and catching up. The food was great and timely.
Amazing
Great buffet at lunchtime.
Delicious food, great atmosphere & great service.
Parking is a bit rough during the lunch rush, but the buffet is well worth it.
Quick lunch . Buffet or menu
Very good fajitas and margarita.
Super attentive with the starters
** ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND TASTY! ** HIT THE SPOT I was down in Huntsville Alabama picking my daughter up from Space Camp and she wanted Mexican as we were driving back to Nashville. It has been a long time since I have had Tex Mex (Ive been unable anything decent to find it in New Jersey where I currently am transplanted.) I am so glad we did! Memories of TexMex from when I was younger. Really enjoyed this place (and so did my daughter.) She thought it was the best Mexican shes ever had (and likely true since shes grown up in New Jersey.) ** WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? ** Yes. Yes. Yes. Shell be attending space camp for a couple of years at least and I think this place will become a tradition when picking her up.
Great place to eat and drink margaritas Simply the best in Alabama Food
Just went in for a margarita for happy hour. It was very slow but the margarita was tasty. Service started out Shakey but the lady that ended up assisting me was very nice.
Great lunch time eats. Love the buffet!
No frills Mexican place with consistently good food and service. We keep coming back!
Good for a low key lunch, yummy food, reasonable service. Shrimp Enchiladas
Food was good and came out hot . The wait staff was very attentive. We found out about Monday trivia night, wish we could have stayed to play! Hopefully it continues or I can find more info about it. Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu
The water is all thin with no taste and the food is tasteless, terrible service.
Lunch buffet is a MUST! Some of the best food Ive had!
Absolutely amazing food and drinks. The chimichanga was the best that I have ever had.
First time eating here and it was great. The music greeted my BF so good, staff and place was very nice. Definitely gonna eat here again. Parking: Open and not far from the door Kid-friendliness: Great for kids to sit with family
I always go for the chicken nachos
Best sit-down Mexican restaurant in town. Awesome people, atmosphere, and the flavors are so good
Buffet was excellent 10 years ago and still is.
Delicious authentic Mexican food! Vegetarian options: I enjoyed a delicious vegetarian taco salad. Parking: Open parking lot. Kid-friendliness: A small but quaint place for kids to eat. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.
Lunch buffet is great!!
Great food, good service
Good food
Nice place...!! Excellent food and above all the attention...!!
I had not eaten here in years (since retiring in 2011) and I was substituting at Columbia High school, so I had to try it again. The service was excellent, and the food was great! I had a senior moment and left my phone on the table, but the waitress came chasing after me and gave it back. I am kicking myself for not thinking to give her something extra, so Ill have to stop by again and do that. But that will give me an excuse to eat there again! Parking: handicapped spot near the front entry
The food was ok. Our carnitas were very dry, like hard to eat. The fajitas were also very overcooked and seasoned really strange. We waited for awhile for a box and they also sat us at a table of 4 when there was six of us. We was hard to eat with everyone on top of each other.
Great staff, good food, and fast service.
Very excellent restaurant experience! My coworkers and I periodically come here for the lunch buffet and the food is always great!
My wife and I had Steak chimichangas with rice, beans, sour rest and Guacamole on the side. Food was pretty good, Guacamole was a bit tart like it was prepackaged and had Lime added to it. We went between 6pm and 645pm and customers where not bad. Servers were not bad, pretty attentive and food came out pretty quick. Definitely will go back to eat here.
Food is great margaritas are too expensive
I m always happy when I come here during lunch. Buffet is always stocked. Great food and people.
Good service. Food was good for buffet style.
The food is good but they didnt keep up with replenishing the buffet.
Very good food and service but they should expand the Friday buffet
OMG ITS SO GOOD! My new favorite place!!
Great lil Mexican restaurant. Flavorful food and cheese dip had a lil spice and not bland.
Came in this evening (4/25/2022). This is the first time we have used this location because we usually go to the Gurley location. Anyways, food was great, our waitress was a sweetheart and it was a great atmosphere. Chris was doing trivia which is cool because ive never been in a restaurant and played a game, but it was really fun and my little team won a gift certificate. The food was great as usual. We enjoyed ourselves!
Always delicious and always friendly. One feels like family when visiting El Coyote! Try one of their frozen margaritas! I suggest the 16 oz strawberry mango. Enough to share and oh so tasty!
Terrific
First time here. Really enjoyed the food, but it was a bit loud. Im chalking that up to the party next to us and expect without that...it would have been just fine. Id return in the future.
