    Adobe Salad
    Tiara B.

    I should probably try something else on the menu, but the Adobe salad with chicken is by far my favorite item at Dos Coyotes! I really liked this location since it was near Arden Fair so plenty of free parking in a lot. You won't be able to see the restaurant from the outside of the building. The staff member on the phone was helpful in helping me locate the entrance. Food was delicious and there was plenty of indoor seating space.

    Menu as of 8/27/23

    Stopped in for a quick bite and the cashier suggested the Wile E's rocket Tacos & so glad I tried it. Loved it especially the sweet corn in every bite

    There is no service. Not much better than fast food, Taco Bell. Food was mediocre at best. No ambience.

    Do you want to eat somewhere that preys on all of your senses? Maybe you want food that leaves you howling for more? Perhaps this review is going to be full of terrible food puns.....who can say for sure. What I can tell you is that Dos Coyotes is food worth trying (and trying again). We have ordered a wide variety of foods from burritos, to nachos, to salad, to tacos, and all of it is toothsome. For me the California Fish Taco and the Adobe Salad are both standouts. The Jicama in the salad is such a unique and crunchy addition to the flavor profile of the salad and I love it. The Santa Fe Nachos are also fabulous. I love the use of the blue corn tortilla chips. It's a unique and nuanced departure from the normal street variety nacho. On a side note, there is a sauce included with one of the meals, it's almost like a cilantro chutney but also kind of chimichurri-esque too. I wish I knew if it was just their salsa verde or a sauce with a meal, but I could eat it with a spoon. It is magnificent. I do wish the hours were being adjusted back to pre covid, since they close fairly early. I am often not on a nine to five type schedule in life. That's my only gripe. Thank you to both of the coyotes for making this place fantastic.

    Had high hope with the good reviews. Unfortunately I left feeling ripped off and dissatisfied. Everything was SO greasy. When I pointed it out to a manger he acknowledged it was a problem and blamed corporate. I said I could not eat the food because of the Abundance of oil. He offered to bring me more. Unfortunately it was just as oily. He never came and checked on the food after he brought it knowing I had a problem. Poor costumer service.

    I haven't been to Dos Coyotes since the 90s and the last one I had been to was in Davis. Conveniently located and attached to the Arden Fair Mall. A Southwest theme with lots of seating inside. You can also sit out in the food court but you can't bring your alcohol into the food court. D1 and D2 both ordered chicken burritos that they were satisfied with. I had 2 salmon tacos and I was also very satisfied. Unlimited chips and a self service salsa bar. Very popular for take out.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while. We came into to grab lunch, there was hardly anyone in. Loved the food! Very tasty.

    The Navajo Nachos with extra sides of guac and sour cream
    Jamie S.

    My absolute favorite item on the menu is the Navajo Nachos - but I guess it has to be because I love it so much that I haven't bothered to try anything else. We all know that nachos are filling, but these go a step beyond...these nachos are HARDY. One of these days I'll branch out and actually try another menu item, but not today!

