My co-worker and I love Dos Cayotes. We have been so sad since they closed (temporarily I hope) due to Covid. I saw that they updated their hours, so we have been waiting to see if they are opening. I've tried multiple times to call, but no answer and the mailbox is full. I read somewhere that they were going to open around Oct 15 - but I don't see any confirmation of that, and they're still not answering the phone. Please let us know when you will be opening. We miss you! read more

Smokin chicken (top) and the Yolo burrito (added potatoes to it) we went crazy on the sides (picoooooo ) they're both seasonal menu items (u have to try them) I tried both and personally the Yolo was huge but actually felt light and healthy but I liked the smokin chicken more because it had a lot of flavor and had a kick to it (I love spicy)..both very delicious tho depending on ur preference. read more

Dos Coyotes Border Cafe - Smokin chicken (top) and the Yolo burrito (added potatoes to it) we went crazy on the sides - Tex-Mex Near Me - Sacramento, California

Apparently knowing management gives you perks here. Just saw the food I ordered given to someone who walked in way after me. This is NOT cool! read more

Overall the food was good, not quite delicious. I ordered the Schrimp Tacos, and the Mahi Mahi Tacos. When the plate came out I was immediately suspect. I saw what I like to call "fluff." The Mahi had tons of red cabbage, cheese, cilantro, etc. same with the Schrimp Taco, only lettuce vs red cabbage. The texture was fine, could taste fresh lime juice, and the ingredients are nicely paired. However, I was right about the fluff. Not much meat in these tacos, hence the 4 stars. Good tasty restaurant, but 2 Schrimp's doesn't cut it in a taco, nor slim mahi. (Also, the mahi was a little dry). Redeeming quality? $5 Margaritas. Still recommend, but a little disappointed. read more

My wife and I started eating at Dos Coyotes (Arden Fair) 25 years ago in the mid-nineties (circa 1996)...loved it. It became one of our favorite places to eat and hang out...lot's of great memories! Great food, great service! read more

I love Dos. Always good quality food, and nice people. I've been eating here since the mid-90s when I moved to Davis, and even though I no longer live in Davis, when we're passing through we still enjoy eating there. read more

This was a great discovery close to the Hilton! It's in the middle of a mall but the food was fantastic and very reasonably priced.

The best guacamole I've ever had! The Mahi Mahi fish taco was very yummy!!! But my favorite was the Shrimp taco. Simply delicious!!!!!! The staff was nice and friendly. The restaurant is casual and colorful. read more

Love the char-broiled taste of the chicken. Great generous salads. It is southwestern cuisine in a very casual setting. They have a poster art contest now. This contest is NOT for the serious artist since you give up rights to the artwork you submit - (even if you lose!) I guess this is the cheapest way to get a t-shirt design. But it's fun for the kids. read more

I live in Oklahoma City and every time I visit my family in Sacramento I always eat at Dos Coyotes 2 or 3 times while I'm in town. My favorites are the shrimp tacos and shrimp burritos! read more

So we tried this place again- not sure why! Another disappointment! I realize it's Friday before 7pm- but these workers just don't care! Told the guy TWICE well done- got pink meat. With a side of brown guacamole. The salsa bar was half empty and dirty. But the cherry on top- would have to be the malfunctioning soap dispenser in the women's restroom- isn't that a health code violation! Give me a break!! I realize that food costs have increased for restaurants- but when I pay $10 for nachos- I expect a decent size plate! When the guy brought over the plate- I thought he made a mistake by bringing a quesadilla due to the short nature of the food item! Nope- it was my sad plate of nachos! This place is a rip off! Another case of "resting on laurels"- used to love it, but not coming back! There are better places in which the owners actually care about their product! read more

I usually come here just for their gigantic, Texas-sized salads. They can easily feed 2 people. I highly recommend the Adobe (chicken) salad, which comes with good portions of sour cream and guacamole. It's delicious, and easy to eat. This is one of the best meals for 2 that you can get under $10. The Yucatan Chicken salad is also good, but don't try finishing this by yourself. The salad chips scratched my tongue, and after thirty minutes of eating, I had blisters on them. Do try their sweet pico de gallo. I could eat a cup of it by itself. Their sweet, green salsa is also exceptional. Lastly, service here is really friendly, and it does seem like they always take an extra step to make you feel comfortable. read more

Friendly atmosphere. Good steak nacho. Will come back here soon whenever I'm in the area.

