| - I stopped by here last Thursday evening. Living close by and a huge burrito fan, I walked along to Coyote Willie's wondering why I don't go more often. I had visited once before, eight months ago, and vaguely recall a satisfying, but not outstanding experience, so was interested to try again - especially seeing how I didn't order any actual Mexican food last time (I believe it was just a regular sandwich.)
My conclusions ended up being about the same this time around.
The service was very friendly and helpful, and preparation time was standard for a burrito take-out place. I ordered a vegetarian burrito (as I generally do in all Mexican joints), and was pleased to see that the price was about average,perhaps slightly lower, than what you'd usually pay for the same product elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the taste was quite disappointing. I wasn't a fan of the shredded carrots, and there was a distinct lack of the regular vegetables that you'd generally find in a vegetarian burrito - e.g: onions, peppers, refried beans. Don't get me wrong - they were definitely there, but the abundance of shredded carrots overpowered them. In fact, the carrots even overpowered the salsa!
What really dominated this burrito, however, was the tortilla itself. I'm not sure if it just wasn't cooked as long as it should have been, or if the tortillas used here are simply extra doughy, but if there was one element dominating even those cursed shredded carrots, it was the tortilla. The taste of flour and dough hit me from the first second of my first bite.
Despite the above, I probably will try Coyote Willie's again. Its friendliness and expansive menu options (for such a tiny place) are enough to ensure that the business deserves to do well. Also, it's not their fault their ingredients in the veggie burrito deviated slightly from the standard. The veggies within were obviously fresh, and cooked well. I just didn't like the particular combination.
I will visit again, try something else, and update accordingly!
