Over salt chips and queso
George E.

We were walking around downtown Colorado Springs and entered a high end kitchen store. The owner suggested Dos Dos for good Mexican food. The restaurant was close by, clean, somewhat modern and had a nice vibe. We sat and reviewed the menu. We selected the trio of tacos with el pastor and two carne asada. The chips and queso arrived hot and ready to eat, obviously homemade chips. Our waiter suggested the fried plantains with dipping sauce. The chips and plantains were coated with tons of salt. I imagined being livestock arriving at a salt lick. We tried to wipe off the excessive salt. but still could not stomach any more. The Malden sea salt is more powerful and needs less for flavor. I'm not sure the kitchen staff understands that or perhaps they are pushing more drinks. The flakes engulfed the delicious plantains. Again, after trying to remove the excessive salt, we finally taped out. The tacos were overwhelmed by the sauces and one could not taste any meat texture or flavor. I tried to give the waiter my imput as FYI, but was advised the "chef" wants them rolled in salt. I grossly disagree, but I'm just one patron. He was rather dismissive and took pride in telling me "that is my interpretation." If you are highly deficient in your sodium intake, hit Dos Dos to dial it up. The vibe here is chill but the food flavor profiles are off. Obviously, it is just my opinion and the staff does not value any imput, their progagative. If my next blood test is sodium deficient, I'll return to Dos Dos. A real disappointment.

Chorizo burrito

Colorado 4/5, California 3/5. I think the burritos could be elevated by incorporating some cheese and giving salsa for the burritos. The burritos feel a bit dry without salsa and lack a special je ne sais quois as a result. Some other protein options could also help spice things up, like breakfast sausage. My partner and I have conflicting opinions on the amount of tater tots in our burritos, as well. I'm an avid tater tot enjoyer and will never deny more tater tots, but he thought his was a bit overwhelming. I attribute that to the small (comparatively) amount of bacon in the burrito, so it was mostly just egg, tater tots, and tortilla to him. His burrito also had a little tortilla slit so :( it was falling apart when we got to eat it. Horchata is pretty solid! No complaints there, but forgot to take a photo.

Love the design of this place! It's not only super cute, but the food is mind blowing amazing. We started off with the plantains. It comes with a sweet and creamy dipping sauce. The caramelization on the plantains was absolute perfection. It was beyond my expectations in every way. If you wanted to add to your meal, get the plantains! My mains were the al pastor bowl and the carne asada burrito. The food was delicious, hunger satisfying, taste bud tickling, and everything in between. We loved this place through and through.

This is so close to four stars, but the flavor of my burrito was, well... weird. Like a little sweet or something, and too fragrant with some herby ingredient that I couldn't quite place. Rosemary, maybe? Other than that, it was a good experience. Our waiter was solid, the ambiance was fun, and my wife really enjoyed her bowl thing that she got. The portions are good. We ordered chips with green, red, and queso salsas. Ended up creating a 'need a to-go box' situation. Other than a Carl's Jr. across the park, there really aren't any good, cost effective options in the area, so Dos Dos is worth a visit if you are in the mood for Mexican (with an herbal twist) food...

It was a pleasant surprise to find this restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs. I've been to this restaurant when it first opened and the food has improved tremendously. I think the pictures speak for themselves. I would definitely go back and recommended to others.

Taco options

In town from San Diego, usually don't eat Mexican food outside SoCal, which is the absolute epicenter of authentic Mexican food being right on the border. Went here on a recommendation friend. Sit down at the bar. Order a Paloma, it's mostly soda and ice, can't even taste a hint of liquor. Order the "quesabirria" tacos with consomme. Apparently there is more than one version of birria here. Menu doesn't specify if it is beef or goat, it was definitely beef. The tacos are small, and they're fried in oil. Cotija cheese, cilantro, and onions on top of the tacos, like a tostada. So this is not the way birria tacos are prepared, this is just a regular shredded beef taco. The consommé is not beef broth, which the birria meat is supposed to be boiled in. The consommé is just liquified beef fat with cilantro and onions inside. The other "birria" tacos are the same thing, but soft shell lightly grilled with red salsa. This was very surprising. Not the way that traditional birria is prepared. The scene looks nice and inviting, but it is small. The outdoor bar seating facing the street is cool. Ok aside from those points, the tacos were alright. The beef wasn't juicy but it wasn't dry. The melted cheese was really not present. The cotija cheese doesn't belong on this dish. And the cilantro and onions belong inside, along with some lime and a true consommé to dip it in. The tacos should've been fried in the consommé, that is how it is prepared. Not terrible being far from home, so back to the hub in SoCal for the best.

Dos Dos is an awesome little taco restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs. The breezy decor, delicious menu, full bar, and reasonable prices make this a perfect weekend lunch or dinner spot. The carne asada and al pastor tacos were our favorites!

Paloma, Chips, and Queso
Chela V.

How do I start??? With a Paloma drink in my hand! Salud! Chicas and Chicos! Found myself in downtown Colorado Springs and before I knew it I was Chips and Queso knee deep. I wasn't sure what to expect but after having the Carne Asada and Birria tacos El Grito kicked in!!! This place is a taco stand with comfort. I recommend it! Food and drinks are clean, fresh, and perfect bite size-key to a good taco. So cruise right in and say ¡Hola! to Edwardo he will take good care of you.

This was a small little place we almost walked past but I'm glad we decided to give this place a try. The service was great and quick! The food was delicious we were just there for breakfast but we can't wait to try their dinner menu.

Ok... I was raised in La Junta, Co. I grew up eating at a place called Mexico City Cafe. Totally a…read morefamily run place for like 40 hrs that I know of. My father was a good chef. I grew up eating tamales from Grandma Carrillo. The town grandma. The food here was different than I've ever had. It was good, hot and well presented. BUT, We asked about the green chili there and got a sample to try. My brother and I know our stuff about green chili. We've never had green chili like theirs. It wasn't green chili in our sense of the word. It was more like tons of sour cream with flavorings in it. No heat and (in my opinion) kind of blah. The Chipotle sauce on the enchiladas was very different as well. Same sort cream base. When my brother and I first asked about the chili, in all honesty the waitress had no clue what we meant by green chili. I'm thinking that their versions are related to different recipes from different parts of Mexico. If that makes sense. but.. don't get me wrong, it was very good. Nice place to eat.. but give me some more common Mexican food. There was not ONE TAMALE in the menu. No sopapillas. No vermicelli. No chili con carne. Of your looking to try a different type of Mexican food, go here because it is tasty. I can NOT say I had a bad meal..... it was just something different.

Closest Mexican food since Tucson. Great menudo, fajitas, everything was delicious. Easy to get to…read moreand fast service.