Wow, this place has been around for awhile. By that I mean, this location specifically! I remember eating here a little over 15 years ago. It is still there! I came here recently to buy a gift certificate for someone, and the person who helped me asked if I needed help right away! She helped me purchase the gift certificate and gave me a envelope for it! Really fast! Oh wow! read more

I ordered the shrimp burrito. The food was good. Service was good. Salsas were on point like usual. Really wish they had more seating. Biggest complaint was that the floors were super sticky. I'll be going back. read more

This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Although I prefer their original location in North Davis, you can totally appreciate them branching out and putting a location in the Arden Fair mall even though it is a bit small. The best Tex-Mex I have ever had. This is easily one of the better places to eat in Davis (or the Sacramento area). While I was in school, I came here at least once a week. Since graduating, whenever I visit, no trip to Davis is complete without eating here at least once. They use the best steak ever in their burritos. So clearly, a steak burrito is a good option if on your first visit. However, I love their paella burrito, which is what I normally order due to its combination of prawns, mahi mahi, and chicken sausage. If with friends, ordering their steak topped nachos is a wonderful selection. Their chicken caesar salad is decent "healthier" option. You really cannot go wrong here. Well, unless you are allergic to awesome! read more

Salmon burrito . . . helloooo lover! I know. Salmon burritos sound as wrong as salmon tacos from a taco truck. But if loving this wonderful burrito is wrong, I don't wanna be right. read more

What can I say about Dos Coyotes, well first of all it has a great location, right by a Barnes & Noble Book Store, a movie theatre, some great shopping spots, so that alone makes this eatery pretty great. The food is actually pretty good, served nice & hot, love the big selection of salsas, that's my favorite part! It also has a super cool soda machine, but too bad I don't drink soda! Service is quick, you are in and out of there quickly, which is a plus, if your going to catch a movie, right next door. Parking is no problem, as there's a huge parking lot at the mall. Would recommend, and will return. read more

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

I got the veggie southwestern burrito and added chicken. Apparently, I get the "Chicken Border Burrito". The guy told me it's the same thing as the veggie southwestern + chicken. Why the hell do they have a million names for things? Oh well. It's my new fave. Service was fast, they delivered a fairly standard looking burrito and side of chips to the bar where I was sitting reading my nerdy sci fi book, and I barely even looked at it before I bit into it except to squirt it with a lime wedgie and blop some salsa on it. OH MY GOD. it was SOOOOO GOOOOOD. Very flavorful; chicken is cumin/oregano grilled and chopped, the beans are black. I usually go to Pluto's for a Big Huge Salad and sit at THEIR bar... Sadly, these are both chains. But they are my secret favorite chains. Now I have TWO places near work where I can sit, eat, and read my nerdy sci fi. read more

Dos Coyotes is always consistent with the quality of their food! I am never disappointed when I come here. The service is fast, friendly and their burritos are nothing like I've experienced before. I always get their salmon burrito or steak border burrito. The salmon burrito is packed with layers of flavors and the salmon is moist and juicy! It's almost as if I were biting into a warm sushi roll! The texture of the salmon is soft and just falls apart upon the first bite. They add this creamy pink sauce into the burrito that is just to die for! I love to pile my salmon burrito with lemon juice and Dos' famous sweet, green salsa. I swear I can drink that salsa because it's so darn good. If I'm the mood for something meatier, I order the steak border burrito. It's piled with chunks of delicious savory steak, beans, rice, lots of sour cream and avocado. YUM!! read more

Oh Dos Coyotes' seasonal roasted corn quesadilla, with sweet summer corn nestled in gooey melted cheese... I burn for you. I live for you. You brighten my summers that much more with your presence. Please keep coming back every year, I'll be happily waiting for you at one of the shiny copper tables. read more

Dos Coyotes Border Cafe - seasonal(summer) Roasted Corn Quesadilla - Tex-Mex Near Me - Sacramento, California

