tried the Laffy location several years ago....but took the family of 5 tonight. Dinner didnt start off very well, after seating...and waiting about 15 minutes before someone spoke to us.....I noticed the hostess walk back by our table...I caught her eye and she came by to tell me she was sorry...the waiter that had our section was not there yet (615pm) and she forgot to get a waiter to pick up our table. Hello.


Drinks:

Strawberry Marg, Mango Marg, TopShelf Frozen Marg, BL, ML, Glass of Cab with my dinner. The Mango Marg was awesome...wife had it...I tried. Winner.


Appetizer:

Cerviche - Was good, rather small portion. I didnt pay attention when reading description - said "Citrus." I am a lime freak and realize Cerviche is made with citrus, but this was created with more Orange than my liking. No big deal. Still tastey. (Will try the sampler with the pork tamale next)


Entrees:

Kobe Beef Fajitas - 2 ladies split this entree. They liked it alot.....I tried the beef alone, was seasoned very well and very tender. Cooked Med Rare-Med. Sufficient.

Coyote Crawfish Quesidillas - The gentleman that ordered this entree eats them all the time....and thought these were the best he had ever eaten. I tried a bite, they were very creamy with cheese sauce....crawfish were not chewey. I would suggest to a quesi eater.

Bone-In Ribeye - ordered rare.....this was pretty good to be in a mexican restrnt. Was accompanied by a very small amount of drizzled sauce and some very good sauteed veggies (Medley of zucchini, asparagus, squash). I tried a bite. Was good. If someone at my table the next time we go has his heart set on a steak, I would suggest. I told him about Afreaux's comments on the seafood stuffed filet, but he doesnt like stuffing........

Osso Bucco - My entree. This was suggested by our server. I was torn between getting a traditional mexican dish (enchilada, tamale, burrito, etc)...but the carne asada and osso bucco caught my eye. Asked the waitress...she said no brainer, the sauce on the osso bucco was phenominal. This was served with sauteed green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. The mushroom demiglaze that topped the perfectly seasoned pork shank was great. I will definately order again.

All in all...I tried everyones entrees....as they did mine. We all really enjoyed dinner. We will definately go back. The service from the waitress, once she finally arrived, was solid. The food made up for anything we questioned early.


Good addition to the BR restrnt scene.

I think you meant crawfish enchiladas, not quesadillas....and they are my favorite!

We tried this Coyote Blues for the first time a few weeks ago. I thought the Lousiana-Mexican fusion dishes were very good, I was particularly impressed with the nuevo crab enchiladas. If I'm looking for typical chips and salsa, tacos, and quesadillas, I'd go to the local taqueria, but Coyote Blues is great for a different spin on Mexican.

I haven't been to Coyote Blues and my best friend works there, haha. I've looked at the menu online many times, and I just don't think it's the type of Mexican food I would like. While I'm sure the food is great, and likely better quality, it's just not what I like in a Mexican Restaurant.

For me, the dirtier the better (The food, not the building). There's nothing I love more than a big plate of sloppy mexican food. When I crave Mexican, that's what I want. Chimichangas and fajitas with sour cream, pico, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, queso cheese.. the works.

Coyote Blues just wouldn't hit that spot for me.

I am having a big problem with all these new "fresh" places. I was forced to go to Salsaritas the other day and I was so upset because it's another Qdoba ripoff with no greasy tex-mex food.
