Best carnitas EVER!!!! I was able to cut it with a butter knife!!!! Effing loved it!!! I will edging be back!!! I would have taken a pic but I didn't think about it until I woofed down this delicious dish!!! read more

When we went to pay we wanted to split the check 50/50... They put EVERYTHING on my card and LOST my boyfriends card somewhere behind the bar!!!! We had to leave our table to go behind the bar to get it back! There was 5+ employees trying to find his credit card!!! Absolutely the worst restaurant I've ever been to! read more

It's quite easy to make something hot. The trick is to make it flavorful and hot. Los Dos Molinos only knows hot. They have no idea about flavor. End of story. read more

I fully expected to love this place as we're fans of the other locations and were so excited to see the sign on Camelback. I give this location a big FAIL for service. We were seated up front near the bar area by the guy I assumed was the owner/manager/full time bull-ish-er who spent the entire time visiting with a couple at the bar. My boyfriend asked for a soda and waters as we were being seated. The busser brought water,chips and salsa immediately and that was the last bit of 'good' service we received. It took the waiter forever to come to our table just to take the order or even acknowledge we were there, again asked for soda. It took quite a bit of time for the soda to finally make an appearance at which point the food was delivered. During our meal we tried flagging down the waiter 3 times to ask for drink refills. At one point he looked directly at us, nodded, and proceeded to forget about us. After several attempts to flag him down I physically started waving my hands in the air as if I was stranded on an island waiting for a rescue but still not one single waiter/busser or captain BS at the bar seemed to notice or care. (and yes Mr. Bartender sir I DID in fact see that you saw and did nothing to alert the staff) I understand talking to customers is part of the business but it shouldn't be at the expense of others. I'll even give you that it was their opening week however there's no excuse for blatantly ignoring clients sitting 2 feet from you while you do nothing but chat it up with the cute lady at the bar. Not once did the waiter come to ask how we were or to check on us. The place wasn't that busy but even if it were the guy at the bar could've, you know, just peeked his head up to see how everyone was doing. The food is good but not good enough to make me come back. And what's up with the horrendous decor. We had to eat in the corner with a marble bust of Geronimo giving us the evil eye! read more

So the bartender was amazing. Didn't get her name but Amazing. But to the owner, please get away from the Pre Made Margaritas. They tasted like Lime Gatorade and tequila. And way over priced for a pre made drink. We always look for local areas for great food and drinks but a little disappointed. 50 dollars for 4 drinks and one app. Sorry but a one time deal for us. read more

This place is amazing.... if u can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen.... homemade sauce and salsa... my go to place... the drinks are amazing friendly staff... and best of all family owned... what an amazing family and restaurants.... read more

The food here is not very good and I love New Mexican style. Its expensive for what you get. I will say that the chips and salsa here are decent and have a good amount of kick. I usually have gone during my lunch and the mexican waiter working here during that time is just a dick! Seriously you need to treat people better you are in the hospitality business. read more

So, I moved out here to the Valley from Illinois in 1989, taking a job in Mesa. Often for lunch, we would go down Main St. to Los Dos Molinos, where Victoria and her family had moved down from Springerville to pump out amazing food in an old Der Weinerschnitzel. I watched as the family got so busy that they opened the Alma School location and later the Phoenix South Central location. The sign out front of this Camelback/Uptown location says "New Mexican" cooking. So let's correct this upfront. It's not the New Mexican cooking style of Santa Fe and Albuquerque; Los Dos Molinos is and has always been a unique style specific to the border of Arizona and New Mexico. Today is the first time that I visited the Camelback/Uptown location. My impression is this...the care of the family's cooking is still there, but the heat has been toned down from the family's earliest days in Mesa and Phoenix. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I recall my first visit to the South Central location not long after they opened. I remember the intense chile heat starting with the salsa and chips all the way through every taste of the meal. We're talking tongue-numbing, eye-watering chile heat (that's not a complaint, I like heat.) Today at the Uptown location, the heat was suggested but not overwhelming. Stepping inside, this location has immediate character and warmth. We sit at the bar and immediately get friendly service. Chips and both salsa verde and salsa roja arrive quickly. Both salsas have a fresh bite to them and are delicious. I order the adovada enchilada "Christmas" and my other half orders the chimichanga, shredded beef, both with beans and rice. The adovada was large pieces of well-cooked pork, the shredded beef was tender and flavorful. We finished every bite and agreed that we would be back. For environment, service and satisfaction when one has a hunger for Arizona-Mexican cuisine, this will be high on the list. read more

