My experience was far better than the last time I had been there. The food was actually really, really good. Authentic tasting Mexican food. The service was excellent, as well. read more

Los Tres Amigos FD - Mexican Near Me - Fort Dodge, Iowa

Let me tell you Tres Amigos is not Amigos!!! Now I know why they are never busy!! My daughter and I went out to eat tonight- quesadilla (we split) both get a drink, side a rice with cheese on top. Typical order for us at Amigos around $28 Tres Amigos $48 - when I ordered the waitress never said there is an additional charge for the cheese on rice but instead I was charged over $15 for their cheese!! Service was terrible, when I asked her about it and why it was not clearly stated or anything mentioned, about extra charges when ordering. She said we are not Amigos go there then. Guess what next time I will read more

Had a big family party and they fit us all without delay. Drink orders and food orders we're taken, and all the food came out in short order. The staff was super friendly and the food was very good! The establishment is clean and has a very comfortable vibe!! read more

Very friendly atmosphere and prompt service. I ordered for a pickup and was there within 10 minutes. Food was just getting packaged up as I walked in the door. Quick and Easy! The Queso Birria Tacos are amazing and don't forget to try there Elote! read more

Food was delicious and so was the service! I had a mindis steak and had my tastebuds dancing with joy! I like the colors they use for their walls because it makes it feel more lively like the ambiance of this place feels very welcoming. read more

No chips and salsa. Waiter need to lean english. I order no beans can it came with bean. Got a nasty look when I ask them to remove them. The shells for my fajitas were cold and stuck together. The beer was cold but I had to ask for a lime. read more

Stayed in Fort Dodge for a work function for five days and I wish I would've eaten here each day. Had the chile relleno burrito and my buddy had the fajitas. The restaurant was clean and the staff was definitely friendly and seem to be very attentive. Prices are reasonable and the food portions are good size! Anytime I am back-and-forth Dodge I will stop by this place! read more

horrible service. ordered almost 100$ worth of food, (one thing for five people) missing three sides, (each rice and beans), staff unaware of their own menu (menu lists california burrito, staff has no idea what that even is, then states it's a white sauce burrito (menu shows those as two different things)) was sat and given no info on times, half an hour wait before staff even says anything (to give us the bill). door is loud and obnoxious. not to mention doordash and google have the times wrong on their hours. would give zero stars if i could. read more

Great service and treated by a nice welcome from the owner! Enjoyed some excellent chips and salsa and margaritas on the rocks!! Fantastic enchiladas lasagne and fantastic carne asada..... Just as I have enjoyed in Mexico City! Great place, fabulous greeting, wonderful margaritas, and great night! Loved it! read more

Had to give a 5 star rating to the best Mexican restaurant in Northern Iowa!! I'm really picky about my Mexican food - but these guys really know what they are doing. My favorite Mexican food is carne asada -- and I can honestly say that I have never had better carne asada than I have had here. I don't like anything too saucy/cheesy, but if you're into that they have plenty of options for you. The salsa is so good I could drink buckets of it, and the waiters are pretty on top of their game so they will keep your salsa bowl full. If you're a Margarita fan (who isn't!?!) you can get a margarita here the size of your Cabeza -- and the bartender is pretty generous with the tequila if you get my drift ;) If you're in the area and hungry for some delicious you have to stop here! Great service, good food and plenty of tequila available to keep you satisfied :) There's another Mexican restaurant in town but keep driving -- this is the place you want to eat at!! read more

Los Tres Amigos FD - Huge gigantic Margaritas!! Probably a bad decision, but the best bad decision you'll ever make :) - Mexican Near Me - Fort Dodge, Iowa

All on score of 5 to 1 - with 5 being high: Decor - 2: .. Not sure if this was previously a garage or something that was converted? Throw some Mexican-looking things on the wall and on the small walls and you have yourself some decor. Food - 4: was pleasantly surprised! My favorite part of the visit and was really liking the food. Plated well, tasted great and had a very diverse menu. Everyone in a party liked it - so that's a pretty good testimonial right there Service - 5: food came out about as fast as we ordered it and they did a good job getting the order right for a large party of +15. Price - 4: seemed pretty reasonable for the amount of food. Overall- I would recommend the place for a good low-key Mexican night for a very casual night. read more

