Came to this unassuming Mexican restaurant in Byron. Dos Amigos is one of the few places to get such cuisine around here. It has pretty limited choices around here for any kind of ethnic food obviously. Find something pretty typical like burritos, tacos, and more. This certainly isn't the most authentic but it has pretty good flavors and stuff. Best thing of course is the drinks. It's of course got lots. These are better than much of the food, but the food isn't bad though. A value when thinking about it. It's about $6 for a margarita. Add a buck to put in a flavor. The food menu has the expected stuff. It's about $12 for the Vegetarian Fajitas. Our options were kind of limited with all the meaty items. These come with bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and zucchini. Also comes with plenty of side items. These included beans, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo, rice, and sour cream which I left off. Also a few tortillas to put these in. There's always never enough of these. Good place to get Americanized Mexican food. It's actually a little more authentic than many local Mexican restaurants. There's meaty items along with some things for vegetarians. read more

We went there 3 times in 2 days, we were at a wrestling tournament. The Margaritas were Perfect. The salsa was just right not too spicy. The roof was delicious , there was 5 of us, the 2 dinners we had were different and could not of been better. Years ago we stayed in Old Mexico in San Diego , my husband has always said it was the best food. Now he says this restaurant was the BEST. Waiters and Waitress were so kind and nice. It's an hour from our house, we will be going back!!!! read more

As a former Southern California resident for 18 years, I'm always on the hunt for authentic Mexican cuisine. Walking in, it has the look and feel of a touristy type place meets dive bar. The staff is very personable. Pretty busy Friday night but we were served pretty quickly. Ordered the guacamole and was not overly excited. Not chunky and felt "watered down". The fajitas rancheros were well seasoned and very flavorful. Only provided with four tortillas but was able to ask for more. So good flavor for the most part but not truly authentic Mexican food. read more

Dos Amigos Mexican Restaraunt - Fajitas Rancheros - Mexican Near Me - Byron, Illinois

They almost ever time make a burrito; incorrectly after going over with order, taker 3 times! Plus, they charge customers a fee to eat there over and above their restaurant menu cost, they charge customers to pay the fees. Their businesses are supposed to pay.! read more

Food was good, margaritas were excellent. 5 people in our group at 5p on Saturday afternoon. Food came out very quickly. 2 people were still eating and waitress came asking if we wanted any boxes. When she brought the boxes back, the 2 people were still eating & she brings the check also (?) We were going to order a 2nd margarita but I guess she felt she didnt need to come check on us again since she had already slipped us the check...which was not itemized, just our food items and total owed. I have never felt so rushed to eat & leave! Later on a guy in our group mentioned that when he went to the restroom one of the kitchen staff was coming out. Its a single bathroom & there was NO soap in the dispenser!! We had already eaten when this actually occurred read more

There was plenty of parking and entry was somewhat handicap accessible. The restaurant inside and out looked clean and well kept. The restroom was very clean and handicap accessible. I wouldn't say the service was great, it was ok nothing good or bad stands out no was overly friendly or that efficient. The food was ok some of our plates were very hot while one wasn't even warm. The flavor of the rice was very good and we all enjoyed it. The chips were unique and tasty. The salsa was very good both the mild and the house made hot was outstanding. The chimichanga was good but nothing different than most chimi's. The cheese quesadilla was flat, dried out and flavorless. The cobo plate was ok, the taco consisted of shell, ground beef and lettuce. The burrito was ground beef wrapped in a flour shell with a little tiny bit of cheese on top. The enchilada was ground beef wrapped in a shell with a little red sauce on it. The meat was the same in all of them and it was very light on flavor. The prices were consistent with most Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

We came in around noon on a Saturday and got seated right away and the sever came quickly with warm nachos and salsa. The salsa was blended to a sauce and a little bland but okay. I ordered the chicken taquitos and my husband ordered a burrito which came with rice and beans. The taquitos were greasy to the point the grease was dripping onto the plate. So unfortunately that overpowered the whole flavor. It was served with a pico de gallo which was on it's way out and guacamole that was just okay. My husband said his burrito was bland but the rice and beans were good. It is cute inside and a little worn but clean. read more

Dos Amigos Mexican Restaraunt - Chicken taquitos - Mexican Near Me - Byron, Illinois

Great, simple, authentic Mexican. We've had a huge variety of items up and down their menu and have never been disappointed. Carne asada tacos and steak burrito are my favorites. Chimichanga and grilled chicken quesadilla are always winners. Solid fajitas. Great staff. High quality and fast take out. read more

I know people seem to rave about this restaurant but I can't agree! Today I had the WORST taco salad there I've ever had! Soggy shell, runny cheese, gray looking hamburger and one slice of sad looking tomato! It was really awful!! read more

Very blah. Quality has declined so much over the years. Can't think of a redeeming quality to post.

If you're in town, GO HERE. Get yourself a marg, eat some chips and salsa, order a grilled chicken quesadilla and indulge. Though it's basic, it's fantastic - they know how to properly make the food taste phenomenal with so little ingredients. Also suggest the pitchers of margs if you're not alone! read more

I needed new soles for my shoes so I ordered the steak. Why's the food so tasteless. learn how to cook before opening a restaurant.

Sorry but extremely disappointed. Stop in occasionally passing through town. Food was cold and extremely below average. Restaurant was also very dirty. Ate less than half the meal and left early. Will try again and hopefully things will improve. Service was fast and friendly. read more

One of the bestt Mexican restaurants in Illinois, they have really great customer service, alll employees with help you when you're enjoying your meal, great food. read more

Great combination dinners at great prices. Margaritas pictures are also priced below most places. Staff and waitresses prompt. No watery salsa. read more

Dos is apparently known for their margaritas. They certainly aren't known for their food or service. The food is bland- I can make much better Mexican rice than theirs just by following the Pioneer Woman's recipe. The service is slow, food is slow coming out of the kitchen. I think if you're going there to drink, it's fine. If you're going there because it's Byron and there aren't many options, it's fine. If you're going there for decent food, pick someplace else. read more

I heard good things about this place so I was just excited to give it a try. I don't get the hype at all. Maybe that's because it's the only Mexican restaurant in Byron so people set the bar really low. My husband and I both agreed we wouldn't go back. read more

Worst Mexican food I ever had! Nachos Supreme were more like a tasteless chicken salad. Steak Burrito Supreme is just awful! Even simple complementary salsa with chips no good! Wasted $20 stopping there, honestly terrible food ! read more

This is by far the best Mexican food around northern Illinois! My husband and I and our sons and their families eat here and the Dos Amigos in Oregon often. We have never been disappointed! Portions are big and delicious! I highly recommend read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant of all time. I would totally recommend it to anyone who's passing through Byron. I'd go to the original Byron restaurant but the Oregon location is also very good. Every time I eat there I can't go without having there beans and rice. If you like spice go for the green hot sauce. read more

Cheerful atmosphere, delicious food, good service, good price. We had the fajitas. Sooo good. Would definitely dine here again.

I do not live in the area, but stopped here on my way to another destination. The service was prompt and the wait staff very friendly. I was not impressed with the food. I ordered the two enchilada plate. While it was delivered promptly, and was hot, it had zero flavor. The ground beef was the consistency of a pate' and all the ingredients on the plate had absolutely no flavor--enchiladas, ranchero sauce, beans and rice--not even salt. I was very disappointed. read more
