We went to this restaurant and was completely blown away by it!!.. Once you step inside you forget you are in Raleigh, I dont know how they come up with the decor but it is very cool.. We did have to wait for our table but I guess that just shows how popular this place is.. We got our 'Gold' margaritas and sat outside and waited for them to call on us, we were given a toy instead of taking our name, just another unique and cool thing about this place.. Once we did get to our table, the server was very friendly, she told us about the menu and the special then gave us adequate time to relax.. I got the Steak Tacos which had been highly recommended to me by a friend, they were SO right!.. If you go you HAVE to get them!.. Have read some of the other comments, i agree it is not cheap but then again, if it was I very much doubt it would be anywhere nearly as good as it is.. Overall i would say you MUST go and check it out.. Pros: The food, the drinks, the atmosphere Cons: Waiting time, but worth it

Of all of the Mexican restaurants in town, Dos Taquitos is certainly the finest. From the outside, the appearance can be deceiving. The restaurant is located in a rather bland, non-descript strip mall. However, once I stepped foot inside, it felt like I had been transported to Mexico. The atmosphere is simply amazing. The bric-a-brac that lines the walls is unique and fascinating. While the atmosphere is superb, the food is what made my visit truly worth while. I had the chilaquiles, and they were the best I?ve ever had. Spicy, flavorful, complex?.and most of all filling. My dinner, punctuated with a few deliciously strong margaritas, was completed with a plate of bread pudding for desert (I cannot recall the name on the menu). It was amazing! The spectacular food, plus fast and friendly service, made Dos Taquitos a truly unique experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Mexican food. Pros: Amazing Service Cons: Closed on Sundays

Wow!!! is this place over-rated!! It is a mystery to me why folks patronize this place, or, worse yet, to claim it is a good mex restaurant. First of all, it is mexican only by the names of food on their menu (enchilada; quesadilla, etc) and the chips and salsa, but the actual food is poorly prepared, small amounts of pseudo-mex food (bad rice; bad refried beans; mis-represented enchiladas...meaning that the components promised on the menu are not necessarily present, etc). And, ooweee! are the prices ever high for a so-called mex restaurant! 12 to 15 dollars for worse-than Taco Bell dinners. I think folks who return to Dos T. like all the schlock hanging on the walls (partitions), making them feel as though there are in Juarez or some Latin land. I base my remarks on many visits -- not visits by choice, but because of 'having to' meet for social/professional purposes....so I know what I am talking about. In conclusion: you will do much better for quality at Taco Bell, and, if you go to Dos T., prepare to get ripped off for high drink and dinner prices. Bad, bad, bad..all around.....the owners ought to be embarrassed to serve the meager, poor quality that they serve...EMBARRASED !!!! (and they're not even Mex -- they are Columbian) Pros: they provide plenty of chips; salsa is good Cons: expensive, for the cheesy, meager amts of questionable food

I am reading all of these reviews for Dos Taquitos and am just wondering if only the disgruntled people write reviews. I have been eating at Dos Taquitos for eight years and have NEVER had a bad experience with the food. it is a bit higher priced but I have never left feeling hungry. Maybe the people slamming the food would rather go somewhere cheap and generic like el rodeo? I LOVE DOS TAQUITOS.

We had a party of around ten, got there around 7pm. They just kept bringing chips and asking for drink orders. Finally got to order about an hour later. The place was not all that crowded - Tuesday night. Food arrived about 50 minutes later. Several people at the table did not eat much of their meal and everyone had different things. A few had about 3-4 Margaritas and said they never tasted a drop of alcohol. Way, way, way overpriced. Would not return or recommend. Pros: Interesting, eclectic decor Cons: Lousy service that just pushes drinks, unimpressive food

Been here several times in the past 3 years and liked it, but recently went with a large group in May and found it awful!! The service was unprofessional, the drinks (margaritas) were bad, several items on the menu were no longer available and this info came with indifference. 3 diners hated their meals and left them, 3 felt it was mediocre food. The atmosphere is still charming, but that is the only good comment I can make.

We went here to try a different Mexican than we usually go to. The atmosphere was fun and the service was good. The food is another story, the margaritas were supposed to be made with fresh lime juice, they were not, and $7 each. I wanted to order the empanadas which they didn't have, so I ordered the safe bet enchiladas, They arrived with 3 different sauces, a scant amount of red green, and a white icing, yes as sweet as cake icing, on the third one also, it was also all over my husbands stuffed pepper which wasn't skinned and was so tough he coundn't cut it, much less bite it. When I asked the waiter what was in this sauce he said yogurt and I asked him what the sweet part was he didn't know. I think the chef got mixed up between sweetened yogurt and plain. They obviously don't taste their own food before they serve it. It was horrible. Just drink here. B

We were looking forward to the good Mexican food, but couldn't continue eating after we found a cigarette butt in our basket of chips. We thought they were supposed to throw out the chips after each use at a table. I know that the food is supposed to be good , but we haven't been able to stomach the thought of going back