Horrible. I did not like this place at all. It appears that they just want to showcase how hot they can get their food. Even the regular salsa (which at most places I tolerate) like liking the gates of hell. I'm currently pregnant and sensitive to spicy foods right now but this was was absurd. I ordered the chicken tacos and it seemed like the meat was simply covered in black pepper and that was it. We will not be returning. read more

This location is much cuter and has more character than the Mesa Location on Alma School Rd. The staff are friendly & attentive! The chile rellenos are delicious and their salsas are very spicy & flavorful! Love this place! read more

I would have given this place 4 stars just based on the food, but the customer service was absolutely horrible today. In addition they thought our party didn't pay enough when in fact we actually paid and left the waitress a tip. they really need to learn how to use a calculator or update their point of sale system. Don't get me wrong the food is delicious, this experience cemented that we will never visit this location ever! read more

Prickly Pear Margarita is out of this world. Take an uber home if your drinking here :)

Amazing food, ambiance, drinks, service and setting! We are never disappointed!! We especially love the spicy New Mexico-Mexican cuisine

Great salsa with some real heat, strong margaritas and the flautas were great. We also ate at the New York City location before they closed it. Will definitely go back if I'm ever in Phoenix again. read more

Great New Mexico chili based dishes. Fresh, tasty margarita's (try the spicy jalapeño, yum). Friendly staff and great service...

This place is amazing one of my all-time favorite places to go eat if you don't like spicy foods you should not go. The enchilada dinner is the best and their margaritas are so good The staff is nice friendly and very helpful. Definitely going to be going back. read more

Had time between appointments and needed lunch. As I drove by, I thought "sounds good", I like New Mexican cuisine. Great food. I had the Pork platter. Excellent. I enjoyed their green chili sauce. Very flavorful without burning my mouth. One of my best impulse stops in a long time. read more

Awesome food! Carnitas are fantastic. Good service for lunch. Love this place! Authentic.

My new standard for Mexican food! The food is perfectly spicy walking the delicate balance of spice and flavor. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only complaint I could imagine is that the food and salsa is too spicy, but of you like spicy food, you'll love Los Dos Molinos. I can't wait to return! read more

I love Los Dos Molinos! Every location is great; this just happens to be the one closest to my house. Margaritas are fantastic, but the real reason to go is the Carne Adovada. Delectable and perfect every time. Staff is great, and many nights you can even see the owner sitting in the back corner rolling silverware. It feels like I'm part of the family when I walk in. read more

Well the chips and salsa were good while it lasted now been waiting 15 minutes for refills on our sodas and chips. I had to get up and find our server just to get those and he seemed upset that I even asked. Waiting on our food order to come which was taken about 20 more minutes. Oh did I mention we waited for a table for 25 minutes when they said 10 then we get shoved in the corner with a loud family blehh read more

Yummo! As good as spicy food gets! I get the #1 every single time I come and its amazing! Keep up the good work Drew and fam!

Love this place! Salsa will kill you if you're a baby like me, but I can't stop eating it! Servers have always been super helpful and nice, and the place is decorated very well! If you go at prime time, expect to wait, this place gets packed. read more

I come here all the time. With just a party of 2 or an actually party of 15. I have never had a problem with the service. The food is always excellent as well as the margaritas! The salsa is amazing it is very spicy but has great flavor! read more

used to frequent this place when it was Padre's. It was a favorite. When it was replaced with Los Dos Molinos we had high hopes. the service was bad and the food was worse. There seemed to be a lot of people running around not knowing what to do. Padre's had half the staff and still new how to treat customers. We miss you. Not going back. read more

I know that a ton of people like this place but I've never been impressed. The spice level is too much to be enjoyable so I tried something that wasn't listed as spicy. I had the chicken taco salad and the chicken was good but there was no real flavor to the dish. The Camelback location (where I ate today) did have really good service which is completely different than the experience that I had at the Ahwatukee location awhile back. So many better options for Mexican food in this area. read more

Way over priced unless you want to pay $5 for a little taco. Los Dos is not the Los Dos of 1997. Go to Cheesecake Factory and get your money worth. read more

Before this was Los Dos Molinos it stood as Padres Mexican Cuisine owned by a father and son. I worked here for one summer so naturally when they sold Padres I returned a few months later to try out the new replacement. When I first walked in I was taken back by all the lights and carefully hung snowflakes (it was December) but it looked beautiful and set a very nice atmostphere to be in. The food was pretty good, not the most authentic mexican food I've had but there were no complaints about it. The same head bus boy from when I worked was still there giving attentive service as always! Over all still a really great place to go for dinner if youre in the area or want to try something new. I only wish that the owner would give in and start having live music every Friday night as Padres did. It makes for a nice edge and always drew tons of people in and of course was always a blast. read more

