A solid "American Mexican food" restaurant. No complaints. ACP checked all the boxes-- decent rice, moist and well seasoned chicken, plenty of cheese sauce. This restaurant provides 5 different dips/salsas for free at the table, which is a nice change. Friendly and attentive staff, bustling but not unbearably noisy. Fun place to grab a meal with friends. I would eat here again. read more

Dos amigos is the best Mexican in town with the best prices to match. They give 5 complementary dips to start and they are phenomenal my favorites are the mango salsa and the avocado dip.

Can't complain about dos amigos ever. Staff are super friendly and quick with taking orders and having you sat. I got the vegetarian E dish tonight and it was done perfectly. We also got the ACP with chorizo and it was really good. Everyone else I was dining with was raving about their dinner as well. We sat near the front which was new but enjoyable as I felt we were catered to perfectly. The restaurant was clean and had good music playing. Will def be coming back! read more

Dos Amigos - Boone - ACP ADD CHORIZO - Mexican Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

I travel through Boone periodically, but usually eat somewhere else in my journeys. Timing was different during one of my recent trips, so I started thinking about Boone dining options (used to live nearby). Dos Amigos came to mind, though I bet it's been a decade or more since I last ate there, so I had no clue what to expect. As the previous sentence reveals, this restaurant has been a tenant in the New Market Center shopping complex for quite a while. Mexican food and adult beverages seem to belong in a college town, after all. And the restaurant was well attended during my visit, a good sign that the restaurant was still deserving of my business. That said, I was seated and attended to very quickly. The complimentary chips and wide variety of accompanying dips (five options!) were a strong start to the meal. Thankfully, I somehow managed to save enough room for the main event, a lovely plate of carnitas that arrived in a reasonable time. Joining the pork on my plate was guac salad and a healthy portion of beans. I found myself pleased with all the food I was presented. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food I received, and the quality of service I received throughout my stay was excellent. Dos Amigos is a bit noisy, and the dining arrangements do show a bit of wear and tear, but if you don't mind those things I'd call this a smart stop for a filling meal. Maybe one day I won't be traveling onward and I can sample the bar options here... read more

Better showing today, it seems like they are stepping up their game from the typical mecican-american joint. Anyway, my buddy got all of this food and I ate all of the chips and assorted dips. read more

Love the food here but...I Bought a huge dinner to eat at the restaurant and planned to take the rest home to my family. Almost $100. I boxed up the leftovers and paid the check with a generous tip. Walked out to my truck and realized I forgot my food. By the time I went back in my food wasn't there and my server said he threw it in the trash and didn't offer to replace it. Very disappointing. I will not be going back. I'm sure this happens a lot but I would assume that the server holds on to boxed up food for longer than a few minutes before trashing it. Furthermore I would expect they would offer to compensate in this case but they just said "sorry your food is in the trash " read more

Good portions, large menu with wide variety of Mexican dishes. Try the California burrito with mole sauce. Large space and room for parties of 10-12. read more

Love this place and the food is always great, but the server today was terrible. Zero effort to get through the language barrier. Missed add ons, brought wrong drinks, was just a terrible experience. read more

This will always be our go to Mexican restaurant here in Boone. The service is always so speedy and the food is always so delicious! I had to get my go to order the Shrimp Cocktail which is full of flavor and amazing shrimp! The only sad part is they weren't serving alcohol so no margarita :( read more

Absolute best meal and service! We both had the Rava Con Crema which was new to us. Absolutely delicious! I had the blood orange margarita which is made with Patron. It was brought in a shaker so it filled my glass 3 times. The mango salsa was amazing. They bring 4 different salsas with your chips, all good. Our waitress did an excellent job of being attentive without being annoying. I definitely recommend. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon with friends and were quickly seated. Music was nice and not too loud. The food options were endless and happy to try a few items with my partner. Our server seemed overwhelmed as she would rush by our table. The pina coladas were HUGE and I was shocked by the price. First time here and my friends we visited were excited to come back. read more

The chicken fandito is really good, however they do sometimes overcook it. The service is mixed from alright to good, really just depends on where you sit. read more

Omg such low prices!!! Tacos were meh - chile was amazing Acp was omg 5$ cheaper and bigger Ty! read more

Fernando MADE my day. Absolute treasure of a server. I'm a waitress and I ought to take notes from him. He was both friendly but to the point. I also credit Carlos for getting my tables chips and dips IMMEDIATELY after sitting down. They give you 5 dips to pair with the chips and it was such a high note of the meal. The atmosphere was also so welcoming, comfortable, and authentic. Having a Latina immigrant mother, my standards for Hispanic food is super high and did not expect somewhere in Boone to exceed that standard. Truly one of the best dining experiences i have ever experienced and all for a fair price. read more

Love the food and service. Best fried ice cream I've had. Go-to spot for my family and friends.

