I hate to rain upon what is pretty much a Five Star rating parade, but I have to call it as I see it and from what I experienced. In fact it's rather frightful for me to think that Dos Amigos could be a "Woohoo" as good as it gets Mexican restaurant. The food here is good, I have no problem with that, but for Mexican falls way behind the likes of other nearby in the running Five Star Mexican restaurants such as Casa Frida and of course nowhere near that of Eduardo De San Angel. Stuck in a strip mall, Dos Amigos is a small restaurant but decently decorated in a Mexican motif. When I entered, none of the tables were set and in order to get any sort of a greeting had to go to the counter where a young staff gentlemen was busy fooling around with the register system that was obviously of technology he either hadn't learned or was clearly above his abilities to master; I think the later. After I found a menu and took a seat I was brought the rather traditional chips and salsa, but no napkin. Having past experiences with drippy salsa of which this one, I got up and obtained one. The salsa proved to be fresh, in house made but nothing I would consider to be exceptional in either flavor or taste. A review of their menu didn't indicate to me anything special or surprising in their offerings. Everything was pretty much common to the average Mexican restaurant. For my meal I selected the Carne Asada. When it was served, it was of good proportion, topped off by a whole roasted pepper accompanied by rice, a bean with cheese and a dab of guacamole. Again, however, not served with any eating utensils except a steak knife with which to eat or a napkin, so up I had to get again to obtain what should have been brought with my meal. The Carne Asada had a good charred flavor, a decent texture and a good meat taste. The guacamole, what little amount there was of it, likewise of good flavor as well as did the refried bean side, but again nothing remarkable or that would cause me to think it to be anything exceptional or above average. When I finished my meal, I noted my waiter still attempting to master the beyond his capabilities technology a cash register system, so not wanting to wait for time in eternity to pass, I got up, again, and asked for my bill while proceeded to the men's room. When I came back, still no bill. So up again and to the cash register but still no bill present. But then, after shuffling through a number of papers he handed me a bill. However, it wasn't the bill for the food I had. I called the matter to his attention, but to my surprise he insisted that it indeed was my bill. You can trust me on this. Even when drunk in the blackout section of a sex shop (don't ask for details), I'm pretty particular about and well know what goes in my mouth, so I darn well know what I ate. However, since the bill worked out to be only about a dollar less than the food I had, I merely paid it leaving an overly generous albeit undeserved tip to make up any difference. read more

Have been here twice over the last year. The food is delicious and authentic and the service is great. They also have a table side guacamole they make that is just mouthwatering. Nice little mom and pop spot if you are ever in the area. read more

We came here around 9:30 last night and it was dead. We seriously considered not going in. So glad we gave this place a try. The owner greeted us and made small talk though out the night. Our waiter Jorge was friendly and kept our drinks, salsa and chips full. We ordered the small guacamole which was made at the table by the owner. He asked how we liked it and made it spicy for us. It was great and a rather large portion. For dinner I had the enchiladas which came with rice and beans. The rice and beans were very flavorful and not just some tasteless slop that you get at other mexican joints. The enchiladas were great. My partner got a combo plate with an enchilada and chimichanga. The chimichanga was the best we have ever had. I couldn't stop stealing bites. I'm so glad this place opened close to home. This is our one and only spot for Mexican from now on. read more

Anyone who knows me knows I love some Mexican food. I'll start by saying that this place is AUTHENTIC! You can really tell that TLC goes into these dishes because of the flavor, freshness, and presentation of each plate. We loved it. One thing I really appreciated is that the owner, Miguel, actually came out from the kitchen to talk to customers and make sure they enjoyed their meal. As a customer this is important because it really shows how much he cares about everyone's experience. We arrived at around 7pm on a Saturday and were greeted immediately. Sat down right away and then came the chips and salsa. Both of which were fantastic... For an appetizer we started off with some queso. This stuff was on point! It came out in a skillet that was bubbling with deliciousness. We added a little hot sauce to increase the heat. I could literally eat it with a spoon. It was incredible. We saw some pictures from other Yelpers for some main course ideas so we both decided on the burrito and enchilada combo. You have the option of shredded beef, ground beef or chicken. I opted for the shredded beef enchilada and the ground beef burrito. The girlfriend went with a shredded chicken enchilada and ground beef burrito. It's also served with fried beans and rice. Everything came out covered in cheese but the rice which had me really excited. :) Everything tasted as good as it looked, wonderful. For dessert we went with the fried ice cream and it too was also delicious! I'll definitely be back to try more of what's on the menu soon. read more

