    Steady crowd on a Wednesday for lunch. Parking was easy. Greeted upon arrival. Ordered at the countered, grabbed a number, water cups, and chips. Dining room has tall ceilings, open and airy. Salsa bar was plentiful and clean. We tried the chicken fajitas. Food arrived shortly after we sat down at a table. It came with side of beans, chose black beans. They were surprisingly good. It had enough salt and rich flavor. Tortillas were warm and soft. Veggies were cooked well, not overcooked. I liked the crispness of the rice that came on the sizzling plate with the fajitas. Overall, plate was delicious. The staff worked well together. Management worked alongside server staff. Staff thanked us upon leaving too. Don't see that much these days. You can save 6% with Upside app. Will be back!

    Chamayo quesadilla (missing a slice because I ate before taking a photo )
    Linda D.

    I've been frequenting Dos Coyotes for a number of years now and they have been my go-to for when I need a hearty, filling meal. I used to live closer and went often but I don't live as close anymore. My usual staples are their adobe salad, shrimp burrito, and their paella burrito. And their salsa bar is always good. I love their green salsa the best which is located near their mild pico de gallo. It's a sweet green salsa with added fresh crunchy purple onions. Simply delectable. Last night, I decided to venture away from my norm and tried their Chamayo quesadilla. It's a charbroiled chicken with honey chipotle bbq sauce and cheese. Comes with a side of mango salsa and a bit of greens. I grabbed the spicy pico to add to my quesadilla. I was a bit on the fence before ordering but decided to go with it and I'm happy I did. Sweet bbq sauce with chicken, chipotle dipping sauce and the added spicy pico was the perfect combo. A bit of sweetness with added savoriness. The only thing I can comment on is that the quesadilla was soggy on the bottom. The top was crispy. I think it was soggy from the heat, removed from the grill, to the plate which added to the mess while I was devouring my plate. It's alright though, the quesadilla was worth it. Some cons to note. My soda from the dispenser was THE most watered down coke I've ever gotten from a soda dispenser. It's as if the soda was pre-diluted. Also, I would like it if the music was turned down a notch & the cashier slows down when speaking. It's almost impossible to hear the cashier above the music and feels like they're speaking a mile a minute. I was able to ask the cashier to repeat what he said for a second time but didn't want to look like a fool and hold up the line & ask again for the 3rd time. So I went with what I thought he asked which was "glass or paper cup" for my soda and chose glass. I heard right and didn't feel like an idiot. Despite the cons, I will still frequent Dos for their specials they offer from time to time. They offer some unique creations and sometimes bring back the favorites while also ordering my staples. Maybe next time, I'll skip the in person ordering and go for online.

    Got the mahi mahi burrito and it was okay. Tastes good but the fish portions were really small. Chips were hot and fresh. Service was okay. The place looked empty when I went there. Might have to try something different next time.

    I chose Dos Coyotes for one of my choices forExplore Elk Grove Diversity dining week. As a result, I only had 3 specials to choose from. One was a chicken sandwich, but since it is a restaurant specializing in Mexican food, I chose the beef quesadillas with corn salsa. If I had a choice, I would've chosen off the menu, and cancelled participating in the explore Elk Grove program. Part of the program included a taco, but i didn't know whether it was ground chicken or beef. I liked the taco a lot, with the authentic crunchy taco shell, and generous amount of meat , and topped with both, shredded and cojita cheese topping. I did not like the quesadilla. It was filled with a little beef, a little cheese and half filled with hard corn kernels, and even a few pieces of potato cubes that didn't seem cooked all the way through. The corn didn't seem to fit and changed the flavor of what I expected in a quesadillas, so I would not ever have that again. I plan to order off the regular menu the next time. The manager was on duty and is super nice and helpful, so I would definitely go back and order the tacos!

    Veggie fajita plate.  Perfectly al dente!  Comes with side plate of beans and guacamole.

    This is my go-to when I come to the city. The food is always excellent! I love their menu: Tex-Cali-Mex inspired. Food tastes fresh and homemade. Their staff always is above and beyond friendly and helpful. I have food allergies which often make me avoid eating out as it's embarrassing to ask about every little thing on the menu. The managers here are well informed about food tolerance issues and always helpful in finding something appropriate. The pricing is more like fast food but with a sit down atmosphere and real plates and nice heavy glasses for their margaritas. Fun decor. Overall this place is a gem!

