A great unexpected find! We were looking for something to early Dinner places after a long day of sightseeing and Dos Amigos didn't disappoint! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Their service and good food made our day. Hope to come back again sometime soon on our next visit to Alexandria. read more

I generally don't post negative reviews because I know the food service industry is challenging. This isn't meant to be an attack on the restaurant, but I do want to share our experience. We arrived at 4:03 p.m. and left by 4:46 p.m. Our plan was to relax at the bar, enjoy happy hour margaritas, have appetizers, then dinner while watching the soccer match--a leisurely vacation evening. The hospitality, unfortunately, was lacking. Although our bartender wasn't rude, she seemed to be in a constant rush to get us to order, despite the restaurant being relatively quiet with only a few tables occupied. We even mentioned that we were hoping to enjoy a slow, relaxing evening, but we still felt hurried throughout our visit. The happy hour margaritas were very lime-forward with very little tequila. We switched to a regular menu margarita ("The Perfect"), but even that tasted weaker than expected. As tequila fans, we were disappointed. We also found the food to be far from authentic Tex-Mex. Having lived in San Antonio, I realize that's a high standard, but this didn't come close to what we expected. In the end, we asked for our food to go and left. We found another restaurant where we could relax and enjoy the kind of hospitality we had been looking for. I don't enjoy leaving critical reviews, but this was a disappointing experience, and unfortunately, I can't recommend it. read more

We're honestly surprised Dos Amigos is reviewed as well as it is. We didn't really enjoy anything. To start, the margaritas use mix. I ordered one without seeing that on the menu, and it gave me a stomach ache, so I didn't even finish it. The guac was overpriced for the portion and too chunky. There was hardly any avocado and way too much onion. It's an easy way to charge more for less because it looks like there's more than there actually is. The soup and steak were fine. Not bad but not great. Normally I like to try flan and/or churros when we go to a new Mexican restaurant, but we were so underwhelmed with the food, we didn't bother. There are so many great Mexican restaurants in the area, and I'd recommend any of those instead. read more

Came here after a massage in the area after looking on Yelp. Decided to stop in after I saw happy hour was still going after 6pm. I had two margs, a frozen strawberry margarita and a spicy margarita although the frozen strawberry was still my fav. I had a shrimp enchilada with seafood sauce on top and it was amazing. I had to save the other one for my partner so she could indulge in one as well. I will certainly be back with friends. This food was truly amazing and big shoutout to Douglas. read more

Located across from the Braddock metro station, great location. Not a lot of parking in the surrounding area. Fun atmosphere inside, friendly and fast staff. This is a Tex-mex place, food is good if you are i to Tex-mex. Went for dinner, will probably come back for happy hour. Food was decent, flavors all very basic but hit all the Tex-mex notes. read more

We like coming into Dos Amigos for the atmosphere but we do wish they'd make some modifications. Onions are a fantastic complimentary ingredient in any dish but we find the food here, particularly the pico and salsa to be so onion heavy that we don't enjoy them. The margaritas are ridiculously weak and made from the absolute sweetest mix. Even the "skinny" margarita is so sweet it's hard to drink. I don't mind spending money on a cocktail but $21 for premade cup of sugar water is hard to take. Most of the servers are great, one of them is not great and her aggressive behavior stresses us out. We do like the restaurant and the menu has some good aspects. Hope to see them figure out the kinks. read more

Dos Amigos - Note the "pico" is basically a pile of chopped raw onion. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Rating as a bar only Came here specifically to get some margaritas and some chips and salsa with guac. The Margarita's were the house margarita which was quite tasty where the recipe they use has a heavy dose of sour mix instead of pure lime juice. This type of drink basically let's the sour mix stand out versus the agave notes of the tequila which is a nice change up to what I am used to drinking. As a small gripe, my Margarita probably could've used a tad more tequila as it lacked the punch that I was looking for in my drink. Having said that I could drink these margaritas all day long as they were that tasty! The facility itself is quite nice with both indoor and outdoor dining where we took full advantage of the outdoor dining on this nice day. Staff was very friendly and talkative, which I liked, with great follow up as well and seems to be a strength of this business. Overall, we really enjoyed our drinking excursion at this establishment. The outdoor patio on a nice day with the quality of the drinks they serve is hard to beat. read more

The best steak fajitas I've ever had, Nancy was great for service, honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Definitely try the fajitas and frozen margaritas. read more

Get the flautas!!!!! I cannot emphasize this enough, they are my favorite thing on the menu so far. I had one of each, chicken and steak, and they were awesome. Wish I had room to eat more! The steak was my favorite, it was tender and savory and cheesy and delicious. He enjoyed the chicken and shrimp fajitas, which were seasoned perfectly. We also really loved the queso with chorizo. The chorizo added so much to the already very yummy queso. If you order the grande margarita, be prepared, it is properly grande. I enjoyed the mango and he loved the jalapeño. The service was wonderful as usual and we can't wait to come back! read more

This place has ALWAYS been my go to! Happy hour on point, great vibes and good food! I asked them to make me something that wasn't offered on the menu and they said no problem, it wasn't anything complicated but doable! If you want some good food, good salsa, great prices then come check them out! read more

Service is quick and friendly. But I feel this place is over priced. Our calamari appetizer was $14 and we received 12 pieces. The margaritas are quite sugary. At the end of the night we felt we overpaid for what we got. We were going frequently but may take a break to explore other options. read more