Los Tres Amigos FD - View of the place - Mexican Near Me - Fort Dodge, Iowa

Horrible experience!! They gave us the menu. Once we decided what we wanted to order she said sorry. We are short help and just doing pizza and appetisers. She said "I guess I should of told you first." Duh!! So we ordered a pizza and quesadilla Then she came back and said they are not doing Mexican appetisers. REALLY??? I won't waste my time coming back to this place !! read more

Great food. Amazing service. Very friendly staff. Noting but good to say about this place. read more

I understand we are going thru COVID but the prices are getting ridiculous! The queso was 4.95 for dipping chips in. The triple fajita use to be $13 and now $15. Every time we asked for chips and salsa it came with 6 chips in the basket and 1/2 of salsa. I would have filled it up so the waiter didn't have to keep coming back to our table. The beans were not good. It's like they just put beans on your plate from a can. No cheese sauce on the beans. You don't even know what you are ordering or what is in the dish as some stuff is not listed because it is paper menus. You can't read the menu as every item is in small print. I know a precaution with COVID. I can go other restaurants and get a regular menu. It's not hard to sanitize menus. This use to be my favorite place to go. I think I will go to Hacienda or Lomitas from now on. read more

LOVED coming here, it was refreshing to taste real mexican food after having taco bell and taco tico thrown in my face upon moving here from AZ. The restaurant and the people are amazing. Our server was so kind and hilarious! I felt right at home. Not to mention how clean and beautiful the tables were, hand-painted works of art!! Don't waste your time or money at taco tico or Lomita's this is the spot to be at. I recommend the 3 tacos pescados I normally hate tilapia, but their fish was so fresh it didn't even smell. Definitely will be a repeat customer!! Thank you so much you guys are amazing! read more

Salsa and food was incredible! Service was outstanding, can't recommend enough! Went with fajitas.

Food was good. Service was good. Could have been a bad time, but the waitress could not make a michelada. Over priced food and drinks. Would not go back. read more

Great food and fast and friendly service!!! See ya again soon! Food was fast and our server was awesome!!!

Margarita lacked flavor. I'll give them props for real strawberries, but a little flavor would have helped it. It was almost bitter. Not very good at all. Food was bland. Salsa lacked...flavor and "heat". Food was good but the same theme remained. Wait staff acted like they were scared of us. Was actually amusing... 1 star for that..but other than that..I can make better food at home. Very disappointed. read more

The Margaritas are delicious the bacon wrapped jalapeños was cool perfect the waitress was on her job very attractive. We didn't have to wait for anything. Would be five stars if I could of ordered a steak read more

Well this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Fort Dodge. Love the food and authentic food.

First time visit. Ordered the tostada salad and it was very good. A little light on the carne asada. And for nearly $10.00 I side of beans would have been good. I would estimate the cost of that meal was less than a dollar so their profit margin was huge! Very nice staff and attentive to our needs. Cleanliness was good but the interior decor was an eye sore and the place could definitely use an update. Especially the green paint. Guacamole was fresh and delicious. I loved the salsa. Definitely would go again. read more

My husband and I came here for a late lunch today. The food was amazing. The salsa was the best I've had in a long time - it tasted so fresh. I had the combo meal and my husband had a shrimp dish and both were incredible. The restaurant is a little out of the way so it's easy to forget about it, but I'm going to remember it for the next time I have a hankering for Mexican food. Gracias! read more

This place was dirty they had sucky food and Stucky prices their Margaritas are 825 that's ridiculous are beans taste like poop in their rice is cold read more

They have jacked their prices waaaaay up. I'm assuming because of covid but honestly they are so unreasonable. $8.95 for a kids meal! That doesn't include a drink. You'll have to pay an additional $2.80 for that and will only get 1 refill. I feel like that is asking a lot for such a small portion of food. If you want to add shredded cheese to anything they are charging you $3 I've ate here many times prior to covid. Last night was our 1st time back in close to a year. I went with my husband and our 2 kiddos. He got a bottled Corona , each of the kids got a kids drink and I got a soda. After looking at that menu and realizing what a joke they were we decided to go else where. The server was a stuck up b***h the whole time which made it an easy choice. $19.50 is what our bill was....for our drinks. Like W.T.F. Did she charge us for the chips and salsa she put on the table that we didn't eat??? Or were our drinks 5 bucks each? After the pandemic they will have pissed of so many local customers it won't matter how high they jack their prices nobody will want to come back. read more

GREAT FOOD! AMAZING MARGARITAS! This is the best Mexican place to eat at in Fort Dodge! Yes, even better than Lomitas!

