I travel through Boone periodically, but usually eat somewhere else in my journeys. Timing was…read moredifferent during one of my recent trips, so I started thinking about Boone dining options (used to live nearby). Dos Amigos came to mind, though I bet it's been a decade or more since I last ate there, so I had no clue what to expect. As the previous sentence reveals, this restaurant has been a tenant in the New Market Center shopping complex for quite a while. Mexican food and adult beverages seem to belong in a college town, after all. And the restaurant was well attended during my visit, a good sign that the restaurant was still deserving of my business. That said, I was seated and attended to very quickly. The complimentary chips and wide variety of accompanying dips (five options!) were a strong start to the meal. Thankfully, I somehow managed to save enough room for the main event, a lovely plate of carnitas that arrived in a reasonable time. Joining the pork on my plate was guac salad and a healthy portion of beans. I found myself pleased with all the food I was presented. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food I received, and the quality of service I received throughout my stay was excellent. Dos Amigos is a bit noisy, and the dining arrangements do show a bit of wear and tear, but if you don't mind those things I'd call this a smart stop for a filling meal. Maybe one day I won't be traveling onward and I can sample the bar options here...

Can't complain about dos amigos ever. Staff are super friendly and quick with taking orders and…read morehaving you sat. I got the vegetarian E dish tonight and it was done perfectly. We also got the ACP with chorizo and it was really good. Everyone else I was dining with was raving about their dinner as well.

While waiting between appointments, we used Yelp to find spot for a late lunch. With a rating of 4+…read morestars, we gave it a try. The restaurant is very close to the highway, just enough to park and leave. Building isn't the best looking, needs update and more curb appeal. We were seated immediately in the back half of the establishment. Interior is a Mexican theme if course. Music is playing, almost to loud for conversations. Music sounds like the speakers are very inexpensive. The windows were open for a nice breeze but the window screens are ripped, torn, not attached which allows nature to also enjoy the food. The young girl serving didn't speak English well, when asked a question, she had to get another lady to answer. She did check on us, just once during our meal but did refill our drinks and offered a takeout container. The food was good. We ordered the tortas milanese with chicken and ACP chicken. The sandwich was huge and the ACP was a big plate full. IF we order again, it will be takeout or delivery.

The young lady who sat us was very pleasant but when she brought chips she did not inform us that there was a salsa bar at the front so we were left wondering why there was no salsa. Our server was honestly quite rude and acted as if he did not want us to be there - even though the restaurant was empty. Every time we asked for a refill or any other request he would huff and puff which became quite comical. The food though was amazing! Chalupa, burrito, enchilada and chimichangas - everything came out hot and delicious. So maybe prepare yourself for bad service, but I would still highly recommend this place for the food alone!

My family and I were hungry and are also TexMex lovers, so we had to stop in. We all agreed this place was great! We ordered fajitas and two quesadillas (chicken and cheese only). The quesadillas were probably the best I've ever had, and the fajitas were delicious. Everything was seasoned on point. Service was great. Very attentive and made sure we always had chips and our beverages filled. Food also came pretty quickly, especially considering they were pretty busy. The restaurant is also decorated very nicely! It had a really cute bar, and I loved the salsa bar!! Prices were reasonable, as well. If you like good Mexican you MUST try this place out. You can thank me later ;)

First off, go to Los Arcorisis in Boone. They don't screw up your order, and it's great!…read more So I called in a to-go meal at 2 PM. The woman on the phone spoke broken English (which only makes sense considering the current state of our border to the south). I ordered the lunch fajitas. I was specific about beef, and I specifically said Carne Asada. After I picked up my order, I had a few phone calls come in, so I did not witness my food until about 45 minutes later. The only part of the order that they got right was my small side of guacamole. Other than that, they completely botched the order! WTF?!?Mind you by the way, when I entered the restaurant, it was completely dead, aka EMPTY. There was absolutely zero reason for the kitchen to "F" this up. The only reason I gave two stars is because the food looks OK. I have not even tasted it yet. Oh yeah, they forgot the rice too! Seriously?!?!? I doubt this will occur, but TO THE OWNERS... you guys should have kept the original restaurant you had before this. Foggy Rock it was called?? It was great! The appetizer trout tar tar, or whatever it's called was amazing! Sucks that's gone now. Boone/BR already has enough quality Hispanic restaurants. Cut your losses and let this one go.
