    We placed an order for 40 people for chicken tacos, rice and beans. They delivered right on time and with a generous amount of serving spoons. It came with a HUGE bag of chips, the hugest salsa I've ever seen, pico, lettuce, cheese, beans, rice, tortillas and chicken. All the side arrived hot and a very generous amount.... Expect for the chicken. We barely had enough for 40 people and I felt like it was a small tray for 40 people. I also didn't really like the tortillas... by the time people ate, all the tortillas got stuck together. I did really enjoy the flavor of the chicken. But people overall enjoyed it , I just don't know if I would get it catered again.

    Shrimp Burrito

    I've eaten here ( Davis location) for 25+ years. Thus I've already written a bunch about the regular menu. So today's review is about the new seasonal spinach and asparagus quesadilla. It's delicious! I added the grilled shrimp for $3 extra and was very happy with the amount of shrimp they added. The dipping sauce was nice and tangy and a little spicy. Overall it had great flavor and I really liked it. Was surprised the amount of asparagus wasn't significant, but maybe that's cause I added shrimp? Anyway very yummy and a nice seasonal addition. Arugulas side salad was also well dressed and a nice accompaniment.

    Beautiful out door patio along the bike trail!

    Have you had your DOS today? I love the Dos Coyotes Border Cafès! Because there is no Dos Coyotes near me in El Dorado Hills, I try to hit one up whenever I am out and about in an area where one is located. There are nine locations. Two in Davis, 3 in Sacramento, 1 in Elk Grove, 1 in Roseville, 1 in Citrus Heights, and 1 in Folsom. Each restaurant serves the same delicious South Western food, provides an engaging atmosphere, and offers exceptional value. That includes over-the-top customer service, too! Consistency is definitely the mantra. Something many chains are not able to pull off. Today, I am at the Folsom Dos! And "hangry" to say the least. Walking in, I am happy to see Eric one of the cool employees I have run into at the Citrus Heights location. He is so pleasant and ready to take your counter order with a great big smile. Thanks, Eric! After ordering, I stroll to the outside patio in the back. It is beautiful, peaceful, and overlooks a bicycle path that is so lovely. This is probably my favorite of all the locations. The menu items are all bomb. Specials are offered at each location. Right now they include: Frito Pie, Grilled Shrimp Grain Bowl with Strawberry Salsa, Sizzling Fajitas - Grilled Vegetables, the 505 Chili-Cheese Burrito, Sizzling Fajitas - Garlic/Chile Shrimp, Sizzling Fajitas - Traditional Tex-Mex, Green Chile Stew, an Hank's Cubano. Whew! The run down for each of these specials would be impossible to include. But I can assure you, the menu descriptions sound mouth watering. I love that the farm-to-table movement is supported and celebrated at each location, resulting in the best food from the freshest ingredients! Bobby Coyote (yep...that is his name) states in his bio that Dos Coyotes is the result of two major inspirations. His love of Santa Fe and his childhood in Los Angeles. In LA, he ate some of the best, authentic Mexican food. A trip to Santa Fe introduced him to creating fusions and hybrids with other cultures that came to define "Southwestern Cuisine." Delicious!!! Sustainability efforts are supported and listed on their website t. Community involvement is a part of the culture, and ways to engage with the business are made available on the website. All I can say is the food totally rocks at each and every Dos Coyotes Border Café. There is something for everybody! Adult beverages. I LOVE the Hornitos Margaritas! Kid drinks and menu. Clean, organized, and the lines move quickly. These employees are on it! I have never had a problem parking at any of the restaurants. This is a very special chain of cafès and we are sooooooo lucky to have them in our region. Welp, I certainly had my DOS today! Have you had yours? :-)

    Tomatillo Salsa, red salsa w/ Pico de Gallo, spicy habanero salsa, creamy green salsa with nopales/cactus in it?

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food - this ain't the place for you. What you get though is a Tex-mex/ New Mexico or Arizona style- mex style fresh meal. I ordered the green enchilada plate with chicken enchiladas and the bf got one of the Spring specials- Hank's cubano. The enchiladas were great and flavorful - the sauce had a sweet tanginess to it - similar to one of the green tomatillo salsas from the salsa bar. It also came with choice of beans and rice and chips. Hank's cubano is a spin on a cuban sandwich- its actually not on bread at all but rather a tortilla and it comes with an amazing housemade mustard dipping sauce. That definitely sold me. I had to steal one of the pieces off my bf's plate ;P. The color, decor, and vibe is so fun with vibrant colors and cute sculptures and statues. It's a casual place and you just go up to the counter to order and they give you a number and you choose a seat and they bring the food out to your table. Service was great and quick. They have lots of fun drinks by the can/bottle displayed nicely and even alcohol options. They also have fountain drinks. Their Salsa bar is also quite the display with many mild to spicy options. We tried a few different ones (see photo). I think the fact that my boyfriend loves this place and he gave me the background on it and how to prep for it really made it the 5 star for me. Thank you for this experience Dos Coyotes!

    Ranchero Burrito
    Mel J.

