The acoustics are horrendous. We were in the dining room and it sounded like we were sitting next to the blender. It was about half full with diners and it sounds like 50 people present. My husbands shrimp chimichanga was very good with a nice flavor. My chili tells I was good, no heat, and small. The enchilada's tortilla edges were so dry and tuff that I couldn't cut them with a knife. After trying to eat one bite, I gave up. The waitress did try to take it back but I never send anything back (you never know what may be added. That's just me). Not a good experience. The waitress was very attentive and did a great job! read more

Disgusting and unclean..... Watched the server wipe down the table we were being seated at with our silverware. Might be okay if Moe's or Chipotle is closed. read more

Absolutely delicious! Hats off to the chef! Perfect quesadillas! Crispy but not greasy! Extra special thanks for adding broccoli to my order! read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the DeLand area. Their salsas and queso has lots flavors. Their lunch menu is has a huge selection. They also have a full bar. The servers are very friendly. read more

Los Dos Compadres - 3 Crispy Tacos Platter - Mexican Near Me - DeLand, Florida

I had the combo plate with three tacos and an enchilada, rice and beans. One bite of the enchilada and I knew it was not good. The ground beef inside was OVER GROUND. It was like eating already-chewed meat. It was not seasoned enough. Ate a taco, same thing. Yash meat, had to season that as well. They were generous with the sour cream, though. I actually think Taco Bell tacos are better! I only ate the refried beans (after seasoning them). I am not a picky eater and what I don't eat I'll box up and take home for later. Not this time, "Please, just take it away..."Salsa tasted just like canned tomatoes. The queso dip I ordered was pretty decent. It had a creamy taste and texture, but it can't make up for the lousy meal. Won't be back. read more

We have been here numerous times. The service and food has always been great. My wife and I split the Parrillada and loved it! Workers keep the place clean! We will be back! read more

Great Mexican food, and exceptional service. The people are very genuine, which makes the experience. I typically order the $1.50 tacos, and they are fabulous. If you order those, I highly recommend trying out the chorizo for choice of meat on tacos. Besides the $1.50 tacos, there is a large selection on the menu. I've had the beef enchiladas, and loved them. Everything is authentic, and tastes great. I doubt you could go wrong here. read more

I have dined here on two occasions and have left disappointed each time. The service is wonderful but the food is bland. I would not recommend this restaurant to family or friends. read more

Very very very average Tex Mex and really horrible service. Server never came back once our food came and we had to go to the bar to get our bill. When asked how everything was, we said "horrible". No one even tried to see what the issue was or what needed to be done to correct it. Will never be back. read more

Pretty good food. In an unfortunate location; depending on where you're coming from you have to u-turn. Service was great very prompt. I got my food promptly and they serve free salary and chips. Don't worry you get spicy and mild! Only been to one mexican resturaunt that was better. read more

Los Dos Compadres - Inside - Mexican Near Me - DeLand, Florida

Very good very authentic Mexican food. While I would agree with others that the red (mild) salsa is a little bland, the green (medium/hot) salsa is tasty and hot enough to make you feel it and not hot enough to ruin your upcoming meal. The sheer amount of free chips and salsa should easily suffice as an appetizer, which is good because there are actually very few on offer, especially compared with the HUGE amount of entrees and specials on the rest of the menu. Every dish Ive had has been delicious, although I must admit, of the six or seven times Ive been there, Ive had the Compadres Burrito at least four times. All of the side dishes are great, tacos, tostadas, fajitas, burritos, all very authentic and well prepared, and you can have combinations of anything and everything you want. The sodas are humungous, this sure isnt New York City, Bloomberg would have a fit! The margaritas are fantastic, and at least on Sundays they are two for one. Everyone of the staff Ive ever encountered has been genuinely friendly and openly welcoming. You cant walk in there without everyone saying hello. You cant walk out without them telling you to have a good evening. The service itself is excellent, our wait staff always takes great care of us and the owner is always around making sure things run smoothly. On one visit, there was live music. On this occasion it was a singer/guitar player singing "American" music and he was very good. To be honest, I dont usually enjoy live music while Im eating but the volume was not too loud and his playlist was not bad so Id say the overall effect was a positive one. If there is no live music the radio plays Mexican music at a very reasonable level and it sets a good atmosphere to enjoy the food. Anyone coming down 17/92 from Deland will have to make a u-turn on International to get there but the parking lot is huge and the restaurant is too, Ive never had to wait for a table, nor too long for the food to arrive. Highly recommended. read more

We came once out here when we where in town n had amazing service... now that we officially moved out here in Daytona we came back to visit n eat again n our waitress Clarise sorry if I spelled it wrong love but she was amazing great service the last time we had her too thanks u read more

They are going to move from their current place to 548 E International Speedway Blvd. Deland, FL 32724. This is one of the many, respectable Mexican Restaurants in Deland. I wouldn't say that it is my favorite, but it is not bad. They need to work on their salsas. They give you a red and a green salsa. Neither were very flavorful. I hadn't been there in a while, so maybe it was an off night. The cheese dip and the chips were very good. I tried their fish tacos, which were grilled Tilapia. They were good. Not the best I have had. Everyone else had combo platters and cleaned their plates. This is definitely worth a try. They also have a lot of good lunch specials to sample. read more

My husband and I love this place. Food is fresh and excellent service. Our waiter Jose was very pleasent and courteous and catered to our needs. We love their drink specials. We definitely will be back. read more

Los Dos Compadres - Great margaritas!! - Mexican Near Me - DeLand, Florida

This is my favorite mexican food restaurant in town. The food and service are excellent. Great experience every time!

