The wife and I had dinner here a couple weeks ago. Bottom line, our entrees were rather good. I liked my fajitas. The wife got the chicken mole dish that seemed to be a bit short on the mole. The empanada was tasty, but one empanada for $7 is a travesty. But here's the cardinal sin. The guacamole... I consider myself a guacamole connoisseur. This guac was flavorless. Whenever you can do something like that better at home, that's not a great sign. It was a good meal overall but they didn't hit all the points for a great meal. read more

This place is hit or miss. I ordered the beef burrito, the rice in my burrito was crunchy and way undercooked, completely inedible. Their beef is really good so I just ended up eating the beef out of it with a fork. Would of preferred the chef to let me know the rice wasn't ready yet and I would have happily ordered something else. BURITTO FAIL. read more

If you are hungry, this is not the place to go. We came early before the dinner rush and waited a long time to be served. The food was dry and not worth it. read more

Really bland. Makes me sad because I like supporting local restaurants. Nice folks though.

The food is pretty good and the services is good, but the owner has a bit of an anger problem. We had reservations for eight and were told we would have to sit at two tables of four. No problem - push the tables together. NO. Not allowed. When we questioned the practice, the response from the owner was rude and sarcastic. Something about not burdening the kitchen with too many entrees at a time. He was a constant presence the entire meal and just not a happy man. Now I understand why Dos Gringos is now operated by Unos Gringos. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. read more

Horrific. $58.00 on uber eats and my food did not include anything they charged me for. A disgrace and I even gave $2.00 back to restaurant due to helping small businesses. They should be ashamed. Just bc it was close to closing you don't get to minimize due to laziness or lack of food. Never again will I ever. read more

We've only been here over 100 times since moving to the area. It's great and has something for everyone! I've had lunch and dinner here. Dinner atmosphere is awesome, and order an appetizer or guacamole! Service is awesome, love everyone! By the way, they have several different margarita mixes you should try if you bring your own tequila! read more

I'm from out west where great Mexican food thrives. The food at Dos Gringos is actually pretty good. Good flavors, not disguised with overly hot spices (usually a sign of bad Mexican food). My reason for three stars is the physical restaurant. The bathroom door (there's only one) is gross. Filthy dirty. The door doesn't close easily, or open easily. Instead of fixing it, a 30 minute job, they put a sign on it that says "push or pull hard, door sticks." My daughter, or my parents, could never operate the door. The two proud owners, dos Gringos I assume, we're there helping customers. They should help themselves and fix the darn door. Or, at the very least, clean it. My wife would never eat there after seeing that door. Again, food good. Hygiene? Unknown. read more

Dining Under the Stars (Wednesday night in the summer) can be a big ole mess - super crowded, long waits for a table, long waits to order, long waits to get food. Surprisingly - this was NOT the case and we. lucked. out. Greg and his amazing team at Dos Gringos honored our 6:45 PM reservation (all 3 people in our party were present) and sat us right when we arrived at 6:30 PM (WOW!). The wait staff was uber-busy so we waiting a while - but not very long for menus, chops/salsa (so good) and that fabulous $10 guac. Yup. Guacamole is $10 here. But we love it. Vegetable enchiladas and surf & turf fajitas are family faves. We keep coming back (even after Hildago opened - which we also enjoy). See you next time! read more

I have never been inside of this restaurant. I first found them in a farmers market in media years ago and tried their chips and salsa which were pretty good. But I love Mexican food. Today I went to chaddsford winery where they had a food truck and tried them again. It was just okay. Not bad but not full of flavor. I need to add that I don't eat meat so that might change the flavor. It also makes me very serious about my guac and salsa. Theirs was just okay. The staff at the food truck was mostly friendly though. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to their restaurant. Side note: If I buy something that includes meat and I ask for vegetarian with guac, why do people make such a huge deal about charging me extra for the guacamole? Shouldn't it be a wash? Does me asking for guac and no meat really change the price enough that you need to make such a strong point about it? read more

My first visit was fine, the service wasn't terrific, but the food made up for it. My second visit, which was going to be a take out order, didn't happen because they refused to honor their family taco dinner coupon. They claimed that they stop accepting the coupon at 6PM. It was 7:15 and there's no mention of the time on their menu. Needless to say, probably not going to be going back any time soon. read more

Great option for excellent Mexican food and a reasonable price. Very friendly service and tasty food means I'll return. We had a plain burrito with guacamole, chips and their salsa. SO GOOD. Don't let yourself leave the Main Line without getting yourself to Dos Gringos. read more

