El Coyote Club & Las Lupitas — Restaurant in Hollywood

I came in here randomly with a craving for some good authentic Mexican food after reading some of the other reviews. As I walked in the place was dimly lit, and fairly empty aside from a few people sitting at the bar laughing over a few beers and tacos with the bar keep. I had almost thought they were not open to the public at the moment. Upon approaching the bar, I asked for a food menu, and was quickly prompted that they had just reopen, and they did not have a full menu yet. I said that's fine, and asked what was available. They didn't have much. Tacos, quesadillas, the simple things. I quickly went with tacos, steak to be specific. I asked for eight of them, to go and sat at the bar and waited,. I took a peek at the lady next to me who was also having some tacos. I could tell from a few barstools down that these were going to be some pretty great tacos, real tacos. Not Tex-Mex. Not whatever you call that stuff at Chipotle. For what only felt like ten or 15 minutes the tacos were brought out, ready to go. The man who cooked them met me with a smile. He let me know that there was hot sauce, and green chili sauce inside each of the containers with the tacos. I promptly handed him a credit card, which was handed to the lady running the bar, who immediately came back ran it in front of me with a portable point of sale system. Upon completing my payment she gave a great smile, and wished me a good evening. I told her thank you, and I was on my way. On the way out I thought "This is what I want in a Mexican restaurant. Friendly service at a tiny hole in the wall. The food is always better, and it's always cooked with love and passion." After I put the tacos in my vehicle and began driving away I was hit with a beautiful aroma of what can only be described as GOOD FOOD. The short one mile drive home had me ready to attempt eating a taco at the red light on 56th & Washington. I ate the tacos immediately when I got home, and all I could think was that I'll need to go back for more tacos in a couple of days because these were the best tacos I have had in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. They were honestly the best tacos I have had since I was in San Diego, almost four years ago. After typing up what can only be described as an essay of a review I am left wishing I had taken a photo to post. I will definitely be going back, even if it's just for the tacos. I would love to see this place fully reopen with a full menu. Seeing the chile rellenos that somebody else had posted in another review I am dying to see how amazing the rest of the food is that they could be making. If you care about local small business, go see this place. Get some tacos, quesadillas, whatever it is they have. A place this good needs...

Took my son here for a fish quesadilla i wanted mole but it was late on a sunday i understand them not having it, the woman cooking and seemed to be the manager or owner that night was very warm and welcoming, the servers at the bar spoke good English. The hostesss or younger girl smiled but she seemed a little nervous, idk if they get many black customers or non mexicanos, but the manager was very welcoming. This was the Hole in the wall, off the beaten path -place i searched for when seeking great food, the flavor was delicious. There is a place around the corner i wont go to anymore , this place had superior flavor and service without looking as nice which i didnt care about. The bathroom was clean, they were out of paper towels it was closing time but they had soap and the bathroom was clean, that matters alot to me. I will be back to get my mole. I highly recommend this place. And tip the...