Just don't know where to start, Horrible food. I order a plate of Fajitas to go. They were on cold. Not only they forgot to give me the tortillas, but when they gave me the tortillas they were super cold just like the horrible fajitas. The server tries to give us a lesson on how to handle cold tortillas. He said when you get home put them on a damp paper towel and in the microwave hahaha. I order to go so I wouldn't have to do anything other than to eat the food. Well little did I know that everything was cold. Lol, I went back to get my money back and the server said no let us make it better will remake your entire order. I guess they tried they now add it on onions and bell pepper to the fajitas that they had forgotten to put in the first place. The first set of fajitas was just meat no veggies at all. They gave me the same beans, they were cold just like I have returned them. They could have taken the time to make me happy and I wouldn't be here written this review about them. read more

Best authentic Mexican food I've had in a while! We each had the "Speedy Gonzalez" which came with a burrito of your choice, a hard taco, rice and beans. The churros were delicious as well as the sopapilla. The staff was friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. read more

Dude it's really good I love the quesadillas I get them every time with beans with cheese on them and rice and I mix the rice and beans and put it on top of my quesadillas and it's sooooo yummyyyyy!!!!! Anyway anyone who leave a bad review is just a Karen and nobody likes them Bc they just want to complain u can never trust a bad review from this place Bc there is just nothing bad to review who ever leaves a bad review needs to get over them self and stop acting like the world revolves around them read more

The food was authentic, the service was exceptional and the wait was a little longer than we expected but it was only because the place was jampacked. Good indication of how good the food is here. You got to come visit... amazing Enchiladas! read more

I started going to Los Dos at the old location and migrated to the new location with them. I have not gotten a bad meal there yet. The service is usually very good! I am there at LEAST once a week for lunch, and sometimes for dinner on the weekends. They have a well thought out lunch menu, with unbelievably low prices that include complimentary chips and salsa (tomato and verde). The portion of food is wonderful, especially considering the lunch price!! The dinner menu is a slightly higher price, BUT it is also a far larger portion, and still in line with competing venues...lets not forget, the quality of the food itself is wonderful...no complaint. The Compadres Burrito at dinnertime is as big as my forearm. The chicken taco salad lunch is an amazing value, and very satisfying lunch, even for a large appetite like mine. The fajitas, particularly steak, are an amazing lunch value. The chile rellenos are a personal favorite. I like mine with the chicken there. That is not on the lunch menu, but they will make them for you at lunch...sometimes at the lunch price, other times at the dinner price. We have never been upset with the price or quality. Definitely worth the effort to check out. It is a family run local business, the owner, Horacio, is usually on premise and takes great pride in running a clean, beautiful location serving a great product. The new location also has a standalone bar for drinks after work or eating alone with a drink and the TV. Great atmosphere! They have a room in the back for larger groups or meetings too. read more

Fast service, really tasty food, hot and fresh. I am a fan of their chicken enchiladas and rice. The chips they brought out before the food were really good, the green salsa has some bite to it. We get the same waiter every time so it may be a family run thing, but he's really friendly and quick. I used to go to the old location with my Grandma all the time, it was one of her favorite places to eat, glad to see they kept up the same quality. read more

Went to this place for Fathers Day as we were in town visiting. Chips were stale, for the most part the food was good. However our son found a pebble in his beans, yes an actual stone. We brought it to the waiters attention, then never saw the waiter again. We were not expecting anything off of our food, but an apology would have been nice. Our son bit down on it. We saw the waiter show it to management, as a manager he should have addressed our table. We realize this can happen. Just not very impressed with the place. We love Mexican food and have been to many different places similar. I certainly would not place this restaurant in a 4 or 5 star category. read more

We had 4 different servers & all were very inattentive. Waited a really long time for refills. Went on a Taco Tuesday. Ordered tacos, enchiladas and a chimichanga. The beef was completely tasteless. The enchilada sauce was horrible tasting. I won't be returning. read more

To be honest, we were supposed to go to another Mexican restaurant first, but they were closed. We found this place and were NOT disappointed! We were there at an off-time, between lunch and dinner, so it wasn't terribly crowded. We weren't overly hungry, so we shared the #9 (two enchiladas and two crispy tacos). It came with rice & beans and was plenty of food for the two of us, especially since you also get tortilla chips with both regular and salsa verde. Hubby had a beer, I had a fantastic margarita. The service was very quick and very friendly and the food was tasty! read more

