The only reason they get 3 stars is the drinks are great. It was obvious to me that they cater to the taste of wedos. We asked if we could sit outside because music is too loud inside but the guy said they were only seating inside. He rolled his eyes when I said music was too loud. It's a small place inside and loud music makes it difficult to have a decent conversation without repeating. The next table had to talk so loud we could hear their conversation. We sat for an about 10-15 minutes before anyone came to table. The wait staff is friendly. Our waiter may have been new because each time I asked about certain food he wasn't sure. I asked for two carnita tacos with Cilantro, avocado and queso fresco. What I received was two taco with carnitas, lettuce tomato and Mexican cheese mix with a side of guacamole. They charged me an extra $12 for the guacamole! My daughter ordered a carnitas plate and was brought a chile plate(wrong order). We might return for the drinks. read more

Food is great ( Spicy or Not ) / Decor Of Restaurant / Margaritas:) service was Excellent & gave us time to order

Stopped by this past Saturday evening for dinner. Was greeted and was told to find a seat along the right side of the restaurant. I asked if we could sit at the booth near the front entrance, the waiter said that table needs to be cleaned. Then as I responded that I was willing to wait for the table to be cleaned up, the waiter/server with his hair in a bun just walked off and headed to the kitchen. We walked out due to the service, which was very unfortunate because we were looking forward to our dinner at Dos Molinos. read more

It's another 5. We just love this place, and yes, we may be biased because we're south Phoenix residents and support small businesses in south Phoenix/Laveen. Had garlic pork roast burrito and my spouse the relleno burrito. Helped to have a couple of house margaritas, too. Carlos always takes good care of us. read more

great service, great food, try to eat here whenever I'm in town, great margaritas , love the happy hour.

First time here and after reading the menu I noticed it's New Mexico style Mexican food. I also noticed the very high prices. I order something simple as I always do at new places. If they cannot do that correct then I know the quality, value, and service will be disappointing. I ordered the two chicken taco plate. The tacos were hard shell but very low quality ingredients. The beans were sour and rancid. The rice was dry and stale. Prices vary but nothing is less than 15-25 bucks here. Not worth it. The place had a decent vibe but just like the lack luster food it's falling apart and losing its charm. Service was horrible as the host/waiters are not personable and almost rude. I would skip this place and find something better as there is way better value, quality and service elsewhere. read more

We have been here multiple times. Great Mexican food with efficient service in a slightly out of the way location

The food is amazing. The carnitas were delicious along with the homemade tortillas which are the best I've had in years. Along with the prickly pear margaritas yummmm!! I had to leave room for the sopapillas . The staff was very attentive and wonderful and we will definitely be back and make this place a routine visit. Definitely worth it. FYI the traditional atmosphere of New Mexico is so comforting. read more

The food was okay. But I give props to the place since the service was great. I also enjoyed the drinks. They have good options with so much to try. Maybe I should try something else. I just thought the food was a bit on the salty side. read more

Love this place. I was told about this restaurant 10 years ago by a former player. I came 10 years ago and it was amazing. Now 10 years later I've come back. The food is just as fantastic as it as then. I love that this place has survived Covid. Small quite spot great color and decorations. Service was fast. Chip and salsa are great. The salsa has amazing flavor and a bit of a bite in their spicier one. It's great to know that there is a family owned & operated for place for over 50 years. It's a place I will make sure to go every time I'm here for work in the future. The green chili stew is amazing and so filling. Not to mention the low prices for their food. So affordable great to feed a family for a little cost. Can't say enough about this place read more

Beans are good and have great depth of flavor. Customer service is amazing! Happy hour was well Received and alcohol content is good. Chips and salsas are delicious. Things management can improve: -rice was dry -my friend and I had our dishes mixed up but we still ended up with wrong orders. She ordered the machaca and I ordered the adobada. Instead I got something that looked like and tasted like chicken and she definitely didn't get machaca because she's been here before and it wasn't the same. This was after they had said that they just mixed the orders up but the meats were still off so our problem was never fixed. We didn't feel like complaining twice so we ate what we got and went with it. My other friend only ordered one taco. Similar to something you can get at Taco Bell. When she ordered it she saw that happy hour stated it was a $2 taco but when they brought the bill they charged her $6 for a basic crunchy taco with chicken, lettuce and cheese. It was dry and there was no flavor in the chicken. She didn't like it and when she told the waitress it was $2 because that's what she thought she ordered the waitress said "when you ordered it you didn't mention that you wanted the happy hour taco" so they charged it as a regular. That is the most overpriced chicken taco I've ever experienced. No compensation or customer service from her point of view and I agree. Very disappointed. To be honest this didn't taste like authentic mexican food and it was a pretty basic experience. Nothing stood out to me in terms of flavor to really consider coming back. I really wanted to like this place because it's my friends favorite but I didn't really have a positive experience. read more

