Coworkers and I walked over to the Cafe for Lunch and sat outside. The inside was very warm in a t-shirt. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. When you ask for a burrito bowl you have be specific, otherwise you get a burrito with a tortilla. I ordered the Nachos. They were good. I just don't understand why you add corn to nachos. * Good selection of salsas, but they need to get better serving spoons! ** I asked for water and they gave me a glass with ice from the checking area vault versus letting me get a Togo cup to use with the water/soda dispenser machine. Very odd. read more

My sons loved their shrimp burritos which was on a sweeter side and I love their salsa bar. Food and staff were/are amazing. Restaurant was clean and very organized. read more

We had dinner this restaurant and came away unimpressed. A good example of poor inattentive store management is cleanliness. Looking up to the ceiling return air vents ....it was a grease caked mess. Why management doesn't care to keep the place spotless is beyond us. Get a ladder and do a thorough cleaning of all air vents. The place has been open about 30 years and its decor looks like a restaurant out of another era. Needs a remodel badly along with that thorough cleaning. No lack of labor here, about eight young men were just hanging out in the kitchen. Each had long hair not well kept and no hair coverings. Next time we ought to drive to Chipotle with better food and cleanliness. read more

We love Dos Coyotes for lunch, especially after a bike ride on the trail. They have plenty of seating inside plus a beautiful little outdoor patio. I love their huge salads, especially the Adobe Salad. They don't skimp on the guacamole and I love the crunchy bites of jicama throughout. Tacos and burritos are always good too. They have delicious carnitas and chicken and the tortillas always taste fresh. Definitely check out the daily specials too - last time my husband had a road runner sandwich (not roadrunner, chicken) and I thought he was crazy to get a sandwich at Dos but he said it was outstanding and it came with yummy chips. The salsa bar is closed due to COVID but they will give you whatever salsa you like at the bar. Staff is always friendly and helpful and keeps us coming back. read more

Please clear the tables outside. It's a nice outdoor patio but marred when there are lots of empty tables piled high with dirty dishes. Kind of gross. read more

My favorite dish is the Coyote Bowl. Today I got the Mahi Mahi with just lettuce with pico de gallo cause of my new keto lifestyle. The cashier was very friendly and was attentive to my diet restrictions. The atmosphere was casual You have the option of eating inside or outside. It took a while to get my order about 20 minutes. My friend had already finished her dinner by the time I had gotten mine. I had to ask that Pastor if he could check on my order. He said that it was taking a while because of the mahi-mahi needed to be cooked. It was that nice clean restaurant and food was mediocre but edible. read more

Food was bland, chicken was fresh, it tasted like chicken thigh meat. Plenty of beans and rice in the burrito to fill up on though. Chips were greasy and not good at all. This place needs some improvement with the ordering system too. Put the menu where people in line can see it and decide what they want before stepping in front of the register?!? Would definitely speed up the huge line read more

Waited at the cash register for 10 mins and ultimately decided to not order because I had all that time to observe the cooks touching the food with their bare hands then running their fingers through their hair and touching the dirty ordering screens. Apparently they don't own gloves. Manager didn't seem to care either. read more

We have dined both indoors and with take-out at Dos Coyotes for years, never with a complaint. Today however was a complete reversal of fortune. A favorite dish of ours is the Green Chili Stew that we order multiple times over winter. Upon returning home for our meal of two bowls of Green Chili Stew with a bill of $24 we find that the stew consists of a lot of liquid, but very small quantities of chicken or potato. It was as if the stew was skimmed off of the top of the stew pot with the dispensing spoon never making it to the chicken or potatoes and other fulfilling ingredients. Tasty water is one thing, but this does not constitute a meal. Nor are these two bowls worth a $24 tab. Needless to say, we are quite disappointed and wondering what we're going to find in the cupboards to eat for dinner. Disenchanted with Dos Coyotes read more

This went from being a bad experience to me going to the Elk Grove location every month. The food is always fresh and the service is quick. I call in my order and by the time I show up my order is always ready. This is a great location to sit outside and eat. I am just normally on the go when I eat here. read more

