Reviews for Dos Amigos in Alexandria, VA
I?m not sure how this restaurant received so many stars. We were seated without menus, we ordered before there was even water at... the table. We ordered mojitos, don?t. It was just poorly flavored seltzer water. The ?salsa? was just roughly chopped tomatoesand onion in watered down tomato juice. We also ordered queso, which just tasted like melted American cheese. For the entree,fajitas, hard to mess up right? Wrong. All of the food lacked any flavor other than onion. Don?t bother wasting your money ortime. Read more
Ordered takeout fish taco, enchiladas, flautas and quesadilla. All were the same taste, very bland and flavorless. I don't... think I've ever had a Mexican or Tex-Mex dish that had absolutely NO flavor, being that this is my favorite food. The stars areonly for Maria (I heard someone call her that) who was very friendly. Read more
Really amazing service, they were so attentive throughout the meal and even afterwards! I accidentally left a personal belonging... there last night in the outdoor patio and they held onto it for me overnight and were nice enough to help me before they openedtoday ???? I will be coming back for the service and the amazing food! I split a grande frozen margarita with a friend and itwas strong enough for the two of us. The food we had was really great too. Really homey atmosphere indoors and outdoors. We willbe coming back! Read more
Ordered delivery from Uber eats and was severely disappointed. The flavor was not there and the portions were not worth the... price. The nachos pictured were 11$ for 6 chips And what seems to be microwaved shredded bagged mexican cheese. I understandthe price may be increased from Uber but I wouldn't order them for any price. Would not eat here or order from them again. Read more
Lunch time was perfect. Great service. Great food. Sat by the window to people watch. Prices are good for Alexandria. Food was... very filling to get through the rest of the day. Read more
We enjoyed this place. The tortilla soup is pretty good. Prices are high with no lunch specials. Good location. Staff is... friendly. I would recommend this place. Read more
Definitely a quality restaurant. Was craving some Mexican food and this is definitely a great spot. The pictures will show you... the portions are significant. Taste was very Good but there?s been better out there. The third picture will show you some chips,salsa and guacamole. Ten dollars for the guacamole seems a bit much. The hot sauce on the bottom right of the third picture waswhat they gave me when I asked for the ?spiciest homemade hot sauce? they had. Seemed to be a combination of habaneros,jalepenos and tomatillos. The first two pictures are the three item combination for about 18 dollars. The rice and beansportions was extravagant. The shrimp, fish, and beef in the respective tacos were great portions for tacos. The tacos with thehomemade tomatillo green sauce and some guac on top dos definitely hit the spot. Fourth picture is the heuvos rancheros.Another huge portion. The fifth picture is the Birria tacos. Whatever that sauce was, was absolutely amazing. I would say theonly reason why I didn?t give five stars was because we did go at prime time lunch and there was only One server. She definitelywas working her tail off with about 7-8 tables but they should more evenly staffed. Sixth picture is the regular sized housemargarita which was pretty strong for 10 dollars. Last picture is a grande mango margarita for 15. For the grande that price isdefinitely worth it. I?ve been to some places their regular (only size) margarita they have is 16-17 dollars. I would highlyrecommend this place but would definitely say based on my visit, unless you?re a HUGE guac fan, stay away from it. Read more
I discovered this little place years ago and I've never been disappointed. I can't believe I hadn't already left a... review. Margaritas are great. I've tried maybe 6-7 entrees here and they all were great. The customer service has always beengreat too. Just thinking about the amazing food here as I type this makes me want to take the trip from MD to VA to get dinner.It's always worth that drive. Bravo Dos Amigos ???????????????????????? Read more