This is my favorite local sit down Mexican joint! They have very spicy food here, and they always warn me which is nice. I love how they serve both red and green salsa with the complimentary chips. I always appreciate when Mexican restaurants have multiple options. Happy hour is from 3-6 M-F, and the drink deals are awesome during that time so I recommend coming during that time. I got the Fresh Margarita which is listed as "lime juice, tequila, and agave;that's it!" It was very strong, but not too overpowering with the taste. Best and strongest margarita I have had so far. I usually order the chimichanga with rice and beans, machaca for my meat and both green and red sauce on top. The machaca is so spicy and flavorful. And the whole dish is good, the rice and beans are amazing as well. Good sour cream and guac. Our meal for 2, including a margarita and 2 beers, came out to $50. A good deal during happy hour. I don't get to come here too often due to them being closed on Sunday's and Monday's, but if you can come around on another day I highly recommend it. The inside has a great dark bar-like ambiance with good music. They also have a very cute patio with a fountain, which is good to sit in during the not-so-hot months in Arizona. read more

Excellent food and great service with traditional atmosphere! Definitely a local favorite.

Incredible everything, better like spicy food!! can't be the cool old school atmosphere.

first and last time visiting. can't do chicken/cheese/rice dish, they don't have flower tortillas, and i waited 50 minutes just for my food to come out wrong. 2 other tables that came in after me got their food long before me and were done eating read more

Aric was AWESOME... food was amazing definitely would come back for happy hour location was nice as well as parking

Came in for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised! The drinks are delicious and the food is so good! Our server Aric was down to earth and so welcoming. Perfect place for a date night! read more

Party of 7 they automatically charge 20% tip and after you order drinks (soda machine is broken) and food you never see the server again. You get 2 small tin bowls of chips for 7 people. We asked for more chips while we waited and they charged us $2.00. The wait staff were rude and the food was mediocre. Will not be returning. read more

It takes a village! So they say, we had basically 3 servers: 1 awkward water server that doesn't seem keen on greeting you, likely a forewarning that you should want to be there as much as this guy does! Another waitress that's eating and dancing while taking orders! Finally, a random taking your bill. Poor cooking, the street chicken tacos tasted and smelled like fart, we got ripped off on the bill but figured keep the cash, you won't last much longer! Margaritas are priced well considering they taste nothing of alcohol, and make sure you get the happy hour prices. Man don't come here for anything even a 40oz is cheaper at QT. If anyone recommends this place to you they're related to the business, have no taste, hate you, or all of the above. Stay away, go to Taco Bell instead! read more

Came here the recommendation of a friend. Really fun and kitschy looking place. There's a big patio in the Middle where you can sit, a cantina is off to one side and the restaurant is off to the other. Had to wait at least 15 minutes to get a table on a Saturday evening around 5:30. I had the garlic pork platter which was good but it definitely didn't have enough spice. I specifically asked for spicy and more green chilies but it's still just wasn't spicy enough for me. Next time I'll have to really make a deal out of it! Service was pretty good. They sure were busy though. Good chips and salsa but I needed it spicier, spicier, spicier! Call me one of those gringos that just can't get enough spice. I would definitely try it again though because the food was really good. As long as I can get it spicier next time read more

Great service. Only thing is ...if you ask for a tea to go they don't give it to you. After you have left over tea. They don't have any cups. But they do have cups when you ordered out. read more

Los Dos Molinos - Patio - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We waited for 20 minutes after we ordered a drink. The person walked by 3 times and never asked if we needed anything. Only 6 customers in the place. He and his friends were too busy talking to each other. Terrible service. Even after I told him I knew the owners. We just left without eating. I raved to my friend what a great place this is and hadn't been there in 15 years. I hope Sandy gets this message. read more

First time here. Had the cheese crisps and the New Mexico green chile stew. The latter was pure goodness in a bowl, with slow cooked pork, potatoes, and carrots in spicy NM green chile with a side of rice and a whole lotta magic. Really amazing taste. My understanding is that they can be erratic with their hours of operation, so you do have to be aware of that. These are the only things that I ate there, but I noticed that someone else said it tastes like a chain restaurant. That was certainly not the case with the green chile stew or the cheese crisps, which were obviously extremely well-prepared and very special. Great place, and a comfortable place to hang out and catch up with a friend. read more