Sadly, a second visit has only lowered my opinion of this particular Dos Coyotes. My meal started out well enough. My salad was delivered expeditiously and met the taste and freshness standards I've come to love in all Dos Coyotes restaurants. Things unfortunately went downhill from there. My table was very sticky and had hair on it so I asked a passing busser to wipe it down, which he did, but not without lazily grazing my plate several times as he moved it. Nevertheless, the hair remained, giving me an unappetizing view while chowing down. The wipe down left the table very wet, so I went to the napkin dispenser for napkins to clean up and found both dispensers empty and a loose bag of napkins that looked like it had been torn apart by wolves. In general, it never seems like they are prepared for the very predictable huge lunch crowds they see daily. It's a testament to the popularity of their menu. Personally, I'd much rather eat at the East Sacramento location - higher rated, much better quality of service. read more

Dos Coyotes has been a legit place to visit for at least the past 10+ years since I've visited them, across their different locations. We were in the area over the weekend and decided to stop by here to grab a bite to eat. My husband ordered their fajita burrito, which is a seasonal special. It was stuffed with sautéed summer squash, bell peppers, onions, rice, guacamole, cheese, and smoked chile cream. it also came with a chicken and seafood option, which my husband didn't get. We ordered our kids cheese quesadillas off of their kid's menu. We decided to sit outside and I have to say, the outdoor seating is beautiful. It kind of looks like a jungle with all the trees and greenery back there. It's peaceful and pretty. The food came out relatively quickly; they bring it to your table. My husband's burrito was pretty big and came with a side of house made tortilla chips. The kids' plates consisted of three pieces of cheese quesadillas, three wedges of orange slices, a few dollops of sour cream, and shredded lettuce. The total came out to $22, which wasn't bad for lunch for three people. Everyone enjoyed and finished their food. When you have kids, any place you eat at where they enjoy the food and don't complain is a major plus, since kids, especially younger ones, can be so picky with their simple palates. I really dig Dos Coyotes. Their food is consistently good and their prices won't burn a hole in your pocket. read more

I'm a HUGE fan of Dos Cayotes, I've been to all of them and I must say this location in particular is a disappointment, from the service to the quality of the food. Not sure if all restaurants use the same ingredients but every time I come here the food doesn't taste the same. It boggles my mind that people who work in the service industry lack customer service. Will I come back ? Mmmm... Not sure. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The food here is atrocious... I gave this place a last ditch effort to see if it was just as bad as a year before and shockingly it's worse! The food lacks FLAVOR & QUALITY... Mexican food has flavor.. I'm just not sure what to make of this place, overly salty, overly cooked, super greasy (dripping with oil) and overly deep fried. Upon entering, I noticed lots of available seats but most of them were dirty with no one in sight to clean them (until asked). I had to flag someone down to help clean the only four top table available. It was wiped down but still soaking wet, so I used the disposable napkins to pat dry the table myself (a moms task I thought I could get a break from tonight... was I wrong ha). Our table was sticky, food caked on chairs, just overall gross. You can tell there wasn't a dedicated busser or even a manager in sight. To sum it up!! Working in F&B for 15 years I can say one thing that rings true every time - the cleanliness of the restaurant (including the bathroom) is a HUGE indication of how clean / hygienic the staff is at handling your food. I would HIGHLY steer clear of this "dining" establishment unless you're the type of person to learn lessons the hard way ha! Honestly, anything would be a step up from this place. Such a disappointment. read more

It's basic , but always good . Never had a problem . Enjoy sitting out back with dogs then going for a walk around the Lake ! Fajita salad is great !!! Always specials - love the soup but it's too hot right now ! Fish tacos yum read more

Service here has always been fantastic!! Especially since my dietary needs in now being GF (gluten free) they have been extremely helpful in explaining their menu & accommodating any changes!! Love the indoor & outdoor seating! The food is always fresh & I love the array of salsa choices!! Ive tried many dishes and the Shrimp Tacos are by far the best!! Also, always look for seasonal items!! They are unique but definitely worth the try if you don't have any dietary restrictions!! Only personal down fault for me is that there isn't a location closer to me in Rancho Cordova, CA. Nonetheless, they are still definitely a got to spot to add your list!! read more

I have been going to this restaurant for yrs now. Our food of choice is the oriental salad called ying Yang. At first and for awhile the portions were generous and and we were happy. Now this Dos Coyote has cut back on their portions at half of what they were and cut back on ingredients. Now this last time we came in they informed us that the extra dressing we asked for now is going to cost us. WHAT? Its getting ridiculous whats happening here. I went to Roseville Dos Coyote and had none of these problems there. Whoever is in charge here is cutting their own throat. I will not go back to this restaurant again as they are getting greedy. read more

