I always love their chips and salsa and Marguerites! I've never had anything there that wasn't good. Staff is always friendly and good service. Highly recommend! read more

Great food and attentive service! We had Popeye's Chicken and the Steak & Chicken Fajitas - well-seasoned and large portions. Just passing through, or we'd be back! read more

My husband and I ate here last night. The service was great! The food was very good and the portions were large. Good prices. The restaurant is clean and large. Nice ambience. read more

Had dinner here while traveling thru Kansas. Wasn't expecting a good Mexican food experience but I was wrong. Very nice decor inside and we were immediately greeted with smiles. Large dining area with booths and tables. Cool little bar area with tv's. Yelp shows it's located inside a hotel but it's actually separate from the hotel (same parking lot) in the strip mall located behind the hotel. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the carnitas taco dinner. 3 double tortilla tacos completely stuffed with meat, topped with cilantro and onions. Side of delicious whole pinto beans with chorizo in them complimented the tacos perfectly! The other two people in my party enjoyed their meals as well. Will remember this spot next time I am round these parts. read more

The food is amazing and in large portions. I had the steak stuffed quesadilla along with Spanish rice and beans. Hubby had the tamale and beef taco and with rice and beans. Everything was excellent. This is a very nice and large restaurant. The service was excellent as well. read more

they used to be good but now they are trash. The food is way too greasy and just feels very cheap it takes so long to get the food for what you pay you get a decent amount of food but not that much. read more

Passing through town stopped here. Very good food. Reasonable prices. Great service! We eat Mexican food a lot and I wish this one was nearer to home because I would be here constantly. Nicely decorated and very clean read more

had an orderof refried beans 3 tacos and nachos, the taco meat tasted like they used charcoal brickettes coated in starter fluid, the refried beans was more like a refried bean soup that half of it was spilled in the bag, the only thing that was in the nachos was ground beef, chips and some cheeze sprinkled over it. the salsa was like soup very little if anything no pica Deigo bland, there is better mexican food in idaho, texas I wont go back read more

Driving through and got the fajitas. Very unique but maybe the best I've ever had! Good prices too! Service was fine, but a little slow. House marg was decent! read more

Stopped in on our way to Colorado for lunch. Huge restaurant. Clean and nice setting with Mexican music playing. We ordered our drinks and got them pronto. Then ordered our lunch and got that almost as fast. Hubby got a taco salad and I got the lunch special. Some kind of fajita that wasn't really a fajita, but chicken & onions & peppers on rice & cheese. It was tasty and too much to eat at one sitting. Very good! read more

It's an okay Mexican restaurant.. The salsa is thin without a lot of flavor. The tortillas were stiff and cardboardy. Two of us shared a portion of vegetable fajitas and had more than enough to eat. We were glad the sign on the wall about specials mentioned that their fajitas came with cheese sauce- it's not mentioned on the menu anywhere. We don't want cheese sauce on our vegetables. The guacamole was strange- kind of soupy. Service was exceptionally quick. But most of the men look similar and we could not really tell which one was our waiter since one brought us salsa, snother brought us water and yet another brought us our fajitas. If we live there, we would not return to that restaurant. But we were just passing through. read more

Great portions, great flavor, great service, clean and well decorated interior- absolutely blown away. THOUGHTS- WOAH! What's this place doing in the middle of Kansas?? I'm a Southern California native where we call Mexican food just "food." I'm a little weary visiting Mexican places in the Midwest, simply because it's not what I'm used to. I was driving with my family from St Louis back to CA when we wanted to stop somewhere quickly to get something to eat. We tried Taco Johns, but discovered they close earlier than their signage indicates. Still craving mexican, we took a shot in the dark and tried this place as we noticed it nearby and it was still open. My dad and I were both shocked when we walked in at how nice the place was and how many great menu options they had. The staff was welcoming and fixed me up an excellent margarita in no time. The chips and salsa were excellent, which made us excited for our entrees. We took them to go and were blown away by the portion size and value. The only thing left was the taste. BOOM! Amazing. I ordered Chicken Mole Poblano, one of my favorites, and it felt like instant comfort food. My dad ordered a steak Quesadilla that was easily one of the largest he's ever had. Everything there was so good, we weren't even mad our original plan for dinner fell through, we were just glad we found this place. 10/10 would recommend and are definitely going to swing by every time we take this roadtrip! (Also, sorry for the lack of pics, we just devoured it too fast!) read more

We really enjoy their food the soft tacos were delicious. The margaritas were very tasty too.

