Story summary

In September 2020, Dos Coyotes Border Café, a California-based Mexican dining chain founded in 1991 by Bobby Coyote, closed its last Bay Area location on Crow Canyon Place in San Ramon. The restaurant had expressed gratitude to the community for their support over the years and fans shared heartfelt messages about the closure. Dos Coyotes initially aimed to create "a people's restaurant" when it opened its first location in Davis, offering dishes like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. While the exact reason for the closure was not specified, it coincides with a broader trend of other Mexican chains scaling back or shutting down entirely across the country.