This location has been here a long time, and after 15 years in Folsom I finally decided to try it....boy, what a huge mistake that was. I ordered Fajita Chicken salad because I thought it would be a safe choice, how can anyone screw up a salad? Well..this place takes the cake. I deconstructed it and found six tiny slices of chicken, two half slices of bell pepper, quarter of an onion and a jalapeno? Nothing even close to what fajitas are.(picture uploaded) Then..I find that they were lazy and cut only half of the lettuce.. leaving half the salad as whole leaves of romaine. And you dare to forget avocado that is supposed to come in it? That's where I draw the line. Seriously..I don't know how this place is still in business. I wish I had something good to say..but when you screw up a salad, I'm afraid to try anything else. Don't waste your money or time here, I wish I didn't. read more

Dos Coyotes isn't what it used to be. I'm a Bay Area native but lived in Sac a few years. I would frequent Dos Coyotes for the flavorful steak meat and the green salsa that was sweet and had a little heat kick to it that was to die for, it was so good I couldn't eat my steak burrito without it. Anyway, I saw DC near the freeway on my way home and had to stop. I was excited and my mouth was set for that burrito but it didn't give what it was suppose to gave. I was so disappointed with the taste of the burrito and they changed the recipe to the sweet and spicy green salsa that now taste like crap. I'm mad asf! Ugh! read more

I love the food here, but the prices give me indigestion Staff is great, fresh ingredients.

It's my to-go food few times/mo. Meat is always fresh n grilled over a bed if fresh vegies or wrap them in a burrito.

This is one of my favorite spots for lunch! They have great standard menu items PLUS some imaginative daily specials. My wife and I have tried several different meals (burritos as well as salads) and have not been disappointed by anything. We also love the salsa bar -- it has a great selection from mild to hot. Each salsa is fresh and tasty. read more

Usually my favorite. Tonight was absolutely the worse I've ever had. Not sure why it fell short but management needs to know. Chicken in my salad was so dry, it actually crumbled, it was obviously reheated. Ordered a shrimp burrito to go for hubby, said shrimp on package but actually got a steak or pork instead, honestly he couldn't tell, I'm just glad it wasn't the chicken. read more

Hair in my shrimp burrito! Just ordered Dos Coyotes for the family dinner. My wife and I have been going to Dos Coyotes since college in the 90s dating back to UC Davis. We always love the shrimp burritos and all of the other food. Tonight, however, was a different story. Ate about 3/4 of my shrimp burrito and pulled a long what appeared to be blonde hair out of the burrito. Ended up throwing the rest of it away. Because of our loyalty to Dos, I decided to call and speak with a manager on duty. I wasn't going to ask for my money back, but rather just use it as a coaching opportunity for their staff. After being put on hold and waiting for five minutes I hung up and decided to just go ahead and post here instead. read more

With covid cases skyrocketing in our area, especially with restaurant closures due to staff getting sick, you'd think this restaurant would enforce the no-mask rule. You thought wrong. My family comes in to three individuals without masks, waiting inside. The staff says nothing. We then inquire about it, and ask the staff why they're being allowed to order inside. The staff then asked us if we were uncomfortable. Yes, we were. They then did nothing about it. They were not asked to leave. So we walked out. I'm aware that mask enforcement is required, and businesses will be fined for not enforcing this rule. We'll be inquiring with the county. Do not eat/order food from here. They're opening themselves up to become an exposure hot spot. read more

I wanted sour cream since my food comes with it but yall decided not to. I will never return without bringing my own sour cream from home.

I'm a big fan of Dos. Introduced to this place during college days, I'm so glad they have branched out from Davis! My favorite is their tostada with anasazi beans. And their salsa bar -- wow. Talk about liquid manna. I could drink that stuff up like gazpacho on a hot Spanish afternoon. One gripe is their soft drink machine. One machine, one spout - many combinations. So many in fact, that it creates a backlog of thirsty patrons who wait to get their chance to push a button to create the ultimate soft drink. Problem is that if you want plain ol' water, you also have to wait your turn in the high fructose corn syrup beverage line. Although it's right off busy Folsom Blvd, their patio area is pleasant enough. You can ride your bike this way from the bike trail if you know which exit to take. It's also conveniently located by the Folsom Outlets if you need to refuel during a shopping foray. read more

