The exterior view needs tlc!
Glen C.

If you're looking for the best taqueria experience, as a frequent traveler of the US and someone who goes to many taquerias around the country, this place hits on all positive points, good service, great food, very nice atmosphere and fair prices. The only negative is their outside sign & entrance is not up to American visual appeal! Mrs. Raquel, you should have a better outdoor marketing presence, if you want more customers, good luck!

I was just passing through to get my car fixed but wow. The best tacos I've ever had in Florida. I had Cabeza, Carnita and Suadero tacos. They came out with in 10 minutes and were incredible. I ate them so fast I only had one left by the time I remembered to take a photo lol

Kitchen right there!

Since my fav Mexican restaurant closes early on Sun I to look for smthg else & similar. So ok, yes literally in the middle of nowhere but worth it!! Food absolutely delicious, our waitress, what a delightful young lady I believe her name is Yadaly (I'm so bad with names). Def another restaurant to go & most importantly "price is just right"!

Tripe burrito
Alexandra J.

I've been a loyal customer of Taquería Doña Raquel for years, and it has never disappointed me. The variety of dishes is excellent, but their tripe is what keeps me coming back. It's incredibly hard to find well-cooked tripe, but they nail it every time--whether it's in a burrito or a taco, it's always amazing. The service is amiable and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. This place truly has my heart because of their outstanding tripe. Highly recommended!

I'm still Coming here after many years. It's the real deal. When people ask me what my favorite taco place is, "Dona Raquél " is my answer. You walk in and see the pots and pans on the stove full of delicious food. Today I had the complimentary chips and salsas, steak taco, beans, and steak Gordita. The Gordita shell is freshly fried and so good. Service is quick. There is indoor seating only.

Chicken fajitas

My favorite Mexican restaurant is called Taquería Dona Raquél. Located on Sixie highway south of Atlantic in Pompano Beach. It's in an industrial area but we'll worth it. I go here a lot and had many dishes on the menu. On weekends they cook tamales in a husk. I had the chicken tamale. Delicious. Then I ordered a postone I think it's called. They cook the meat on a spit and serve it as a taco. Tender and juicy. They only offer this dish on the weekend too. Well worth trying this dish. I love the open kitchen and I'd you sit close enough l, you can watch the chef cook. The cook with love and you taste it in their food. Very crowded for a Sunday lunch. Servers always friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices. Mostly local Mexicans I see dine here, so you know their food is the real deal.

Wow. What am I missing. So many good reviews. Are ya'll sure about that.. Well, I'm sure. Unfortunately I'm not missing anything. I need to hold my tongue on this one. Didn't even finish the two tiny tacos. I took a bite of each. Then out the window unfortunately. I won't say what a waste of money. But what I will say is that was my monthly donation to whoever needed it. Very sad. One good point. The staff are wearing their masks. The woman who took my order and payment was very nice and pleasant and professional. Dining inside also open. Today is 6.17.20

These were delicious & very flavorful. My wife had the Wednesday night special for $25. She picked guacamole which she felt needed some salt. She had the vegetarian enchilada which she said was fantastic. It was served with rice & beans. And lastly she had the house margarita which she said was very good. I had the steak fajitas. These were amazing. I also had a PEARFECTO (Hendrick's Gin, Prickly Pear, Honey, Lemon). This was so freaking good. We will be back.

The indoor aesthetic is very nice and the service was great throughout the whole time. I ordered the birria tostones with the corn & kale salad. Delicious! My partner got the steak and eggs which she devoured, my mom got the chimichurri steak well done (great texture) and someone else in the party got the taco bowl. It was great seeing everyone enjoy their meals but the disappointment for me was in most of the drinks i tasted. The Paloma drink was too strong in grapefruit, the tequila mule didn't taste as fresh and the others i tried was spicy margaritas (they have a great selection of cocktails). I can definitely say i enjoyed the food portion more although the desserts also weren't screaming my name. It's a walking distance from the Pompano Beach Pier. Great for people of all ages and the parking garage is also right around the corner. We walked to the jelly fish museum after lunch. Great restaurant in a walkable location, happy hour looks enticing!

Absolutely. Here's one with a different opening:…read more Sometimes the best Mexican spots are the ones that do not try too hard, they just consistently put out really good food and keep people coming back. That is exactly how I would describe Dos Amigos. This place has that comfortable, no nonsense feel where you can tell it is about the food first. The menu has a lot of great options, and everything feels hearty, fresh, and satisfying. It is the kind of place where you can go in craving classic Mexican comfort food and leave happy every time. What stands out is that it feels authentic and unpretentious. It is not trying to be trendy or overdone. It just focuses on serving solid Mexican dishes in a relaxed atmosphere, and that goes a long way. Whether you are in the mood for tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, or just chips and salsa with a margarita, it is the kind of place that hits the spot. The service has always added to the experience too. Friendly, welcoming, and the kind of place that feels easy to enjoy whether you are doing a casual lunch or dinner. Overall, Dos Amigos is a really dependable local go to. Good portions, flavorful food, and a laid back atmosphere that makes it easy to come back again.

It was a nice and delicious surprise. Even after the traveling in the car, and waiting for me to get hungry, the tacos held up nicely and tasted great. He got me a pork taco that was juicy, very flavorful, and my favorite of the two. The other one was a chicken taco, also great in flavor but dry. They added some sauces on the side, one hotter than the other one, to add some kick. I also got a Passion fruit Jarritos, which is always good with tacos. He said place was following Covid-19 distancing and health rules, and was an easy process to order and pick up safely.

Tacos were very good although I liked the steak much better than the chicken. Would come back!

My friend had the Hellfire Dammation Enchiladas thinking it was going to be spicy but they were not.he likes heat. He had to put hot sauce to feel some heat. We both were disappointed with the lock of flavors both dishes had. I was looking the other customers around me and noticed everyone was much older and same ethnicity. I thought maybe this Mexican restaurant had tone flavors down for them. I could understand. The staff was great. Our waiter was great. Checked on us and gave good customer service.