First time at this restaurant last night. A little cramped. Food took forever to get. Waitress never offered to refill our drinks, however, the food was excellent. I had mahi-mahi with mashed potatoes, string beans and a spicy slaw. read more

Dos Gringos Mexican Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

First time here in a long time. Pretty good, not fantastic. The place is verrrrry small. The people there at the same time as us were not talking so it felt like we had to whisper as to not share our conversation with two other tables. It looks like an old house which is charming. Waitress was good. The cooks seemed meticulous. Something must have happened to my boyfriend's burrito that they weren't happy about because he saw them throw it away and make a new one. They have a salsa bar. You get chips and salsa of your choice brought to the table. You have your choice of mild, medium or hot salsas. My boyfriend preferred the medium which I did not like because it tasted too much like chipotle which I am not a fan of. I preferred the mild salsa verde. We went on Taco Tuesday so you could add a taco to anything for $1.00. We got nachitos for an appetizer. They were pretty small but good. Not the best we've ever had but definitely not the worst. They could be cheesier. I got vegetable enchiladas which are served with rice, beans and salsa verde on top. I added guacamole. The guacamole was excellent. Some of the best I've had at a restaurant. The rice and beans were both very good. The enchiladas were good except for the fact that the tortilla tasted kind of raw/soggy. I hate when tortillas taste like that in an enchilada dish. My boyfriend got a steak taco and a chicken burrito. He enjoyed both and said he would gladly order either of them again. Dessert is where things went south. I was very excited to try their cranberry brownie with hazelnut sauce. It was so hard that we could barely get a fork through it. We told the waitress and she said she could try putting it in the oven. If it was already reheated too much in the microwave to the point that it is hard and inedible, I don't understand why being in the oven for even longer would be a good idea. But that's the solution she went with. Not even a fresh brownie heated in the oven, just the same hard ass brownie double reheated. So naturally, it came back tasting hard and burnt still. Such a bummer because it really sounded good. The whipped cream was good. She did take it off of the bill so I appreciated that. I would not try the brownie again. Overall, it was a pretty good dinner. I will probably return but I'm definitely not rushing back. Seems to do a lot of takeout business. Pepsi products served. Blehhhhh Mexican sodas also available. 3.5 stars. read more

Last night my mom and I went to Dos Gringos after work. I can say with confidence this is some of the best Mexican food I have ever had! I had the beef enchiladas which had a perfectly blended chipotle cream sauce (mouth is watering just typing this). The prices are a tad high but honestly you get what you pay for. I will definitely be returning. read more

Good service buuuuut such a small menu with just fish taco available really??? Nothing taste Mexican the food was okay I wouldn't recommend this restaurant read more

I was so excited when I heard there was a new Mexican "restaurant" in Media. Any time I hear there's a new Mexican place I'm excited, as I love Mexican food. Why didn't ANY-one (in ANY of the reviews I've read or in the description of the restaurant, which says they "accept reservations") bother to point out that this is basically a take-out "JOINT" with a few tables where you go up to the counter and place your order with the cashier and either sit down or leave with bag in hand. I was a little disappointed when I drove all the way to Media to have lunch with a friend, (having told her excitedly about the new Mexican "Restaurant" ) not that Media is far, but it's not around the corner either. All of this, only to walk up to the place and see it's a little, (pardon the expression) Hole in the Wall. I was a little pissed I must admit. We BOTH were. HOWEVER...... Not all was lost because the food was actually REALLY GOOD. We both ordered tacos. I ordered 1 beef taco (shredded-slow roasted and tender) and 1 ground chorizo taco (wonderful home-made Mexican sausage which kind of tastes like a spicy ground beef), and she ordered chicken tacos (also slow roasted and shredded). We also split an order of chips (fresh and crispy) and tried each of the salsas, my favorite being the chipotle, she liked the tomatillo??, or the green one which was a tad spicy. All in all, we left happy because we had the opportunity to sit down and chat for awhile (hadn't seen eachother in a bit) and we really enjoyed the food, so it wasn't such a bust afterall. BUT......., for future reference, let it be known that this is not a sit down restaurant where you are waited on. I think it should have been noted somewhere, So now it is. read more

