We have been getting takeout from Dos Coyotes in Davis on a regular basis during the Covid 19 crisis. We started to do it to help a local business but we were so pleased by the excellent food and the ease in picking up the...order, that we have continued to get takeout often. Keep up the excellent work.More

The nachos were yummy - generous amount of meat, just enough cheese with a very tasty topping. The burrito was okay, enhanced with items from the Salsa Bar. The potato skin tacos were tough although the filling was delicious. I ordered a Taco Plate with...Beef but received one beef and one chicken. Both meat fillings could have been drained better. The rice was somewhat dry. The staff was upbeat and friendly. The restaurant was clean but had a high level of noise. I had to go to the patio to listen to a phone call but could not hear much better outside.More

Excellent service. I ordered the Mahi Mahi burrito and my aunt ordered the apple carnita quesadilla. The burrito filling was more like a tuna sandwich filling wrapped in a tortilla. It was good but not what I am expected. My aunt didn’t like the apple...in the quesadilla but loved the carnitas. The salsa bar is great. Many to choose from. The restaurant is clean and available outside seating.More

We are here to meet our Son and his wife for lunch. The special board looked good, I had the Firecracker tacos! So good, texture, taste, looks. The combination of different tastes and textures was really good. That first bite, yum!

The bar is pretty low in Davis for a good salad. Hardly any place in the town that is better than your town can construct a worthy salad. Seems surprising with so many students, health-conscious eaters, cross-fitters, farm-to-forkers and Farmers Market goers. But true. Dos...can give you that dose when you are in salad need. Their other fare is tasty too, but usually only on par with some of the more genuine SW/Mexican food places in town.More

The food was great and the lady who took my order was super nice and helpful. The lady who was calling out orders was a little short when I asked her a question.

You get massive servings for a relatively 'standard' price in the $7-12ish per person for a lunch or dinner. You pay before you eat, so no surprises. Huge huge huge servings at very good quality. One person mentioned watery guac... that's at the self-serve condiments...table and just to explain: that is some weird type of salsa... not guac. Avocados are really expensive nowadays... their actual guac is quite good. This place is humongous, very much wheelchair accessible. One thing I wish they had was better music as the ambiance has something to be desired.More

This restaurant has been around since I was going to UC Davis over 20 years ago. I still have friends that stop at this place on the way up to Lake Tahoe from the Bay Area. Food is above average, definitely better than Chevy's. Atmosphere...can be loud, but as long as you're fine with that, it's good. They do have some outside seating. This establishment is part of the City of Davis. If you are in Davis and you want Mexican food and want a taste of the student life/experience, you should definitely stop by. It's within a shopping center that isn't too far away from the freeway, so it's not hard to get to.More

Dos Coyotes is extremely popular, but I am not why. This was my third trip in five years, and each time I have vowed not to go again only to get dragged back by circumstances. What don't I like? First, there is the noise. Second,...it is the lack of care in the preparation of the food. I ordered a green chili stew and got soup. I mentioned this to the server, who agreed it looked more like soup and then walked away. Watery guacamole! Then there is the fact that the food is served on extremely large plates on small tables. Did I mention the noise? Bobby Coyote you need to pay attentuion.More

I have eaten at this establishment for years, and at its sister restaurant before this one was built. A really great take on southwestern cuisine, affordably priced, and quick service. You order at the cashier and then they will deliver to your table. I bit...noisy with all the hard surfaces, but really great service. Love this place.More
