Dos Amigos Mexican - Byron

As a former Southern California resident for 18 years, I 'm always on the hunt for authentic Mexican cuisine. Walking in, it has the look and feel of a touristy type place meets dive bar. The staff is very personable. Pretty busy Friday night but we were served pretty quickly. Ordered the guacamole and was not overly excited. Not chunky and felt watered down . The fajitas rancheros were well seasoned and very flavorful. Only provided with four tortillas but was able to ask for more. So good flavor for the most part but not truly authentic Mexican food.

We came in around noon on a Saturday and got seated right away and the sever came quickly with warm nachos and salsa. The salsa was blended to a sauce and a little bland but okay. I ordered the chicken taquitos and my husband ordered a burrito which came with rice and beans. The taquitos were greasy to the point the grease was dripping onto the plate. So unfortunately that overpowered the whole flavor. It was served with a pico de gallo which was on it's way out and guacamole that was just okay. My husband said his burrito was bland but the rice and beans were good. It is cute inside and a little worn but clean.

There was plenty of parking and entry was somewhat handicap accessible. The restaurant inside and out looked clean and well kept. The restroom was very clean and handicap accessible. I wouldn't say the service was great, it was ok nothing good or bad stands out no was overly friendly or that efficient. The food was ok some of our plates were very hot while one wasn't even warm. The flavor of the rice was very good and we all enjoyed it. The chips were unique and tasty. The salsa was very good both the mild and the house made hot was outstanding. The chimichanga was good but nothing different than most chimi's. The cheese quesadilla was flat, dried out and flavorless. The cobo plate was ok, the taco consisted of shell, ground beef and lettuce. The burrito was ground beef wrapped in a flour shell with a little tiny bit of cheese on top. The enchilada was ground beef wrapped in a shell with a little red sauce on it. The meat was the same in all of them and it was very light on flavor. The prices were consistent with most Mexican restaurants in the area.

Very blah. Quality has declined so much over the years. Can't think of a redeeming quality to post.

I know people seem to rave about this restaurant but I can't agree! Today I had the WORST taco salad there I've ever had! Soggy shell, runny cheese, gray looking hamburger and one slice of sad looking tomato! It was really awful!!
