Its been years since we last ate hear. Nothing changed, food is still outstanding and full of flavor. Price went up a bit, but still reasonable. Service is still great. Highly recommended. read more

My hubby and I live this place. We eat here once a week. I like the shrimp burrito and my hubby likes the fish burrito. The food is so good that during the pandemic we would get our food and eat in the car. Staff here is great and they keep the place clean. HIGHLY recommend. read more

It is very rare when Dos Coyotes in North Davis drops the ball. Last week my takeout order turned out to be a Border burrito instead of my requested Southwest burrito. I chalked up the error to a new staffer. This week as usual, I attended Mass at 7 p.m. on Sunday night. Mass lets out after 8:15 p.m. and since I know Dos Coyotes kitchen stops at 8:30 p.m. I called them from my vehicle by 8:25 p.m. because I can tell I won't make it in time. Anyway the staff member reluctantly took my order reminding me yet again that they stop taking orders at 8:30 p.m.. I explained that's why I'm calling! She asks me to pay my credit card first (never been asked that before) so I pull over, and gave her my credit card. Arriving just after 8:30 p.m. I see my bag with my to-go order on it. I took my bag home hoping there had been no errors in what I had ordered this week. Thankfully it appears to be a Southwest burrito with chicken, but unfortunately it appears the bowl is only half empty! There was some chicken underneath the guacamole and pico de gallo. Dos Coyotes is usually a very good value. Tonight, I was glad I did not tip them. After I put it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up, it was still the most disappointing meal I've had since last Sunday night's disappointment, when I got a full Bowl of a meal that I didn't ask for. If they didn't have enough chicken to put in my bowl tonight, perhaps they could have reimbursed me or called to tell me? Perhaps they could have thrown another piece of chicken on and grilled it? I would have been happy to wait... Come on management! Where's the quality control in your operation? Shouldn't quality control be applied from the first meal of the day to the last meal of the day? read more

Dos Coyotes Border Cafe - Just took off the lid and where's the food in this usually full Bowl? There should be chicken and cheese with my pico de gallo. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Davis, California

Great for take out. Healthy fresh food. I like salsa instead of the creamy dressings on my salad.

Steak border burrito hits the spot when you are craving a decent burrito. The chips are also pretty good. The only thing that needs work is the distribution of food, everything is clumped to one side and it is not evenly distributed. The steak is flavored nicely and i'd say there is a decent amount of steak. The size of the burrito is reasonable for one person, maybe the price is a little expensive. All in all would get tho. read more

My husband and I have eaten here for years. Over 23 to be exact. This is his favorite location as this is where they would eat in college. We should have known that tonight was not a good night to have dinner here.. We walked in and the cook was yelling at the girl packing orders. Completely unprofessional and embarrassing. I looked at her and said wow! No management insight to correct what was happening either. Now onto dinner. We waited over 30 minutes for our 2 identical Chicken Cesar Salads with no corn / bean salsa and no chips. As our diet does not allow those ingredients. My husband's salad had regular salad in it and mine had dime size pieces of salad. Oh and over a can of corn on it. No exagerating. See the photos. I am sad. But won't return here for a while. read more

*NO POOP, SHERLOCK* Sounds like those comparing this to "authentic Mexican food" are fairly lost. I'm still trying to understand the confusion over this being a fusion place, so I'll end that here: YES, IT IS FUSION. I don't think the word "Mexican" is used more than a couple times on the menu even. If you want authentic Mexican food, this is NOT your place. If you are looking for a twist on Mexican flavors, Dos is a great option to get some *fused* flavors of the Southwest. Picked up some burritos for a PCR class at UCD. The burritos were cut in half and wrapped in foil for a conference-convenient lunch. Just keep in mind that if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, you should keep looking. But Dos does Tex-Mex very well. read more

