Best Mexican food in Laveen! Go here if you want classic Sonoran Mexican food and want great service and a good marg!

Went here with my partner during our lunch break at work. The place was not very busy which worked out for us because I have been here before and the place was packed. We were seated instantly and greeted by our server seconds after we sat down asking if she could get us some drinks. The restaurant was quiet with music playing in the background and with this weather it was beautiful to sit outside on the patio. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and the carne asada fries. They both tasted awesome. The fries weren't mushy and also not super crunchy. The carne asada was plentiful on the plate and the toppings weren't overwhelming. Well done Dos Gordos. I will surely be back! read more

Dos Gordos - Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The dining room and patio are quite nice. The service was average. The food was also average. Maybe we ordered the wrong things. The taco salad was low on lettuce which made it heavy, when I was trying to find something lighter. The kids meal was nice though. read more

This visit to Dos Gordos was completely unplanned. The place we originally intended to have breakfast at was under construction, so when we noticed the "Now Serving Breakfast" sign, my husband and I decided to give it a try. Neither of us had been there before, and we're so glad we stopped in. When we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised to see how full it was with happy customers. We were greeted right away and asked if we'd prefer indoor or patio seating. We chose to wait for a table inside, and within 10 minutes we were seated. The staff brought us a cute little aluminum pail of tortilla chips with two salsas, and we ordered a side of guacamole. It arrived quickly and the portion was huge--more than enough for two people. Everything was fresh and so delicious that I actually forgot to take a picture! The cucumber lemonade was crisp, refreshing, and worth every bit of the $5. For our meals, I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was bursting with flavor and freshness--I'll definitely be coming back for it again. My husband ordered the green chile pork and was so quiet while eating that I knew it had to be good. When I asked how it was, he said, "Better than Comedor Guadalajara," which is one of our top favorites. That statement alone says everything! Our server, Nadia, made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, and truly engaging with her customers--something you don't see as often these days. She has a wonderful personality, and honestly, the owner should give her a raise or bonus. She really made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was upbeat and lively without being overwhelming. The music had us dancing in our seats, but it wasn't too loud to have a conversation. Inside is cozy and small, but it never felt cramped. Looking around, it was clear that this restaurant draws a beautiful mix of people: an older gentleman quietly dining alone, a group of golfers, a young couple with a baby out on the patio--all enjoying the food together. The place was packed. Everyone seemed happy, and the whole vibe was positive. We were shocked to learn Dos Gordos has been open for about seven years--we only wish we had found it sooner! Since they open earlier than most Mexican restaurants, it's perfect for mornings like ours when our day starts at 5:00am. My husband and I both agree this might be our new go-to breakfast spot when we don't feel like cooking. The food is authentic, comforting, and has that home-cooked feel. The shrimp cocktail alone transports you to another place. Between the great food, welcoming service, and fun atmosphere, this local gem is absolutely worth a visit. I highly recommend stopping by Dos Gordos--you just might love it as much as we did! read more

We stopped in here for brunch! It's a fun little spot! Very Ma and Pa place! The staff was very happy and friendly. They were singing and dancing while they were rolling silverware! It was cute and gave a very homey vibe! They were accommodating to all my questions! They bring you complimentary chips and salsa that was fresh and delicious! I got the breakfast tacos with potatoes! They were so good! They have plenty of menu options! Something for everyone! It's a smaller area but they also have great outdoor seating options too! Definitely recommend stopping in and giving them a try! read more

I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. The portion is huge! The enchiladas tasted great, but I thought the rice and refried beans needed a bit more of the flavor. Our server was attentive. Although it's a small restaurant, I love how they decorate it. read more

Dos Gordos - Chicken Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Decent food, great prices. Located within a strip mall, so lots of parking around. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have complimentary chips and salsa. Service is a little slow for such a tiny restaurant, but servers are always very kind. The prickly pear marg is good but very sweet, but the jalapeño marg is the best!! Happy hour is 3-6 Monday through Friday, which includes margs, nachos, flautas, and few more items. The fajitas were good, but it weirdly only comes with one tortilla! I had to ask for another. The flautas were tasty, and came with a large portion of guac and sour cream. I've been here a few times with coworkers and like it! read more