This had to be one of the worst Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Service was terrible. After waiter dropped off the menus, He took over an hour to take our order. After an hour and 15 minutes had passed I finally said something. I ordered a Chimichanga which is essentially a Deep Fried Burrito with Cheese, Guacamole, & Sour Cream. My friend had a Bean & Cheese Burrito. It took another 45 minutes for our order to come to the table. My Chimichanga hadn't been deep fried and the side of Pinto beans were half cooked and firm. I told our waiter and he didn't offer to take it back and make it right. And then to top it off, had to flag down another waitress to get our check as our waiter magically disappeared. I didn't eat my meal at all. This was my first time at this restaurant and now will be my last. read more

Fire food. Fire service. Fire drinks. Fire prices. No complaints. Eric is the king and so be sure to ask for him so he can serve you!

Most delicious New Mexican hatch green chili in the valley! Amazing service - my favorite local spot.

I love this place so much. The food is amazing and so is the service! Can definitely get pricey quick with their margarita pitchers, but well worth it read more

I love Los Dos. I haven't been to this location in years. After picking up friends from the airport recently we decided to stop here for a late dinner. It wasn't busy at 7:30 pm, but it does get busy at peak times. The outside patio area is cute and a good place to sip a margarita if you need to wait for a table. My favorite meal has always been the enchilada dinner with an egg on top. I usually get extra chips to scoop up every delicious bite. The egg really makes this meal. The red salsa is a bit hot, but sooooo good!!! I've tried other entrees which were all equally delicious. We opted for a pitcher of beer rather than margaritas. Now that I've visited again, I'm excited to return. read more

When two friends from a Kansas high school realize they are in the same city in Arizona of course they will meet up for food and drink while introducing their families to each other. Our meal was good. Our drinks were good. The next generation got to build a friendship while the others caught up. The serving staff was patient while we sat in our booth chatting for probably too long and we appreciated their patience's. Give this places a try. read more

I understand the idea of serving spicy food, but come on! I couldn't eat anything. From the salsa with chips to the tamales, it was ridiculous. My friend who invited me couldn't eat her food either. She had to take it home to "cut it with rice." I asked if I could have my food without the devil sauces on them, and they would not accommodate. I get it, but enough is enough. No thanks. This was very disappointing for me, and this is my review, so it is what it is. If you like insane heat, enjoy it. Never again for me. read more

Held a nice birthday lunch for my sister. My brother was in town so it was a good time to meet. Since it was for her birthday she picked an old favorite, Los Dos Molinos, the original in south central Phoenix. I had the burro adovado with NM red sauce and beans. It was spicy and delicious. My brother ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. He loved them and said sauce wasn't to spicy. My sister had the chili relleno. She said that you could tell it had just been cooked, the egg was nice and light. Parking is ample. We were disappointed that the patio was closed. It was awfully noisy inside read more

Very good authentic Mexican food in Phoenix. If you like a little good spice this is the place. Their green salsa is to died for and their red salsa is to cried for. We ordered combo #1 & #5 with green Verde chili - very good the combo #1 was so spicy we only ate 1/2 the plate. There were a mix crow of customers from white, black, yellow and brown- there are rainbow people too. The service was fast and the food came out in timely manner. This is the original place and there was a story behind this restaurant. This restaurant was a former house of a famous movie star back in the days of silence black-and-white movie. He cashed and his car rolled on the hills South from this place. I highly recommended you try this place when you are in Phoenix. read more

Went to Los Dos Molinos for the first time. Was looking for some good food with heat.the family and myself were seated right away. Drink order was taken and brought out quickly. Food was ordered, only I ordered spicy, they all went soft. The red salsa with the chips has a nice kick that my family said was to hot to enjoy, more for me The green was very mild. The restaurant is decorated with old license plates and things of the like. Service was great from beginning to end. If you're looking for one thing to nitpick, all the food did not arrive at the same time. Two plates, then the other two about a minute later. read more

Showed up an hour and a half before close, were ignored for a good 15 minutes while standing at the register, waiting to be seated and then the gentleman finally acknowledged us only to tell us they decided they wanted to close early that night and sent us away. We were there at 7:25 and he said they decided to close the kitchen at 7:30 and sent us off. Horrible customer service. read more
