    Flautas
    Erienne T.

    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!

    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.

    Guacamole with salsa and chips

    Really delicious Mexican food. I had walked by here many times and finally ate here; surprisingly good. My guacamole was made to perfection and the margaritas refreshing. Pleasant staff. I'll be returning.

    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.

    Awesome Mexican food. The staff is friendly and efficient. So many delicious items to choose from. I especially like the fresh guacamole appetizer with hot tortilla chips and the enchiladas. Their fajitas are also excellent. I highly recommend Dos Amigos!

    Jalapeño Margarita
    Yaya G.

    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.

    Fajita Taco Salad
    Sehar M.

    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!

    Enchiladas
    Destiny E.

    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.

    Beef taco was lacking
    Brigette K.

    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.

    Pomegranate margarita, rocks $7 at happy hour
    Kelly M.

    This place isn't the most outstanding but it's really great for the price for sure. $17 for shrimp enchiladas! $6 wine and $7 margs for happy hour! The taco salad is big enough for a meal! They include chips and salsa for free as well. Conveniently close to the metro.

    Churros Sopapillas with Ice Cream

    Dos Amigos is our family's favorite restaurant in Old Town. We're originally from Los Angeles so we can vouch for this spot! The food is delicious and the service is welcoming and efficient. Right off the Braddock Road Metro, the location can't be beat.

    Sirloin enchiladas meal
    Matt D.

    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.

    so we wanted Mexican food. And this one was the closest one to us. So our service was really good, the food was outstanding. It was a great location because it was close to us lol. So I'm gonna go with the flow and give this place four stars.

    I came to La Estancia for a family birthday celebration, and must say, they did an excellent job…read moreaccommodating a party of 17, including six children. The service was excellent and accommodating. I was impressed because I know large groups can be difficult to wait on, so was very pleased with the service and how quick they were to get our orders in and us served. We ordered a variety of appetizers, such as the the empanadas, calamari, and garlic shrimp. My favorite items were the empanadas and calamari, which were extra tasty with the accompanying sauces. We also ordered a variety of grilled meats, including the two large Parrillada meat platters and picanha . The accompanying sides we tried were the fries, cheese rice, fried yucca, and plantains. I really liked the plantains, but the cheese rice was not was I expected. It was more like grits than cheesy rice. The meats were cooked to how we requested it, and of course tastes especially good with the sauces. My favorite cuts were the strip steak, beef rib, and picanha. I didn't really care for the sweet breads, but that is a personal preference. Value wise, the Parrillada platters could easily feed 4 - 5 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely recommend checking out La Estancia if you enjoy grilled meats!

They were not very busy when we arrived but remained attentive during our entire visit. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. We got a parrillada mixta, which means mixed grilled meats. It was superb! My husband had a cup of coffee, which was also good. Usually, restaurants go for generic coffee, and it's always overcooked. This was fresh and delicious. The restaurant is nicely decorated, music is playing, and there is a bar. It would be a great hang-out spot.

Our server was quick, friendly, and kept things moving without making us feel rushed. They actually have a true happy hour menu. Not one of those "$1 off" situations, but legit deals across both food and drinks. Everything we ordered hit. The margaritas were refreshing, well-balanced (not overly sweet), and definitely did the job. For food, we kept it classic. The tacos were simple but flavorful, with tender, well-seasoned meat and fresh toppings that didn't overpower anything. The nachos were good but in my opinion, the portion size wasn't worth $11. Everything tasted fresh and came out hot, which I always appreciate, especially during a busy service. The vibe outside really pulled it all together. It's one of those spots that feels lively without being chaotic...perfect for catching up, people-watching, or just unwinding after a long day. You can tell it's a go-to neighborhood spot for a reason. I'd definitely come back--especially for another round of margaritas and to try more of the menu.

The background noise is pretty high. That said, I'm challenged in writing a glowing review. Last two times that I have went there (most recently last weekend) the food was underwhelming. I've not ever had fajitas where green peppers weren't included in the dish, except this last visit. To the waiter's credit, he pointed out that they were not included on the menu; I am still surprised. If you are planning to eat at this restaurant at peak dinner time, have a reservation because that's the only way you're getting a booth