Why cook, let Dos Gordos cook for you. Great neighborhood spot. Try the Surf and Turf Fajitas. The steak has such good flavor. Enjoy the music while they prepare you their signature Strawberry Margarita ( My Favorite). You have to try the dragon fruit lemonade. It is so refreshing and full of flavor. The servers are very attentive and always cleaning if not busy with customers. They have a great happy hour menu. Why cook? read more

I ordered a green chili burro and refried beans pretty simple right now? Wrong I paid $15 for a rice burrito barely any protein in it and no beans this is the second time I tried this place and definitely the last I just spent 15 on a rice burrito I gave to a two star because the rice was decent read more

The service was friendly and mostly intentive considering how busy the place was. The beer was ice cold and delicious. The shrimp and fish tacos were outstanding especially with the cilantro lime creama. Ordered the beans and chips and really wanted to lick the bowl was so good. I would definitely recommend this little hidden gem. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Dos Gordos - Dining room - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

One of our favorite places for authentic Mexican food! We pick up dinner from here at least once a week (usually more).

I have the albondigas soup all the time, it's pretty flavorful and the rice is always good. There gorditas are good but recently got smaller. Just wish they used Mexican cheese & crema. I've also had there green Chile pork, very tasty. Just need to cook their meat a little more cause sometimes it's a little hard. My sister loves their menudo. It's always clean. Like their aguas frescas. Service-there is a lady and a young man that are always nice & polite. I have it often cuz it's by my house. Try it! read more

This location has a good variety of Mexican food and it was yummy. I had 2 bean gorditas and it was plenty for me....they were yummy! My friend had ground beef Gordita plate and he enjoyed his with rice and whole beans. Finally, my third friend had three tacos (fish, shrimp and lengua) which he liked the shrimp and lengua. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was really friendly and the service was fast and prices were reasonable. We all recommend and would return. read more

I'm sorry, but if I'm getting food to-go, I don't understand why I'm being asked for a tip. What made it worse was that after I didn't tip, you said something to your coworker and he looked over at me. That was unprofessional and has now stopped me from ever doing business with you. Tips are for waiting services. I'm already playing for the food. I shouldn't have to tip for getting the food. 2 stars cause the food is alright;but the front door carry out service really messed it up this time around. Details: * Date: 8/16 * Time: 6:25 PM * Order: Steak fries read more

Found this spot because I work close by the area. Me and my coworker came here for lunch. We were seated right away the food came out very quickly. My plate was delicious the flavor was on point. My coworker had a bean and cheese burrito she said it was delish. I would go again. Our server was very nice and attentive. read more

Dos Gordos is a local Latin inspired restaurant nestled in the plaza off of 35th ave and baseline rd. I have only ate here once as a takeout but plan on trying more food options to determine a final rating. I ordered their breakfast burrito, egg ham cheese and potato and I give it an overall 3 star. It really did have the potential to be a great burrito but the two things that really caused my rating was 1. Lack of flavor and 2. Nothing was cut down to chewable sizes. For an adult I don't see this being that much of a big deal but I was sharing my burrito with my child and I had to cut down the potatoes, eggs, and ham pieces to more bite sizes. It was very awkward to eat when every bite felt like half dollar size pieces and wasn't really getting a good mixture. This is not a final rating especially as there are a lot of yummy items on the menu I want to try. I will give an updated review soon. *** As a reminder everyone's taste buds are different so I always say try it for yourself and continue to support Local!!!*** read more

Missing the carne asada in the chilaquiles asada plate, the Jamaica taste watered down

We got a lot of food and it was so incredibly good. The kids loved it too. We will definitely be back.

Finally made it in! I love the welcoming feeling and the vibe. Seated right away. Got here at a good time for a Sunday. By 11a, it starts to fill up. My thing is always chillaquillas, yes it was on the menu & I was happy. Sadly, I will need to try something else when I come back. They were lukewarm, and cheese was melted whatsoever. I was told by the waiter that the green was spicy, so I chose the red. Below, let me know if there was any red on the plate. By the way, the green is not spicy at all. read more

The soup will always be my go to going forward. read more

It was just ok. Great service, food was average. In a strip mall. Hostess and waitress were very attentive.