Legal business at the Media Court House brought me to the neighborhood of the newly opened Dos Gringos and as a fan of taquerias everywhere I could not resist going in for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised, mostly by the quality and care (freshness, cooked to order) of the various plates, including excellent pork carnitas and a house-made and nicely spiced chorizo (both served with pliant, soft corn tortillas). The warm chips were good, as was the standard but impeccably fresh guacamole (I wish the guacamole would be served in a dish instead of a tiny narrow plastic cup). A series of salsas - including habanñero and chipotle - and extra fresh cilantro can liven up all the dishes and also go well with the tortilla chips. I would have loved to order some Horchata or a refreshing agua fresca - something the owner said would be doable in the future. Prices are fair (an aside: One thing that Mexican restaurants share with Chinese places is the constant whining by some patrons about how "expensive" the food is, as if those two cuisines were eternally condemned to serve low-quality, cheap foods. If you find the prices here "expensive", you have not eaten out a lot lately). Service is friendly if unpolished and the room looks exactly as most suburban denizens would expect from a Mexico-themed restaurant, with all the middle-brow signifiers of "Mexico" on the walls (big sombreros, brightly colored pictures, etc.). read more

I have spoken for perhaps 10 years or so about opening up a mexican place in Media. That I have no experience in the restaurant business, nor any capital whatsoever to attempt an endeavor are the only 2 things that held me back. So when I heard 2 guys had gone and stolen my dream, well, obviously there was a twinge of jealousy. But because I am such a forgiving person, I chose to swallow my pride, see what was going on, and check this place out. And what I found was that there is a solid foundation. Is there room for improvement? Yes. But is there decent food? Yes. I preface my review by saying I went for lunch. They also offer breakfast (which is very egg based, and I am very not, so I won't be trying it then) and a supposed "upscale" dinner offering, which has not been fully rolled out yet. So I can only comment on lunch... First, the decor. It's "cozy" inside, with a number of small tables that back up on one another, and if you happen to sit next to two older white men who have, in general, lost respect for the world, and specifically for your wife's personal space, then you might be put out. The "salsa" bar is basically just a counter that offers cut cilantro, and three salsas (more like sauces, since they are smooth and not chunky) labeled "hot, medium, and mild." (They could stand a little more spice difference, but whatever.) As an appetizer, we ordered chips and guacamole. It was standard. The guac came in a plastic cup, so it suggested it wasn't homemade, but I'm not certain. I didn't ask because I have a fear or restaurant owners. Not really, I just didn't care enough to. Chips were good though; of course messing up chips would take a monumental amount of stupidity. My lunch was a "homemade chorizo" burrito - something I couldn't get at the next closest mexican restaurant, "Taco Bell." It was decent sized, certainly not a behemoth Baja Fresh offers, but not tiny. Perhaps slightly smaller than I expected for $7.50. The meat had a good flavor, but I was disappointed with the other contents of the burrito. Rice, some cheese, and some black beans that unfortunately seemed to have slipped to the bottom of one end of the burrito, much like Quint slid to the bottom of his ship and to his demise in "Jaws." There seemed to be no onions, peppers, tomatoes or cilantro of any kind. I'm not sure if I was supposed to add those ingredients (they were available on the salsa bar) or not, but without them the burrito felt plain. My wife had a chicken quesadilla. It was standard. But I'm having a hard time trying to think what quesadilla I've ever had that wouldn't be classified as "standard," so... They offered Jaurritos - a mexican soft drink, and that was nice. The tomatoes on the salsa bar I guess I would say was the worst thing about the meal, and since it was a side that didn't even come with the meal, I hesitate to bring it up. But they did taste canned. Because it's not tomato season right now I'm going to assume they will use fresh tomatoes when possible, but still - canned tomatoes did not taste good. At the end of the day I thought for a letter grade I would give it a C+. I would definitely go back and try it again, and my food was satisfying. Slightly pricey, but I think details like that will get better fleshed out throughout the summer. I'm intrigued by the "upscale" dinner they're proposing too. Upscale mexican food is not so easily found. I am happy that I now have mexican food within walking distance, and I hope some of the minor things I mentioned will be ironed out as the place continues to remain open. I see a lot of potential and will definitely try it out again. read more

The fish tacos were very good but the rudeness of the main employee who was seating the guests ruined the whole meal. He made it a huge deal that I requested to sit inside when it was down pouring rain outside. What makes the situation worse is that I spoke to a nice female employee earlier in the day via phone who told me they were moving outside reservations to inside due to weather. The man told me I was a liar and that the female employee would never tell me that. Why would I make that up?? He talked back to me multiple times and treated me very poorly. I do not recommend this restaurant due to poor customer service. Spend your money elsewhere. Also, there was a hair in my friends dish. read more

