    Great staff, good food, and a cozy atmosphere!

    I was excited coming in here to find out that they do a Michelada (think spicy beer). While I prefer this in the summer, I couldn't pass up trying it out in the middle of winter. I also introduced it to a few others that were with me who, all but one, really enjoyed it as well.

    I had a burrito and though they normally don't do a carnitas burrito they said they'd make one for me. Carnitas is on the menu but only in their tacos. The burrito was an average size, was topped with cheese, sour cream, and yummy sauce. It came with a salad and rice, both of which were delicious. Overall just a really good authentic meal.

    The table split a couple desserts - the flan and churros. The flan was really good but not my cup of tea. The churro was AMAZING! It's a must order. They make them all in house so they're done right. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

    Check this place out for sure for a solid Mexican experience.

    This is the best Mexican restaurant in Toronto - I can't believe it's been given  only 3 stars. This is the only place in Toronto that has a mole sauce dish on the menu and makes margaritas with actual real limes instead of a mix. Great food! Beautiful, peaceful patio out back is lovely in the summer time. The service is always friendly and efficient. I like that its location is off the beaten track too. I love coming here.

    Food was really underwhelming. Atmosphere was nice. Lime margarita was good. Churros were delicious!

    I have eaten here a few times and keep forgetting to write a review on it.  I like this place's decor.  It is warm and eclectic, so if you are on a bad date you can look at it or even use it as a conversation piece.  The staff were very friendly and accommodating to one of my requests.

    The food itself was ok.  Not the best I have eaten, but certainly not the worst.  I had the vegetable enchiladas and I admit that I could not identify all of the ingredients inside, but the cheese covered it up and it tasted alright.  My friend has tacos (I think fish tacos).  She liked her meal.  Didn't love it, but liked it.  

    Would I go back here again?  Yes.  Most likely if someone invited me.  I really like Mexican food and I haven't found so many good ones in this city.  They key is how your stomach feels later on and mine was perfectly fine!

    I love Mexican food.  It reminds me of home (California) & it is comforting AND nourishing.

    So, I was thrilled to hear about this place battling the typical Tex-Mex establishments that people usually recommend as Mexican cuisine.

    This place is classy.  Classy & filling.  We ordered the vegetable enchiladas.  Delicious & filled with an assortment of veggies - not just the usual suspects.

    & the churros?  Amazing.  The way to my heart is usually through cinnamon + sugar.

    A little off the beaten path but totally worth it.

    Underwhelming Mexican food.

    I tried the tacos for lunch, back in April, and was disappointed.  The place only had one other customer besides myself.  This might be more of a drinking place than a restaurant.

    Please do me a favor...don't waste your money!

    This restaurant was good many years ago but not anymore. It was really disappointing to have tacos stuck to wax paper. The "hot sauce" serve at the table was extremely watered down; in fact it had no taste.  As accompaniment, 4 small spicy marinated jalapeno peppers, it barely made the tacos eatable. The cactus salad was ok, nothing to remember, served on a greasy tacos and mesclun mix! The service was so so...and the beer was lukewarm. There are much better mexican restaurants in town...

    So bad....

    Greasy, served with a salad for some reason. The entire contents was brown, everything...no sign of anything fresh, just brown and runny. Wrapped in wax paper that sticks to the tortilla. I've lived here for 3 years now and I'm constantly amazed at what people will consider good food!

    Come on people, how hard is it to make a fresh burrito!

    I find the lack of Mexican restaurants in the city quite sad. Where's a girl gotta go for some fine Mexican? Chipotle? Taco Bell???!

    The menu in this restaurant is quite diverse, and interesting. I'm no connoisseur but I like to try as many different things as I can, and Dos Amigos helps, since their descriptions are quite appetizing. (It also helps when you see a dish with fresh salsa, beans and sexy tacos pass you by, and you can request 'what he's having')

    This place is usually busy in the evenings, and it's not unusual to wait around for several minutes, unless you have a reservation. The restaurant is dimly lit and tiny, but I never thought that to be remotely problematic.
    Give Dos Amigos a try, they made a 'tres' amiga out of me.

    Craving Mexican, and something that felt like comfort food on this windy Toronto night, I called upon an old favourite and knew i wouldn't be disappointed.

    I very much enjoyed everything on the menu every time I went.  Before I became vegetarian, I really liked their chicken with chocolate sauce (a seemingly odd combo, but very tasty).  And their martinis are fantastic.

    service is inconsistent. the decor is weird, but warm. food is very flavorful, but a bit greasy. perhaps authentic mexican food is supposed to be greasy? (speaking as a chinese person, a lot of authentic chinese food is greasy. for example, a few years ago hong kong health officials said that many dim sum items, including steamed ones, were high in fat and sodium.) in any case, i've always enjoy the dishes there.

    First of all, just a side comment, Chipotles rocks for freshness, health and deliciousness, in fact its better than Dos Amigos.  I do not like this place at all, the food is soooo heavy, my husband and I got such indigestion from it and those were the vegetarian meals!  I have eaten lots of Mexican  elsewhere and this place just does not cut it.  Its not good, and the service?  Terrible.. Twice they forgot about us.  We had been there twice with a break between the visits of about 3 yrs and both times they forgot about us!! I am one for supporting my local businessess but not this one, we will never go back..