Staff could hardly speak English. Food was very soupy with too much Mexican cheese. No refried beans that hadn't been fried in lard. We missed the fresh lettuce and tomatoes. read more

Al Pastor tacos were great! Others enjoyed their salmon dish, seafood fajitas and beef fajitas. Good meal and not too pricey!

Two words ... Felix Jalisco! So darn good! I look forward to this little place every time I drive through Kansas. Staff is good, food is plentiful and fast, restaurant is clean. read more

The food was great, came out fast (restaurant was not busy), hot. Got the chile rellenos (not crispy). Two big, battered poblanos stuffed with cheese and served with a red sauce. Flavorful, not too spicy. The sauce complemented, not overpowered the taste of the poblanos and cheese. Served with refried beans (+++) and rice. Well made classic margarita. Chips and salsa at the table, salsa has a little bit of a bite on the back end, but not super spicy. Service was fast, fast, fast and very friendly. Based on price on previous Yelp reviews, I was expecting much less than what we encountered. Very nice place, much larger than I expected. Talked to some locals that were in a nearby booth who regularly dine there. Always a good sign. read more

This is your typical small town Mexican restaurant. Located north of the interstate it is an easy on/off if you want something more than standard fast food. Service here was quick and the menu featured all the regular items. There is also a full bar which makes a pretty good margarita. I arrived here late at night (little after 9). Some other places in town had already closed but was surprised to see this one still open. I ordered a combo number three which is a taco, enchilada and chili rellano. Nothing special and did not come with rice and beans since it was three items. It only cost $9 so no complaint there. The taco and enchilada were beef. Here they only had ground beef. No shredded beef available so it is a little better than Taco Bell but not much. The rellano was just cheese which is how I prefer them. Again, it was good but average. Chips and salsa were ok. Salsa had a little kick which I like but mostly runny. In all it was a good stop along the interstate. Nothing to brag about but still a decent meal. read more

Food was very good. Guacamole was chunky and delicious. Had chile relleños that were sooo good. Only issue I had were the small children (possibly related to owners) were allowed to run around screaming. SCREAMING. Took a lot of the joy out of the food read more

Was driving through Colby and happened to come upon this restaurant. Ordered the Burrito Jalisco and a frozen margarita and neither disappointed. The burrito was one of the best I've ever had and the margarita was boozy but so yum! read more

We were stranded in Colby for 48 hours due to car trouble. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, El Dos De Oros Restaurant & Cantina was in walking distance. We were seated quickly, serviced quickly. Our food was presented well and tasted delicious. We really enjoyed our meal. 5 Star read more

Ok so I'm seriously Impressed with this restaurant!! The margaritas are Huge and delicious!! I ordered the Santa Fe Chicken for my dinner the other night. The plates are ginormous but so delectable and filling!! My husband ordered a Shrimp Cocktail for his appetizer and it was Huge and delicious! It contained chunks of fresh avocado and chock-full with shrimp!! The ambiance is inviting and it's a beautiful place to eat and to relax . The servers are very well-spoken and helpful. I'm delighted to have found this lovely eatery and I would recommend you visit them asap!! Bring your friends and family too. read more

Wow was this place a pleasant surprise! In this town where fast food is pretty much the only other option, I was floored by this place. I lucked out that the special was Birria tacos and the bartender knew how to make an incredible skinny margarita. I have to say I am floored by the seriousness of the bar options. I love a Blanco tequila and there must be a dozen or so at this place! The bartender recommended the flan to top everything off, and it did not disappoint. If I didn't live thousands of miles away I would totally be back here in a heartbeat :-) read more

Huge portions and very quick service. All at a reasonable price. Wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but it's good solid Mexican food. Plenty of options on the menu. If I lived in the area I would definitely go back frequently. read more

Very nice and clean restaurant, good food and great atmosphere. Margaritas were a little light on the booze, but overall we had a good time. read more

El Dos de Oros - people eating in a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Colby, Kansas

We are from Texas, and we eat a lot of Mexican food. I would say that we are often a little underwhelmed with Mexican food the further we get away from home, but we were very impressed with El Dos de Oros. We were so impressed that we are thinking about going a touch out of our way to stay in Colby and go there again on our next road trip. Everyone's food was great and the margaritas really hit the spot after having been in the car all day. We liked El Dos de Oros and would recommend it. read more

When in Colby, this is my go-to restaurant. It is always delicious, and the service great. I do wish they wore masks though, so until this COVID thing is over, I won't be going back. They need to wear masks, even if the customers can't because they are eating. read more

