Dos Amigos Mexican Restaurant

I visited this establishment for lunch with my wife and had a pleasant experience. We were seated promptly. The server was attentive and served our beverages immediately. He thoroughly explained the menu. The Horchata is delicious 😋. It had a good taste, and I would order it again. I selected the Chimichangas from the buffet. My plate was full, and despite the buffet style, I did not eat much due to the filling nature of the meal. The place was busy when we were there, but it didn’t affect the speed of our service. It did not affect the food in any way. Contrary to most other reviews, we did not have a negative experience. I plan to return to determine if this was an isolated incident. If reviews are unfavorable, perhaps efforts should be made to rectify the issues and invite dissatisfied customers to return.

Dos has a very interesting interior with a lot of detail. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. The tacos were good, and it is a convenient place to eat close to campus. The best deals are on Taco Tuesday, when tacos are just $3.25 each.

Place was beautiful. Bathrooms need some work. Food was below average. Small entree and they load the plate with beans,lettuce and rice. My plate had a big chip/Crack on the corner and scratched me. I got steak and 1/4 of it was inedible due to the amount of gristle. I don't mind fat. Usually holds the flavor, that was not that. Salsa was good. But half the chips tasted dirty, along with the water.

Normally when we go to Dos Amigos it is great. This night our server was barely available. When we were done eating I asked two different staff members for our waiter so we could pay and get to go containers. We watched as he was told we had asked for him. He then continued to clean 3 tables and other staff members brought us out to go containers. We finally got up to leave because we had tickets to a show at Elliott Hall, then he came up to us and tried to say they were busy so that’s why he didn’t get to our table. When my husband said that we watched him clean 3 tables after we asked for him, he got belligerent. Love the food. Love the restaurant. But this waiter was terrible.

Food Truck Review since I can’t find the truck itself on google. The request for tips is in your face the whole time. Order taking and cook are not tip jobs. Burrito had a gallon of juice drip out of it. Other than that it tastes pretty good. Wondering if he didn’t drain the juice from the chicken because of the lack of tip…??? Picture shows juice after much of it was soaked into napkins.

It’s a nice spot with good service but the food was incredibly expensive for not being really good. While the atmosphere was great and on theme the cleanliness (such as the silverware and floors) of the restaurant should be questioned. If you don’t mind wasting your money on ok but authentic Mexican food, this is your place.

Went to this restaurant passing through the college town. Looks are most certainly deceiving . The restaurant is very colorful and decorative. Really loved looking at the restaurant decor. Our server was polite but that’s where the good ends. We waited over an hour to receive our food, food was bland with so seasoning . I ordered Birria tacos and they served it with broth because there is no way that was consume. They were even burnt. Meat was dry and overcooked on my daughter’s tacos. Was going to leave a $20 tip in cash just because the waitress was nice but someone at my table was confronted about how much they did not tip which I found very distasteful after the service was not amazing so I kept my tip . Would never return . Nice for pictures , make sure you eat beforehand

Everything was great. Clean, beautiful atmosphere and good food! Chips and salsa were good as well. Thanks, we will be back!!

Food is ok. Chips not the great. Salsa was good. Margarita was good. Saw our waiter 2 times in an hour. The decor is cool. Meh... not coming here again.

Very colorful inside. Love the decor. Both times I dined in, we were promptly seated and served. Both servers were very kind and attentive. The 1st visit was a wet burrito: plain and simple. Simply delicious. Loved the seasoning. Very flavorful. It definitely was wet with cheese so I approve. The 2nd visit was a chimichanga with rice and beans. This was tasty as well. Nice crisp outside and flavorful inside. The refried beans were different than most places, but in a good way. They had sort of a smokey flavor to them. Good restaurants like this aren't for pretentious people that expect things like fancy plating. It's just really good food. If you need fancy, get away from this city. (I forgot to take a picture of my chimichanga plate, but I did snap a pic of my husband's taco sampler. 7 different meats. He thoroughly enjoyed it!)

