    First time here. For lunch had taco salad, medium size, no dressing offered, would have been nice. Upfront chips served warm. Salsa just right. Very friendly staff. Background music not so good, needs more traditional Mexican music. Tables, chairs & seasonal decorations very well done. Pricing was fair. Overall, good lunch experience.

    Wowowow! First let me say there was another person who mentioned the chips and salsa were the best in a 50 mile radius... THEY ARE NOT WRONG! The salsa is incredible! We both got fajitas, chicken and steak, which were flavourful, filling, and everything you could hope for! Fresh tortillas to go with it! This is a 5 star experience that is tucked away! Service is fast and friendly also! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    We were in town for an appointment and decided to have dinner, we have passed Dos Amigos many times so we decided to try it. They have ample free parking on both sides of the building with seating inside and out. The place appeared to be clean and easy to get around except the floor inside was rather slick which was concerning. They have both booths and table and chairs. Shortly after we sat down we were served complimentary chips and salsa they were fresh and tasty. We ordered a beef chimi meal which came with rice, beans and salad. I ordered the chimi with the cheese sauce on the side and it came as requested. The other meal was I believe call Shrimp Yucatan with tortillas, rice and salad, it was very good and a little different than i have had before. I have to say the service was outstanding and could not have been more attentive. Our drinks were kept full and our food was served quickly, hot and fresh.

    This was my husband and I's first time trying dos amigos. As you can see we ordered a plethora of things to try. We are both a little picky about certain things in our food, but the menu is so large neither of us had a problem finding something to order. I had the steak fajitas, he had chicken enchiladas, and we also ordered the cheese dip and fried ice cream. Everything we tried was really good and perfectly seasoned. I will say the only negative for me was that the music was almost overwhelmingly loud. Also, we got cheese dip as an appetizer, but had almost no time to eat it before our food came out. Obviously, prompt service isn't a bad thing, but something to keep in mind if you order an appetizer. We will be back to try more!