Truth be told I wish they offered a half star option, because this place deserves better than 4 stars. Yet in fairness, there are a few areas they could improve to make it spectacular. We went kind of late on a weeknight and it was pouring rain so we thought it would be empty. Much to our surprise it was about 1/2 full, good sign. We were greeted right as soon as our feet went through the door, another good sign. We had chips, salsa and water within a minute of sitting down. Chips, a little greasy, salsa a little meh but the waitress offered and brought some extra hot sauce to perk it up. Let me give you two amazing reasons to come... 1) table side guacamole made to your liking. Which for us included two whole peppers, I'm embarrassed to admit this but their guac is better than mine... which is saying something. 2) GIANT, flavorful margaritas made to order (for me extra lime no salt) You'd be surprised how many restaurants screw this up! I ordered the beef flautas which were served lightly crisp and thankfully not smothered in sauce. The shredded beef was extremely flavorful and moist, delicious! The sides of rice and beans were nothing special. I'd add green chili to the beans and toast them longer for some crispy factor on top. Or I'd offer a fresh salad as an option. All in all, WE WILL order this again! My companion ordered the chili relleno and the cheese enchilada with green sauce. The chili was delicious (grilled instead of battered), just the right amount of ooze. The enchilada was good, but we probably wouldn't order it again. We prefer a spicier and more tart green sauce which this one was neither. It was really nice to have the owner come to the table to ask how everything was, especially so late in the day. What would I change? I'd crank up a little latin music like Alex Fox (flamenco guitar) to add a little more ambiance. (No music on our visit) Then I'd paint the wall a little more appealing color and move some of the art down to eye level. Even though this place is relatively new, I'd say they are well on their way to being one of our regular spots! read more

Just had dinner here. I've passed it numerous times as its around the corner from where I live and I saw the amazing reviews and decided to stop in. I knew from the quality of the salsa served we were in for a good meal and the ratings were valid. Terrific salsa which the very friendly staff kept refilling. Started with margaritas. A regular one for him and a jalapeño one for me. Both perfectly on point. Mine had just the right amount of heat for it to be enjoyable and not to hit. He ordered the carne asada which was tender and flavorful and I had a combination dinner with an enchilada and an avocado tostada and refried beans. Everything was very light and fresh. Full of flavor and we left satisfied but not with that overly full feeling you can often have once you've had a big Mexican or Italian dinner. Great neighborhood joint with friendly service and quality food. Will definitely be back. read more

Dos Amigos - Jalapeño and regular margarita. Perfect. - Mexican Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

We Came here after they were opened for only 2 weeks and we were greatly surprised! The decor was authentic Mexican and very upscale. The staff, especially the owner Miguel took a personal interest in us immediately coming over and talking about his food and beginnings! He was very generous to us and even brought us cactus pears to try. We asked for guacamole, and then they rolled a cart over and made the guacamole fresh next to our table while having pleasant conversation with us. The guacamole was fresh and it should be on the must try list if you visit!! We had skirt steak and shrimp and chill rellenos. They were all great. Desert was fried ice cream! This is an awesome place to visit! New and nice! read more

Not because of the food.... Because of the service. The owner waited on our table more than our server. I should have taken the advice of the patrons who were walking out and said that they would never come back. We knew they weren't talking about the food. We knew it had to be the service and boy were we right! The servers spent more time holding up the wall and playing on their phones. It's sad because the chef and owner puts out a pretty decent product just to have other people ruin his fortune. Ok this post was originally 2 stars but had to drop it down to 1 since we waited for 5 mins for our server to pick up our check. read more

Amazing food great selection Great service ... Our server both times here has been exceptional Delicious margaritas .... If more than 2 get the Magarota Reasonable prices Lunch specials ... Something for everyone read more

We were craving Mexican food and found Dos Amigos on Yelp. This is definitely our new go to! Dos Amigos is a super authentic Mexican restaurant, so if you are looking for legit food please try this place!! Chips and salsa are complimentary but we also decided to get queso for dipping. It came out sizzling in a skillet and was seasoned sooo well. A little spicy but not too much. I had the Burritos Fajitas (forgot if that was actually the name haha) which is a delicious burrito filled with rice, your choice of meat, and is covered in cheese. It also comes with guacamole, sour cream, and some pico de gallo. I made sure to save half of it so I could have it again tomorrow, it was so good!! My boyfriend had the mole enchiladas but I didn't get a photo of it. They were seasoned really well and reminded me of Christmas... Anyways def 5 stars! The service was also extremely attentive and so friendly. read more

The food is still very good. Salsa is obviously fresh made daily and delicious. I had shrimp enchilada, husband had chicken burrito. Very tasty although the rice and beans were 3/4 of the plate. Usual for Mexican restaurants... My advice however is to avoid the margaritas. As fabulous as they were when the restaurant opened, they are now pretty much sugar water. We couldn't even drink them although our fabulous server added more tequila. So go get the food, but order a beer or water! read more

Very poor service. Waitress was so rude!!! She got upset with me because I ordered water! I am an Uber driver so of course I'm not ordering margaritas. From that moment on she was nowhere to be found. She also raised her voice when I asked for chile con queso on my burrito. She charged me $2.00 extra. At least the food is good! Too bad the cooks aren't waiting tables!! read more

