People always ask what's your favorite? Honestly, 208 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: I love it all. I taste it all. Every day 209 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: I'm tasting the food. But if I've been away from 210 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: it and I've had a lot of great meals or whatever, 211 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: the one thing that there's nothing duplicates it, and that 212 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: is our enchilada sauce.

But I've had more bad ones 222 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: than i've had good ones, and I do love the 223 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: ones at ok. 224 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 4: Well, we open it noon, We open it noon, and 225 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 4: we got guys in there at six. 226 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 5: That's what they're starting with.

It doesn't taste like any typical tomali. 297 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: I like all tamali's, but this is very unique. I've 298 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: often said too, it would make a great side dish 299 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: if you were serving ham. Oh yes, it would be great. 300 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 3: And so it's versatile.

You take 308 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: it out, you after it's been in the fridge, and 309 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: you take it out and you steam it just a 310 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: little bit. You can even microwave it in a wet towel, 311 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: and you take it out. You put some butter on 312 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: your kamala on your your flat top, and you see 313 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: her off both sides of it.

She is the face of the place. People 419 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 4: come a little bit to have a margarita and a 420 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 4: number one, but also they come to see Margie. Whether 421 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 4: it's after a wedding, after a funeral, after a baptism, 422 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 4: after fourth that whatever it might be, they want to 423 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 4: see Margie because Margie gives them now. 424 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: But the problem on a margin to Margie. 425 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm gonna come for the Margarita, stay for the Margie. 426 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 4: So but for her all day, every day, nine to 427 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 4: five from open clothes, come in. That's when you should 428 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 4: be at Coyoti. You should order everything there is the 429 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 4: best thing on the menu. You never need to eat 430 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 4: anywhere else. That's alkay. That's wonderful, but it's probably not 431 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 4: super realistic, whereas I try and be a little bit 432 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 4: more of the realistic. And I think everything we do 433 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: is pretty good, and there's some things we do better 434 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 4: than others. But she's very partial as you can tell, 435 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 4: and born and raised and she everything's perfect, and we 436 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 4: try to make everything perfect. 437 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 5: But it's not always that way. 438 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: But sometimes it's the sound of the orchestra, not one 439 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: in particular, you know, flute or string, or there's something 440 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: about the magic of it all coming together in the 441 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: location with the family, with the people and the food, 442 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: so that no one can duplicate that because it's like 443 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: an individual person. 444 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: Stick around. 445 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 2: One more segment with the good folks at l Coyote. 446 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: The fight may break out. I'm not going to promise anything. 447 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: It might get ugly in the last segment. I don't know. 448 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: We'll see. 449 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 6: You're listening to the Fork Report with Nil Savedra on 450 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 6: demand from KFI AM six forty. 451 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 2: Don't inhale food during the break and almost choke yourself. 452 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: I think it's a part of a corn chip. 453 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 5: Whoo. 454 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 2: I was talking and enjoying my conversation as I was eating, 455 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 2: and I think it has left the uvula.

And I love family owned places. I just 473 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: think they're dynamic. They're living, breathing entities, and it's not work. 474 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: It's an extension of who you are.

He 502 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: likes to be where he's watching him come in. 503 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: On the other yea style, don't turn your back to 504 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: the door. 505 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 3: On the other hand, when we're together, he likes to 506 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 3: take me around because I get stopped on the way. 507 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: Oh. 508 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: He wants me to kind of be hiding so cold 509 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: we can go have dinner because you know, I have 510 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: to talk to everybody. I mean, I know I'm not 511 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 3: going to buy them, and so it says you got 512 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: to get by here, or you go ahead, or you 513 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 3: go behind. It's very cute. I love all the rooms, 514 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 3: and they all have that we call the pink room. 515 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: We have this room in that room and they all 516 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 3: have a different vibe. One room can get very noisy. 517 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: I hate to stay noisy, but people's voices are raised. 518 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 3: They're having a good time, toysterous, they're having a great time, 519 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 3: and I'm glad they're having a great time. That can 520 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: happen here or there. But what's really magical is how 521 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 3: people will meet each other. They maybe don't know each other, 522 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: or they be come to know each other because they're 523 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: an El Coyote. Is that kind of a place. Oh yeah, 524 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 3: not just the bar, but I mean they're eating dinner 525 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 3: and then they'll start talking about well I'm having this 526 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 3: or you're having that, and it's just a place. It's 527 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: very unique that you get together. I often kind of 528 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 3: compare it also to kind of the pub feel that 529 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: you would have. I think it's kind of has that 530 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 3: a little bit. 531 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: It's a familiarity something where you've been a lot or 532 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 2: people know your name, kind of that cheers vibe. 533 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely when we have a cheers group. Oh 534 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: we do. They're there every day and we have actually 535 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 3: some dining customers that come almost every day. Well it's home, 536 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 3: you don't got to do that. Yeah, it's reasonable. 537 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: Why start making that variety, maybe they won't come in 538 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: as we welcome one and all take the trash out. 539 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 2: Hey, this is home to you, then this is how 540 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: we treat people at home now, very friendly.
