    Ingredients for a carne asada taco from Dos Coyotes.
    Morningstar G.

    After a disappointing online order, we were given an opportunity to try Dos Coyotes again, and this time we decided to dine in. I'm glad we did. The young lady at the register was wonderful. She had a bubbly personality and genuinely seemed to enjoy her job. Her positive attitude made a great first impression. The young man who appeared to be a manager was also very helpful. He helped us reposition our table so my wheelchair was not sticking out and blocking the walkway. When I asked if there were any spoons available, he was quick to help. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. The staff made a difference, and we appreciated the care and kindness they showed. Thank you for giving us a better experience.

    We just had the best chicken salad I've ever had. It was so big I couldn't finish it. But it was also great tasting. So if you go dos coyotes go with an appetite, and the salads are always great.

    Shrimp Burrito bowl

    I mean flavor was solid. The chips had a nice crunch and were slightly warm. The salsa we got didn't have too much flavor but complimented the crunch and didn't make them soggy fast. I mainly used the chips to dip into the bowl. There was a good amount in the bowl, couldn't finish it in one sitting for sure. I wish there was more corn and protein. The 6 shrimp were seasoned well but kinda small. If they were cut up maybe they would feel bigger? Other than that the portions of all the other items was a good amount. We did a big takeout order and the workers were very nice they even helped my coworker take it to his car! Plenty of parking in the area, can get kinda busy.

    I have not been to a dos coyotes in years cam in with a friend and was thoroughly impressed. The cashier was very helpful with menu suggestions, salsa bar was impressive with lots of choices, the food was served quick and was very tasty. I don't eat put often, but this was an excellent choice. Hope to be back again soon. I ordered the 3 taco plate with rice and beans. 2 shredded chicken and 1 shredded beef crispy tacos, packed with flavor. My friend ordered the shrimp taco, and 2 Mahi tacos.

    Santa Fe Nachos
    michelle g.

    Overall like this place. Workers are very friendly and great. Our go to are the tacos and quesadilla, which are both very good. Really wanted nachos tonight, though. Remember being pretty unimpressed before, so I tried the Santa Fe version. They were not flavorful at all, which I was hoping the sauce would help with. It did not. The chips are suuuper thin, like Taco Bell thin or maybe even thinner and only the very top ones are crispy. Notice the stack underneath- only the very top has toppings. Bella Bru has the best nachos from my experience, but they are not the traditional flavor and family didn't want to go there. One star for this dish. Skip it, unless you desperately need nachos.

    Border Burrito bowl w/ chips.

    Decided to check this place out as I was in the area. I ordered the Border Burrito Bowl. Flavor-wise, it was really good and it's definitely a good value. The ambiance is what you'd expect out of a Mexican chain restaurant. The staff were nice and friendly and the service was quick, which I definitely appreciated. That being-said, I did ask for several ingredients to be left out, and unfortunately, everything I asked to remove was still in the bowl. I didn't notice until I was a few bites in, which was frustrating. I get that mistakes happen, and the food itself was tasty, but it kind of takes away from the experience when a specific order isn't followed. If you do have specific dietary needs, definitely double-check your food before taking your first bite.

    Although I've eaten here off and on throughout the years, I am reviewing on the most experience my co-workers and I had. Quite a few of us randomly decided to swing by since it was close to our office on a Thursday roughly after 12pm. Ample parking and a fair amount of seating both inside and immediately outside the establishment. I decided on the shrimp burrito. Although the burrito was very filling and delicious, I wasn't particularly fond of the salsa i grabbed. It was rather on the sweet end. I knocked it down 2 stars due to observing inconsistent means in bringing food orders to everyone. Although it is understandable for staff to have some difficulty bringing food to everyone when we're all sitting in various areas, they'd probably benefit from having a sort of ticketing system displayed outside when their food is ready (or a loud speaker. By the time we were all practically done with our meal, one co-worker was still waiting for his meal and had to go to the front, receive an incorrect order and ended up just taking it home to go. This hasnt been my experience in the past and generally the food is pretty good so I'll just take it thst they were busy that day. It won't hinder me from going back in the future.

    Border Burrito

    They make their burritos so small here compared to other locations. Arden location is the best dos coyotes I've been to in Sacramento. Elk Grove is a close second In terms of freshness of chicken and burrito size. This location just fills it with mostly sour cream. You eating mostly sauce if you order a burrito from here. It's kinda sad. Go down the street to el pollo loco if you're looking for a decent sized burrito.

    Food is good here. It's more texmex. Salad was filling. Good service. Nice aesthetic here.

    Green Chile Stew and Yolo Mango Burrito
    Melissa G.

    I recently sampled Dos Coyotes' Green Chile Stew at a fundraising event, and I came back on a weekday for lunch to get my fix! The service was quick and attentive, and to my surprise, my partner and I were able to order lunch for two for under $30! We dined in, and inside is well kept with unique Southwest decor and finishes. In addition to the Green Chile Stew, we also ordered the Yolo Mango burrito which came with chips and salsa. The salsa bar had lots of options, and the salsa Verde packed the right amount of heat. Our meals were not just well priced, but also delicious. I'd highly recommend if you're looking for quick service Mexican!

    Cotija cheese

    From the customer service to the food it was a 10/10 experience for me. Im a little under the weather and had the soup ( i forgot the name ) but it was chicken with potatoes, the slightest spice had me all the way right. The owner always comes out to greet everyone along with the beautiful decor I would def recommend.

    Shrimp Burrito
    Krystal W.

    Good burritos, quesadillas, chips, and salsa! What more could you want?! I am pleasantly surprised by this place. I had the shrimp burrito and added the mild green sauce on it. What a great combination! Additionally, I had the quesadilla with hatch Chile. I added the steak which was a good choice! The fixings that they provide made it such a great quesadilla. Ambiance - you order in the front and the staff will bring you your food. It was a nice casual place to eat. I am coming back for more!

The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.

Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd.

It's always been a busy place and sometimes hard to get into before a show, but the service was always great. This time we sat outside, which actually had a really nice view of the Golden 1 entrance. Our waiter was really nice and courteous, but it was pretty obvious he was doing the job of about three people. He did the best he could and stayed friendly the whole time, but when you're spread that thin it's hard to stay on top of drinks, food coming out, checking on tables, etc. We didn't really hold that against him because it seemed much more like a staffing issue than anything he was doing wrong. One of the things I've always liked about Polanco is their carafe of Palomas. We ordered one at the bar and then another at the table. When we got the bill, we noticed an extra charge for four cups. After looking at it again, we realized that after paying $48 for a carafe, you're also being charged for the cups you drink it out of. That is honestly one of the most ridiculous charges I've ever seen at a restaurant. I've always really liked this place, so it was disappointing. Being short staffed is one thing, but that's a management issue, not the waiter's fault. Charging people extra for cups after they just bought a $48 carafe of cocktails is just wild. This review does not refer to their food, ambiance, decor or staff. Unfortunately this has to do with under staffing (managing issue) and now charging for CUPS
