Coyote Flaco Mexican Restaurant will mark their 20th year serving up family recipes in Mansfield this March. To celebrate, the Cabrera family invites long-time regulars and new friends to enjoy menu specials and music on Tuesday, March 26 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Coyote Flaco first opened in Hartford in 1999, where it is still in business. Alcibiades and Esperanza Cabrera began looking to expand and included Mansfield in a list of possible new locations. “The reason my parents first decided to come to Mansfield is the same reason we’ve been lucky enough to be able to stay: the community,” says William Cabrera, who now owns the restaurant along with his brother Jose Cabrera. “My parents drove out here to just experience the town and its people multiple times before finally deciding to make the call and open the location here. Twenty years later and there is no doubt in my mind that they made the right decision.” Known for its traditional Mexican dishes, Coyote Flaco prides itself on using high quality ingredients and making their own sauces fresh each day. An expanding craft cocktails menu features fan favorites like margaritas made with fresh lime juice and in-house infused jalapeño tequila. “This restaurant was born from the dreams of my parents, and I along with Jose and Jaime, our head chef, have seen it transform before our eyes from a restaurant trying to make a name to a place where members of the community happily and regularly come to eat, drink, and spend time together,” says Mr. Cabrera. “In this way, we have achieved what my parents set out to do twenty years ago, and we are grateful to have been lucky enough to do so. We are happy to be celebrating twenty years this month, and every person who has ever walked through our doors has played a part in our story.” Coyote Flaco will celebrate their 20th year in Mansfield on Tuesday, March 26 with a Mariachi band performing from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM and special offers of $3 tacos and $6 house margaritas from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Coyote Flaco is located at 50 Higgins Highway, Mansfield Center, CT 06250.