The menu states, "You order it, you own it!"! Yes, this place is not for spicy food light weights! My margarita was awesome, even though they made it without the Agave syrup, as requested. It packed a punch! Thank you! And my chimichanga was sooooo good! I think I heard angels singing instead of the mariachi band? I am a green sauce person, my guest is a red sauce person. So, we ordered our usuals, green sauce chimichanga for me and a red sauce wet burrito for him! After our food arrived, we did our typical food swap..... To my surprise, even though I loved my green chimichanga in front of me, I loved the red even more! He loved MY green sauce more than his red! Sauce so good it made us change teams! Sauce teams that is! . What a beautiful food experience! Can't wait to go back and try more menu items! read more

Here's the thing.... You can feel the quality of the meat in each bite and you can taste a hint of a yummy marinade here and there but they really overdid the spicy thing here. Spicy is an understatement. I like spicy food, but you can take a crappy burrito and add original spicy salsa to it and it could taste decent. But why do this to amazingly thoughtful Mexican food? I think thy should take it down a notch so you can truly enjoy the quality of the tastes that they have masked in their tender meats and marinades. I would have given it 5 stars with the ambiance and grub but, unfortunately 3 for now. Ps service is great. Love that there are all different ages doing there too. read more

AMAZING FOOD! If you like it spicy hot this is the place for you. If you can drink liquid fire that is their salsa you will be very happy. Everything is homemade and great. Pour on their sauces and salsas and you have a party in your mouth and belly. Wash it down with an ice cold adult beverage and it is the perfect desert combination. I have been a fan of Los Dos for years and been to their locations. This looks to be a promising place for it to hold steady closer to the city masses. read more

First time stopping at this restaurant while on vacation. When we first walked in we were given no menu's I had to get them myself. Food came out fast, rice was undercooked and hard, the food was cold. Just paid the check and left did not eat the food. read more

I've just not had better Mexican food!! Period!!! I was introduced to their restaurant over 30 years ago in Springerville, AZ. The first time I'd heard of or had a Chimichanga. I didn't even like hot, spicy foods then but they converted me. I've loved their food ever since but was without it for more than 25 years while living in Colorado. Having recently moved to Phoenix I went looking for the restaurant as I knew they had a Phoenix location, at least way back then. Thank heavens they have several in the Phoenix alley! If you life hot spicy well prepared classic Mexican food, you have to try Los Dos Molinos. I've truly not had better in all my years. I had a favorite mom & pop Mexican food restaurant in Colorado that still makes the best hot green chili sauce, but Los Dos's food is better. It's definitely sooo much better than the Macayo's and other chain Mexican food places and so far, beats all other mom & pop, non-chain local mexcan food places like Federico's, Filiberto's, Julioberto's (and any other that sound much the same as those three places) Lupita's, Caramba's, Salsita, etc. Want it hot? Want it tasty? Then you want Los Dos Molino's! (I have no affiliation with Los Dos, nor am I asked/paid to review them.) read more

The best New Mexican cuisine around! We moved from Chicago 2 years ago and went all over Phoenix looking for good Mexican food. The bartender at Garcias told us to come to los dos for flavor and spice. Los dos although New Mexican cuisine has replaced our need to find Mexican food. We love the environment and the family who runs it. They are welcoming, friendly and inclusive. They are like family to us not just a business. Authentic and deliciously spicy!! We love it here, won't spend our money elsewhere. Margaritas here are worth the price unlike chilis or other establishments that serve you crap margaritas iced and watered down and no alcohol. Sandy, Drew, Rena, Pedro you all are the best!!! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Phoenix. Carne avocado in anything they make is the best.

Amazing Mexican food. I'm from NY/NJ and the food here makes me so envious of Phoenix.

Well this was our first and last time here. The rice was undercooked and crunchy and the beans were very bland and smelled funny. The salsa was good, honestly I expected more spice!!! Not the case. We were never checked on during the meal until the very end. The music they were playing was of great variety!! read more

This is a small and undoubtedly underappreciated gem, recommended by a friend. Lovely patio, out of this world food. Margaritas are generous and well-done. Next visit to Phoenix, I will absolutely be back. read more

I thought it was pretty good - I wished that I had known that the chicken was light and dark meat - I would've chosen something different, had I known.... read more

They were open for Cinco de Mayo, very understaffed! Especially for Cinco! It took FOREVER TO EVEN GET WATER. Our friends had arrived 45 minutes earlier and had just gotten their margaritas. So my husband and I ordered ours, 15 minutes passed, nothing, 20, 25, 30 minutes and counting. We finally were able to flag a server down and he was like "oh your drinks should be waiting, they are probably at the bar waiting right now." We said "no thanks, can we just get the checks please?" Absolutely terrible service, but they were extremely understaffed. read more
