We were recommended to try Dos Caminos and we really wanted to like it. NOTE: This has nothing to do with the aesthetics of the outside or the inside NOTE II: This is a family business with quite possibly three generations working. NOTE III: The refried beans are made with pork lard and not vegetarian Entonces - Anyways, there were not a lot of options for me so I decided on the Fried Buffalo Cauliflower with Mango Habanero. The tacos presented well but there was absolutely nothing sweet and spicy about the Mango Habanero. It was not sweet or spicy and was more bland than anything. My wife ordered the cocktail de Cameron - the shrimp pre cooked frozen and defrosted. The sauce was more ketchup than anything else. She was very disappointed DISCLAIMER: Our server did stop by multiple times and we didn't say anything. There was nothing to fix. She also seemed in a hurry to release us from the table as the moment I finished my tacos she scooped it up. I truly respect the family business but our experience was not a good one. Wish the family all the best. read more

Loved this restaurant and went back literally the next day with some friends. Word to the wise it gets very busy... so prepared to wait. They do take reservations for parties of eight or more and there's a bar in the back if you need a margarita while you wait! read more

Went here for dinner. Had the Fajitas chile rellano and taco. Margaritas and Modelo. Very good service and excellent Mexican food. read more

Service was friendly but extremely slow. Lime margarita lacked lime or tequila taste. Steak was a bit less tender than beef jerky. My wife's shrimp seemed to satisfy. Never going back. Prefer Taco Bell over this place. Save your time and money. read more

Dos Caminos Mexican Restaurant - A bland margarita - Mexican Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Do not be frightened by the fact that this is inside of a hotel! We actually didn't go the first time we went by and then we went with a friend and it is an excellent Mexican restaurant the mama there makes her own homemade tamales and they are delicious so give it a try! read more

The food was ok, the beef was fatty, the wait was ridiculously long. It's a very busy place which is a good sign but they did not have near enough people helping and serving. From start to finish we were in the restaurant for 2 hours. I ordered a few things off the happy hour and they did not give me the discount. The walls were painted different colors. It was interesting . read more

Excellent Mexican food! Everything tasted fresh. My wife got Carnitas tacos which wasn't even on the menu, but they made it for her. We rarely give five stars, Cali Mexican food flashbacks. We'll be coming back for sure. Don't let the exterior fool you. read more

In my opinion this is the best Mexican food in the treasure valley. Also, the service was impeccable.

Great! Friendly service and delicious food. Excellent for families. Reasonable prices.

Outstanding value and flavors. This place is located UNDER Nampa Downtown Inn very close to the center of town. One can easily drive past it unless you are looking for the motel sign. One block from the police station and fire station #1. Plenty of street and lot parking. It is not just a slogan that they are making meals from recipes from their Abuelas (grandmothers). This is real family food passed down over generations. Every employee gives the customer the impression that they are proud to be at your service to enjoy their cooking. They have been building their faithful clientele for 5 years since opening. Stopped in for the Taco Tuesday special of 4 tacos and a margarita for $8.95. We also were there during their 4-6 Happy Hour where when you order one margarita you get the second one for $1. We weren't looking for a big heavy meal, so a taco salad in a shell and the Taco Tuesday special looked good for us. Just because the majority of the population of the Treasure Valley can hardly get past raving or complaining about a restaurant's chips and salsa, we offer this insight - order the bean dip along with the standard salsa. The chips are light without an oily taste. The salsa is fresh and uses green onions - very yummy. The salad was large and full of flavor. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, not like some places that hide their old dying lettuce in a pile inside the shell. The 4 street tacos were excellent. Two soft, fresh tortillas each, plenty of meat and dressed nicely with traditional toppings. With the choice of two fillings, carnitas and carne asada were picked. The carnitas were fabulous and I don't say that too often in Idaho, but the carne asada was equal in flavor and quality. Hard to choose between these fillings on our next visit. As a bonus we tried a Momia (mummy) taco. The tortilla was slightly pan fried no doubt to give it extra taste and strength. The melted cheese and the filling of carnitas made this taco very special. See pic. At this point of the meal, we knew we had found the abuelas kitchen that we have been looking for. We all know the average "Mexican" place which caters to "gringos" (something wrapped in a tortilla floating in soupy sauces and covered with gobs of yellow cheese). You're not going to find that garbage here. Traditional favorites are on the menu, but prepared with a focus on authenticity and flavors. We were excited to read about Dos Caminos items that are not found on the typical Treasure Valley "Mexican" restaurant menu. Fogones is something you will not find on a typical menu. While it may look similar to parrillada (grilled meats & vegetables) served in a molcajete (volcanic stone bowl) it is quite different. It is a very traditional rustic method of cooking which uses cast iron pots and lids cooked over outdoor fires or inside mud ovens. Various meats and other items are put in the pot and then the whole thing goes into the oven. We highly recommend that you give Dos Caminos a try and don't be shocked when you call it your new favorite. The abuelas will smile on you. read more

