Ordered: Mamey Batido (~$7) Guanabana Batido (~$7) Grande Pan con Bistec w Queso (~$14) Aya's take: Once in a while, you might stumble upon a hole in the wall spot where you will have a very memorable meal and Dos Amigos was just that. For starters, they have free 1-hour parking (with validation) right next door which is a huge perk! Second, they're cash only. Third, this is definitely a local spot and despite a slight language barrier, the staff were incredibly warm & friendly. We ordered the Grande Pan con Bistec w Queso which is their large steak sandwich. We decided to split it and ended up ordering another sandwich midway through because it was that good. The sandwich is simple - steak, fries, onions, and cheese. The bread was the perfect texture and thickness, the steak was plentiful, the fries were salty & crispy, and the onions were tangy & bright. They're also known for their smoothies so we got two. Mamey is a tropical fruit tree native to southern Mexico and Central America. The flavor is closest to a melon, sweet potato, and caramel. I enjoyed this one but it's definitely on the sweeter side. Guanabana is soursop which is more custardy, sweet like banana and tangy like pineapple. I absolutely loved this one! This meal was so simple yet so satisfying. I highly recommend checking them out! read more

Great food, great ambiance and vibe and great service with good prices!! Love this place!!

Best steak sandwich in NJ. I've been coming here since high school. Flavorful steak and hot French fries piled high with onions and melted cheese on toasty bread.. you can hold the onions n cheese if it's not your jam. Order a small or large sandwich and savor every bite. Order a shake to go with it and you'll sleep til church on Sunday! Cash only and usually a quick turnaround on your order. It can get busy after work and weekends. Steaks always fresh. You won't regret it. read more

Divey, hole in the wall type place but wasn't too bad finding metered street parking. Came for the bistec sandwich of course which was everything you imagined it to be. Great value, tasty, hot and fresh. Service was good, a few stool and seats if you want to eat there but I grabbed to go. Def a great spot for a quick lunch to go. read more

You know what you want when you visit Dos Amigos. Famous steak sandwich! Service is always good, never expect less. People are pleasant. The owner is always welcoming and so you know, is cash only. But the spot is well worth it. Ambiance is like an old school cafeteria style place. A must have if you are in the West New York, NJ area. read more

Dos Amigos Restaurant - Dos Amigos Steak Sandwich - Cuban Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

Considering the size of the sandwich there's no reason to charge so much , employees look at u weird just because you not Cuban .

Hands down, best steak sandwich in North Jersey. My friend introduced me to Dos Amigos and my life has not been the same since. Honestly, you can't untaste the perfect steak sandwich. Perfect meat-to-bread ratio, crisp on the bread, and the queso! Must try it. Suggestion: You can also round off the sandwich with a mamey fruit milkshake (batidos). So good! read more

... where do I begin?? Mmmm- so for a person who does not really ever favor "meat", let alone "crave" -this is a compliment, no? Why does the English language lack "un signo de interrogación invertido"? I could reeeeealy use one right now!! This is about the ONLY STEAK SANDWICH I crave- it's scrumptious !! This place, well, was located in downtown Union city - As I recall- but it has many good memories attached - the common denominator being the ":steak sandwich and batidos"!! My dad would excuse me for lunch at school and take me to the sandwich shop for a quick bite. Such a treat- skipping school lunch substituting it with Dad- time!! Perfectly "MOJO"-seasoned and thinly sliced "finger picking" pieces of saltiness in a French fried filled sandwich ; cheese optional. THATS IT!!! And it's more than enough!! They have 5-6 tasty flavors of shakes - again- deliciously combined and blended - for your cheat gym day- for sure!! I normally get my sandwich well press-toasted, con queso- ketchup on the side, cut in 3, batido de trigo ó de MAMEY con mucho hielo! Extra cup of ice!! And a materva! I place this particular order to my favorite Salvadorean lady who has worked there the longest - with Plenty of napkins. I always wonder how she feels about smelling like the best steak sandwich in New Jersey; : ) No Mayo! ONLY CASH!!! Clean , clean place! Ran in total synchronization- you can eat there - not huge - but comfy. WARNING: if you do not want to smell like food; I suggest place order by calling, ask what time your order will be ready and how much, cash in hand - tip the change ; sprint out. Eat in open area - the aroma will defy every attempt to conceal your indulgence. Lol :). Get ready for lots of taste!! Buen provecho!! Sorry - no pics!!! I would really like to find pictures of the original place- what a treat that would be. . . Stay tuned - happy slurping! read more

The price is right. This is one of those "I'm craving" meals. Sandwiches look sloppy, but so much state to offer. A large can feed two! It's a quick and convenient stop. Ohh and DO NOT skip out on a shake! Right now they only have pickup available which is completely fine with me since Covid and the local being on the smaller side. read more

Dos Amigos Restaurant - Cuban Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

Been coming here for 20 years !! I like it Extra cheese & una batida de trigo!! The best sandwich in west New York

#DosAmigos is a local staple. My best friend swore by this place and has been telling me it would be our cheat meal for the longest time. There's nothing fancy about the place and the menu is as simple as it gets. This is what long-time customers love. It's simple. Focused on the cheesesteaks and their flavor! The cheesesteak was amazing and exactly what I expected. The only thing I missed out was the shake. But there's always a next time! all the future tips for your visit: - Cash only - Park in the garage and get ticket validated. - Expect to leave smelling like steak & onions lol - ENJOY! read more

Dos Amigos Restaurant - Cuban Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

Great sandwiches but the prices are too much for the size! Make the sandwiches bigger if you're going to charge more.

