    I can't believe anybody could give this place anything less than a 4 star review. This place IS a High Five. Only have been here here twice! In the last week!
    The first time on high commendations from a client who works for the city and knows her taco trucks because she' travels all over Portland metropolitan area and being lovely Latina, I took her advice.
    The first visit was 2 large fish tacos $4.50+50cents for using my card. Best 5 bucks I ever spent. The second visit I drove 15 minute from work to get more tacos...This time 2 large fish and 1 carnitas.
    Santa Cruz now has the second best carnitas in Portland. And El Leon is 3rd.
    I'd be there right now but it's Sunday and I appreciate places taking Sunday off the be with family and to recuperate. But tomorrow I'm making the 15 minute dash to get more tacos on my lunch hour.
    3 tacos, one of each. After reading other reviews, I've got to a chicken one.

    Great Job El Coyote!

    Enjoy fellow Yelpers!

    This place is a gem! Not only is the food so tasty and affordable, their employees are sweet as well. Call in an order and your food is always ready in 10 minutes. My personal favorite dish is their Al Pastor tacos, they got little bits of pineapple in them for a fruity splash of flavor! I'm also a fan or their steak taco salad, and steak chimichanga. They have good portions for the price, and every component of your meal is well seasoned - beans, rice, meat, salsa, all so delicious! Beware their steak burrito though, while delicious, it can be a little salty so order a drink. Whenever I crave Mexican food (which is all the time), it's always gonna be El Coyote.

    Probably the best taco shop in NoPo, possibly Portland itself. All I come here for are the tacos, and every time has been damn good. Coming from LA, it was a bit hard trying to find a solid spot but this is it. This is the place, go here and buy food, do it.

    The Al Pastor and Chicken tacos are the best I've had in Portland and very affordable.  I typically don't like chicken tacos, however, El Cayote boils the chicken so it's nice and juicy. If you try the chicken tacos I'd recommend getting the green sauce as it compliments it very well.

    Best Mexican food in north Portland hands down I'm so glad I found this place it's a jewel located right next to the overrated rose city Mexican food place. This place is blowing them out the water real quality food fresh and you can just taste the love best fish taco I ever had.