Pros: -very clean -large, delicious salad bar of salsas -great customer service -ample indoor and outdoor seating -tons of parking available -cute decor -HUGE portions, great for the price -unique flavors (I.e. Mango and raspberry salsa) Cons: -I've definitely had far better, more authentic Mexican food (this is more of a Mexican-American fusion sort of place). - $0.80 upcharge for sour cream (this annoys me; my burritos are always incomplete without my sour cream!) read more

Welp Gave this place another try since my bone burrito experience. Don't order delivery from here. If your gonna charge over 10 dollars for nachos- make sure you bag the whole item. I missing all the sides. Chips were in the bag but no salsas. Everything was dry. Yet another disappointing experience. read more

I just ordered the salmon burrito as a bowl. Fish was bad and they still added it to my bowl. I just about vomited on my first bite. Waste of money! This is my second time here and both were a fail. Pass on coming back. read more

This place has never disappointed me. Everything is delicious, fresh and worth the price. Salads are huge (so far have tried only the Adobe and Yucatan salads) and easily able to serve 2 people. I've also had their special Pineapple, shrimp quesadilla - delicious and not heavy at all (light on the cheese as it came with its own Tex-Mex type of sauce). They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Service has been good on all occasions I've been there. Will be coming back again! read more

I last went to a Dos Coyotes many years ago and happened open this location in the middle of a bike ride through Davis. The entree portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff were friendly. Plenty of seating available inside on a Sunday with most people eating outside. The grilled vegetable quesadilla was just what I was looking for: large, tasty, and spicy! read more

I ordered nachos that was just as basic as my 5 year old would make it consisted of chips cheese some beans and steak there was a red sauce on there they cooked it in and was soggy chips before the plate got to my table I will not eat there again.

I don't want to be an asshole, but if you love Mexican food. DO NOT COME HERE. The place is nice, the staff are friendly. Food is disappointing and bad. I went hoping my first experience was just a bad day for them. Nope, the food is not okay, I am still upset about it. read more

My first time trying Dos Coyotes. I'm a fan. For me, this place fills the void that Chipotle leaves - FISH! As a pescatarian, I get tired of eating tofu at Chipotle. This was a great alternative with plenty of seafood options. + Cheap. + Lots of options. + Tasty (had a fish burrito - they were out of mahi mahi but they offered a substitute fish). + Large portions. + Friendly service. + Multiple beer options. + Salsa bar. + Cute decor. - The food took a while but it's all good. After all, it's not Chipotle. read more

Amazing food and super quick! I got the adobe salad with chicken and it was a huge portion. I also really like the salsa bar there. They use to have a guacamole with blue cheese and bacon and it was the best ever! I can't wait for it to be back on the menu. read more

Did Coyotes is my go-to "I want Mexican food but I'm too lazy to drive" spot. It usually satisfies my craving but never blows me away. Service is usually pretty good but at times the wait for food can be awhile. I wouldn't recommend the burritos if you're used to authentic Mexican food. My recommendations are the santa Fe nachos with chicken, or something off their seasonal menu. They often offer unique flavor combinations, fresh fish as the protein, or more interesting fusion items. Food: 3.5/5 Value: 3.25/5 Service: 3.5/5 Overall: 3.5/5 read more

Dos Coyotes is the best play for a burrito. Hands down. My usual for the last 17 years has been the Ranchero Burrito A La Carte which comes with your choice of grilled meat plus a wet cheese/onion sauce over the burrito. It is so good! No fillers either..no rice, no beans, just meat, guac, and salsa inside. Their homemade chips go well with the cheese sauce or just top it with some meat and you're good to go! I've heard their fish tacos are excellent but I never want to stray from my favorite dish...hmm actually, maybe I'll get both next time! Don't forget to check out their generous salsa bar. I should just buy a gallon of their salsas to bring back home. Unfortunately, there are only locations in the Davis, Sacramento area...none in the bay area. That's why Dos Coyotes is always a stop or pit stop whenever we had up to Davis, Lake Tahoe, Reno, or Sacramento... read more

