    I have not been to a dos coyotes in years cam in with a friend and was thoroughly impressed. The cashier was very helpful with menu suggestions, salsa bar was impressive with lots of choices, the food was served quick and was very tasty. I don't eat put often, but this was an excellent choice. Hope to be back again soon. I ordered the 3 taco plate with rice and beans. 2 shredded chicken and 1 shredded beef crispy tacos, packed with flavor. My friend ordered the shrimp taco, and 2 Mahi tacos.

    We just had the best chicken salad I've ever had. It was so big I couldn't finish it. But it was also great tasting. So if you go dos coyotes go with an appetite, and the salads are always great.

    Shrimp Burrito bowl
    Lily M.

    I mean flavor was solid. The chips had a nice crunch and were slightly warm. The salsa we got didn't have too much flavor but complimented the crunch and didn't make them soggy fast. I mainly used the chips to dip into the bowl. There was a good amount in the bowl, couldn't finish it in one sitting for sure. I wish there was more corn and protein. The 6 shrimp were seasoned well but kinda small. If they were cut up maybe they would feel bigger? Other than that the portions of all the other items was a good amount. We did a big takeout order and the workers were very nice they even helped my coworker take it to his car! Plenty of parking in the area, can get kinda busy.

    Santa Fe Nachos
    michelle g.

    Overall like this place. Workers are very friendly and great. Our go to are the tacos and quesadilla, which are both very good. Really wanted nachos tonight, though. Remember being pretty unimpressed before, so I tried the Santa Fe version. They were not flavorful at all, which I was hoping the sauce would help with. It did not. The chips are suuuper thin, like Taco Bell thin or maybe even thinner and only the very top ones are crispy. Notice the stack underneath- only the very top has toppings. Bella Bru has the best nachos from my experience, but they are not the traditional flavor and family didn't want to go there. One star for this dish. Skip it, unless you desperately need nachos.

    Border Burrito bowl w/ chips.

    Decided to check this place out as I was in the area. I ordered the Border Burrito Bowl. Flavor-wise, it was really good and it's definitely a good value. The ambiance is what you'd expect out of a Mexican chain restaurant. The staff were nice and friendly and the service was quick, which I definitely appreciated. That being-said, I did ask for several ingredients to be left out, and unfortunately, everything I asked to remove was still in the bowl. I didn't notice until I was a few bites in, which was frustrating. I get that mistakes happen, and the food itself was tasty, but it kind of takes away from the experience when a specific order isn't followed. If you do have specific dietary needs, definitely double-check your food before taking your first bite.

    Shrimp Burrito

    Although I've eaten here off and on throughout the years, I am reviewing on the most experience my co-workers and I had. Quite a few of us randomly decided to swing by since it was close to our office on a Thursday roughly after 12pm. Ample parking and a fair amount of seating both inside and immediately outside the establishment. I decided on the shrimp burrito. Although the burrito was very filling and delicious, I wasn't particularly fond of the salsa i grabbed. It was rather on the sweet end. I knocked it down 2 stars due to observing inconsistent means in bringing food orders to everyone. Although it is understandable for staff to have some difficulty bringing food to everyone when we're all sitting in various areas, they'd probably benefit from having a sort of ticketing system displayed outside when their food is ready (or a loud speaker. By the time we were all practically done with our meal, one co-worker was still waiting for his meal and had to go to the front, receive an incorrect order and ended up just taking it home to go. This hasnt been my experience in the past and generally the food is pretty good so I'll just take it thst they were busy that day. It won't hinder me from going back in the future.

    Border Burrito

    They make their burritos so small here compared to other locations. Arden location is the best dos coyotes I've been to in Sacramento. Elk Grove is a close second In terms of freshness of chicken and burrito size. This location just fills it with mostly sour cream. You eating mostly sauce if you order a burrito from here. It's kinda sad. Go down the street to el pollo loco if you're looking for a decent sized burrito.

    Food is good here. It's more texmex. Salad was filling. Good service. Nice aesthetic here.

    Green Chile Stew and Yolo Mango Burrito
    Melissa G.

    I recently sampled Dos Coyotes' Green Chile Stew at a fundraising event, and I came back on a weekday for lunch to get my fix! The service was quick and attentive, and to my surprise, my partner and I were able to order lunch for two for under $30! We dined in, and inside is well kept with unique Southwest decor and finishes. In addition to the Green Chile Stew, we also ordered the Yolo Mango burrito which came with chips and salsa. The salsa bar had lots of options, and the salsa Verde packed the right amount of heat. Our meals were not just well priced, but also delicious. I'd highly recommend if you're looking for quick service Mexican!

    From the customer service to the food it was a 10/10 experience for me. Im a little under the weather and had the soup ( i forgot the name ) but it was chicken with potatoes, the slightest spice had me all the way right. The owner always comes out to greet everyone along with the beautiful decor I would def recommend.

    Shrimp Burrito
    Krystal W.

    Good burritos, quesadillas, chips, and salsa! What more could you want?! I am pleasantly surprised by this place. I had the shrimp burrito and added the mild green sauce on it. What a great combination! Additionally, I had the quesadilla with hatch Chile. I added the steak which was a good choice! The fixings that they provide made it such a great quesadilla. Ambiance - you order in the front and the staff will bring you your food. It was a nice casual place to eat. I am coming back for more!

    Some of the most consistent food you can get in the Natomas area. I highly recommend their burrito bowls and their new chicken wings!

    After seeing The Odyssey at the Esquire IMAX, we walked over to Tequila Museo Mayahuel for dinner…read more It was the perfect way to end our evening! The restaurant had great energy and a fun, buzzy atmosphere. The crowd was a lively mix of people from the Capitol, couples enjoying date night and moviegoers grabbing dinner before or after a show. We ordered the carnitas and carne asada. Both plates were generous and full of flavor. The carnitas were tender and practically fell apart with a fork, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly.

Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.

They didn't just walk by like frazzled, hurried workers like most restaurants pushing through the crowds. They actually gave me a nice smile and said welcome, and then walked by. And then I got to the reception area found that there was already a pretty big crowd at around the 5:30 PM or so I guess a lot of early birds come to eat there on Sunday. The receptionist asked for how many and said you'd be like a 20 minute wait and there was chairs where people were waiting but it was only like a 15 minute wait. The server was fast with the chips and salsa and ice water and then soon the waiter came and took my order. He was really quick and witty, fun to talk to. What I really enjoyed was as the noise of the table Near quieted down and they left. I saw a young man cleaning up the table and getting it ready for the next group of people. He was dressed really nice and had a tie on. Having been in restaurants most of my life I said to myself, I bet you he works with the owners or something. And I said to him, are your related to people that own the place ? he said my parents own this place. He was very friendly and polite. He told me a tiny bit about the restaurant and how everything had been since 1970, much older than he was, he was only a sophomore in high school I think. I never really got his name, but I was kind of proud of him because he was working hard at his family's restaurant. I ordered probably something bigger than I could eat because I had to take leftovers home, but it was really a tasty meal, and they're coming out with more chips and salsa without being asked, probably didn't help as well as a second lemonade. It's really impressive when you have a well oiled machine and it appeared to me that the people that worked there seem to be happy so that's always a good sign of good management. Several years back, I worked in the restaurant industry doing maintenance and repairs so I went to a lot of different restaurants and saw a lot of things so I know what to look for. I'm definitely gonna come back when my brother and his wife come up from the Bay Area my friend Ivan he'll wanna go there for lunch or dinner I know. He's kind of a picky eater and was born in Mexico, but I think he'll be impressed with this place.