Building was terrible. We drove past it not thinking it was still open. Went back and enjoyed chicken fajitas and burritos. Not much flavor just ok. read more

We've been going to Tres Amigos ever since they opened in Ft. Dodge. We have always had great service and great food! They have always gone to great lengths to make our visit special. Cesar, Adrian and Hector will treat you well. read more

Ignore the three star below. I had a margarita on the rocks, fiancé had their special margarita - both good. I have tried their tacos con carne asada, and the flauntas, my fiance had tried their choripollo and their house burrito. So far we've loved every bite. Service is excellent and they recognized us from last time. I appreciate their friendliness and suggestions. We like this place so much we want to keep trying to come back even though we are out of town. read more

What about places all. Kind of a strange building and the layout is different. I had the fajitas with pork and I really liked it. Wasn't bad at all. A little Tex Mex style but still is good. The margaritas on the rock are awesome read more

I love their food and they have great service, one of my most favorite places to enjoy a nice meal. Every one there is very nice to my family and me. This place is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant's! read more

When you first drive up to this place, don't let it discourage you from the excellent meal you will get. Anyone who has been anywhere other than a resort in Mexico would know this is identical to most Mexican restaurants in the ambiance. Food was excellent, and service was awesome. You can't get much better in the middle of Iowa! read more

Food was okay but service was bad. Some foods were cold when we received them. Some people in our party had already finished their food while others were barley getting theirs. And there were a couple of mistakes on our order. This is not an ideal place to eat for big parties due to the lack of employees. read more

My favorite Mexican place in town! Staff is amazing! And the margaritas ... my favorite is the traditional on the rocks fish bowl to share

Food was good but I will not be returning. I had three beers was charges for four when i brought this up the waitress said I had four without even thinking. I was with a large group with kids so it was a little hectic but I know i had three and so er people at the table told me they knew I only had three. I also had to wait a long time between beers and they automatically charge a 15% tip. Wish them luck but they lost a customer over 3 dollars. read more

Very authentic Mexican food. Attentive and friendly staff. Great time, great music, great atmosphere and clean.

Food is good and cheese sauce is the best in town. I'm giving it three stars for the service. I'd rate even lower if it weren't for the cheese sauce. In town from Arizona, I visited this restaurant for the cheese sauce specifically. It was mid afternoon, so I wasn't in need of a full lunch or dinner meal. We were one of 3 tables and throughout the time both our drinks and chips were not refilled once! When brought the bill, it is was put on our table rather rudely. I put a debit card out to pay and was told I'd have to purchase more as they don't run cards less than $10. I asked where it states this and the waiter didn't know, but did know that it costs the restaurant $0.50 more to run a card less than $10. I've been to this restaurant more times than I can count, ordering the same thing and not ONCE have I been told such. If this truly is the case then please specify this to customers!! Either way, this does not warrant rude behavior to paying customers. Beware!! read more

Excellent service every time we are here. Food is good, salsa is best I've had. Try camerones a la crema! We have tried almost everything and it's very good. Fairly fast but not so fast you wonder if they even cooked it. read more

In town for Leader Dog Day at Fort Dodge Correctional Facility, and hungry for some authentic Mexican food we went to probably the only one in town; Tres Amigos, Was surprised with the quality of food especially the guacamole. Service was prompt and excellent. No ambiance; it's in a strip mall with a motorcycle dealership next door but well worth the short drive from downtown Fort Dodge read more

Have tried twice now. Food delicious but unfortunately service and wait time unacceptable. Had to repeatedly ask for refills, went through 3 basket of chips waiting on 2 dishes that took nearly 45 minutes to deliver that were ordered right off the menu, waiters unfriendly. Restaurant was not busy and appeared to only have 1 cook on this visit, but last visit 9 months ago was very similar with poor service and exceptionally long wait time. Won't return. read more