Razor thin steak dos amigos ordered medium rare and got tough shoe leather well. Sent it back and the one they returned was nothing but gristle like 1 cm thick. Lettuce was browning as well. Left plate 80% full, life's too short.

Great service! The taco sampler plates were incredible! Our server, Alfredo, was spectacular!

Took us 45 min to get served water. Told they were not serving margarita pitchers and we could only order cups. We weren't told all the cup sizes and only figured out our options mid way through ordering . The drink menu was poorly listed. What should've been an hour in and out turned into 2 1/2 hours of dining in. When asked about a sugar/salt rim we weren't understood and only one was blended when we asked for them all. We didn't get chips and salsa refilled and ordered guacamole, which started to brown by the time we finally got our waiter to ask for more chips. Slow slow service. Offerings were not clear with menu and communication with waiter was lacking.

Best Mexican spot in Lafayette. The food, service, and ambiance are great. 10/10 would recommend

You want the margarita tower? Not happening. Monster margarita? We are out of the glasses. Otherwise great food, fast service.

The food is great! The Mexican style tacos are authentic and taste similar to tacos I would get in Mexico. Everyday during the week they have an all you can eat special with Tuesday being tacos. Service is good and the waiters and waitresses are patient. If you would like to practice your Spanish you can ask them to speak in Spanish and they can help you with that. The inside is also very colorful. All in all, good prices, nice place, and good service. They're open till 2am on the weekend so that's a plus too!

Stopped in after a soccer game with the whole team. Ordered 3 pulled chicken and 2 "pulled beef enchiladas". The 3 chicken enchiladas were amazing. But instead of pulled beef enchiladas they gave me the nastiest most over seasoned ground beef enchiladas I've ever had. I took two bites and did not continue eating. Called over the sever and he says "yea they're ground beef". I told him "the menu says pulled beef" and he reaffirms that "it Is ground beef". And I said "but it's not supposed to be". So at that point we're staring at each other awkwardly and he moves on. What I mean to say is . if I was the server or owner and saw that happen I would at least swap out the enchiladas for a different kind or some refund. But no, no attempt. Also 5 enchiladas and 3 tacos a la carte is $40 with 2 WATERS!!??

We went here for Cinco de Mayo, and it was hopping! Our server was outstanding! She was super cute and had great energy. She was BUSY, so she let us take our time - didn't ignore us, but gave us time to visit while she helped others. The food was good, too. Lots on the menu.

Ambiance is there all the way, but my meal was not good tasting. I miss La Hacienda, mainly because we enjoyed the carne asada fries, which not many places around Lafayette offer (if any. I just tried them at Dos Amigos, the establishment that LaHa moved to, and it was terrible. No cheese, and honestly...steak tasted like it was ran through the dishwasher. Would not recommend. The Horchata was okay though! Lots of parking in this plaza in the daytime, but good luck finding a spot at night! Edit: and they charged us $40 for our meal that we barely could stomach... A little crazy on the price point as well if you ask me :)