After a quick visit to Dos Coyotes today, I feel that an increase in rating is warranted. Here are the reasons: -Helpful, efficient staff. They hire a lot of people and the food comes out fast. -Fresh, crunchy chips. -Self-serve salsa bar has great variety and the salsas are full-flavored. -Coca-Cola soda dispenser has probably ~150 options. My boyfriend and I were quite excited about this and tried out: lime coke zero, vanilla coke zero, lemon coke zero, strawberry minute maid light lemonade, peach sprite zero, lime power add zero, and fruit punch fanta zero. Ill be back to try the food soon. read more

when I think mexican I think nitty gritty food, the guy who took my order barely understands english and his spanish is so quick I dont understand his but somehow my order is right because of this bond of food we had shared.... I def dont get that there. BUT hey this place has decent food... will it be my first choice for mex? nope... but what they lack in authentic they make up in food taste... once went to el toledo for dinner and this place was better... PRICE - this is almost a dealbreakerrr!!! im so used to cheap quality mex so when I pull out the wallet to pay over 8 dollars for some beans and steak it kinda rubs me funny... not in the good wayy... whatever this place is fine if you are looking at this review on ur mobile and want a place to eat this aint bad! pro tip - their NACHOS are greatttttt i think the santa fe one is better then the other plain jane one! read more

I haven't been to this location in ten or so years. It's been too long. I always love ordering off of their specials menu. I usually get a quesadilla to share with someone, and a regular plate. The food is always fresh, and fresh tasting. Plates are put together well, and not just presentation, but flavors. I enjoyed a special quesadilla and a wet burrito...sooo good. This place gets pretty crowded at lunch. I'm not sure if it's the same busy as it used to be, but it used to get crazy crowded at lunch and on Sundays after everyone got out of church. Still seems to be going strong after all these years. read more

Dos Coyotes is one of my routine places to go for Mexi-Cali food. I can easily come here several times a month. Their Chicken Quesadilla and Seafood Burritos are one of the best! All the food is fresh and I've never had a problem with anything I've ordered. They train the staff well and they're friendly too. The prices are average for a sit down restaurant but the proportions are larger than expected and you get what you paid for. read more

Been coming to Dos Coyotes to years and they are pretty consistent. The salads are huge but I think the quesadilla and Ranchero burrito is where it's at. The food comes out pretty fast and they have a salsa bar. Overall, always a good experience. read more

I am confused by the pseudo-restaurant front for a mall food court establishment. If there isn't any seating "inside" then you can sit "outside" - which is still inside the mall? Order at the counter and give them your name, then they wander about the whole food court aimlessly calling out for you when you were sitting "inside" the whole time. On the other hand, the food is good for Tex-Mex. I had the Yucatan salad, although I thought the dressing from the Lite version tasted better. Unlimited drink refills is a plus for mall dining, however it isn't surprising given their restaurant vibe. I agree that the Davis location is better in all aspects. However, Dos is the best mall food I've had. read more

I have to preface saying I love Dos Coyotes in general. But I recommend not eating at this location if you're a strict vegan/vegetarian or have allergies. I ordered a veggie only salad online, but got my order with chicken. No worries, they fixed it and were really polite. But once I got halfway done with my salad, I saw a huge piece of chicken sitting there. So obviously they did not remake my food, they just picked the chicken out. I just don't like meat, so it didn't ruin my whole meal. But I know many strict vegetarians or those with allergies who would be really affected if they don't take the time to remake wrong orders. read more

This location has very good food and terrific staff. The amount of food you get for the price is a real eye opening and I have always had a hard time finishing it--and not for lack of trying! My fave is the chicken burrito bowl. Tons of juicy chicken, rice, beans and guacamole, make this choice a winner. Wash it down with some refreshing iced tea and you will sit up and smile. A great choice for lunch or dinner! read more

My coworker suggested this place for lunch today as he had a few errands to run at Arden Faire. I had the chicken enchilada plate with rice and beans. It was good and cheesy. Beans were good but the rice had no flavor. My coworker had the Border burrito. Big a$$ burrito! He swears by the green salsa and tried to get me to try some. There was cilantro in it. Uhh...no thanks! (YES! I'm a Mexican that does not like cilantro!) read more

I came here for dinner on weekday, and the place was pretty dead. This should have meant faster service, but I still had to wait quite a while before I could order. I ordered the salmon burrito, which was delicious. It was cooked perfectly, and the flavor was good. Sometimes, fish can get dry if it's not cooked right, but it was still moist. I loved how it was somewhat simple and I could add whatever salsa I wanted when I ate it. The salsa bar was pretty nice. I like how they have plastic to-go containers so you don't make a mess with the open paper containers. It's arranged from mild to hot salsas. My favorite is the green, creamy looking one. One thing that seemed off was that my order was "To Go," but the drink was given to me in a glass cup. I would think that to go order got a paper cup? I was eating in the Market Square anyways, so it wasn't too inconvenient, but this would have been bad if I wasn't able to stay near the restaurant. read more

