Funky Catina with original artwork on the walls. The complimentary red and green salsa is smoky, roasted and hotter than your average salsa. The chips were toasted, thin and crispy. I chose the Camaron Fundido (Shrimp over cheesy, creamy, rice) the prawns were large and lovely. It was served with whole beans and homemade flour tortilla. I scrapped the plate. Be careful, if you don't like spicy, this might be the place for you. read more

Los Dos Molinos - Smoky hot red & green, spicy kick! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

I moved to Arizona a couple years ago and couldnt find any good Mexican food until I went to Los Dos, I have been there 4 times now and food has been delicious every time. It is always very busy and the wait staff is always friendly, the time before last night that i was there I noticed that the owner was the only one to take the orders at the tables, the only exception is when he was swamped with orders would someone else step in and take an order, with his "0k". I asked the server that had been helping us, other than taking our order she did everything else, I asked her why that was and she avoided the question with uncomfortable vibes so i tipped my usual 20% and didnt give it another thought. So last night was my very last visit i will make to that establishment. This is how it went........ So we get there at 5:30 and the place is already packed and "the Owner" is running around from one table to the next taking orders, since most patrons had all sat down at the same time due to the restaurant had just opened and filled up, we had eaten our meal and paid our bill and was talking to the girl which name i wont mention, due to she was probably let go last night....well I always tip in cash so i just pushed the cash towards her as we were getting up to leave and she said she wasnt allowed to take it and to just leave it on the table, I said WHAT? And i asked her if they pooled the tips she said no. She said that the "OWNER" AKA the order taker keeps all the tips and gives them a check for $100.00 at the end of the pay period, and pays the federal minimum serving wage of 7.25 hrly. I called him on it and his defensive reaction told me all I needed to know. I will be reporting him to the Federal Labor Bureau first thing tomorrow morning. Since last night I met a previous employee of "Los Dos" that has confirmed these facts and has agreed to help in any way they can. How dare you treat your employees in this way, I dont know how you can sleep at night. You can best believe I will be bad mouthing your ethics to any and all that will listen. If you feel you have to eat there please shove the cash in your servers pockets so they can feed their famiies or pay their bills. read more

A close second on my list of favorite Mexican food restaurants of all time. I had the green chili (or was it the red?) and it was spicy and filling. My margarita was huge and no skimping on tequila occurred. All that food for a low price - it's no wonder this place is consistently voted one of the best in the Phoenix metro area. read more

Love this place. Ribs are unbelievable, but be sure to ask your server for off menu specials. Kick ass pitchers are amazing read more

There are controlled burns, and there are wildfires. Los Dos is the latter. My wife accurately described this place as being both the best and worst experiences she's had at a restaurant. The food was delicious, but the burn was ridiculous! My boss has taken many pregnant women here (who are on the cusp of delivery), and after eating the spicy food here, nearly every single one went into labor (not immediately, of course, but within a day or two). Pretty wild. My only complaint is with the service being a little lousy/forgetful. But on the other side of things, the owner did come by and help and chat for a while. Be aware, you can still eat here if you can't handle spicy food. Just avoid the salsas at the beginning and you'll likely be okay. Order an horchata just to be sure. But one thing is certain, you've got to try a plate with adovada ( marinated pork), especially when a fried egg is included. One of the best mexican-style plates I've ever had. read more

Had such a wonderful experience last night at Los Dos Molinos! Absolutely incredible food (you gotta try the roasted pork and Pollo Fundido). John treated us like royalty. And wow, that "medium" margarita & Tequila was amazing too!! read more

Exceptional Mexican food!! Our meals were delicious and it took no time for them to arrive at our table. I had the Carnita's and my husband had the shrimp Enchilada dish. Be prepared for the spicey flavors if you visit this restaurant. Overall it was delicious. read more

Review of Mesa location. I lived in the East Valley for many years and always heard good things about this place but never tried it before. Unfortunately my first visit was a terrible experience.  I debated writing a negative review because I don't want to hurt anyone's business but when its this bad I don't want others to waste their money or worse get sick.  I suspected things wouldn't be great as we walked in when all of the staff looked miserable and the place was half empty on a Saturday night. Not a smile or greeting anywhere.  We ordered drinks and my wifes lemonade had a fly in it - yes you read that correctly - a fly down in the drink buried under the ice and visible through the clear glass.  We told the waiter and he offered no apology but brought her a new drink. I had to wonder: did the waiter not look in the empty glass before filling?  Was the fly from a dirty ice bin? Regardless it was disgusting. Everything inside me screamed that we should leave but we had already ordered food and I tried to convince myself that it was a freak thing and not indicative of other issues.  Well the food was mediocre at best and bordering on terrible.  The salsa tasted off, the enchilada was so spicy I could barely eat it and was cold in the middle, and the tortillas were rubbery and hard as if heated in the microwave.  The beans tasted as if from a can - definitely not fresh and were bland.  We won't be back again.  One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had.  If the food had just been mediocre I wouldn't have left this negative review and would have just moved on but the fly in the drink was completely unacceptable and nobody should risk getting sick. This place has some major work to do to improve and hope they do so. They've obviously been around a long time so they must have been good at some point but not good now. read more