I would absolutely recommend this place. Best Mexican food in the valley. I've been here several times.

Went to this place this past Friday. Nicely decorated and quaint. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Looks like a family run business. The lunch menu has quite a few choices on it and most are $9.95. I got the chicken enchilada and taco plate. The consistency of the beans was great, nice and creamy. The rice had great flavor and was cooked just right. Unfortunately, I didn't think much of the chicken. It seemed like the breast meat was boiled then shredded in big pieces. It really had no flavor and was on the dry side. If you look at the pic, there is a piece on the right side of the taco. The toppings and sauce were good. They also have a red hot sauce that is tasty. I will probably go back but will pick a different meat. read more

Dos Caminos Mexican Restaurant - Chicken enchilada and taco lunch plate. And yes, I already stirred the rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Was told about this place by our neighbor, extremely happy we gave it a shot. Staff was super friendly, food was fantastic. Highly recommend the Mamba and the Fajita burrito. It took me awhile to choose which burrito I wanted to try, but I'll be back to try all of them after tasting how good everything was. read more

Our family has come here 3 times, and every time the food was delicious. Staff is friendly and the recipes are super yummy. Highly recommend

Food was legit!! I got the chili verde plate.. on point! My husband got the Llevantas Muertos ( seafood stew) and he LOVED it! He raved over it for days. Closest Mexican food we have food in the area to Southern Cal read more

Am this wasn't my first visit, but the problems remain the same. The bar service in this restaurant is the worst, I waited more than 30 minutes for a draft beer only to find out the keg was empty. 30 minutes! By the time our dinner came, you could see from the skin formed on top of the beans and the Fogone' that it was sitting in the window for sometime. I may give this place in one more try but don't expect much. Very disappointed read more

Employees were friendly, service was fast, and the food was great. There was a nice bar area in the back that was busy.

Don't let the size or appearance fool you! We went because we had friends tell us that it is under new management since I visited it over 6 yrs ago. The service was great and waitress very friendly. The place looked remodeled and cleaned up. The food was so yummy!!! I would definitely go back for dinner next time. read more

Access to location: This little gem is located in the parking lot of a motel and it's attached to the motel, it's easy to miss, and we did, so we drove around the block twice before figuring it all out. Food: chips, salsa and bean tip were yum. Ordered the shredded beef taco, cheese enchilada and chicken tamale. The rice and beans were good, but the rice and bean portion were small. The rest of our food was also delicious and portioned right on, given the price of the plates. Staff: Kind and quick to take our order and bring out our food. Thank you for allowing us to feel welcome in your restaurant. We will certainly make the drive to return! Rating: Giving this restaurant a 4 star, it is the best Mexican we've had so far in this part of Idaho, the family is from Mexico so the food is authentic and delicious. Increase the portions for rice and beans, and this restaurant is a 5 star! As an elite Yelper this restaurant has my recommendation. Oh and try the Margaritas, they are nice. read more

My wife and I just tried Dos Caminos for the first time & it was excellent! The Service was great and they were all very welcoming. We loved the music playing & the ambiance was perfect. My wife had the Taco salad with chicken & I had 2 enchiladas & taco with beans & rice- we both loved it. This may be our go to from now on for great Mexican food. read more

