Los Dos Amigos

I live 20 minutes away so even though I have eaten there a couple of times, I should eat there more often. Well, both times, the food has been delicious and had service. At lunch, most of the workers make a point to eat there between 11:30 to 1:00 pm. It gets crazy busy. It mellows out after that. That's when I went. The food is regular Tex-Mex with a few other choices. I've been told that breakfast on the weekend is great but so far, I have not been able to go. Overall, the ambiance of this small town restaurant is one of good vibes, good and efficient young servers, and of course, great food.

I eat here once per week. I have been reluctant to review because it's a small town, everyone knows everything. With that in mind, I had to be right. I had to try every item on the menu before I voiced any kind of opinion. Or I know, it would be known. It's the same principle here as measure twice, cut once. Get it right. I say this not to say that because it's a small town, I have to give a good review. I approached this restaurant with the same shrewdness and objectivity as I approach any place. If you will oblige my soap box. Too often we as reviewers base one experience - good or bad - and feel this gives us the right to render judgement on the source of livelihood of another. I wanted to avoid that. And I feel very assured of this review. I've measured, I've watched, I know the weight and the medal it deserves. So let's come out strong, let's come out swinging. Los Dos Amigos is the perfect blend of small town Americana and Tex-Mex. This might sound like an odd blend, even a quizzical one. A juxtaposition even for our friends up North. But just let me explain. What is a small town Americana restaurant? Well it has these qualities: Salt of the earth people. Hard working employees who make an effort to know their customers, who hustle to make sure drinks are filled, chip baskets never run out, salsa is reloaded, and meals are delivered fast. That you feel less like a customer, but more like a friend invited over for dinner. Los Dos does this. They do it better than any restaurant I've ever been a regular at. For those who say "Americana must mean American food!" To you I say, hold on, let me tell you, they do that well. Better than any restaurant in Kerville or comfort. Growing up in San Antonio, and going to a Tex-Mex place it always felt kinda sacrilegious to order anything other than a traditional Tex-Mex item. This place has a very healthy amount of what one might call traditional items that you would find at an American diner. For those who think they would not do them well. You'd be wrong. Their chicken finger plate is a very popular and very well done item. The jumbo shrimp are incredible. Their fries should win some kind of award. Their chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak are perfect. The gravy, well they nail it with the same confidence that every Tex-Mex place brings to their queso. Their price to portion size is also something I cannot stress enough. All portions are big, all prices are meant to meet the pocket of the working man. This is a rare gem in this economy. Feed your family cheap and fast. Give them a sit down meal they'll love, without breaking the bank? That's Los Dos. Their daily specials are all great. I have tried them all. My favorite is the carne guisada. It's simple, delicious, and filling. If I had to find a fault, it would be that my tortilla warmer came with just two of the clearly fresh, made in house tortillas. I'd love six, even stuffed I would devour them all. This meal and their food, well it feels to me as akin to chicken soup for the soul as any dish I have ever had. I want it sick or healthy. It sticks to my ribs and makes me happy. I have yet to order an item and regret it. This is comfort food perfected for the south Texan. What about the table salsa you might ask? Salsa is fresh, chunky, and full of cilantro. I guess if you have the unfortunate gene where it tastes like soap you'd find fault here. But it's great. It reliably good, even for those weirdos who have no spice tolerance. So what fault does this place have? Not one in their control. It would be better if they had margs, but city ordnance in their infinite wisdom forbids it. So they just have beer (maybe wine, never ordered it). It's a great place. It feels like no matter where I sit, it's around my kitchen table.

Excellent chips and salsa from the start! Favorite meals: steak and eggs for breakfast, other meals flauta plate with burrito-style flautas, or a surprisingly great shrimp salad!... Always good service.

Decently priced Tex Mex spot in a small town.The service is great, and the salsa comes quickly. If we had to do it again, we'd skip the enchiladas in favor of the chimichangas.

I have stopped in for breakfast tacos several times, but lunch today was uneatable, or I should say we shouldn't have. The crispy tacos were soggy and the bottoms fell out and my fried chimmychonga was so sogged out it was like an enchilada. We both got sick. Nasty!

My Girlfriend and I have been searching the Kerrville area for months for a great casual Mexican food restaurant and we finally found it! We got a couple ice cold Dos Equis which were served with dressed chilled glasses. The chips and salsa were excellent and fresh. Service was professional and food came out quick the jalapeño enchiladas are fire and the mini tacos were authentic! Can't wait to go back for another meal soon!

This is great real Tex-Mex. Look at this flauta....delicious.Beer comes cold and fully dressed.Mexican cokes.Real enchiladas.Wonderful.

So when I first moved here 13 years ago, Los Dos amigos was one of my favorite restaurants. The food, the ambience and the owner took a lot of pride and would join you and talk to you and say hey how's the food is doing OK. I am sad to say that my last two experiences with Los Dos Amigos has been less than stellar now don't give me wrong. I have hung my head up on this place. I will never order their nachos again. I will never order the beef fajita plate again. Nacho plate that I received and brought home to enjoy. Let me tell you it was disgusting. You know how you have a nacho supreme from let's say Taco Bell you're beans get put on the chips at the time of the order when I received my nachos and I got them home not only was the beans flattened and spread across the bottom of the tray and the chips collapsed under them it was soggy-mush. In order to do that they have to be either really runny or Sit for a long time but the dead giveaway was not one crispy chip with my nachos. They were all soggy and mushy from sitting with the beans. My fajitas the vegetables were slimy and they weren't fresh. It's like they've been sitting in like a pot or pan for more than hour. I know because I've done it and I know what feels like when you let ingredients sit in a slow cooker or on a stove in a pot Becomes mushy. Nothing sustain it integrity I'm sorry Los Dos Amigos going to try to give you guys one more chance on a brighter note since they put on the bar has become a more livelier establishment but again I'm sorry I'm gonna give these guys one more chance and I'll review that one and post it too, but please stop cutting corners. Stop doing your super tacos early in the morning with a bunch of ingredients make them to order, the fresher the better.

Out of margaritas! What??? So we didn't stay for the food. It may have been great. We'll try another time since they've gotten good reviews. Just shocked they had "run out" on a Friday night at 7:00.

Boyfriend and I stopped in for a quick lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is tucked away in the small town of Center Point and isn't flashy, but the food is fantastic and the staff is friendly. Thin and crispy chips, tasty salsa (boyfriend wishes there were onions in it), fresh and creamy queso, and our enchiladas were hot and wonderful. Homemade tortillas as well. I'll definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone.