With a car-less crew from the conference I was attending at the Doubletree (just down the street), I walked into Dos Coyotes with pretty minimal expectations. We were, after all, in the mall and I tend to be a snob about mall food. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a much more extensive and nuanced menu than anticipated. I ordered one of the specials, a quasadilla made with chicken, apple, caramelized onions, and a touch of maple. Really interesting flavors! The portions were generous, to say the least; even the hungriest among us left some on the plate. A couple people complained that their food was too bland, but it was pointed out that there was a wide array of salsas and sauces that one could add at will. Certainly not haute cuisine, but an excellent option for hungry mall- and hotel-goers. read more

I've been here a few times and I've had only like 3 different things off their menu. There food is pretty good even though it doesn't really taste like authentic Mexican food. There salsas are pretty good. This place is probably the best place to eat when at Arden fair. read more

After having a hell of a time finding this place (it's in the mall, not outside, we discovered after a lot of "I don't see it" comments,) I was ready to eat anything. As a Chipotle girl, I was open but skeptical of another casual Mexican-American restaurant. On a Saturday night, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, they were..out of water, out of chilled glasses, and out of a LOT of beer. Like, over half their list was m.i.a. But the staff was nice, the service was pretty speedy and I feel in love with my shrimp burrito. It was damn tasty. Had a big group and lost track of time. The restaurant had closed and we were still able to sit and have a great time without any "can you please leave?" looks from the staff. Would I be back? Sure. And hopefully they'll restock that beer selection (and water) when I do. read more

I've never been disappointed with Dos Coyotes-- the food is consistently good... decent prices... with a rather creative menu and specials. You can eat in the restaurant dining area or out in the food court area if you like. On your way in, you'll see the specials menu board-- often they'll have a special quesadilla which is good for me since I love their quesadillas :) My favorites on the regular menu are the Roasted Garlic & Spinach Quesadilla with chicken (Served with cilantro aioli) and the Adobe Salad (Mixed salad, corn, jicama, red onion, black beans, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream & guacamole, served on a warm flour tortilla with Southwestern vinaigrette). The salad is huge and is available with steak, chicken, or shrimp. They serve a variety of beverages, juices in addition to ye olde standards. Beer and wine also. read more

Awful! This was one of theeeee worst dinning experiences i have had in a long time. When we walked in we felt rushed to order as the staff just stared at us, then when we sat in the dinning area OMG, diiiiisgusting! There were very few tables that were clean, the soda/salsa area was soo gross and not stocked then there were NATS flying around the whole time landing on us and our drinks..we should have asked for a refund right then and walked out but it was getting late and we just wanted to eat. The food was cold but the plates were scolding hot and everything lacked flavor. Never again will we ever eat here and we urge you to not either! If they have a NAT infestation in the dining area i can only imagine what the back looks like. I didnt even want to chance using the bathroom. After a few bits we tossed our food and left read more

Absolutely amazingly convenient super delicious food an absolutely amazing service we were served by a guy named Michael !!! Absolutely stellar customer service he made everything very easy seeing it was our first time we absolutely will be back and we love the salsa bar and the layed back feel of the whole restaurant great job you guys are doing here read more

First time at this location. It was pretty packed for a Friday afternoon but it's located in the Arden mall lot so it's always busy. The service was actually better than I thought it would be. The staff was friendly and I like how they bring the dishes to you if you eat in. I had the mahi mahi burrito for the first time also. It was surprisingly light and delicious! The fish was oh so tender. Finished the whole thing! *oink oink* The lime and green mild salsa goes well with this burrito. When I frequent other Dos locations I usually have the border burrito. with chicken. It's a great combination of flavors in your mouth. Tasty! The chips and salsas are good too. There's a good variety of the salsa to choose from and the chips are light but have a good crunch at the same time. Not bad for a chain Mexican place I say. Try it! read more

I absolutely LoVE this place. Shrimp burrito is amazing! I really haven't had anything else here and don't plan on it. Great selection of salsas, friendly staff and good prices! The decor is also cool. One of my favorite places in Sac. I always come here when I visit. Highly recommended! read more