Lighting, sets the mood. I've eaten here. Don't remember it being bad, in fact it was probably good and I'd really like to go again. But someone has to turn down those lights. Seriously. It's way to bright at the front bar, obnoxious. For that reason alone. I refuse. If you want a tan to go with your corona, go for it. But BYOsunglasses. read more

This was my first time at dos gringos. I got the chicken tacos and they were AMAZING, I highly recommend this restaurant and the staff were working super hard and couldn't have been nicer! read more

Went here on a casual Tuesday and I ordered 3 vegetable soft corn tacos, no cheese, with a side of black beans and an order of guacamole as an appetizer. The guacamole was very acidic (perhaps to keep it longer) and the corn tortillas were store bought and tasted very bland. The salsa bar was nice but the salsas lacked the flavor they were labeled to have (chipotle, habanero, etc). The black beans were horrifically bland, could have added a spice or two there. For all these reasons, I would say that this place is a far cry from being authentic. I would probably not return, nor recommend it to a friend. You're better off getting your mexican fix from Qdoba. read more

I've eaten here several times, and I've certainly enjoyed the food. However - and perhaps this is telling - nothing I've ordered distinguished itself other than the salsa variety that came with the complimentary tortilla chips. The BYOB is probably the most distinctive aspect of the experience, as they make excellent margarita mixes. However, I will never go back as a result of one incident: my date and I had just finished a full meal and taken care of the check, but we were still chatting and working on our drinks. Not more than five minutes later, the manager approached our table and asked us (not unkindly) if we could leave. Not because we were being loud or disruptive, but so they could seat someone else. More alarmed than bitter, we vacated our table and left, noticing on the way out that there was only one unseated couple in the establishment. Now, I do sympathize with the manager; it's a small space, and as a BYOB they need a decent customer turnover rate to make money, but asking paying customers to leave within five minutes of settling their check is unforgivable. I had probably visited six times in the previous two months, but they can rest assured that they've lost my business forever. read more

Wouldn't come back. I was very surprised at the small dining room size. But the real issue didn't lie in the 7year old girl who was at the adjacent table who essentially sat on my lap, or the man who sat behind me that kept low-5ing me with his elbow. It was the food quantity, quality, and execution of providing a dining experience for a customer. We ordered an appetizer (queso) which took 25min itself, and still was awful. The cheese wasn't melted and was stuck to the dish. We weren't provided utensils and our waitress went MIA for 23/25min we were waiting. Our meals came yet still no utensils, and our drinks were as dry as the owner's personality when we came in. The enchiladas were small and bland, and the vegetables I was asked if I wanted added $3 on the bill. Poor service, mediocre food, small menu, lack of the fundamentals of a restaurant. read more

I ordered take out for lunch and was not that impressed with it. My office has great reviews for this place so I was looking forward to it but I don't think I'll order again from there. However, I'm willing to try it at the restaurant next because many of the reviews are pretty good and some of the photos look really good. I got the lunch combo meal that comes with an entree, side , chips and salsa and a soda. For the entree I ordered pork tacos on corn tortillas and the side I opted for was a salad. The pork in the tacos were shredded and marinated in a sauce but the pork was pretty dry still. They were topped with melted cheese. The chips and salsa where forgotten as part of my order. I didn't notice until I was at the office so I just had to deal with it and eat what I had. No a big deal really but the salsa would have helped me the pork not as dry as it was. The side salad was more of a colesalw because it was shredded lettuce and drowning in dressing. I tasted some cilantro and that was the best part of it. I ordered salad thinking it was a healthier choice but no, I would have been better off with the rice and beans because it was soaked in mayo-based dressing. I think I'll try their rice and beans because my co-workers were all happy with theirs. read more

We loved the fish tacos and the smothered burrito; however, I did not like the Mexican style tacos. I had the barbacoa beef which was dry and the taco was bland. Some pico, guacamole, or salsa would have improved it. Also music was classic rock and nice volume. read more

