How does a NorCal restaurant not have solid vegan options in 2024? I'm grateful that the staff accommodated me when I came with my work colleagues, but there was a lot of "vegan by omission": take the veggie burrito, remove the cheese and sour cream. Oh, they can't do the black beans because they're cooked in butter. They can't even do the fajita veggies by default because they're also cooked in butter--it's a special order.

The result was bland and uninspired. I would love to see this chain put in even a modicum of effort. How about a fried cauliflower burrito with cashew crema sauce? Or a three-bean chili with chimichurri sauce?

Food was good but sparse.
Restaurant has no chips for the various types of salsa.
Loud dining area- zero sound reduction.

If I could give more stars I would! The food here is out of this world incredible. My family and I live 2 hours out of Davis and stop by here on the way too and from Tahoe whenever we go ski in the winter. I’m vegetarian and my go to is the loaded potato tacos (the tostada salad is also incredible and comes on a huge tortilla). I’ve probably gotten the tacos over 10 times and they are the exact same every time. Potatoes are thinly cut, the cheese is perfectly crispy, and the cabbage slaw covering the entire taco is to die for! The salsa bar is also full of incredibly delicious and fresh salsa of multiple varieties. Debating going to college in Davis just so I can eat here every week!

WE LOVE DOS COYOTES! My family and I are from San Jose but every time we go to Tahoe (or pass remotely close to Dos Coyotes) we stop there (on the way to and from our destination!) the loaded potato tacos are to die for and haven’t found anywhere else serving something remotely close. If you are nearby or this is on your way, stop here! You won’t regret it. ?

Vegetarian options: LOADED POTATO TACOS (just get them!)

I grew up in Davis and have been a longtime patron (since they opened in 1991). In all this time, yesterday may have been my most memorable and fun visit yet (thank you to an employee named Olin). With an intention to share a few tacos and leave, Olin has excellent plate and drink recommendations. We stayed much longer than expected because we were enjoying the visit so much.
One of the highlights? They brought back their green avocado salsa and it’s as delicious as ever. Show up for Olin and stay for the green sauce, haha. Way to knock it out of the park Dos, you are truly aged to perfection.

Parking: Shared parking lot with other businesses so parking has never been an issue

Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly atmosphere
