" Stumbled upon this fantastic taco truck while driving through New Orleans. The authentic tacos here are a true delight! Not only are the flavors vibrant but the freshness of each ingredient makes a noticeable difference. I had the chicken and pork tacos, and both were cooked to perfection. I was particularly impressed with the homemade salsas—they really elevate the meal! Although the prices are reasonable, the portions are generous for what you get. The vibe is casual and unpretentious, perfect for a quick bite. A great find in the area that I absolutely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria La Coyota was a delightful find! The tacos really stand out for their authenticity, which is hard to find amongst the tourist spots. I had the alambres and was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and flavor. The only downside was the limited outdoor seating, as the truck is rather popular. Still, I rated it a solid five for the food! It’s well worth a visit if you appreciate real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria La Coyota is worth the trip! I found out about this truck through word of mouth and decided to try it out. I had the buttered tortillas with their mesquite grilled beef, and it was absolute perfection! The recipe is traditional, and you can taste the care taken in preparing each meal. The flavors are bold and vibrant, making it a truly authentic experience. The only drawback? They were short-staffed when I visited. However, the food made the wait worth it. Highly recommend if you are a taco lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s something special about Taqueria La Coyota. The service is always friendly, which makes every visit enjoyable. I've had the chance to try various items on their menu, from tacos to burritos, and each one has been better than the last. The al pastor tacos are particularly noteworthy; they are so flavorful! I recommend grabbing a torta as well—it’s hearty and absolutely delicious! You can really taste the authenticity in each bite. A great place for a casual meal that feels like home. Will definitely keep coming back for my fix of Mexican comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love hitting up Taqueria La Coyota whenever I’m in New Orleans! The beef tacos are simply the best—juicy with a perfect amount of seasoning. It’s also nice to see them using fresh ingredients, which you can really taste. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. I usually do takeout due to the limited seating, but they make it easy to grab and go. The staff is okay, nothing too special, but the food is what keeps me coming back! " (*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*)
