Came to this unassuming Mexican restaurant in Byron. Dos Amigos is one of the few places to get…read moresuch cuisine around here. It has pretty limited choices around here for any kind of ethnic food obviously. Find something pretty typical like burritos, tacos, and more. This certainly isn't the most authentic but it has pretty good flavors and stuff. Best thing of course is the drinks. It's of course got lots. These are better than much of the food, but the food isn't bad though. A value when thinking about it. It's about $6 for a margarita. Add a buck to put in a flavor. The food menu has the expected stuff. It's about $12 for the Vegetarian Fajitas. Our options were kind of limited with all the meaty items. These come with bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and zucchini. Also comes with plenty of side items. These included beans, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo, rice, and sour cream which I left off. Also a few tortillas to put these in. There's always never enough of these. Good place to get Americanized Mexican food. It's actually a little more authentic than many local Mexican restaurants. There's meaty items along with some things for vegetarians.

The staff is very personable. Pretty busy Friday night but we were served pretty quickly. Ordered the guacamole and was not overly excited. Not chunky and felt "watered down". The fajitas rancheros were well seasoned and very flavorful. Only provided with four tortillas but was able to ask for more. So good flavor for the most part but not truly authentic Mexican food.

Certainly wasn't sure about this Mexican place in Belvidere. De Juan looked like it was pretty…read moresketchy even from the outside. It's at the end of a pretty crummy strip mall and that's saying nothing about the kinds of people. How bad would it be inside? Turns out not that bad to be honest: cheap looking but okay though. After thinking about it we went inside and got seats at the bar. It had a few others in there and it looked pretty okay. The menu is basic Mexican American stuff. It's about $7 for cocktails. Luna Azul is a blue margarita. This was an innocent looking but strong one though. As for the food, not bad. There's the basic types of stuff. It's about $11 for a burrito. The Vegetarian Burrito is among these. Very stuffed with onions, peppers, and whatever. Comes with a cheese sauce on it. The burrito without it is maybe even better it seems. Honestly it's a place that needs to be given a chance and not passed up just because of the sketchy area. It's for sure not authentic, but it's still mostly okay though. There's plenty of choices for meat eaters as well as vegetarians.

My friend loves the margaritas here and so we both got large ones and I upgraded tequilla but shouldn't have bothered. It's just a margarita, or I shoulda just got a shot. It's my opinion margaritas are kind eh, unless you really know how to make them super traditionally with lime, tequilla on lots of ice and salted rim. Anyway it wasn't bad, I'm just picky when it comes to mixed drinks. So I got the ground beef taco meal with rice and beans. It had some pretty runny "sauce" and the beans and rice were standard. I was ok with everything but not impressed quite frankly. Especially when the bill came. For taco meal, a margarita large it was $36 before tip. Making it in the forties with tip seems just kinda ridiculous. I know prices have gone up everywhere but geez. I probably won't make a trip to go again but overall just ok, except for prices. Friends looked good. Service was great anyway.

I opened up Yelp and found this little taqueria in the cute downtown of Belvedere so we decided to stop here. The inside definitely makes you feel like you're at a family owned restaurant. It reminds me of all of the pizzerias I went to as a kid in New York. The staff are all incredibly friend and funny and were cracking jokes the whole time to our table. They offer a wide selection of Mexican specialties from some of the more common ones to some of the harder to find ones. Lately, I've been on a Gordita kick so I ordered the Gordita dinner. The rice and beans were so good, and the fresh tortillas, along with the beautiful meat inside were all perfect. I wasn't expecting to have such incredible Mexican in this part of the US, but I need to reassess my biased because this was fantastic. Highly recommend!

The greater Rockford area is a treasure trove of Italian Beef and tavern pizza but a Mexican food desert.... Last week I tried Cantina Tacos, Plaza Los Panchos and El Jefe..... the other Mexican Food places in the area have horrific ratings on Yelp!!! I have to say that El Jefe es el jefe!!! For those of you that forgot your high school Spanish: "El Jefe" means "the Boss". Decent chips and salsa to start. Probably the best in the area... Carne Asada (steak) was very tasty I liked the double tortillas and the fact that they were thrown in the flat top. My favorite was something I don't normally get: carnitas! (Shredded pork) as flavorful as pork can get, seemed like it was crisped up (Fryer?) Rice was fantastic and an incredible deal!! Service was great. It was previously a fast food place so not fancy inside but gets the job done. I liked the comfortable booths. The place was busy so that's encouraging.... I will be back.