In town visiting our college student & stopped in for dinner. Friday night & the restaurant was pretty busy. Minimal wait. Customer Service was pretty good through the whole meal. They bring out chips and multiple dipping options. I love salsa and theirs was pretty good. I got a margarita with Patron and wasn't impressed. Hence the 3 stars, margarita's should be on point at a Mexican restaurant. Dinner came out quickly. Everyone enjoyed their meal after adding some of the sauces. Food was bland. Probably a one & done for us. read more

Such a fan of Dos Amigos! Their free chips and salsa are great. They usually bring out a variety of dips you can try. For the main entrée, I get the sopa de pollo, which is very flavorful and filling. It comes with a ton of vegetables. I also recommend their horchata, which is free refills. The staff here are always very nice. Last time I visited there was also a live mariachi band! read more

The service was excellent - seated right away, server came immediately for drink order and provided refills before we asked. The ambiance was typical for Mexican and we were served warm tasty tortilla chips with 5 different kinds of sauces. We just order 3 soft tacos and 3 crisp tacos which were so-so. Just weren't flavorful (5 chicken and 1 beef). Price was good. read more

Always good food and service. Reasonably priced as well. We love the atmosphere and friendly folks

We were excited to have some Mexican food on our recent trip to Boone. Unfortunately, our top two choices were closed on Mondays so we chose Dos Amigos based on reviews. Not sure why the reviews are mostly positive...nothing special. First off, our waitress appeared to wish she was anywhere else but there. Maybe her dog died? Besides that, the value for what you got was decent but I'd rather spend a little more and get food with flavor. We tried a variety of entrees and results were the same. Not much flavor. The free chips and dips were the best part of the experience. If you are looking for good Mexican food in the area...best try another place. read more

Dos Amigos has the best service out of any other restaurant i've been to in Boone. Fernando the server was super attentive! he gave us the perfect amount of time to look over the menu, and exercised great patience. There was also a man named Carlos who was handing out chips and dips, he did so immediately when we sat down and gave the same service to every other table in the section. Not only was the service amazing, the restaurant has a really nice vibe, great decor and lighting. Food was also amazing, perfect portions of everything and did not take long at all to come out. read more

I think this restaurant was fantastic. It has an extensive menu and everything my group ordered tasted like perfection. I had the California Fajitas and the seasoning and the cut of mixed meats was different and scrumptious. Banana peppers was a variation I never had before, but I want again. Certainly on my favorites list. read more

I don't understand the 3 star or less reviews-- this place was amazing! TDLR version: the dips that came with the chips were all SO good, the food was delicious, our service was amazing, and the place was clean. DEFINITELY recommend. Long version: -Food: chips and dip were the best I've had (I've never had an array of dips served for free like this). My chimichangas were so delicious-- I will be ordering those again! My husband said his quesadilla was very good as well (we both admit the chimichangas were the best lol). It all came out perfectly cooked and in a timely manner! -Service: our waiter was wonderful, such a sweet guy. Drinks were refilled frequently, they checked on us multiple times and refilled our chips before we had to ask. They even provided extra napkins without us asking! -Atmosphere/cleanliness: it was clean with a good atmosphere. Maybe a little crowded in the area we were in, but that didn't bother me because the restaurant wasn't extremely busy when we went. I'm a travel nurse working in Boone currently, and I will DEFINITELY be back to eat here. My husband isn't a huge fan of Mexican food, but he already asked if we should revisit the restaurant before we head back home at the end of the week! Definitely recommend this place. read more

I've been to Dos Amigos twice. The first time was with a group of coworkers and the second time was with my significant other. I love that they give you 4 salsa options right at your table, chips are always refilled as well as water, and food is ready quickly. Pros: Professional servers. Quick service. Waters always refilled. Cons: Tastes like every other Mexican restaurant in the High Country. Nothing about Dos Amigos makes them stand out as far as quality, quantity, and price. Things I wish were different: - Told the server about the spider webs/spiders near my table and nothing was done. I didn't make a scene but it is kinda gross. - Wish extra napkins were automatically provided but not a big issue, I just asked for them. - The fried ice cream was not fried, just vanilla with corn flakes on it. read more

Great place, huge portions, multiple salsa choices and fast service. Will be back for sure.

Very good COVID protocols. In my mind, this is the best Mexican restaurant in Boone! There are certain things I look for in a good Mexican restaurant - salsa that isn't sweet tomato sauce. Theirs is flavorful and mild - but if you want something hotter just ask. I knew Dos Amigos was a winner when their shrimp ceviche was brought to the table. It was beautiful to look at. The flavors were fresh and the serving was generous. On Sundays, the line is out the door! read more

I've always loved this place as an app state student. If you haven't been and you want a recommendation of something to try get the El Burro de La Roqueta. I have never gotten anything else from here it's definitely the best thing I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The service is always good and fast and I love the overall vibe of the place. Definitely the best Mexican food in Boone. read more

After losing their liquor license in May 2024, it's been all downhill. Slow service and terrible food. Adios, amigos.

Amazing chips with a variety of salsas!!! I would come again for sure. Theres a red, white, and green sauce/salsa; the red salsa has a bit of heat, the white is slightly sweet, and the green is a slightly tangy avocado lime flavor. Perfect. read more

Was decorated nice, clean and semi fast service. One server brought out a dish that didn't go with our meal. She smiled and walked away. Our server walked over, said something and removed the plate. A few minutes later our server brought our food, set it down and walked off. Still no smile or apology. We had to ask for extra napkins, and our bill. Again, things placed on the table and off she goes. I know you folks can do better . If the servers can't or won't serve your customers with a smile and a brief "how's everyone tonight", "enjoy your meal, or evening", hire them to work behind the scenes. read more
