   The food exceeded my expectations. Possibly the best queso I’ve ever had. My wife and kids loved their food too. The staff was courteous, and prompt. The decorations are tasteful and well done. Inside is almost entirely built around a large bar, so it’s a bit loud and with televisions, but this was fine for us. I’ll be back!

   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I took my wife to Blind Coyote Cantina for Valentine’s Day, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious—I had the steak taco and carnitas enchiladas, both of which were flavorful and well-prepared. The Back in the Saddle cocktail was a perfect complement to the meal, well-balanced and smooth finish. The service was warm and attentive without being intrusive, making the evening even more enjoyable. The ambience was inviting, with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that made it a great place for a special occasion. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Mexican food in an elevated setting.

   This was our second visit. We made a reservation for Friday since there was a long wait on Thursday without reservation. We were pretty excited since we enjoyed our first visit. Today, my husband and I got the nachos (no protein) and salad (ranchero salad with chicken on the side). The first time, they brought the chicken on top, but I asked for it it to be on the side since my husband is vegetarian and we planned to share. The service was pretty good, they remedied the problem quickly and did not charge for the chicken. I was a little disappointed with the salad, however. The chicken was pretty plain/overcooked, the salad was plated nicely but barely had any dressing and tasted very plain. I asked for more dressing which helped, but it was super thick, like a mayo or dip. (Def would recommend a more flavorful dressing, such as a vinaigrette or creamy cilantro/lime). I currently have gestational diabetes, so the salad was one of the healthiest things I could order, but felt it was pretty bland and uninteresting. I have definitely had better at other Mexican restaurants. The nachos were pretty tasty and we enjoyed them. We appreciate the service, but in the future, I wouldn’t order the salad.

   Food was not very good. Food was cold and beans left an after taste in our months. Margaritas were just okay.

   First time, won't be the last! Service was excellent and the food was top notch. Tony's Tacos were amazing as were the chicken taquitos and the carnival enchilada. We were a family group of 5 adults, and we all enjoyed our meals very much!

    It was our first time, and we enjoyed our experience. We tried the nachos, which were great, loaded with cheese and toppings, as well as a 3-item combo (2 cheese enchiladas and 1 potato taco). The enchiladas and rice were great; the potato filling in the taco and the beans were slightly under seasoned. Service was prompt and attentive (we went on a Saturday, at 5:30). Ambience is nice and we would return again.