This is my go to restaurant for spicy food although I love the not spicy carnitas. My favorite are the tamales. Great service and margaritas. read more

Great place for New Mexican Food!!!! Our favorite. Staff is the best. Great manager. Tells great jokes. Love that they have a gluten free menu. read more

Los Dos Molinos - Love Los Dos Molino! Grate gluten free menu and this great gluten free beer from Barcelona! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is the best New Mexico styled food you will ever have. I highly recommend the Adovada Ribs for their tender deliciousness. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I typically accompany my food with a 'Kick Ass' margarita, which is simply delicious. Be careful what you order, spice level can be up there, though! This their motto 'Some Like It Hot!' Whenever I am in the Phoenix area I never miss an opportunity to stop here at least once, never. read more

Very yummy crunchy tacos, and cheese chips were very good! I'll definitely come back to try more.

This is the best hidden secret in Mesa! My husband and I look forward to our date night every Friday at Los Dos If your looking for true authentic Mexico food, you can't beat Los Dos Molinos! read more

Los Dos Molinos - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I just landed a new job out in Mesa so I've been exploring the food in the area. I was craving Mexican. This place has great reviews and there's another location that is supposed to be good as well but I was very disappointed. I got the chicken fundito to go. I got a very very small scoop of rice and beans in the separated to go box, should've taken a pic. There was no sour cream like fundito should have. My burrito was soggy and not deep fried. Wasn't soggy from being taken to go, my work is less than 10 mins up the road. Everything was very bland tasting and I paid $14 for it. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

John and his team at Los Dos Molinos have now catered two recent weddings I have attended. The first was my friends and I kept commenting on how good the food was! When it was my sisters wedding, I called John and him and his team were accommodating, flexible, warm and friendly, and helped advise on menu and amounts! I would happily recommend John and his team to anyone! read more

It is "ok" Mexican food, I have gone there a couple times with friends. Not terrible, but also not great.

Haven't been here in years, thought we'd revisit. Salsa is nice and hot, good chips, which is a plus. I ordered tacos, either the shells were old or they are prepared too far in advance. Left them on my plate and ate the middle out, half the middle, anyways, the other half was some rice or something as a filler. Staff was super friendly and efficient so for their congeniality I have the 3 stars. read more

This is the first, best, and favorite Los Dos Molinos. The meats are all so perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, it blows my mind. The spicy sauces and salsas aren't just hot for hot's sake, even to a wimp like me, the heat comes with such depth of flavor and mastery that it can't really be directly compared to ANY other restaurants. Try this place, and see what I'm on about! Hint: the adovada dishes will change your life. read more

I have driven past this place for about 2 years now. The boyfriend wanted to try it and am I happy he did! The food was damn good. The homemade tortillas are great. But be warned all the food we had had a major kick! We loved it, but all might not. 4 stars because it was a bit pricey. read more

Carne Avavado or Machaca. You can't go wrong with either dish. Also, this was hands down some of the best service I've ever had....anywhere. no B.S. Next time I'm in the Phoenix/Mesa region, I'm making sure this place is on my agenda. read more

I had high hopes for Los Dos. Between the positive reviews, and word of mouth, we dismissed the negative yelp reviews as happenstance. We shouldn't have. First, it took forever to get menus, well after we got our drinks. The 'House' margaritas are horrid - like tequila and Crystal Light! @ $21.00 a pitcher, WAY too much. Then, the food. My companion's chimi was tasteless. Mine was 'okay', but nothing to write home about. The salsa was very spicy, as advertised, and if the entrees and drinks had been better I'd probably return for that. My companion said not on a bet! The only positive comment my companion had was the beer she subbed for the poor margs was cold! The waitress/bartender did not charge us for the margarita pitcher,(because of our complaints!) but took forever to return to collect our payment! I ate half my meal, and my partner left hungry! All-in-all a negative experience. read more