BF says they have best Huevos Rancheros in town!!! Clean, masked staff super friendly vans efficient. Well be back!
Best salsa and margaritas in town! Friendly staff :)
Excellent service, and my favorite fish plate.
Freshly cooked buffet as well as menu exquisite dining
Food and drinks are great, but the service is extremely slow. Even when it s slow
When you first pull up you really debating if this where you want to eat and the answer is yes. The staff was friendly. Food was fresh and hot might I add well seasoned. The margarita was good. Place including the bathroom was clean. I did not have one complaint. This is a must eat when you come this area.
Handicapped parking out front. Only 2 ramps up for entire building structure. My wheelchair can access patio (my favorite). Went on Sunday at 11:00 for all you can eat brunch.....yummy....photo shows eggs, toast sticks, strawberry chunks, pound cake, and what I LOVE....bacon. The 4 to 6 of us go once a month at least. This is serve yourself.
Quick, easy and close to work. I enjoy the buffet...good stuff!
I love the staff
Average food good price
Excellent food, wait staff was great. Prices are very reasonable. Excellent atmosphere. Highly recommended if youre in the neighborhood.
Friendly staff. They have a lunch buffet, I didn t try it. I had the chicken fajitas, which were delicious! Also had the texas margarita and was also good. Would definitely recommend.
Cheap cheese wasnt very good
Friendly Staff and the food was great, will visit again when I revisit Huntsville, AL. Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Family dining
Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere
Best hot wings love their buffet! Great staff
The food was tasty. Its a tad more expensive than some of the other Mexican restaurants we patron. Our server was decently attentive and prompt. There was, however, too much gnat and fly activity ... Overall, it was a good (1st) experience and we will PROBABLY visit again. *They have a military discount.*
Fast service, my glass was never empty. Love that they have a buffet. Good for those short lunch days for work. Like the decor as well. Its not like some resturants where you still have to wait for refill an time comes when your done with your meal. That is not the problem here at Coyotes. Plus good food to boot.
Food was delicious, amazing service, friendly, clean, will definitely return when back in town.
Service was not up to expectation
Great food! The restaurant is very clean and well decorated. Mayoli was a great waitress.
Really good food fast and good service
Excellent authentic Mexican food! Shout out to the whole family! Keep it up, I loved it!!
The buffet is more or less 10 I give it 7
Loved the food and Edgar playing music and singing. Wonderful experience
Going out for lunch and receive overheated left over food is not at all a pleasant taste. Lettuce, sour cream, guac, and pico de gallo look old and it smelled wrong. In addition, the wait time to receive our meal was longer than usual. The only good of this place were the chips and salsa. Hope dont have to go to hospital for food poison.
We eat at El Coyote 2 all the time. Great food, great staff.
Average quality food; above average service.
Very good. Now has live music on Fridays..place was packed.
Food was awesome and reasonably priced
The food was fresh and authentic. Lunch buffet is reasonably priced. I will be back
Slow service Music way too loud Kids running around undisciplined tea glasses empty chips and salsa empty etc
Enjoyed the variety on the buffet and the price. The staff is friendly. The only problem I had was that the food cooled quickly after getting to my table.
This place was great. Service was quick and excellent. We split fajitas and they were delicious. Great margaritas, cant wait to go back.
We felt the price was to high for what was on the buffet. The buffet was not stocked up. They brought out a chicken with cheese on it and it was very dry and over cooked. We go to the Gurley location and it has always been good, this was our 1st time at this location.
Very rich
Best Sunday brunch around.
Happy hour tacos and margs are one of the better deals in town. And Edgar is great on Tuesdays!
We went with some friends after church on Sunday and the buffet was really good!
Enjoyed everything I had.
Great food and staff! I take my Mom to Dinner and play Bingo here on Thursday nights!!
Went there for dinner with my partner and her daughter the food was good and it came out quickly. The staff was nice for the most part though our server seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood.
The shredded beef chimichanga was very good and the order was very quick. Mixed their regular salsa with their spicy salsa to get something better with chips.
Love the buffet. Great choices and plenty of queso. Wish there were guacamole on the buffet. Excellent and attentive service. We will return.
Great place to eat! Food was really good and the place was nice and clean...5 stars from Rydal Georgia Parking: Nice and clean
Very Friendly, clean and the food is very good.
I was very happy with the quality, quantity and service. I got the Hawaiian chicken quesadilla and my girlfriend got the steak fajita. Both were excellent. The girlfriend said that she loved the salsa flavor too. Staff was friendly and the food came out crazy fast and hot. No complaints at all. A+
Great lunch buffet!
