Taqueria Coyutla — Restaurant in Laredo

This review is for Pollos Asados Coyutla and not Taqueria Coyutla. I will be pointing out my view from my one visit yesterday, Monday, 23 September, 24.

I had seen plenty of very enticing advertisements on TV, billboards, and radio. My wife and I had been looking forward to tasting the pollo asado, as advertised. Upon arrival, we thought it was closed because there wasn't a single car in the parking lot. In itself, that's a huge clue, but we were determined to give it a shot. We saw a ten piece special on the wall and immediately locked in on that with a two litter of Mansanita Sol Apple flavored soda. We were the only patrons for the duration of our visit. The waitress offered two bits of information. She said that that location was mostly a to go business, thus no patrons besides us. The other bit of information was that the chicken was delicious. Our food arrived quickly. Ten pieces leg and thiegh only of slightly warm and dry chicken, with very light condiment. It appeared that the chicken was cooked several hours prior to our arrival and left in a warmer til we fell victim. The ten pieces of chicken were accompanied by one sample serving of Mexican beans, a single plate of rice, and five small corn tortillas. I asked the waitress to confirm the number of tortillas, and she confirmed, "Only five." The salsa was a tiny amount of very watered down, blended, fresh tomato. Now I'll describe the esthetics. Pieces of the wall were missing. The furniture was from the seventies, maybe eighties, and quite run down. The straw that broke the camels back was that the waitress never offered to bring more tortillas, sold or free. I was pretty clear that I needed more than five tortillas for ten pieces of chicken. It was easily one of my biggest disappointments in dining....

OMG!!!! MOVE OVER DANNY'S RESTAURANT AND LA CARRETA....

Met up with friends here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. This restaurant was excellent. Food delicious, and service top notch!!!

Went back same evening for dinner. They had a two man band playing music. Not my preference for dinner/drinks when you want a more relaxed atmosphere. Music was too loud, and their only beer choices were Bud Light and Miller Lite..👎

I ate the panchos (EXCELLENT). My date ate the caldo de rez, served all day, every day. Very good portion size, and food was...

In a shady looking plaza that is in bad need of repairs! Saw a drug sale go down too once. The restaurant used to be La Carreta and still has much of the rustic western decor but is not kept up to the same standards. The food is reasonably priced and tastes good. I have been here 3 times and have ordered something different each time. Every time it tasted really good. The salsas are tasty and not too pica which is an issue with Laredo restaurants. The chips are oversized and a bit...
