Coya's Cafe — Restaurant in Moline

I SO badly wanted to like this place. I'd heard such good things about it, and obvs most people have a great experience. We did not. Parking was a mess and it was very hard to find a place to park. When we entered, there were no less than six people standing at the front of the very small restaurant. They appeared to be super busy. We opted for dine-in. I ordered the Quesa Burria Tacos after looking at the photo on the wall. I wanted four of them, but you can only order them in threes. No biggie. Per the picture on their wall, the Quesa Tacos looked to be meat, cheese, shell. Great, I thought, since I don't care for onions and cilantro.

Took us close to 30 mins to get our food, which was just six tacos. I had wanted two waters, but no free water was available - you had to purchase bottled water. Chips and salsa are also not free - $3 for that. Again, my mistake for not sitting down and checking the menu before I ordered. When I finally got our tacos, I looked at them and said, "Oh, I ordered the Quesa Burria Tacos" and the woman behind the counter said that's what they were. I looked up at the photo on the wall, and back at my entree, and it clearly was not the same thing. My tacos had a ton of onions and cilantro on them. The photo on the wall did not have onions or cilantro. See my photos.

The tacos were so oily/greasy that my mom could not eat them. We both agreed the taste was phenomenal, however. I finished all three of my tacos. And we split a slice of tres leche cake. The cake was great. There are so many things I want to try, and the place is super cute. But not sure I will be back.

Food quality was great, albeit greasy on the tacos. A $27 lunch for two with no drinks however... a bit much. And the wait... way too long...

We just discovered this place this last weekend as I was looking for just a small meal for take out, of some Queso Birra Tacos and I found this spot on a Google search for highly-rated birra tacos near me. This place had All good reviews about All if their foods from what I could see And their Menu looked very Vast with the choices they had to offer! Almost Every popular, Mexican dish, and even desserts, you could want! That looked Exciting! 🤩 The place is actually in Moline so across the Mississippi River from where we were in Davenport, Iowa, but not too far at all. The place is small but very cute and Very popular as there were cars and people just coming in and out constantly from this place, And a good line inside so that was a good sign that we had found just the kind of Mexican spot I was looking for! 👌🏽 The service was Friendly and Attentive to myself and everyone else that came up in there that I could see. There menu was quite Vast so we're gunna have to go back when we can for sure! Mi esposo, my hubby just got some of their carné asada tacos and I got an order or Queso Birra ones and also a whole Eloté on the stick And a piece of amazing looking Tres Leches, Strawberry Cake for us to share. It waa huge! 😍😋🍰🌮🌽 Everything was Muy Delicioso Im telling y'all! I promise! I recommend this olace for sure to try out whenever you're in the Quad Cities...

The bright colors of the building caught my eye just long enough to see the OPEN sign as we were driving by on our way to a pancake spot for breakfast. A Mexican breakfast sounded great so we turned around and it was the best decision we've made for a while. My SO ordered chilequiles with green sauce and two eggs over easy while I went with red sauce and added chorizo along with the eggs to mine. These were the best chilequiles I've ever had, the best Mexican breakfast, and really one of the best breakfasts I've had of any kind. The chorizo was nice and spicy with the perfect amount of dark n crispy bits with a nice lacing of crema. We also ordered mugs of fantastically delicious abuelita, Mexican Hot Chocolate, topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and a 'nilla cookie. The ladies working were charming and very modest in the face of our gushing at the end of our meal. We were in town from STL but visit my mom in RI often. I can't wait to come back and have tacos here next trip. I've had a lot of good Mexican food in a lot of places and from the lil taste of Coya's I enjoyed yesterday morning I have no doubt that most anything on their menu is going to...