Three years ago when I moved here we discovered this restaurant and it was amazing. We ate there once a week and was quite happy with it. Then little things started to happen. Made a to go order one night and when we got the food home it was literally frozen in the middle. Ok, it was late and things happen. I spoke to one of the ladies there about it and she said she would credit me. Never happened. Then went there again a few months later and my niece got her shredded chicken in her burrito with a huge bone and fatty knuckle joint in it. We brought this to our waitresses attention and she just shrugged it off and took it away. Tonight we went and it was absolutely terrible. My grandson ordered the nachos and it was terrible! How do you mess up nachos? Each of the 10 nachos that were put on the plate individually had dry chunks of mystery meat on them, that were supposed to be chicken, with hard cold cheese on the top. This looked like something that had been sitting back there since yesterday! And when I tasted the meat on it, it tasted sour like it was bad. We told the waiter and he did take it off our bill but when my grandson got home he began vomiting. My friend ordered the burrito and same issue, no seasoning and the meat didn't quite taste right. I had the fajitas and although they were edible, again no seasoning and the tortillas were like rubber. Well, at least the ice tea was good! hat's it for us, we won't ever chance it again. If I could give it a negative rating at this point, I would! read more

I hate to give a bad review. This was the first time I have tried the dos compadres. I ordered carnitas and chicken fajitas. Both plates the meat was literally like leather. I love carnitas and always order them at other restaurants. These were by far the worst I ever had. Maybe because it was 2:30 on a Thursday? It looks like they microwaved last nights left overs and way over cooked them? I will try them one more time at a better hour. Anyone can have a bad day. If shoe leather is served next time I will have to find another location. Sad because according to others reviews this place should be really good. read more

Was so disappointed in the service and rice. Even the manager was awful in providing service. We barely saw our server and i asked for lemons 3 times from different people before i got them. I called manger over because i found what seemed to be a hair in salsa. Manager came took it and didn't bother to apologize or even bring me a replacement back. Rice was dry as if it had been reheated several times and food tasted bland. Everything from beans, chicken, and fish my fiance had. They took forever to bring us our check and when ready to pay i had to get up and take it upfront because they didn't bother to ome get. It. By far some of the worst service. My fiance didn't even want us to leave a tip, but i still did only because i i didn't want to be rude like they were. But they honestly didn't deserve a tip. read more

We have been in Deland for 3 years and had not tried this restaurant. However, coming back from Daytona we decided to give it a shot based upon Yelp reviews. I must say the restaurant was clean and very presentable. The requisite chips and salsa were delivered quickly, and we placed a lunch order. My wife enjoyed her food, as did I. It compares with some of the other restaurants in the area, but stands out in the long run. We will go back for dinner in the near future. Nice place! ~~~~~~~~~~ Update: 10/15 Probably our favorite Mexican Restaurant in Deland at this time. We have been back numerous times and told our friends about it as well. Everything is good here. Only had one instance where the Chili Rellenos were not as good as before; might have been a different chef there that day. Overall, high marks for Dos Los Compadres. read more

I am in town working and decided to grab some Mexican food for dinner. This was an excellent choice. It was also recommended by the front desk at The Comfort Inn where I am staying. I had the Enchilladas Verde. Great flavor and large portions for the price. Their salsa, especially the green sauce, is to be praised...delicious. I can't imagine how any Mexican place around could bet the food or the service. I made an excellent choice for dinner this evening. read more

We always have great service and food here. What can I say, taco Tuesday is the bomb and Jack our dog can't wait for us to bring him his taco. The servers are pleasant and we've been there every Tuesday it's like walking into Cheers. They know what we want bring our drinks and chips. Check in case we changed our order. But why change perfection. read more

A really nice Mexican place. We each had a decent margarita, and the chips and salsa hit the spot. My wife got the mixed fajitas and I had a combo platter with tacos and enchiladas. My dish came with beans and rice. We have other Mexican places to try, but we will be back. read more

Horrible food. Forgot to put in our app and had to ask for it again when they brought out our main dishes. Rice was dry and seemed like it was a few days old. Guacamole wasn't good and tasted store bought. Had to go find our server to ask for the check. Found him sitting down with the other staff and manager. Will not be going back. read more

I was afraid to eat at this building bc it has changed so many times over the years but this time its a hit. Great food. Tvs everywhere for sports and a bar. Im glad I have tried it Chips and Salsa was great read more

Been going here for years and today was the last time. We were seated and waited ten minutes before deciding to just leave. I watched as four other tables that were seated after us, received drinks and even an appetizer. We never had a server come to our table. I've been a server/bartender in my recent past and I'm quickly losing patience for bad service. Too many other choices around town that want your business. read more

Their quesadillas and Mexican style tacos are delicious! The homemade salsa and chips are a nice treat while the food is cooking

My husband had the 3 tacos made with chicken which also comes with beans and rice, while I had the grilled chicken fajitas. Hubby loved the tacos and the taco shells really were homemade . The fajitas came to the table sizzling, I heard it coming before I ever saw it! The chicken was grilled perfectly and the beans and rice were very good, but the onions and peppers were a lot over cooked. The red and verde salsa they serve before hand are nicely spiced and the service was excellent. This is our second visit here and I'll definitely go back. Oh, did I mention the margaritas are awesome! Have them made with Patrone though. read more