Great food, great salsa, great service. One of my favorite places to eat in the Valley. The staff is attentive and friendly and the food is amazing. Fair warning - if you don't like spicy food then this will not be the place for you. If you are a fan of New Mexican style spicy food then you will love this place. The different salsas are bold enough to make their presence known without overpowering the flavor with searing pain. I really like this place. read more

This is my favorite Mexican/New Mexican restaurant. Excellent service, food, and drinks. The food is quite spicy and prepared very well. Highly recommended. read more

Los Dos Molinos - Enchilada dinner, so good!! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We visited here from Austin, Texas for spring training on the recommendation of a few locals who I trust very much. Los Dos Molinos is the real deal. We experienced amazing food and great service. Over four days, we actually came here twice. This food isn't for the faint of heart -- like true New Mexican cuisine it has a little bit of a kick, but it's precise and intentional. We're looking forward to next year's spring training so we can hit up Los Dos Molinos a few more times. read more

I'm in AZ on vacation, this was a great stop. Very home made: beans, tortillas. Love the green salsa. New Mexico cuisine. Very friendly.

Sangria margarita MF! I seriously love it so much. And Los dos is spicy AF on most of their menu items. I don't mind that one bit. Amazing green chile and salsa. This place is a gem. read more

Really nice place to order food for catering. John was so obliging and treated me to a yummy meal while I waited. Pretty authentic with a nice "bite" to their food. read more

This may not be a fair review as I ordered delivery from this place. The food was just as good as anywhere else. However, you will pay more for the same as opposed to other restraunts. A little too pricey for what you get. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever had. The flavors are rich and always delicious. I can never decide if I like the Victoria's chicken plate or Adobada ribs the best. I've been going to Los Dos Molinos for 11 years now. Specifically the Mesa location. The salsa is Spicy! But so good, completely worth it. Recommend to everyone in the planet. read more

Los Dos Molinos - Chimichanga!!! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have been eating at Los Dos Molinos for over 25 years at 3 of their locations. Absolutely the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. We like it so much that we frequently go to just buy a pint of salsa when we are craving their very unique flavors. read more

Hands down, the best Mexican food in town. My family has cooked with heat my entire life. I'm used to that kick in the tongue. I can't go anywhere else and get the spice levels HOT like I can at Los Dos. That along side the massive flavors, from the salsa to the entrees, you just cant beat it! Fantastic place for margaritas as well. I'm super happy about the happy hour priced margarita with the purchase of their goblet. Heck to the yes! I forgot to mention their staff. Great people, including the owner. Feels like family. #ILoveLosDos read more

I went to this restaurant for the first time more than 20 years ago. First time back and it is still serving up amazing New Mexican food. This restaurant has a staff that is passionate about great service and food that lives up to the hype. read more

Me and family have been coming here for over 20 years. It is the absolute best Mexican food in Arizona. Most locals know of Los Dos Molinos! If it is not on your list for go to spicy Mexican - you're seriously missing out. The food here is delicious and always the best! Good service and fast too!! read more

I was born and raised in Mesa-Gilbert area and I don't know why it took me this long to try this place. This is definitely my favorite Mexican food place now. I highly recommend this place if you like really spicy food, which 99% of the other Mexican restraunts in the Phoenix area does not have. They get really busy but that for a good reason. It just gonna be tough trying to go back since my wife doesn't like spicy food, although there are a few non-spicy options on the menu. read more

If you're in Phoenix Arizona and looking for a good Mexican place to eat, try this place. Spicy, tasty and friendly services, and reasonable pricing. Strongly recommended! read more

Stumbled upon this place on my way back to the hotel. Place is fantastic! Service was prompt and with a smile. Food was awesome! Ordered the carnitas and was awesome. Slow cooker and full of flavor. Homemade tortillas, a drink the size of my head, real salsa...great place for great food, service and drinks. Well done! read more

I love los Dos Molinos. It is true authentic Mexican food spices and delicious, highly recommended.

Being from New Mexico, I have found its very difficult to find quality New Mexican food in the Phoenix area. Los Dos Molinos has awesome and spicy food and the service is great! Several servers and the owner checked in on me during my visit. Food was served quick and the free chips and salsa was a great appetizer. Definitely recommend for New Mexicans looking for a chile fix and everyone else who just wants a great meal! read more

I decided to give this place a try since it had good reviews, though my experience was far from good. The waitress was extremely rude and didn't seem to care about providing any type of customer service. The food was not good at all and when I expressed to the them that I didn't like it they basically looked as if to say "oh well" I will not be returning and would not recommend. read more