My mother and I decided to dine here during dining under the stars and we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. We were seated right away and the waitress came over to take our orders. Since we'd never been there before, we decided to split a bunch of small plates so we could sample different things. We started with the ensalada de remolacha (beet salad), which was delicious! The red and golden beets were flavorful and paired well with the blood orange vinaigrette. Next up was the queso fundido. It was just okay - really salty in my opinion. The chorizo just wasn't good at all, it lacked the flavor that I'm used to. For our "entrees" we split the flauta and gorditas. The flauta was pretty good but you could tell the fish wasn't fresh. The gorditas, on the other hand, were delicious. The cornmeal cakes were cooked perfectly, the chicken was nice and moist, and the pica de gallo/guac were both fresh. Overall, I thought Dos Gringos was pretty okay for being one of only two Mexican restaurants in Media (feel free to see my review of Diegos - I wasn't a fan). I would go back again for Dining Under the Stars to check out the entrees, as I heard the regular restaurant is quite small. read more

The appetizer loaded nachos where good... expensive American Mexican food. Booooo No margaritas at a Mexican restaurant thumbs down

We stopped in here on Friday for dinner nor realizing it was restaurant week in Media. For $30 we got a three course meal. Everything there was delicious. Daily soup was a corn soup, and shrimp ceviche was the other appetizer. For the entrees, we ordered the chicken enchiladas...nice sauce, spicy but the rice was plain..and the pork belly served with potatoes, peppers and a fried egg... Somewhat like breakfast on a plate. Desserts were also good - warm brownie with caramel sauce and churro so with strawberry ice cream. Yum. Service was a bit slow but friendly. We were there early and as the place filled up, they couldn't keep up. Atmosphere here is casual and bright. read more

First off: why when I type in "Mexican Food in Media" I get one in Secane and another in Springfield? Does yelp charge for placement to put businesses on the top of the search list? I would like for someone to explain it to me. I took my wife there last Friday night. We ate outside; inside; the tables were jammed together. Service was slow. Our salad to 15 minutes to arrive so we wolfed down the tortilla chips. Some were soggy. Our entrees arrived a few minutes after the salad so we ate both at the same time so the entree didn't get cold. Portions were small but quite tasty. The salad was inventive and so were the lamb chops. Both were on the smallish side. I was definitely hungry after we finished our meal. I would go back another time but for lunch. By the way, go across the street to Arianne for excellent gelato with exotic flavors! read more

Very good Mexican food. We've been there many times. Small menu but excellent preparation. Service is always good. BYOB including bring your own Tequila. They will furnish the margarita set up. This is a small place with limited seating so, on busy nights reservations are recommended. read more

One of my favorite places in media. I have tried both the mild and medium salsas and both are fresh and flavorful. I love the big chunks of tomatoes and onions! The chips are thin and crisp. It's the perfect appetizer. Good entrees include surf and turf fajitas and the amazing chicken enchiladas. I love the sauce for the enchiladas! The rice isn't anything special but the beans are yummy. Definitely bring your own tequila and try a pitcher of their flavored margaritas. I love the strawberry. read more

Staff was very friendly and food was great. The fajitas and Surf & Turf burrito were not only very good, the portions were huge and price was reasonable. We liked that it was BYOT and they had some great mixers. We will be going back again. read more

Greg, chips were either stale or store bought. No flavor. However, did me a favor because I saved myself the calories since I wasn't even tempted to eat them. Fish tacos were pure grease in the crust and very little fish under earth. Worst fish tacos that I have ever eaten. Wife said her shrimp tacos were also horrible. The soft taco shell was stale and the shrimp had no flavor. read more

Had a reservation and we were seated quickly. The place is small, like everyone notes, but we were seated in a quiet corner in the back by the window which was really nice. Margarita mix is $10 for the pitcher but there are flavor choices and it's well worth it when bringing your own tequila. We were served chips and the salsa never came...but we're pretty easy going and let it slide. We ordered the taquitos as an appetizer and the chicken enchiladas and surf & turf fajitas as entrees. Our entrees came out VERY quickly - before the taquitos. We mentioned we didn't get our app and they took it off of our bill without us even putting up a fuss, which was unnecessary but so nice of them! We were finished eating within 30 minutes of sitting down but weren't rushed out at all as we wanted to have some more margaritas. The food was definitely delicious. The sauce on the enchiladas was to die for. I'm not big on very spicy things and none of our dishes were spicy. I'm sure you could have them kick it up a notch if you're into that, but for us everything was just right. read more

Loved BYOB. Parking is right around the corner. Went there on a Friday night. Four of us ordered apps and dinner. Would definitely go there again read more

Wow is all I can say! Had a great experience here on a lovely summer evening in Media. We had the dinner specials which were ancho marinated shrimp and beef tips. Absolutely delicious entrees and service was exceptional as well! read more