This is such a simple place with only two food items, a steak sandwich with or without cheese and onions. They have a selection of milkshakes as well. There are no frills inside the restaurant but they don't need it because the food is fantastic. The sandwich is layered with shaved steak, French fries and cheese and onions if you so choose (I recommend you add them!) I enjoyed every bite and the service was amazing as well. Already cannot wait to go back! read more

Pretty big miss from the Yelp hivemind on this one. Bergenline Ave in Union City / West New York is Cuban central - plethora of Cuban sandwich, coffee, and restaurants all within walking distance. I'd never heard of Dos Amigos before but popped in based on the good reviews. Inside it's little more than a couple of counters and a cashier. Everything is take out only and cash only. The menu is similarly limited - only pan con bistec (Cuban steak sandwich) in two sizes (small or large). Can come with or without cheese. The $10 large sandwich is very filling, but sadly the taste left lots to be desired. It was missing any semblance of Cuban influence. The thick french fries used to stuff the sandwich gave it a very mushy texture (a far cry from the traditional thin crispy potato sticks often used in Cuban sandwiches). The steak itself similarly brought nothing to the equation. I felt as if I were eating a generic cheese steak sandwich from a random food court in Oklahoma, and not a Cuban lunch spot in Hudson County NJ. From a pure value perspective it's an ok spot (especially the large sandwich). But I've had countless better pan con bistec sandwiches around here, so sadly can't recommend this spot. read more

Can't beat this place been coming here forever and it's still just as good as when I was a kid

Honestly no words because it's that good. Pan con bistec is just one of those sandwiches you inhale and think about later. read more

Dos Amigos Restaurant - Pan con bistec - Cuban Near Me - West New York, New Jersey

This spot is a GEM!! In my opinion, this location hands down has the best steak sandwich in all of Hudson County. It's important to note that one should come here with cash only as they do not accept cards. There are two sandwich options: the chico(small) or the grande (large) and they have the options to add or remove cheese and onions. The fruit or chocolate batidos(smoothies) options are really good too. It is possible to order a side of fries if you would like to go with that option as well. The prices are fair and worth the portion and quality of food you are getting. My usual order is a grande with a chocolate batido because the flavors compliment each other insanely well! I highly recommend paying this place a visit! read more

Unfortunately i don't know what the hype is all about. Everyone kept on talking about how great these sandwiches are and as a West New York resident i had to give it a try. For me they were okay and definitely didn't live up to the hype. I feel like the steak was too dry for my liking. They also, raised the prices. read more

TIPS - Remarkable steak sandwiches (Only food item on the menu) - CASH ONLY - You can get them small or large with fries, cheese, and/or onions - Free validated parking at the garage next door - No frills space, staff is very kind MY THOUGHTS I reserve 5 stars exclusively for places that have shown an exceptional consistency in their food and experience. Dos Amigos is one of these places. No frills. They only have two things on the menu - the small steak sandwich and the large steak sandwich. After that the only decisions left to make are whether you want cheese, fries, and/or onions on your sandwich. In a world with seemingly endless options it's so great to somewhere that is only interested in mastering and serving one type of thing. In addition to that, though I greatly appreciate design, it's equally refreshing to go somewhere that has remained virtually unchanged since its opening however many years ago. It's homey, aging, and imperfect aesthetic only adds to the charm. Here stands a place that sticks to what they do best and do not deviate or try to be anything more than just that. The 15 minute drive from Midtown Manhattan is more than worth it for one of the tastiest steak sandwiches I have ever tasted, served by some of the kindest people. read more

For many, many years, this place has continued to sell amazing food. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the food never fails to not be delicious! Their sandwiches will forever be one of my favorites. Their menu is very simple, pan con bistec. Basically, a steak sandwich, but the best you'll ever have! You can choose between small and large sandwiches. If you like cheese, I recommend to pay the extra 50 cents to add it. It also comes with onions and French fries inside the sand which. The thin sliced meat is so well seasoned, it has a light vinegar taste to it. It's such a unique flavor. The cheese is perfectly melted on top of the steak and onions. The toasted bread and French fries add the perfect amount of crunch. They also serve batidos (shakes) to go along with the sandwhich. They are a must try!! My favorite is the mango! The service here has always been very quick and friendly. Also, this place only accepts cash. The parking garage above has free parking for customers. Take advantage of it since finding street parking can be very difficult. I always stop by here whenever I'm in West New York; never get tired of it! If you live/visit the are, you HAVE to try it or you'll be missing out!! read more

I wish I could give ZERO stars. I called and they got my order, my address but the person just said thank you and hung up. No name or how much it was going to be, an hour passed and I had to call to ask.. they went to the wrong address, the lady said she was going to check and had to call back 15mins after that to tell her to cancel the order because it's been more than 1 hour since I ordered, and I didn't want to pay for something that's cold; this lady had the audacity to tell me not to call again.

While eating my food something got stuck in my throat when I pulled it out it turns out to be plastic. When I go back for a refund to let the owner know of the situation he reply's "Stop pulling my leg".

He refunded my money at the end of everything. read more
