    Chicken tacos à la carte
    Jesse B.

    Fast service and decent food for a casino restaurant. If you want something faster than a nice restaurant but something g slower than fast food it's a good choice . The service is good and there's lots of seating

    Beef ranchero, enchiladas, and nacho guacamole, which is an extra Spanish rice yummy yummy

    Ordered the Mahi Mahi Burrito with chips and it was okay. You can barely see the fish inside the burrito. It was mostly rice. Chips on the side were stale so I asked for another tray of chips which they obliged. Servers were really very nice and accommodating. The restaurant didn't have a lot of people, considering it was a Sunday night.

    Crunchy beef tacos with rice and beans
    Natanya G.

    Came to Thunder Valley for a concert with my daughter. Decided to try Dos Coyotes before the concert started. Everyone was friendly behind the counter. Loved the menu choices. Plenty of seating. The staff who brought out the meals were great, too! High quality food. Everyone else's orders that were being brought to them looks so good, too! I'm not a huge rice fan, however, their rice was delicious!! Definitely will come back.

    Taco salad LOADED with corn not listed on the menu.

    Ordered mahi-mahi tacos and a taco salad. The mahi-mahi tacos had about 1/4 oz of fish on them, then were loaded with mango and coleslaw. There was no way to taste the fish. The taco salad came with ingredients not listed on the menu. First time it came loaded with olives (not my thing- if I'd known they were on the salad I'd have told them to leave them off - but they're not listed in the ingredients). The second time it came loaded with cold corn kernels (also not listed, and not my favorite thing) which also was not on the first one that had olives in it. I was starting to feel like a Karen at this point so I picked around the corn to get the other stuff. The shell was stale and inedible. Counter service: I had a two-for-one coupon, and plenty of casino comps. I handed both to the cashier. First she says it's $40-something. Then she says it's $20-something because she forgot the 2-for-1. Finally she says "oh wait, yeah, the comps. Yeah it's free". When I returned with the olive salad she immediately announced that I wanted to talk to the manager. I did not. I just asked if they would remake it without the surprise olives. Very disappointing. Should have gone to the food court.

    Seafood burrito
    Annabelle R.

    This eatery is located along the right side, next to Peet's Coffee, if entering the Thunder Valley lobby and casino from the parking garage. This place easily beats all the food court offerings and is more affordable and better value than some of the other fancier restaurants on site. Got a seafood burrito with both charbroiled shrimp and mahi mahi fish which had a somewhat sweet marinade, minus the guac, and I was lovin it! Flavorful fish, succulent shrimp... it was simply mmm mmm good. My friend had the navajo nachos with chicken, also without the guac, and it was a generous plate full of crunchy tortilla chips and melted cheese. I tried some, and it was yummy. They definitely serve some delicious bites here. Add to that a clean, casual, and inviting setting (with seating that filled up in the evening on concert day), helpful and professional staff, and an extensive menu that has something for everyone, this is my top choice for having a meal at Thunder Valley.

    Green chili stew is back!!

    I like Dos im general But this one's located in the Thunder valley casino and not as good as a regular standalone because they do not have the Salsa Bar. I see why as you don't want non-paying customers digging into it which is fine if they didn't charge you .50 cents extra per cup beyond your two free. I thought they charged more than the regular but found it was minimal. A steak burrito here is $15.50 vs 14.50. The service staff in general has been friendly. There is table seating and the restaurant is fairly big. It is a nice alternative for a quick bite vs. the food court IF you can catch them when they are open. VERY limited hours! I wanted to have lunch there on a Saturday only to find that they don't open until 4pm! You'd think they would be open all day on the weekends! but they are not. Food quality is the same as any other Dos.

    Chips & salsa

    This restaurant is located in the Thunder Valley Casino. We come to the casino often to keep my elderly father entertained. Most of the time we come early in the day and work up an appetite, but many of the eateries aren't open until 4:00pm. This time we made a point of staying longer so we could eat at Dos Coyotes Border Cafe. They actually have several menu selections that my sister can eat that won't give her a food allergy reaction. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, (such as corn tortillas) for the dietary restricted. I ordered the roasted garlic & spinach quesadilla with a root beer, my sister got the Tres Taco Basket: 3 tacos, no meat, rice & black beans. My dad and brother-in law each got the Taco El Carbon: Two soft tacos with choice of meat, lettuce & cheese. We all shared chips and salsa. Everyone enjoyed their dinners and commented that these franchises always have a dependable, varied menu selection in which the food is consistently good. We will be returning here again for dinner, (unless the slot machines take all of our money)!

    The burrito was very good

We couldn't leave without sharing dessert, so we got the Lemon Cheesecake (Lemon Curd, Raspberry Butter Crust, Chantilly Cream, and Raspberry Sauce). With just the right balance of sweet and tangy. If you're looking for great service and awesome food in Lincoln, this is definitely the spot. We'll be back again soon.

    5/5 Stars -- Exceptional Steakhouse Experience…read more Date: February 13, 2026 Location: High Steaks Steakhouse -- Thunder Valley Casino Resort, 1200 Athens Ave, Lincoln, CA We had an absolutely wonderful dinner here and it started the moment we sat down. They brought out a beautiful assortment of complimentary fresh breads, which immediately set the tone that this place pays attention to details. I began with a Tanqueray martini ($15.50) -- perfectly chilled, properly balanced, and definitely not skimpy. We also ordered a bottle of Avissi Prosecco ($52.00) that we enjoyed throughout the meal. For starters we shared a half chopped salad ($11.00) and a French onion soup ($19.00). The soup was outstanding -- rich broth, great onion flavor, and perfectly melted cheese. Then, unexpectedly, our server brought a complimentary Gouda cheese appetizer, which was a really nice touch. For the main course we split a 12 oz filet mignon ($71.00) cooked medium rare. It came out slightly closer to medium than requested -- the only small knock I can give -- but it was still tender and delicious. What impressed me most was they thoughtfully split the steak before cooking and plated it on two separate dishes with garnish, making it feel like two full entrees rather than sharing. Just when we thought the night was over, they surprised us with complimentary salted caramel chocolates for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish. Total: $175.82 including tax From the service to the extras to the presentation, this was a classy and memorable dining experience. Attention to hospitality like this is rare -- we'll absolutely be back next time we're at Thunder Valley.

It's a very modern, small restaurant, and the bar seating is definitely the focal point of the space, though the overall vibe felt a little cold with minimal decoration. I'd love to come back to try their full omakase experience eventually, but the service was a real letdown. Even though we were the only two people in the restaurant most of the time, we felt like an inconvenience. At one point, I said out loud that we were ready to order; the staff including our waitress stopped for a second, looked at us, and then just went back to what they were doing without acknowledging us. It was as if we were on her time, and she was making it clear that she would get to us when she felt like it, not when we were ready. The wait for food was also way too long. Despite being the only ones there, I waited about 40 minutes for my ceviche mixto bowl ($22). For a raw dish that requires no actual cooking, that kind of delay in such a small space is hard to justify. We also had the broiled oysters ($15) and oyster shooters ($5), which were solid. I noticed the drink menu didn't have many sweet cocktail options, so I asked if they could make me a lemon drop instead; and they granted the request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The food and drinks are great, but the service and kitchen speed really need to be more attentive to match the quality of the menu.