    It's 107 degrees, so where do you go out for dinner? Wife and I were in Sacramento and were to meet with wife's sister and husband. Sister suggested El Torito across the street from the Arden Mall. Only problem is that El Torito is closed, as is Elephant Bar, and wife's sister's husband is not only vegetarian, but won't eat anything made with eggs. Wife checks out Olive Garden, Black Bear Diner, and then California Kitchen, but sees an overhead mall sign and suggests Dos Coyotes. Next evening we walk from our hotel to the far end of the mall, about a mile away. No locals out walking in this oven like heat, just us tourists. We find the cheesecake factory but no Dos Coyotes. Turns out, it is in the mall itself, and not visible from the front parking lot. Fast food place right next to the movie theater complex. Big overhead menu with prices listed. 10 four seat tables, 8 seats at the counter and 11 two seat tables, so no shortage of places to sit. Tile floor, freshly painted walls, and clean but simple table tops. Food crumbs from the previous occupant on the floor -a table without a doubt with kids! Wife and I get a $10 Yucatan salad, and her sister gets a $11 salmon salad, as her husband couldn't make it. Got to take advantage of every opportunity to eat meat or fish while the vegetarian husband is gone! This is the only place where the wife and I split a dish, as we are both on the chunky side, and can almost always can finish our individual meals by ourselves. Service is prompt, with the Yucatan salad coming pronto. Huge 16" plate, heaped high with mixed greens, black beans, red onions, carrots, sliced red peppers, corn, with a light southwest vinaigrette on the side, together with thousand island dressing, and a mango salsa, all this over a flour tortilla on the bottom of the plate. 5 strips of grilled chicken. Wife goes to the self serve counter, and gets a couple of paper mini cups of grated onions, and chunky tomato salsa. We get extra plates, and split the salad. Love the mango salsa, but the southwest vinaigrette is just average, as are the strips of grilled chicken, which lacks flavor. Wife's sister gets the salmon salad, with good chunks of salmon together with the mixed green salad, mango salsa and pineapple, on a 12" plate. Her husband is a vegetarian, and raises the entire family as vegetarian, with no eggs, so whenever he's away she'll eat meat and fish. They have one of these electronic drink machines, where you point and touch your choice soft drink. So when you choose coke, there are a dozen types of different cokes. Checked out the other plates people ordered, and the nacho dishes were huge. The burritos were on the large side, but not much larger than normal, and easy to hold in one hand. Not advisable to hold in one hand when steering the car with the other hand, as you will get hot drippings on your crotch! My only regret about this place is that DCBC only has restaurants in the Sacramento Area, Davis, and Concord -all areas with triple digit temperatures today. Talk about hot stuff.

The gal at the counter was extremely friendly and even gave us food recommendations. It did not take very long for us to get the food and, in the meantime, we enjoyed collecting options at the fun salsa bar! Everyone loved their food! It tasted fresh, hot, and full of flavor! Even my daughter who has specific tastes at times really enjoyed her burrito. I loved that they had a seasonal cranberry salsa, and I enjoyed trying all the different options. Definitely would recommend this to anybody looking for a good filling and delicious burrito! Special shout out to the shrimp burrito! The prices range from very affordable to slightly expensive, depending on the item that you got.

We raved and raved about it to others. We shared the steak salad (the meat was seasoned and marinated on a bed of fresh lettuce with small tomatoes & slivered radishes; the dressing beyond compare! We also got their enchilada entree with Colorado red sauce. YUM! We had one chicken and one cheese along with the most delicious Mexican/Spanish rice I've ever eaten and refried beans. The restaurant is a small boutique restaurant in Sacramento Midtown. A very peaceful environment and friendly service for anything you need!

A lot of spaces to sit inside, bar, or outside but they can quickly get taken up fast so claim your spots! We ordered for drinks: Michelada Mango Margaritas For food I preferred the street tacos asada with everything on it and it was such good tacos!! My friends ordered ceviche and few other items I forgot. The service is amazing and they are so attentive and sweet. Though it was busy they were really efficient. They had a mariachi band today and it was all just good vibes from this place for everyone else. Will def come back again to enjoy!

We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

And when the food finally showed up, it was beyond disappointing. It was barely even warm. I ordered a torta with steak, and I got TWO tiny pieces of steak with unmelted cheese. Unmelted. Cheese. How does that even happen?? The portions overall were ridiculously small, like they didn't even try. Speaking of prices... everything is insanely expensive for what you actually get. I'm paying premium prices for what feels like scraps and poor service. The quality doesn't match the cost at all -- it honestly felt like a complete rip-off. And the ambiance? Honestly, it wasn't even loud or chaotic -- it was just dull and uninviting. Nothing about the atmosphere made up for the long wait or poor experience. It felt like sitting there forever in a place that didn't care whether you were enjoying yourself or not. Long wait AFTER ordering, barely any food, cold meals, no service, dull atmosphere, and outrageous prices. Completely unacceptable. I will NOT be coming back...