    We went on Tuesday night to get a take away for dinner. The parking was full so I had to circle once to get a spot. The restaurant was quite busy but the line moved quickly. We got our order within 10 mins of ordering. - Kids chicken burrito: my kid said it was good but the portion was so small that he was still hungry - Ranchero burrito a la carte with chicken: good portion with loads of delicious sauce and melting cheese. The burrito itself was delicious and flavorful. - Tortilla chips: fresh, crispy & delicious! Tips: There is a self-serve salsa with different spiciness. Get the sweet & mild salsa! It was DELICIOUS!!! The spicy pico de gallo was good & fresh too.

We came by for a family lunch today right at opening after youngest promotion day. I'm sure it was strategically planned as he wanted to hit up Barnes and Nobles after for some books ;) I got myself a smart book worm kid I tell yah...must be my side of the family hahaha. Anyways, back to the review...we were the first diners to arrive. My oldest son is always down for Poke! Nolan ordered a large and it was 5 scoops of protein for $25.95 (fairly small scoops imo), with a base of his choice and he chose mix rice and mixed greens. I asked him what his thoughts were and he said it was nothing special and that it was kinda pricey for what he got. He also said he was confused when he was trying to pick the fish from the buffet space as it didn't match the signs in front of them so he had to order from the menu and watch the guys put it in his bowl. Not sure if they just weren't ready for us as we were the first diners of the day. My youngest ordered the Taco trio which consists of 1 Ahi Poke Taco, 1 Salmon Poke Taco and 1 Cooked Salmon Taco for $19.99. The entree came out looking pretty appetizing but we were disappointed that the taco shells were all stale. Not crunchy in anyway. My son ate most of the filling and left the shells. We ordered the SALMON CARPACCIO which was described as 7 pieces thinly sliced fresh salmon, microgreens, sesame seeds, japanese seven spice, yuzu ponzu for 18.50 to share. When this came out, my son was so surprised that it was so tiny as it was not enough to share so my little man had it all to himself. I couldn't decide what to order. I debated on the fish and chips but was told they didn't have batter so it was a no go special today. The said the poke nacho's was popular but I wasn't craving poke personally. So my partner and I ended up ordering (2) servings of Garlic Shrimp. When I asked how many shrimps came with the servings, the guy behind the counter didn't know. It came out with 7 shrimps and a tiny bit of garlic over a ton of rice. Flavor was good, I wanted more sauce and garlic to go with the rice we were given. This place doesn't skimp on rice in their bowls. All in all, portions to prices were a bit off for us. The guys behind the counters were nice. Place was clean.

I was shocked, and frankly, it's an insult in my opinion, that Rudy's is so "cheap" about the bread! For all we pay for our dinners, asking for extra bread should not be a problem nor an extra charge! That really is a shame because now I am hesitant to consider bringing friends to Rudy's. I hope management will reconsider its' position on the service of bread.

There's just…read moresomething so so soothing and satisfying about this cuisine and something so communal and fun that I just can't get enough. When considering a hot pot restaurant, I think you have to look at two things the broth choices, and the selection of the signature proteins. A lot of places will try to convince you that you need to upgrade to the premium level to get access to the best of the best, but I am more appreciate places like this one that offer a ton at the low and medium level with only a few really choice select things added to the premium level Making the decision pretty easy. We opted for the mid tier which included several cuts of beef, lamb, pork chicken, as well as a lot of fun, add-ins, like fish balls, and tofu, skin, chrysanthemum greens, and more. For broth, I went with the Sichuan spicy medium heat level and frankly I probably could've dialed it up a little bit. As the broth evaporated did get hotter and hotter like it's supposed to and I did have a couple of reactions to the heat as it hit my sinuses, but other than that, it was deliciously tolerable. Now, while we upgraded to the midtier, my favorite cut of meat had to have been the spicy beef and the green chili chicken. Both of these had house marinades or dry seasonings on them that made the meat delicious and added it to the broth as well. But above all that the real shining star here has to be the service. The server was ever present in the most appropriate way possible quick to take an order, and the kitchen was even quicker to get that order to us. The restaurant was completely clean and we were never wanting for more than literally a second. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area if you live in the area and you haven't been, you are seriously missing out. Oh yeah and the shrimp balls are made in house and insanely good!

The servers were nice and wished us happy birthday multiple times, which was nice. We got the Broadbent North coast Cabernet, the Stoneleigh Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc as our drinks for the evening. Hubby loved his Cabernet. I loved my sauvignon. For food we ordered the calamari as an appetizer, 6 oz Angus cut fillet and the 12oz prime top loin cut with a side of mashed potatoes, cooked medium rare. The calamari was great - light, not too greasy, accompanied by a basil aioli and a modified marinara sauce, just wonderful! We got some complimentary bread but it wasn't freshly made, so the crust was a little tough. Among our steak options, the Angus cut was beautiful - tender, juicy, melting in the mouth. The top loin cut was more chewy especially on the outside, so we think it was cooked a little more than a medium rare. The center was better. Both portions were quite heavy. The mashed potatoes were decent - creamy and smooth but could have done with more seasoning. What soured things for us a little bit was the end of our meal. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they gave us a bowl of vanilla ice cream with candles to blow on. This is a very sweet sentiment. However, we didn't really ask for it. We were then charged for this "complimentary" dessert in the check. Yes, it was only $7 but why charge us for something that we didn't ask for in the first place! Considering that this is an upscale steakhouse with dishes priced as high as $75, it left a bad taste in my mouth that they can't throw in a free dessert on the house for a celebration. We paid $200 in total for the food and tips, so obviously be prepared for a pricey meal.