If the horchatta wasn't the most amazing stuff I've ever had comparable to the liquid luck I sipped in Magdaleña seven years ago, I'd be ranting like a wild buffoon about the insanely overpriced and low quality ingredients, vomit appeal presentation of entrees, and the backwards treatment and lack of communication or attention to detail. But as it is, I will definitely be trying again to see if anything can be salvaged. As you can see in the photos and from others reviewing Dos, the food appearance leaves everything to be desired, especially at this price point. Tacos, burritos, and my chorizo plate present as a three year old's first try painting. I can't believe I spent twenty bucks before tip. I got a mushy chunky puddle of beef and white cheese. The complementary chips and salsa were tasty and easy to eat, combined with the aforementioned incredible horchatta and my friend's rave reviews, kept me somewhat sane. They told me repeatedly how good it is here, coming multiple times over the weekend. I suppose some items just hit right for some? I'm tempted to do more research because this hidden strip mall spot twinned with Buffalo Wild Wings and the trashy Neon Cactus is a full on magnificently decorated Mexican canteen. The atmosphere is rich and accommodating to large groups and easily fits a host unlike my favorite area southern grub station, El Nopal which is a tiny shack but infinity more authentic and flavor forward. Anyone looking for proper Hispanic fare needs to start at El Nopal for sure. Us five amigos dropped in her past Monday for lunch. I first assumed by the lack of English comprehension and huge menu that this would be a match for the best. The staff didn't really notice us after we ordered which would've been fine for a relaxed dinner event. They didn't seem to understand English either which turned out poor. I ordered the lynch breakfast chorizo special but I guess neither of us can communicate well since the full dinner chorizo and beef tray appeared. The others were happy with their meals but can't say anything is unique or crafted with care, again, a surprisingly bold strategy for the prices. There was some flavor amidst my cheese baptised beef but I couldn't taste the chorizo maybe due to its crumbled texture I only thought of cheap ground beef needing to be hidden in chili. A good time later we ended up with checks and despite the overall below average experience I'm coming back to try again!

I had a Grubhub order delivered from there and normally everything is fine. But this time I got a Diet Coke delivered to me that was dated September 11,2023 which is almost 7 months past. I didn't notice until i took a drink and it was terrible. I tried to call and whoever answered the phone was extremely rude and hung up on me. I wanted them to check the other ones so no one got another bad drink like me

First time in. Asked for Modelo 32oz draft, got a 12oz bottle. 20 minutes later, had to literally chase server down at another table (3rd time there) and ask him to please take our order. He was not happy about it and informed us the kitchen was slow and food would take 25-30 minutes. Seemed like he wanted us to leave. No refills on drinks when they were dry for 10 minutes. Didn't see the guy again for 30 minutes. Zero stars honestly. I will be surprised if this place doesn't close soon. Don't waste your time and money. Go to Fiesta Grill. Been there many times. 1,000 times better!!!

This is my Mom's favorite Mexican restaurant. We've been to Dos Amigos plenty of times, often without the college kids on campus. Tonight, the place was packed but that didn't hinder the service from the staff. While we weren't ordering margaritas, shots or mixed drinks, we felt like part of the party. The place was hoppin'! Our server was very friendly, explained the details of the menu and made sure our drinks were always filled. And the chips and salsa seemed to appear out of no where. I had 3 different types of tacos, rice and beans. My mom had an enchilada and her husband had a huge quesadilla. Often, a restaurant can serve way too much food and you'll overeat. This was the perfect amount of food. From the atmosphere to the food and to the attention of the staff, Dos Amigos gets 5 stars.

This place used to be my favorite place to go in town. Within the past two years it's changed so much that I won't return. The staff is rude and inattentive, and the food has gotten worse with time. The house margarita tower was sooooo sour one visit. Our group arrived 30 mins before closing and was waved off by the staff another night. Take your dollar bills elsewhere because this place isn't it

Ordered from here the other night. I wish i took pics. I ordered 3 enchiladas meal and nachos with beans beef an con queso. 4 soft tacos Big servings , ate on it for 2 days. So good. Like I don't have any complaints. Also came with 2 bags chips an salsa. I would definitely recommend Its worth every penny. To be honest that is rare to come by these days. Delicious

Not sure why but didn't feel well after the meal, service so slow and definitely lacked attention to presentation or detail. Would guess freshness is the problem, would think twice before coming.

Good food, good service. Had the vegetable platter, beans and cheese were yummy. Will go again.

I honestly wouldn't even give this one star! Our food came out like less than 5 mins after we ordered it which was already suspicious, and it was sooo cold! I had cheese enchiladas and the cheese inside wasn't even melted. The tortillas didn't even seem cooked, it was like they took tortillas put cheese in them, heated them up for not long enough to melt the cheese then dumped verde sauce (also cold, also tasted gross) on top. My kid got the nachos off the kids menu, it looked like wet cat food on top of nachos with a little watery queso on top. It was just not good and I'm not a picky eater at all. If you want good Mexican food I recommend senor tacos, taco Rico or el rodeo but save your money and do not go here. *also super expensive. We have 5 people in our family, usually when we go out to eat it's around $60/7...our bill here was $90 something! And that's without appetizers, alcohol and 2/5 meals were from the kids menu.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Arroz Con Pollo is amazing!!! Awesome service!