    Dos Coyotes continues to serve fresh, delicious burritos, enchiladas, salads, and seasonal dishes. I love that they haven't changed much over the years, especially their salsa bar! Sure, prices are higher but that's everywhere.

    I haven't been here for years. I used to come here for lunch after soccer. I usually go to my usual spot when I wanted Mexican. But today was a Friday and my usual spot was busy too on a Friday the weekendyou know . I was craving for a burrito and thought to come here. I went with my family and we ordered the border burrito and enchiladas, both were good. It satisfied my craving. It also came with chips. They have a salsa bar in the restaurant. The food wasn't bad. The staff are nice. We would come again.

    I haven't been here for years. I used to come here for lunch after tennis. Then my daughter started eating here with her friends in high school. I usually go to my usual spot when I wanted Mexican. But today was a Monday and my usual spot is closed on a Monday. I was craving for a burrito and thought to come here. I ordered the border burrito and I requested to cut it in half. I only usually eat half a burrito and bring the other half home. The burrito was good. It satisfied my craving. It also came with chips. They have a salsa bar in the restaurant. My husband ordered the same thing, but in a bowl instead of a tortilla. The food wasn't bad. The staff are nice. I would come again.

    Yukatan salad and Yolo burrito missing chips and missing tortilla
    Valerie P.

    We did a take out order and when we got home and got our food we were missing items. We ordered a burrito that comes with chips and we didn't have our bag of chips. And the salad we got the tortilla on the side and it wasn't there. By the time we saw it, it was too late to calm the restaurant or even too far and too late to take it back if they were even still open. So disappointed with the missing foods especially because this is not the first or even second time this has happened at this location. Have not been here for while because our orders would be wrong and thought let's give it a try again and of course order was wrong again.

Decor is beautiful and clean. Went during a lunch rush. There wasn't much service besides being handed your food, you're not checked on and you clean up after yourself. Dispose of plates into garbage bin and plates into the bin ontop. It was difficult to get to go boxes or extra limes. I got the quesabirria tacos. The meat was bland and so was the dipping broth. I was expecting a blast of flavors and spices in my mouth, but that never happened. I got 1 lime with this order of 3 tacos. 6/10 because it was crispy on one side more so than the other and it was packed with meat and onion. This seriously Lacked flavor. My friend got 3 tacos, asada and al pastor. I tried a bite of each, and the flavor was also lacking there. 3 tacos came with 1 lime. Their rice was very dry. Hard to swallow. 1/10. Fries were decent. My husband got their asada torta. 5/10. It was lacking flavor and the bread was just not good. The veggies in the torta were just not elevating the dish either. Not served with any sauces to go, so ask for it before you leave the restaurant.

My mom came up to the counter with our order already written down and ready. The clerk told her she needed to step aside because our order would "take too long." My mom did as she was told and stepped aside, and the clerk helped two other customers. When my boyfriend and I came up to the counter behind those customers, my mom asked if she could place the order now since she had already stepped aside and waited. The clerk responded, "I need to take their money first." We explained that we were with her and that she had already waited while those customers were helped. Instead of helping us next, the clerk then said she needed to help everyone else behind us before helping us, which made absolutely no sense. The line could have continued growing and we would never actually be helped. When we asked to speak to a manager, we were told to step aside again and wait another 10 minutes. The way we were spoken to was extremely disrespectful, especially toward my mom. We came ready to place a large catering order and were prepared to spend hundreds of dollars for our son's first birthday. Unfortunately, we never even got the chance because the staff refused to take our order. If this is how customers are treated, I can't recommend this place. I will definitely be sharing this experience with others and telling them not to come here.

The person working the cash register was friendly and took our order quickly. My food came out in what felt like 5 minutes and tasted great. The price of my meal came out to a little more than what it would've been at Chipotle, but the generous helping of guac and edible bowl with a soft crunch I feel brings more value than the difference. I would say the freshness of the ingredients and their quality maybe be slightly under what I'm used to at other establishments, but combined the salad still delivered and I was definitely feeling full after eating everything and three quarters of the actual bowl. Access to an unlimited salsa bar and unlimited chips is also a great touch. The tables and chairs could've been a bit cleaner, but it wasn't egregious or anything.

I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food!