What a cute little place. Came in the afternoon while my car was being serviced. They have wifi, friendly staff, and a nice ambiance. They offer complimentary chips and a homemade dip. Service was average- no complaints, but not memorable. I started with a Jalepeno Margarita. Ordered Alambre for lunch. Was disappointed in the Alambre. One of my favorite dishes, but it came out as rolled soft shell tacos/taquitos Alambre is traditionally open faced and loaded! They were still tasty, but I wouldn't order them again. Overall experience was okay. read more

This place is so good! There food is fantastic. I came here for dinner with some friends. They readily provided chips and salsa at the table, which is free. The chips came in hot. I got the fajita taco salad with grilled shrimps, , which was great. My other friends got some form of a salad, enchiladas and fajitas. The service was slightly slow and I know times are hard for all! We had our own table to ourself for a group of six people although make sure you ask ahead of time. They also had tvs everywhere, which was fun. Overall, the ambiance was typical! This is a fun place right outside of Braddock road metro! read more

The service is fast and very friendly! Came in on a Sunday afternoon and it was extremely dead. I opted for the green chicken enchiladas - my fave. They were very REGULAR. They were super bland. I dumped salsa on top hoping to add something. Nothing. Chips and salsa were good but chip refills are $1. For an entree and white sangria, I paid about $30. read more

Got food delivered from here via Grubhub. I went with the combination plate of chicken enchilada, beef enchiladas and the ground beef taco. It was definitely packed in that container! The beef taco was not very full but the other items were good. I also got the queso and it wasn't clear if that came with chips, so I added additional chips. When it arrived I had 2 bags of chips! So the queso does come with them. Overall it was fast and pretty tasty. read more

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Perfectly fine neighborhood joint. Heading back home after attending the DC kite festival, the missus and I stopped at Braddock Road Metro to grab tacos at Chop Shop Tacos ... only to be told they were closed for a private event. Thanks a lot, Obama. So we walked a couple minutes over to Dos Amigos. Saturday mid afternoon, no waiting, plenty of seating, clean, server Nancy was attentive - my Diet Coke getting low? Bam! Here's another before I've finished. Food was fine. Missus got sirloin enchiladas $(17). I got combo platter of a chicken enchilada, chicken taco, and a fish taco ($20). Everything was perfectly fine and came quickly. We left quite full. Is this a destination? Something I'd travel to eat it? Nah. But in the neighborhood and you're hungry? This place fills that need. read more

love love love this place! It truly feels like being at home. We stayed for hours and tasted their Calamari, Birria tacos, Tacos del pastor and Carne Asada tacos. All of them I recommend!! Last but not least, their 3 leches cake was heavenly as well as their flan. Stop by if you want to taste true flavors and enjoy a wonderful lunch or dinner that will keep bringing you back to this amazing place. Also our waiter, Kathy went out of her way to make us feel welcome, recommending what to eat and all of this with such a great smile. Highly recommend read more

This review will only cover the birrias tacos, the cleanliness of the restaurant, and the customer service. I give the birrias tacos 4 out of 5 stars. It was served with melted cheese, shredded meat (goat, I think), sour cream, and some sauce. I should've asked what the sauce was made of to give you a better description. The tacos were delicious and very fulfilling. I couldn't finish them and had to box one of them. Of course, the tacos came with your typical free chips and salsa. The restaurant was very clean when I went. No sticky chairs or tables. Glistening tops. Loved the cleanliness of this place. *Again, it was clean when I WENT. Idk what your experience will be lol. Lastly, I definitely loved the customer service. My waitress was attentive and very kind. Her hospitality enhanced my overall experience here. I'd definitely come back to try their birrias quesadillas or other menu items. read more

The service and ambiance were great. Really nice staff and a great area for a restraunt. The food was just really not good. I had the ground beef enchiladas and there was no seasoning whatsoever on the beef. My husband had a chicken burrito and said that the chicken had what seemed to be an artificial char taste to it. And also the rice tasted exactly like uncle Ben's rice from a box. read more

I haven't eaten in restaurants since COVID. This was my second outing and I just feel like the hospitality vibe is different. The wait-staff is aloof; competent but not as welcoming as the ambiance would suggest. This is a quaint, neighborhood kind of place. You'll be fed, and the meal will be hot but that's about it. I remember the days when salsa and chips were plentiful. I had to ask for a refill 3 times. I also waited to be "seen" to ask for the check and the, "are you good?" from my server came off with a twang of defiance (read, 'you better be',) each time she said it. The water was great! Food wise, it was enough-more onions than anything else with my fajitas (and I used every last one!). The accompaniment of sour cream, avocado and tomato I would refer to as "a smidge". I waited for my check awhile, and for my takeaway even longer. I don't know if this is a review of the current state of affairs economically, or the new normal. But I left sadder than I came in. read more

This is a bit of a hidden gem as most people don't know where it is except for maybe a few locals. The customer service is always relaxing and the keener is very friendly. The wings are good but the star of the show is the turkey burger! It's amazingly flame grilled and juicy and is paired with fresh roping's that come together so well. The seafood soup is a healthy helping and comes with mussels crab shrimp and scallops ima cream based seafood broth! It is definitely a great meal! read more
