There is both indoor seating and outdoor seating and it's located on the cutest street. The fish and shrimp tacos were great and filling, topped with so much crunchy cabbage, hiding the protein, but it was there. The flautas were delicious and the steak tacos had big, juicy bites of steak. The guac was weak (not an order but what came with flautas). It was more of a thick avocado salsa. Props to the great beer options - with some local varieties from Davis. We went when school was out for summer and it was still quite busy for dinner. I imagine during school days, it's packed. I see why this is on so many of the Yelp top places to eat: it's a great value with large portions and good eats.

The food was delish; my friends had mentioned they were going to eat here before going to Ikeda's…read morelater so our other friend and I joined them since I'd heard good things! I loved the quesabirria taco, which came with consommé and my Aggie taco was ok. The Aggie had so much cabbage my friend asked me if there was any fish inside. I assured her there was but it did take me about 4 bites before I found my way to it. Otherwise, everything was tasty! The blue corn tortilla on the Aggie taco was a nice touch since it's one of UC Davis' school colors. The service was great; everyone was friendly and I liked that they cleared away our empty plates often. I also love that they have a complimentary chips and salsa bar. This place is obviously popular- the turnover time was fast and still more people were coming through the door when we left. Thanks and I'm looking forward to returning for brunch!

This is still my favorite Mexican restaurant in Yolo County. Probably one of my favorites anywhere…read more I almost always go here to treat myself after a blood donation (plus other times, as well). I usually have the regular asada burrito with black beans, and enjoy it with their roasted habanero salsa and escabeche. Today, though, I decided to mix it up a bit with two goat quesabirria tacos (still with habanero salsa, don't worry) and consommé. So delicious! The people working there are always friendly, even though they are always swamped (which is a fantastic sign). They are also still quick. Casual, of course.

I met a relative for lunch today and she suggested going to Maya in Davis. I don't know if this is…read morethe same family of Maya Restaurants that are located in Sacramento, but if so I have been to the one located near Richards Boulevard in Sacramento and really like it. This building in Davis sits on a corner and is hot pink, so you can't miss it. They have outdoor, covered seating that was very enjoyable with today's great weather. My favorite thing about lunch today (5/7/26) was the service. The food was good, but the service was excellent. Upon arrival, my first time here I peered into the interior of the restaurant to see if my relative had arrived. I was immediately greeted by a very nice young man behind the counter. I exited the building and sat down at one of their exterior tables so my cousin could easily spot me, and the same very nice young man came out and brought me a menu to review while I was waiting for my cousin to arrive. Once she arrived, we went inside and ordered our meals, and returned to their outside seating. They have an open chips and salsa bar which was great as we waited for our meals. A short while later, another nice young man (with braids) came out to clear the table and offer drink refills. They were both very kind, accommodating and engaging. It's very nice to have great customer service from these gentlemen. We had a lovely lunch, and I would return.

TLDR: My new favorite Mexican spot. Get the Fajita plate, Al Pastor plate, or Quesabirria Tacos…read more Don't let the menu size scare you off. The menu is enormous -- I won't pretend otherwise. But don't let that stop you. The food is excellent and it's worth taking the time to figure out your order. A few dishes I'd point you toward: the Fajita plate, the Al Pastor plate, and the Quesabirria Tacos are all worth ordering. On my first visit I had what I believe is called the Milpas Salad which was great, but I don't see it on the menu anymore. Great chips and salsa bar too. Great outdoor seating for nice days, and dog-friendly. Already my go-to for Mexican food in town. Love all the artwork on the walls too.

Whenever I'm in Davis and want good solid Mexican food I stop by…read more I normally get a burrito, today it was a breakfast burrito with Chorizo, and papas. Unlike a lot of other places, this one adds beans to their breakfast burrito. You can get your choice of beans, but I was in the mood for refried which went really well with the chorizo. Service was fast, the burrito was hot, and it was sliced in half just as I asked. When I'm there closer to noon or dinner time, I'll get a carnitas super burrito. It's also really good! There's a salsa bar so you can load up on your choice salsas and chips to munch on. Overall I think this place deserves a high rating. They aren't the cheapest taqueria, but the food is solid and worth the price. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Weirdly it was another rainy day that we stopped in but we were lucky and split a table with someone. I stuck with my usual. The veggie quesadilla and the salsa bar were still what I remember of it.

Worth the stop tho, we were able to get a quick meal and back on the road after.

I got a carnitas burrito ($20) and for lunch their dishes come with a soup or salad and rice and beans. They have a classic menu of Mexican dishes and their portions are big! They also has free chips and salsa and that salsa was phenomenal. I got the soup and it was really good although a tad salty. There were veggies in it and the soup came out HOT. I also typically dont like meatballs but the meatball was yummy! The portions for the dishes are massive. Def a pretty good deal in my opinion. The burrito was delicious. The tortilla was nice and crispy and flaky, the carnitas was also crispy but not dry. I think it was just pico and carnitas in the burrito but it was so yummy! A lot of meat in the burrito. Def would come back to this spot!

Note to management Customer service is engaging with you Customer you have to assure for more to come. The food was good. The salsa bar was clean and well stocked. The ambiance clean, festive, and colorful! I come to Davis often. The UC Davis community is amazing. This establishment is in the Safeway parking lot. They can definitely take advantage of visiting the next exit up Trader Joe shopping center; where almost all of the new restaurants have developed a core sense of friendly, welcoming, and engaging hospitality with customers. Just my Tuesday two cents!

very unpleasant and horrible experience…read more I came here for breakfast and mind I traveled from far away to eat at this restaurant because it was recommended by some of my colleagues. During my visit, I experienced several uncomfortable situation with the way I was treated by the woman with her hair tied back and wearing clear-framed glasses. I assume she is in charge, given how non-chalant she seemed acting with disrespect. She was extremely rude from the very beginning. She looked unfriendly from the moment I walked in and immediately started speaking to me only in Spanish, even though I responded in English. I didn't appreciate that she assumed I spoke Spanish simply because of my appearance. She had no patience whats so ever, while taking my order. I felt completely ignored. She seemed frustrated, and every time I asked a questions, she would respond with, "Do you want anything else?" With an attitude. When she brought me my plate, I noticed that one of her long fingernails touched my food. To make matters worse, before I had even finished eating, she took my plate away . I hope this establishment takes situations like this seriously and promotes a healthy environment where respect and humility are a priority. If I ever return and experience the same treatment again, I will escalate the matter to her supervisors or the owner. This is unacceptable.

It was a decent size but I think I still prefer the burritos over at north Guads. This time I ordered asada nachos and a tamarind JARRITOS which cost me about $21.

I know Dos Coyotes does a lot of catering, but its worth checking out if the menu looks appealing to you.
