The queso dip was fine, but the salsa was watery and lacked flavor. My wife ordered the taquitos, which were fine, but also lacked in flavor (in my opinion, the ones from Costco are better). I ordered a tamal with meat sauce, which was tasty, with a great flavor and texture from the corn and well spiced sauce (the extra sauce from which I scooped up with chips I was not going to use in the salsa). The service was also not very impressive, despite us coming at an off hour. Our waiter was a bit brusque, and seemed more interested in watching the soccer match that was on TV than receiving our order, checking on us, and giving us the check. It's a shame, really, because the interior of this restaurant is well decorated and otherwise inviting.

I had the lunch chicken fajitas as these are not available at most GAR. It was all protein and onions. No bell peppers and I was so glad. The flour tortillas are so fresh.

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.

We're honestly surprised Dos Amigos is reviewed as well as it is. We didn't really enjoy anything…read more To start, the margaritas use mix. I ordered one without seeing that on the menu, and it gave me a stomach ache, so I didn't even finish it. The guac was overpriced for the portion and too chunky. There was hardly any avocado and way too much onion. It's an easy way to charge more for less because it looks like there's more than there actually is. The soup and steak were fine. Not bad but not great. Normally I like to try flan and/or churros when we go to a new Mexican restaurant, but we were so underwhelmed with the food, we didn't bother. There are so many great Mexican restaurants in the area, and I'd recommend any of those instead.

My wife and I were in the mood for fajitas and were looking for a different option to our usual Tex…read moreMex choices. After reading some reviews, we decided to give Dos Hermanos a try. They emphasized fajitas as being a featured item on their extensive menu, and reviews seemed quite positive, so hey...why not give it a try? We arrived around 4 and sat at the bar. We were the only customers at the time which seemed a little odd since it was a Friday and a very pleasant day outside. We were greeted by the bartender/server and given complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were quite nice. We also had basic salted rim jalapeno margaritas, which were ok. Not bad, not outstanding, they were poured out of a large plastic jug. We then opted to split the steak and shrimp fajitas with the usual accompaniment of guacamole, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, refried beans and rice. For $28.99, this was a huge disappointment. 3 shrimp and 5 strips of thin beef with fried onions and a few peppers. The shrimp was actually tasty and very well seasoned but 3 shrimp? Please. The steak was difficult to evaluate since the pieces were so tiny. The refried beans, rice etc were fine, but the dish was overall a total disappointment and a terrible value for the price. There was only one other party of people that came in during the entire time we were at the restaurant which I feel is telling. With so many other Tex Mex options in the DMV, I would not consider returning to Dos Hermanos again.

The Mac n Cheese was completely flavorless. It takes the award for most flavorless Mac n Cheese I've ever tasted. Plantains were good.

I would come back to eat the tamales all day every day! We got the chicken tamales and the green sauce on top was so delicious. I definitely want to try more of the menu next time because the taquitos and queso also sounded good. Our service was very quick and they kept refreshing our chips and salsa. Side note: the salsa was awesome. And the vibes were great too! Fun decor, dim lighting, comfy booths. The pricing is really good for the happy hour menu and honestly the regular menu too. I would love to come here for dinner and try the enchiladas! This is classic Tex mex at its finest.