Don't let old bad reviews deter you - Dos Amigos has a great new look, great service, and tasty food (and Margaritas!). my friends and I eat here about once a week and are always pleased with everything

Where do I start with this fine establishment. I could start with the beautiful decor, the fabulously highlights the greater Lafayette area. I could start with the service, which made me feel like home. But I will start with the food, which melted in my mouth. When I closed my eyes, I thought I was in Mexico.

This place is VALUE. Me any my friend come to split the single meal and we can barely finish it together. Service, chips, and lots of tasty food soooo affordable. Service is very good, hospitable workers, and super fast. Fun environment and good music. 100% recommend.

Amazing Service!! The only restaurant I'll go to in Lafayette, has amazing food! Great energy and atmosphere!!

The food is okay, the "bouncer" at the door is rude. Never can get food and drinks you order. Forgetful and terrible service would not recommend. Definitely la hacienda over dos amigos. Simply put the guy at the door makes the experience terrible.

Great service, everyone here is so nice, amazing food, the marg tower is a must

Located in the previous location Poblano's occupied, this restaurant is Poblano's in all but its name it seems like. And let me be clear that is not a bad thing. Dos Amigos seemed to pop up overnight, and we decided to try it out this week. The interior is relatively unchanged, sporting the same colorful decor as before. I had the pollo loco tapatio, consisting of chicken, cheese, mushroom, and bacon served with rice, sour cream, guacamole and tortillas. This is your standard Mexican fare. Portions were a good size, the tortillas were warm, and it was all good. The prices were reasonable - I paid about $13 for this dish. We also shared a mango frozen margarita pitcher, and it was somewhat strong with a nice flavor. I prefer strong margaritas, but it was fine! Our waiter was very attentive, and we received everything we ordered in good time. Overall, I will definitely return here!

Based on my experience tonight, it's probably a better place to get Covid than quality Mexican/TexMex food. I ordered pickup. The seating area was full of maskless undergrads. The staff at the cash register and behind the bar weren't wearing masks properly, which almost made me cancel my order. There was no separate area to wait for pickup, nor enough space to distance myself from the maskless people around me. The burritos I got are only "okay". The chimichanga is not crunchy on the exterior as one should expect. And the steak in the Burrito California is tough and the rice is bland. Portions are generous, so if you value quantity over quality this may be a good bet. Also, maybe it's just me, but I never got a text confirming my food was ready for pickup, which would have been more convenient.

Might be the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I ordered burrito, came out lukewarm. Kids quesadilla was burnt. Margarita was not flavorful, sour mix was very watered down. Complimentary chips were also bad/stale. There were tables next to us which got up and left before ordering but our service was fine.

We really had a craving for Mexican food and ordered through DoorDash. Let me just tell you, none of the 4 of us eating were impressed at all. No one finished their meals because of the lack luster food and 3/4 of us did not get what we ordered anyways . We were all so hungry, we at least want to try, but no dice. I will never be ordering from here again.

Always fast!! Sat and knew what we wanted, got food in about or under 10min. Food always on point!! Has become my family's favorite Mexican restaurant!! Also delivery is always fast!!! Never has given me any mistakes. Must come!!!

We used to love this restaurant... until we got food poisoning. We ordered dinner for pickup and when we got home the food was ice cold. We also began experiencing serious stomach issues about 30 minutes after and called to let them know that something was wrong with our food. We wanted to let them know in case the food was being served to others but were quickly told that we shouldn't worry because everything was "fresh" and then they hung up without an apology or any other conversation. The man did not believe us or validate our concerns regarding the food that was prepared in the restaurant. Very disappointed about how our complaint was handled and will not be ordering from Dos Amigos again.

