Coyo Taco

Wood-fired tacos and mezcal cocktails with a hidden back-room bar. A Las Olas staple for after-dark bites.

MexicanTacos$$· Late Night· Outdoor Seating
Right on Las Olas, Coyo Taco is a colorful, casual counter for Mexican street food, the kind of place where hand-pressed corn tortillas hold down a menu of al pastor, carne asada, and beef birria, plus a beer-battered grouper taco for anyone leaning seafood. The setting is upbeat and unfussy, built for grabbing a table outside and working through a few small plates rather than committing to one big entree. Word around town is mixed but leans toward "reliably good, occasionally inconsistent." Reviews often mention the cauliflower taco and the elote as quiet standouts, and more than one guest has called out the fish tacos and vegetarian options as fresh. There's also chatter that quality can vary visit to visit, with a couple of reviewers noting thinner portions or underseasoned meat on an off night. On the service side, staff get individual praise for being attentive and warm, especially around margaritas and busy event days. This is a good fit for the late-night crowd and anyone who wants outdoor seating with a margarita in hand, whether that's a pre-work lunch or a post-parade wind-down. Prices sit in the moderate range, tacos mostly under fifteen dollars, which makes it easy to order a spread without much commitment. It's not a place chasing perfection so much as steady, colorful, tequila-forward fun, and for Las Olas foot traffic, that's exactly the role it plays. Menu items, prices, and hours may have changed since this was written.
