" I was super excited to visit Taqueria La Coyota after hearing everyone rave about it. I got the steak burrito and it was enormous! The steak was juicy and full of flavor. The cheese was melted perfectly into the burrito, and the portion size is beyond generous for the price you pay. The only downside? They were cash-only when I visited, which caught me off guard. The staff was busy, but friendly enough. I'd recommend getting there early to avoid a long wait. Overall, this is a great spot for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food in NOLA! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria La Coyota serves some of the best tacos I've ever had! I truly appreciate the authentic Mexican touch in every dish. I tried their carne asada and it was cooked just right with beautiful seasoning. The staff were friendly although a bit distracted since they were busy with orders. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for delicious authentic tacos at a good price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Taqueria La Coyota was such a treat! The tacos were not only beautifully presented but also packed with flavors. Each bite was a delicious reminder of my time in Mexico. Although the service may have room for improvement, the quality of the food is exceptional. With generous portions and competitive pricing, it's a taco lover's paradise. I will definitely be back and may bring friends along next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Taqueria La Coyota are out of this world! I visited with friends last month, and we sampled various tacos. Each one was better than the last. My personal favorite was the al pastor, which had that perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Pricing is incredibly fair for the quality. We ordered a lot and felt like we received a generous amount of food for our money. If you're in the mood for authentic street tacos, this is the place to go. Just be prepared for a small wait during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Taqueria La Coyota, I'm reminded why this is my favorite taco truck in New Orleans. The tacos are packed to the brim with perfectly seasoned meat, and the freshness of the ingredients is always evident. The last time I visited, I tried their chicken tacos and the flavor was out of this world. It's the best street taco experience I've had since my last trip to Mexico! The service is generally quick, and the people behind the counter are always friendly. Don't skip on the hot salsa—it takes the tacos to a whole new level! In a city full of dining choices, this place remains a must-visit. Highly recommend the beef and lengua tacos as well! You won't regret it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria La Coyota has become my go-to taco spot! I love the authenticity of their food, especially the chicken and beef tacos. Each taco is a generous size, and the flavors are absolutely fantastic. I also appreciate the variety of affordable drinks they offer. On a recent visit, I ordered a few different types to share with friends, and everyone loved them. The only issue was that they were out of a few different meats, which was a little disappointing. Still, I highly recommend this food truck for anyone craving real Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in New Orleans and looking for the best authentic tacos, look no further than Taqueria La Coyota. The staff was friendly, and the service was relatively quick, especially given how busy they were. The tacos were delicious, filled with juicy meats and fresh veggies. I particularly enjoyed the barbacoa and al pastor tacos. While the food is excellent, the size of the dining area is limited, so expect to take your food to go. Definitely a local favorite that I will surely come back to on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