I went here for the first time the other day, and I had an...ok experience. But, I thought I should put this here at the top, based on other reviewer's notes: keep in mind that it is quite possible that an average or passable experience might not be guaranteed. I say this because this restaurant opened in the same location as the now-closed Poblanos, also a Mexican eatery, with similar decoration (Poblanos was darker and atmospherically more classy, as I remember it, though). I do not know if the management or the staff is different - but, assuming some of the staff, especially the cooks, were inherited from Poblanos, then it is very likely that the food eres on the side of inconsistent. As it was, the food I received was adequate -- I ordered one of the chicken chimichangas and a non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. The food came very fast, but because it was a Thursday night -- mostly dead inside. The portion sizes were ok, at best -- the chimichanga itself erred more on the side of small, but it came with a fair portion of refried beans, rice, salad, guac, and sour cream to pad out the meal. It was tasty, but certainly not worth the price point -- you can get a much larger chimichanga or burrito for the same price at other places, and it is often better. I need to note as well that the chicken in the chimichanga was dry, which was one of the bad inheritances from the Poblanos era, dried out meat, in the worst cases to the point of inedible. That seems to suggest that they pre-cook most of their taco/burrito/chimichanga-stuffing meat and let it sit in a bin most of the day, for it to get so dry, rather than cooking to order. No complaints on the strawberry daiquiri, other than it is probably on the small side as well for the price point. They evidently have all you can eat tacos on Tuesday (the all-American "Taco Tuesday"), so that is probably a great deal, given this place is a cut above Taco Bell, Chipotle, Qdoba, and the other fast-food Mexican places. That might be one of the main ways they stay afloat, though, as their other options are overpriced and not exactly worth going out of your way for when there are better options for Mexican cuisine elsewhere. Edit: Downgraded from 3 to 1 stars once I found out they serve microwave, frozen product, of which the chimichanga is one.

I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. When I called in my order I was initially told it would be ready in 10 min. I arrived at Dos Amigos around 20 min later and the food was not even close to ready. About 15 min later, (25 min after I was told my food would be ready) I received my order. After getting to the car, I noticed one of the meals was missing. I went back inside and was told it would be ready momentarily. I finally got my entire order about 40 min late. Skip to 12 hours later and 3 out of the 5 people in my party all had awful food poisoning that I will not describe. I will never be returning!

Very good food. I ordered the Fajita Dos Amigos, came out perfectly I also ordered a strawberry margarita very good taste... kids loved it to they got arroz con pollo and lemonade same with them very very good food. I recommend this place best mexican restaurant i've been to! good service.

best shrimp tacos ever such good food and drinks

I had tried the chicken fajita taco salad and had it delivered around lunch time when I would think things would be fresh. I wont be ordering from here again, my taco salad was soggy and gross, the sauteed veggies were like burnt charcoal in with the soggy mess. The chicken was definitely more than a day old. Not moist or tender but dry and over cooked. I had bought chips and tried to revive it by cutting the chicken into smaller bites and using a spoon to scoop them onto a chip, still wasnt salvageable... least the chips and queso dip was good!

Food was not worth the grub hub order, I ended up throwing away most of it. and my burrito was lackluster... like where are the beans? I'll never be ordering from here again.

Order wasn't correct so I called to have my burrito replaced, which I had to go pick up. They gave me the wrong burrito lol. Highly aggravating

wish i could give 0 horrible service, didn't bring refills or chips once took 20 minutes to get drinks, berated 2 of age people for sharing a margarita after they had both shown ids and got their own alcohol, took my food off the table and threw it away when i went to the bathroom after i got 2 bites then charged me 14$ and didn't even offer a receipt i didn't even know what i paid for horrible experience

Food was good going in but this is my 3rd time eating there. The first two times the fajitas and burritos were just too greasy for me. The list two times I had very bad diarrhea around 1.5-2hours after eating.