Dos Coyotes Border Cafe - Tex-Mex Near Me - Davis, California

This place is really good! I live across the street from this restaurant so it's my place to go when I am craving for some Mexican food and I am lazy to go anywhere else. Their burritos are delicious and their salads are huge and fulfilling too! I've had their Border burrito and their wet burrito which were both very good with the right amount of flavoring. I've also had their Yucatan Salad and their Adobe Salad which are both great and they give a lot with a tortilla underneath it. I am never able to finish it in one sitting so I always have some leftovers to eat later. Place is clean and nicely set up and the service here is great. The people are quick about the orders you make! read more

Dos Coyotes Border Cafe - HUGE Adobe Salad! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Davis, California

I was able to try this joint out while I was in town for a conference at UC Davis. I was trying to be healthyish so I ordered the salmon spinach salad even though I really wanted to try a burrito. You place your food order first and then they bring the food to your table, we decided to sit outside on the patio since it was a nice day outside. The flies were a little out of control but other than that it was pretty relaxing. My salmon salad was pretty solid, it was topped with some mango salsa and the vinaigrette that the salad was tossed in was a bit mild but was good. The salmon was super fresh but was a bit bland. I would love to come back and try out some other things on their menu! read more

This is a hard because I've been going to Dos Coyotes for 10+ years, but going to review mostly based off of recent experiences. The food has always been inconsistent, often forgetting major components on the dish (usually sauces for tacos, in burritos, etc). I have had a dish be amazing and order it again a week later and it looks way different/disappointed. The worst is the salmon salad which was drenched in oily salad dressing that tasted like nothing, wasn't edible. To bad because the salmon and all the components were right on. read more

Great location and friendly staff. Love the food here because of all the great flavors. Gotta get the Santa Fe Chicken Nachos. Something about that sauce is soooo amazing. The menu is extensive and has lots of choices. The salsa bar is great. They also have the futuristic soda machine where you can select a bunch of options for each soda type. So many options. read more

Excellent food every time I'm here. I get the fish tacos and they don't disappoint. 10/10 would recommend.

I've eaten here so many times I can't keep count. I just want to say that the southwest chicken burrito is by far my favorite burrito ever. I'm not a big rice and beans fan but I still love a good burrito and dos gets it: the south west burrito is protein, salsa, guac and cheese and they do not skimp out on any of the ingredients. I'm just so glad that they have this as an option, because at other places if you ask for no beans and rice, they might not do it, because they don't want to give you extra protein and they heavily use rice as filler (yuck). Dos also has a great salsa bar selection. My favorite is the avocado salsa. Whenever I'm in davis I always stop here and it's one of those things I miss about living there. But really, I just wrote this review to show my love. read more

I have a friend who could eat Mexican food for every single meal of every single day and be content with himself. Hanging out with him means I eat it a lot too. Tbh I always thought I was obsessed with Mexican food but I've been de-throned...and then some. Dos has two locations in Davis and is a franchise found in multiple other cities. Their food is definitely Tex-Mex, there is always some added thing to the dish that you definitely won't find on the guads menu. I had the paella burrito and smothered it in salsa. Everythign was cooked well although there was not much depth to any of the flavors in my burrito. Guads is still one of my favorites! There's usually a line here to order but it moves pretty quickly. Sometimes though, if you're here during a rush or just service is slow, it can take a while. The store itself is pretty big so you shouldn't have a problem finding seating. There is a ton of parking available outside as well since there are a ton of stores in the area including Safeway and Petco. The inside of the store is decorated all cute which is a plus while you're eating! What I order: Paella Burrito read more

I ordered a ranchero burrito through door dash (it's very messy ,it's wet) because of prior incidents of not receiving utensils I did call and ask for utensils to be placed in bag I was told they will make sure of it , well they DID NOT place any utensils in bag I'm at work a location in which I cannot leave and I have a wet burrito and no utensils . One thing I can say about this business is they are consistent and not in a good way .I do however want to recognize the cooks they did a exceptional job with quality of the food read more