Food was really good. Music was way too loud (this is not a night club). With people talking and the music it was not enjoyable. I would not come back just because of the music being too loud. read more

They have great food, but their online ordering system is confusing, so I called to ask some questions but the person didn't know any answers. I finally navigated through, to place my order for delivery. The disappointing and frustrated part is the food was estimated to be delivered in about 30 min. I got 3 updated texts, with later and later times. My food arrived about 40 min later than the first time given. My food was room temperature...not even a bit warm. read more

My wife and I moved here from Las Vegas a couple years ago and had a hard time finding a good Mexican restaurant. After finding Dos Caminos, we rarely go to any other Mexican restaurant. The food is great and so is the service. Do not be off-put by its location! read more

What an accidental surprise on our first visit and now we plan our day around this visit to beat the crowd! We aim to get a combo pretty consistently so that we can have lots options. I always get the chilly relleno with the enchilada (carnitas are some of the best you have had!!!). Maybe someday I will get something different and when I do, I will write about it. The dish I choose is just to awesome, I can't let go yet. Happy hour is a deal, buy one marg and get one for $1.00. We always go large because, well why not?! There are some nice food and beer options as well. Parking is plenty (street and parking lot). Accessibility might need to be asked about. I believe there is an accessible entrance back by the bar area, the front entrance has steps, I would suggest to call to make sure you find the correct entrance for accessibility. Service is wonderful! They are so friendly and fun and offer up great suggestions if you are not sure about what to order. This is our new place to fill our Mexican food cravings! While it is a drive for us (12 miles), a person in our party said, "it is worth it and we would drive weekly for that!" read more

I went here for lunch yesterday with a friend. It was very tasty. I had an enchilada that had sautéed chicken and vegetables. The chicken was moist and flavorful, even after warming it up to eat my leftovers today. Usually chicken is shredded, dry and flavorless, not this. It just tasted really good! I had whole pinto beans instead of refried, which was also very good. I'm not much of a spanish rice fan, so I didn't eat much of that. The service was top notch. It was overall a great experience! I'll be back. It seems to be improved since coming here a few years ago. read more

Nampa's roots are agricultural. I've found many people living from. and close to the land humble, honest, very hard working and proud of their labors. We found the delicious food here humble and honest. True to Old Mexico with no pretense of cuisine. The people serving us were very hard working, friendly and proud of whst the team here brings to the table. read more

Holy Moly we're hooked. This week we headed back to our new "fav" Mexican food digs for their happy hour "4 street tacos" for $6.00 and "cheese dip" & chips for $6.00. Wow! The pork and pollo meat street tacos were great. And the warm cheese dip is super tasty. Patricia was our server and super friendly and informative. Soooo many great choices on the menu.

Amazing authentic Mexican food and drinks. Great service. We had a group of six and our waitress was beyond helpful and friendly. Only one of us had been here before so we all tried something different and shared a bit. Great lunch menu! But I ordered off the regular menu. #5 Combo with a chili relleno, enchilada (cheese) and taco (shredded beef). It came with rice and beans. All great. And I had a Michelada. It came out on fire! Others ordered fajitas, pozole, shrimp cocktail and nachos. We left stuffed!! And declared our new happy hour joint. The menu is large, which means I'll have to go back multiple times to try out different dishes. Oh darn. Drinks were amazing, just wish there was more of a drink/liquor menu. Awesome presentations though. Ask and I bet they will make whatever you want. read more

We booked the food truck for my sons first communion celebration and the food was amazing! They arrived early to set up and prep for our guests, they were very communicative with the budget we had set and also flexible with the time and leaving us some food after they were done. The food was all made to order for our guests, they were also given small timers with notification of when their plate was ready. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely book them again. I loved it. We also visited the restaurant before the event during happy hour to taste the tacos, which was a great idea. We were able to precure a menu for our guests to order from the day of. The ambiance of the restaurant is very family friendly and very family oriented which is great! read more