The food is as authentic as I've had here in South Phoenix. They bring you chips and salsa to your table, and the salsa hits! We had the guacamole to start. It had the perfect amount of onion and cilantro. Fresh is the first adjective that comes to mind. It possessed the right amount of chunk. For my main dish, I had the chorizo and eggs which also came with refried beans, potatoes and homemade flour tortillas. The beans are an easy tell as to whether or not a place is going to be good...and they nailed it! I'd describe them as slightly mashed and not oily at all. The chorizo had a great taste and wasn't greasy at all. I washed my meal down with their sweet tea. Being from Texas, I can be a tough critic when it comes to Iced Tea, but I liked it so much I had to order one to go. Lastly, the service was fanatical! Our waiter, Edward, was so attentive and thoughtful. He wanted to make sure we absolutely loved all of our choices, offering always to exchange our options if we were completely satisfied. This is our second time here and not only will we be regulars here now, but I will be recommending this place to friends, families, and random passer-byers on a regular. read more

Dos Gordos - Chorizo Eggs, cheese, potatoes and refried beans - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I gave 2 stars because the food is actually good. I got lengua tacos with beans & rice. Everything was fresh and hot. The place is clean. It was moderately busy and I was quickly seated. The waitress was sweet and tried her best to accommodate me. Now, that said, my issue is with the drink I ordered. I got a frozen prickly pear margarita. It was separated with the blended ice sitting on top and the syrup on the bottom. I tasted no tequila. Even after I stirred it up, it was separated. I asked the waitress if I could just get the same margarita but on the rocks instead. She told me they don't comp alcohol drinks after they are made. I told her I didn't want it comped, just remade. Well, instead, she brought me out a new glass with a salt rim, ice, and a shot of tequila. I had to drain the other drink into the new glass myself and mix it up with the ice and the shot. So ultimately, they could have just made me a new drink. The waitress was apologetic but it was not her fault. Just because of this one experience, I won't be back even with the food being decent. read more

Was looking forward to the chilaquiles. What a disappointment! They were super DRY. As in red chile flavored soggy chips. The potatoes i subbed instead of the beans were very good though. Gotta say the staff are really nice and I plan to come back... just not for the chilaquiles ;D Note: the Salsa that accompanies the breakfasts is *chef's kiss* read more

Dos Gordos - Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food is good, salsa is good but they have best tasting red chile around! Love the outside patio.

I can at lunch time and it was busy but I was able to get a table the menu isn't too large so I was able to make a decision pretty quickly. I had the beef hard shell tacos and they were make perfectly and I also had the chicken flautas I guess I was in a deep fried mood today. The salsas are really flavorful and they do have some heat. The ambiance is rustic and matches the community of Laveen. The service is great and they are able to turn tables quickly so If you see a line don't get turned off just because of that. There is also plenty of parking and they have a nice patio with heaters as well. read more

Dos Gordos - Beef Tacos and Chick Flautas. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Another of the three best sit down restaurants around South Mountain. I eat here quite a bit and it's always excellent. It's not Sonoran, nor is it Tex Mex or New Mexican so don't be expecting any of those things. It's different and good because of it. The menu is slightly eclectic. The standard fare is here, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc as well as a few other dishes that you might not find in other Latino restaurants. Breakfast is served and is some of the best in the area. read more

Tried this place on a weekday after seeing it on someone's snap. Let's get into it. While we do understand that the cashier was fairly new she did appear confused when taking our order and appeared that this was first time she had seen cash over credit card. Luckily we were rescued by one the dudes who worked there , who seemed super on point. We ordered barbacoa. As far as the food goes we giving it a 3 out of 5. The barbacoa was dry and needed more flavor. If u go here get the salsa as it can really help the plates that lack sabor! There was a general confusion from the girl at the counter that persisted throughout the experience. To include trying to hand off our meal to someone else. But again their star employee swooped in and saved the day. It was definitely odd to watch her walk in circles next to us attempting to find us but also trying to give it away. So the food was slightly above mid but u need to call ahead and make sure that dude is working because if not u may never eat again. Bnb read more

Very enjoyable experience. Wife and I went for a quick breakfast and got right in on a Saturday morning. Great service and Latino music playing was nice. Enjoyed our Bloody Mary and loved the ribeye steak and eggs. Potatoes not spiced much but did appreciate the perfect non greasy fried potato done just right. Prices are good too! read more