Forgot completely about Dos Coyote since the pandemic started. My wife wanted a salad for lunch after church. I was thinking of several other restaurants when my wife reminded me of Dos. I ordered her favorite salad, Adobe with chicken. I ordered a paella burrito. The order was ready for pickup when we got there. Went home and ate our lunch. Now, I remember why we use to go to Dos Coyote after church service. Dos Coyote is her favorite place for a salad and she wasn't disappointed. I love their burritos and I wasn't disappointed either. Great food. read more

We usually eat at the south Davis location but we were heading to the west side of town so had lunch at this location. This was the first ever location for Dos Coyotes and is quite large after doubling its original size many years ago. As usual we split a Southwest chicken burrito. The food was delivered to our table quickly and they brought us the requested extra plate. At the salsa bar the seasonal roasted corn salsa is making a welcome appearance. Today our chips were a little greasy but we've never had problems with greasy chips before so no star deductions for this aberration. The dining area could use some sound dampening features as it is really noisy with all the hard surfaces. read more

I always ask for my receipt when I go because they inevitably take forever and it's nice to know at what time I ordered for my own sanity. They tend to take between 15-30 minutes usually. A few times in the past they've skimped on salmon or scallops in a burrito and replaced it with shrimp or chicken which was upsetting because some things cost more than others and I'm not getting what I paid for. Update: they definitely put chicken in my "seafood fajita burrito" instead of the scallops that it states on the menu. If you're out of something why not tell the customer instead of taking the extra money and cheating them??? Like what if I was a pescaterian? It's like a whole $2 extra for seafood too :( That's it. I've been a customer for 9 years but this sucks. no more dos for me read more

They wanted an extra 1.50 for the chips. I've never had Mexican restaurant charge you for chips. That was a big red flag. My burrito was cold! I didn't send it back because I know that it would come back with some sort of secret sauce or added ingredients, if you know what I mean. This is that kind of place. The place is dirty. There's food all over the seats the table tops were all sticky and dirty. We had to clean up the tables and the seats ourselves. Food is not authentic. The food was not good at all. Probably one of the worst Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. I will never come back here again. read more

I think it's time for my wife and I to take a break from Dos. These last few times haven't been that good. Dissatisfied on the quality of food. It really is a hit or miss for us. The sad part is that it's not like it's a complicated dish. Burritos should be consistent when it comes to making them and for some reason they have the hardest time rolling them up. I'm not sure if it's a rumor but i was told they should be close to 1lb in weight. This last one we got looked deflated and it was mostly tortilla. Once awhile I'll try something different the chicken taquitos are now made with chipotle!? Not a fan. Another time I ordered a salad and the chicken was barely there mostly all greens. I do like their food when it's made right and customer service has been fine every time. I have been told if I don't like something to take it back but when you are hungry and they are busy the last thing I want to do is wait more to become hangry. read more

Been here a few times now, and it's altogether fine. Not the best or most authentic Mexican place, but if you're looking to mix things up it's a good option. They have some more unique dishes on the menu, like lots of different salads which is rare at most Mexican places. I was a little disappointed with the burrito I got here though...the ingredients were soooo badly distributed! When eating it I ate all the rice on its own at the top, then all the meat and cheese, and then the whole bottom quarter, maybe even third, was just beans and nothing else. Not great! I came back a second time and ordered tacos, which were much better. They were nothing too special, but I really liked the chicken in them (charbroiled, maybe?) I will also say that the environment is a lot nicer than some of the hole-in-the-wall Mexican places, which have little seating or ambience. Dos Coyotes feels clean, colorful, and open, which is better if you're dining with a group! read more

I've been dining at Dos for the last 20+ years, and they never disappoint with the quality of food. Generous portions for items like Navajo nachos, Adobe salad, etc. Conversion to take-out mode seems to work well. Orders are sealed and placed on a table with large labels, easy to grab-and-go. read more