Wonderful experience. The servers were so friendly and kind. The chips and salsa were really tasty with a bit of heat. My Chimichanga was really good. My family really enjoyed their meals also. Definitely a hidden gem. May be our new hang out, especially since the margaritas were perfectly balanced. Oh and the dessert. The fried ice cream was amazing also . 5 stars all the way!!! read more

Don't be fooled by the positive reviews- to start, manager is abrupt and non welcoming. I could deal with that but the food is terrible. Rice was hard and old tasting, beans were watery and bland. Enchiladas were made with chicken over seasoned with cumin, which is odd for Mexican food. Everything tasted stale and old. I just hope I don't get sick and can write it off as a waste of $$. Really had high hopes for this place... read more

Great place. Had a homemade feeling to the food. All of our plates were wiped clean. I don't know why we didn't try it sooner. It's in a good location with plenty of parking. The only negative was that two of our menus were slightly dirty. Otherwise, the place itself was neatly decorated, inviting, and clean. Keep up the great food. We'll be back for sure! read more

fantastic food and service. we went in during sprint break and was allowed to leave our luggage in the restaurant and eat.

We've enjoyed this place in the past. It seems they have new management/ owners. Definitely not the same. We ordered our usual 3 grilled mahi fish tacos platter. Instead we got VERY salty fried tilapia. Absolutely inedible! Waitress said she was new and was not able to offer another dish. Then offered if us a doggie bag for the meal we couldn't eat. Would NOT recommend this place!! Would rate -1star read more

Went in and we're not greeted at the door, no signs on here to sit, no menus anywhere, never greeted at the table and server walked by, got up and left. Nobody seems to care. Whatever the excuse, even short staffed you can still communicate to the guests. 4 stars is a joke read more

From the outside doesn't look like anything but what a hidden gem absolutely delicious Mexican food with wonderful service . I had the skirt steak quesadilla and shrimp tacos absolutely amazing . The waiter was also the owner what a wonderful man . Can't wait to come back to his place . It's definitely a must read more

I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but this restaurant was so bad I had to say something! The restaurant was empty when we arrived on 5:15pm on a Saturday, and that should have been the first sign. We thought we were early and shrugged it off. The service wasn't bad, but again we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food is why I'm writing a poor review. The rice seemed microwaved, the black beans were flavorless and not cooked. It was like someone dumped a can of black beans on my plate. My husband got a shredded chicken taco and that was the saltiest chicken I've ever had in my life. I'm sorry but I will never return to this restaurant. I can cook better food at home! read more

Tried this place because of a groupon/ Local Food savings discount. Otherwise would have been out of the way. Very good Mexican food. Chips and salsa we excellent, we had two baskets!

Great food. Friendly owner. The carne asada tacos are my go to every time. Authentic Mexican tacos and great homemade salsa.

After driving by this restaurant almost daily since it opened, I read some reviews and decided it was finally time to try it out. Not only were we surprised to see this tastefully decorated restaurant, but the greeting we received from the staff was worth the visit in itself! The chips and delicious fresh salsa was awesome - and as we'd read - kept on coming. The freshly made guacamole was the best! Each of our dinners were amazing. The Mexican pizza and quesadillas some of the best we'd ever had. We strongly recommend giving this restaurant a try - and if it isn't perfect the first time...try again. We couldn't be more pleased to have this great place in our neighborhood. A full bar with ice cold beer didn't hurt my impression either. read more

We have been to this place twice, the first time was eh ok so we figured we would try again maybe it was an off day, but no the service sucks, every time we asked a question they would answer it half ass and walk away the food has no flavor and the prices are wayyy too high! The menu is huge but everything taste the same. We asked them if they had just tacos without the rice and beans and the guy pointed out the side menu, when we looked it just said tacos no indication as to what kind of taco, we asked whoever was attending us (which was two different ppl?) and they mumbled meat and chicken and then walked away without even asking us if we had any other questions. read more

How this place has four stars is beyond me. The salsa was spicy with next to zero taste, nachos were worse than $2 santitos at the dollar store. Not only did my ACC shrimp taste unclean, they were overdone AND came out with tails on....WTF??? My rice was crunchy so I just sent it back. My wife got a pollo burrito that had zero taste with crunchy rice as well. Beer selection sucked and was overpriced. If it wasn't for the stellar personality of our waiter, oh wait, that didn't exist either. This is one of the joints that has no concern for reputation, the population is so large they'll serve half-ass food and reopen under another name if necessary. read more

Nastiest food I have ever tasted! Spent $60 and took one bite, no flavor absolutely do not waste your time or money!!!!

This place had some excellent mexican food options! My visit was a pure chance, and going in with no expectations and I was not disappointed. From the moment you walk in, it is a small but welcoming location with a Latin feel and decorations. The staff was warm, and came over promptly to offer beverages and chips and salsa, which the salsa was very flavorful! Upon looking over the menu, from appetizers to the combos and plates, there was a nice mix of options from chicken to steak, refried beans. The guac was very good also! I will be returning to try more options! Great value for the money! read more