Still a 3 out of 5 unfortunately. Went there a couple weeks ago. People getting there food before us that ordered after us. Blah. But the real annoying part currently is there's no salsa bar... but you can get your own drinks...? Anyways. Now they ask you what TWO salsas you want and they are supposed to bring it to you... Ours never made it. And no, I'm not gonna get up to go request my 2 tiny salsas that were supposed to be brought to me two times earlier. I'm good on this place until it fully opens then I might give it another go. read more

We sat down to chow down... First off, $24.00 for two quesadillas is pricey. Granted there was steak in both, and they were large. The dillas had meat... But dude, wth us the cheese? I'm serious. It was s tortilla with meat. Plus, no chips. That's right. No chips. The service was fast... The server needed some training. She was perplexed as to which one of us wanted the ' dilla. Ummm we ordered exactly the same exact thing. Rocket science at its finest. Overall, good food. Just be prepared to spend restaurant money in what feels like a fast food joint. read more

Dos Coyotes Border Cafe - Steak quesadilla. Dig in!! - Mexican Near Me - Folsom, California

Not sure what this restaurant is- seems like fusion/Southwest. You order at the counter, get a number, and food is delivered tableside. They have a big salsa bar. I ordered the green Chile chicken enchiladas ($11.95). The green Chile sauce was fire-type spicy...pretty sure they added more pepper varieties to the sauce than a classic New Mexican hatch green Chile. Tasted raw, too. Ew. About 1/8 cup of chicken was present in two folded flour tortillas. Folded in half. With, granted, lots of cheese. Lord help me. Flour tortillas. I grew up in Tex-mex country, so honey, these folks do not know what they are doing. Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. Just NO. Rice as a side was white and had corn and diced peppers. No sauce. Refried beans were the best item on the plate and with a few tortilla chips that and the rice made my meal, along with a few scraps of chicken and a few shreds of lettuce as garnish. I'm not sure what they are doing here, but they're not doing it well and I have no curiosity to return and find out how fusion cuisine is faring in Folsom. read more

This place is horrible. I only go because my wife likes it. Don't go here when there are several better options for mexican food in folsom.

I remember going to Dos when I was in college. It's pretty decent Tex-Mex food. They have some interesting things on their menu. I love the burritos! The lines can seem very long during lunch, but it moves pretty quickly. The food comes out promptly as well. The only probably they may have is not enough space during busy times. My only wish is that one day they'll offer unlimited tortilla chips like most of the authentic Mexican taquerias do. Can't be that expensive to offer, right? read more

The food is good, but this location fails MISERABLY for any on-line orders. I had a business meeting, so I placed the order on-line thru the Chow Now system that Dos Coyotes uses. Showed up at the confirmed time to pick up my food and my order wasn't ready. In fact they NEVER checked the Chow Now system until I showed up, then they said "oh there it is" - duh! Had to sit around and wait for my order. Don't order on-line from this location, walk in only. read more

This was one of our favorite restaurants until we had them cater our wedding in September. Food arrived late, part of order missing, no serving utensils. A guest had to call restaurant as delivery person didn't know what to do. Following the event we had to ask twice to be refunded for the missing food. No apology from the catering department so wrote to owner, Bobby Cayote, who did not respond. Very disappointed. We no longer patronize this restaurant. read more

Fresh, flavorful, with a large variety to choose from. I opted for the Southwest burrito- perfect blend of all the good stuff! Everyone in my party loved their meal. Reasonably priced, clean with amazing service. I had the seasonal pomegranate salsa which was THE BEST!! read more

Ordering during the Pandemic trying to buy from local restaurants to keep them in business so when we return to normal they will be there. However - I expect that the food is correct and that the portions are the same. $10 for 4 overcooked taquitos, seriously? $10? And the salad was forgotten - forget that I called the restaurant and they blamed Uber - so whose issue is it? The restaurant could t get off the phone fast enough telling me it isn't his fault. Lesson learned. read more

Well Yum!! Never been here before and was so surprised, in a good way. You order at the counter then they bring your food out. Most everything is served with fresh chips and you grab your own salsa from a bar with tons of options. My bud had a salad that was big enough for two. I had grilled fish tacos. Everything was on point! Will definitely be back. read more

Food wasn't very good at all. We ordered nachos, and there was black bean sauce all over, few beans, little cheese. Flavor wasn't great. Bright spot was the salsa. Not sure that's enough to bring me back. read more
