Great Food, Great Margarita's

by David B

We went to this restaurant and was completely blown away by it!!.. Once you step inside you forget you are in Raleigh, I dont know how they come up with the decor but it is very cool.. We did have to wait for our table but I guess that just shows how popular this place is.. We got our 'Gold' margaritas and sat outside and waited for them to call on us, we were given a toy instead of taking our name, just another unique and cool thing about this place..

Once we did get to our table, the server was very friendly, she told us about the menu and the special then gave us adequate time to relax.. I got the Steak Tacos which had been highly recommended to me by a friend, they were SO right!.. If you go you HAVE to get them!.. Have read some of the other comments, i agree it is not cheap but then again, if it was I very much doubt it would be anywhere nearly as good as it is..

Overall i would say you MUST go and check it out..

• Pros: The food, the drinks, the atmosphere
• Cons: Waiting time, but worth it

One of the best restaurants in Raleigh!!!

by Mapis

Of all of the Mexican restaurants in town, Dos Taquitos is certainly the finest. From the outside, the appearance can be deceiving. The restaurant is located in a rather bland, non-descript strip mall. However, once I stepped foot inside, it felt like I had been transported to Mexico. The atmosphere is simply amazing. The bric-a-brac that lines the walls is unique and fascinating. While the atmosphere is superb, the food is what made my visit truly worth while. I had the chilaquiles, and they were the best I’ve ever had. Spicy, flavorful, complex….and most of all filling. My dinner, punctuated with a few deliciously strong margaritas, was completed with a plate of bread pudding for desert (I cannot recall the name on the menu). It was amazing! The spectacular food, plus fast and friendly service, made Dos Taquitos a truly unique experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Mexican food.

• Pros: Amazing Service
• Cons: Closed on Sundays

The worst: no value (small amounts of bad food)

by dannybartlett

Wow!!! is this place over-rated!! It is a mystery to me why folks patronize this place, or, worse yet, to claim it is a good mex restaurant. First of all, it is mexican only by the names of food on their menu (enchilada; quesadilla, etc) and the chips and salsa, but the actual food is poorly prepared, small amounts of pseudo-mex food (bad rice; bad refried beans; mis-represented enchiladas...meaning that the components promised on the menu are not necessarily present, etc). And, ooweee! are the prices ever high for a so-called mex restaurant! 12 to 15 dollars for worse-than Taco Bell dinners. I think folks who return to Dos T. like all the schlock hanging on the walls (partitions), making them feel as though there are in Juarez or some Latin land. I base my remarks on many visits -- not visits by choice, but because of 'having to' meet for social/professional purposes....so I know what I am talking about. In conclusion: you will do much better for quality at Taco Bell, and, if you go to Dos T., prepare to get ripped off for high drink and dinner prices. Bad, bad, bad..all around.....the owners ought to be embarrassed to serve the meager, poor quality that they serve...EMBARRASED !!!! (and they're not even Mex -- they are Columbian)

• Pros: they provide plenty of chips; salsa is good
• Cons: expensive, for the cheesy, meager amts of questionable food

Very poor service, very overpriced, nothing special

by Papasmurf

We had a party of around ten, got there around 7pm. They just kept bringing chips and asking for drink orders. Finally got to order about an hour later. The place was not all that crowded - Tuesday night. Food arrived about 50 minutes later. Several people at the table did not eat much of their meal and everyone had different things. A few had about 3-4 Margaritas and said they never tasted a drop of alcohol. Way, way, way overpriced. Would not return or recommend.

• Pros: Interesting, eclectic decor
• Cons: Lousy service that just pushes drinks, unimpressive food

Cigarette butt in the chips.

by dwoolfolk

We were looking forward to the good Mexican food, but couldn't continue eating after we found a cigarette butt in our basket of chips. We thought they were supposed to throw out the chips after each use at a table. I know that the food is supposed to be good , but we haven't been able to stomach the thought of going back

The absolute best Mexican around

by mkathrynp

Dos Taquitos is THE best Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is so cool--great place for a romantic date or a girls night out. Great Margaritas! Awesome Queso! & all the entrees are delicious. Only downsides would be: it tends to get pretty crowded, and having a reservation doesn't guarantee avoiding a long wait & it's a bit on the pricey side compared to other Mexican restaurants, but Dos Taquitos is NOT your typical Mexican joint.

• Pros: Food, ambience, Margaritas
• Cons: Sometimes have to wait--but SO worth the wait!

1 STAR PEEPS ARE CRAZY

by thebestinalltheworld

ok so my wife and i go to DT all the time. This is by far the best mexican food ive ever eaten. They prepare the steak for 3 days before they serve it to you. It is seasoned to perfection!!!!! The steak is sooo ridiculously amazing. I could go on and on about how amazing the food is but i also want to say that the atmosphere is also very unique. Usually you go to a mexican restaurant and see bright flashy stupid art and the booths are painted bright red. This isnt the case here. The whole inside is aged and has orniments and sombreros and writing on the wall and you really feel like you are in another culture. There is the perfect amount of candlelight to make the experience romantic and very cultural. The Food, drinks, and atmosphere are the best ive ever seen at a mexican restaurant. Ive probably been there with my wife 80 times and sometimes the wait is long but other than that it is the best.

5 out of 5

• Pros: amazing!!!! everything!!!!
• Cons: sometimes the wait is long but that just proves that its good!!!