This place is making a great COVID comeback! Service was stellar. Great select of food. We ordered margaritas (lime), chimichanga with ground beef (steak and chicken option too), fajitas and el Chavo chicken. Thanks for making a quick stop in Colby more enjoyable read more

The staff were clean, the food good enough but... I got really sick from the steak and shrimp fajitas :/ Orchata drink tasted very diluted. Loved their chips and salsa tho! read more

The service was quick and the staff is friendly. It is a big place with lots of seating. I like chunky and this is not. My husband loved it. All the combination plates are beef, I would have liked chicken but that was in special meals. There are lots of choices. My food was hot and tasty. read more

El Dos de Oros - Beef tamale and beef enchilada-#8 - Mexican Near Me - Colby, Kansas

Best Mexican food I've ever had. Not to mention the massive portion sizes. Glad we found this on our way to Colorado.

New location. Restaurant was referred to us by our hotel staff. To say that our palates were pleasantly surprised is a massive understatement. As we enjoyed a very tasty pitcher of margaritas, then grazed on fresh guacamole, shrimp cocktail, chips and salsa, quesadilla Tropicana and a chicken chimichanga, we watched them expertly handle a bus load of tourists. The food and drink were divine, the staff responsive yet unobtrusive. Far more food than we could possibly eat, but well worth stopping again next time we're in town. read more

On our way to Colorado Springs from St Louis, we stopped over night in Colby. We are retired, getting old and don't have to do these trips all in one day to preserve time. Colby gave us a short second day drive. While I normally avoid restaurants in hotels and motels we decided on El Dos de Oros because it looked more like one that moved into the Quality Inn rather than being run by them. We were surprised to find a fairly roomy place that was really bustling on a Wednesday night. We also had pretty good food. We have eaten in dozens of these little small town family Mexican places. Some are good many are not. Based on one stop here, I would place EDdO in the good category and if we make this trip in the same way, we would eat here again. I had very good huevos con chorizo for dinner despite it being offered only on the lunch menu. I also ordered chiles torreados which were not listed (rarely are) and they cheerfully provided me exactly what I wanted. The chiles were very nicely prepared including well grilled onions. I had a great meal. Ms T had some gringo fare; ground beef tacos which she rated in the 3-4 range. We were in agreement, EDdO is an above average place for standard family style Mexican. I am giving them a 3-1/2 rating despite the clumsy name. read more

Really good food, reasonable prices, clean dining room and bathrooms, and the music is tasteful. A great place to stop at when traveling near Colby. read more

The food is great and margaritas as well. Great tamales and the waiter is friendly. Worth the place to visit for great food.

Stopped in for dinner while traveling through. The service was friendly and efficient. The food came out in about 15-20 minutes, piping hot and delicious. Appears to be a popular place based on how man people were also there. Was happy with the price and food. I will definitely come back! read more

Found this gem while on my way from southern Oklahoma to Denver. Wanted a local restaurant in Colby. El Dos de Oros did not disappoint. The menu is large, with something for everyone, except maybe vegan. The table salsa was unique and delicous. The staff was friendly. The portions were large, you'll want to take your left overs with you. You know its good when its packed with locals on a Tuesday night. read more

Well, this was an interesting restaurant. Wait staff was very cordial. When were seated there were very few patrons. That changed quickly as the evening approached. The beer was cold. The margarita was made with premade mix and not memorable. The food was okay and portions were large. It definitely wasn't the quality of Mexican food that we are used to. The salsa was watery and tasted like spicy ketchup. Interestingly, there was a large crowd waiting to be seated when we left. If the locals like it, who am I to criticize? read more

Mediocre at best. It seems the same ground beef is used in the tacos, burritos and enchiladas. The burrito just has cheese and the enchilada has sauce. Service was okay. The place was clean and staff were nice. read more

After traveling from Southern Colorado to Delaware and back, we stopped at Colby, KS for our last night before getting home - over 4,000 miles logged. Throughout the trip we ate at multiple Mexican restaurants to include several popular chains. We can categorically say we found El Dos de Oros to offer the best Mexican meal we've had in the last 3 weeks. To be more specific, we had the Pollo Loco - a chicken breast, smothered in their specialty cheese topped with shrimp, sides of rice and beans. Wife had the taco salad and do to its size, could not finish it. Thumbs up. Chips and salsa was typical and good. Service was excellent. If you are in Colby, do yourself a favor and treat yourself. I cannot guarantee all of the menu is great, but we will make this a stop for us in the future. R read more
