Although the staff is quite friendly and attentive, the food is average at best. It benefits from being in a good location, across from Revolution and Cafe Mustache, with other things of interest going on, but the best this food itself can muster is a meh.
You would be *far* better off eating at Taqueria Moran around the corner on California, for tastier, more "authentic" food, at far cheaper prices, given the quality.
I'm at Cole's Bar all the time and this place stays open until midnight (or later?) and it's a great place to get cheap food when you're drunk. It's near a good number of bars and I'm sure that's amazing for business. I love the chicken tacos with sour cream and avocado. Chips and dip aren't bad either!
Review Source:Got the pollo a la milanesa in a torta for just over  $5. I hadn't eaten for several hours and figured I might as well eat the whole thing, but I should have saved the other half after I had checked out a couple of local bars instead. I was somewhat uncomfortably full, but it was yummy. Aioli/mayo(?), avocado, refried beans, cilantro, and a whole slew of other toppings made up for the chicken being a bit dry, but still tasty. If I lived in the area I could see hitting up this place regularly after hanging out at the bars down the street.
Review Source:Stopped in 2 Amigos for late night eats with a friend that swears by their Tortas. Since my friend knew their "system" of ordering at a little window close to the kitchen, then sitting down to dine in, that's what we did.
Dining in would not even be my choice, here. Other than the cool funky carved murals, dos Amigos is dark and uninviting. No music playing, waitstaff seems not super friendly. Dos thumbs down!
When our food was delivered to our table in a brown paper bag, I knew that something got lost in translation regarding us dining in. And putting the bag on our table and walking away was even less cool.
I ordered two tacos and the Al Pastor pork was delightfully spiced. Get it with avocado. The carne asada taco was okay. My friend loved their torta, so mission accomplished there, I guess. Mexican places are a dime a dozen in Chicago, so the crappy ones like 2 Amigos aren't worth a repeat visit in my opinion.
What can I say on a Saturday night we were able to find a table right away which was great since a few other places we attempted to try were over an hour wait. Â Our waitress was nice and they food came pretty quickly. Â Our tacos were pretty tasty (I had streak and my friend a veggie), sauces not too bad, but the guac was very plain jane. Â This place is A-OK in my book!
Review Source:I got a Chicken burrito last night.
Took it home, and the whole thing was soggy and wet. Â It fell apart easily and was difficult to eat and messy. Â It had almost no chicken in it!
The worst part is that halfway through I bit down on a chicken bone that was the size of my finger. Â
Not to mention how my stomach felt after all that.
I will not eat here again.
Used to live right above this place in Chicago, and their chimichangas and burritos were only 2nd best to La Pasadita (only true Chicagoans know about this place).
I would also order the rice and beans with cilantro and many many limes, and would be pleased, because they capitalize on the quality of that simple pleasure.
The spot is spacious and great for groups. All the employees are super nice and friendly. That makes for the best experience. I think service is underrated.
BEST FRIGGIN TACOS
I love this place. Live down the street. Service is always super nice, all the meats and ingredients always taste so fresh. Seriously, been in Chicago a few years and love Mexican, and these are hands down my favorite tacos (for 1.90!).
Good price margaritas and great Gauc and chips too.
Typical Mexican joint in LS.
However, their tortas never cease to amaze me- Steak torta with guac, sour cream, etc- for UNDER 5 DOLLARS? Yes please. Weighs about a pound and will make you very, very happy. Also, the tacos are decently priced for the amount of meat you get- but of course, cheese/sour cream are extra.
Don't splurge on the margs or anything like that- get it to go and make your own tasty Hispanic beverages at home, because Vos Foremost Liquors is just down the street. :)
Yet another lovely Logan Square taco joint.
Did you NOT expect to wait 90 minutes with your party of five at Revolution on Friday at 7pm? While Rev's a great place, screw it, and come to 2 Amigos.
I've been here several times, and have had Flautas, tacos, a burrito, and enchiladas. Everything I've had has been great. The Al Pastor they have here is great, as is the carne asada, pollo, and barbacoa. You get 4 flautas or enchiladas in and order, pretty good portion size I must say.
The burrito is "their specialty," and I can see why. It's goddamned HUGE, and really cheap. My only issue is the inclusion of too much inside. I'm a fairly huge adherent to the idea of burrito = meat, onions, cilantro...maybe cheese, maybe a slap of beans, but maybe on both, and never anything more. These guys stuff their burrito with lettuce, tomato, and I believe sour cream as well. All that stuff is GOOD, don't get me wrong, I just don't care for it in a burrito. But, they'll gladly make it for you however you'd like.
Their chips are fantastic, and the green salsa strikes the perfect balance between being hot enough to taste like its real, without being so hot you can't eat it.
This review is based on drinks only.
I really want to actually give this place 2 stars because the service is pretty sub par, although the staff is sweet & more importantly the drink prices are offensive BUT .... That's my bad because I didn't actually look at the prices when I ordered, so who is really to blame?
1 pitcher of totally mediocre margarita - $24. No f*cking way. Really wish I had read the menu.
4 Tecates at $5 bucks each. Might I add these are CAN Tecates. Yeah.
$50 bill. I kind of hate this place now. But again, thats my bad for not reading.
Their red salsa is good, their other salsa is flavorless and overly spicy. Their chips are whatever.
We were chilling here on our 1 and 1/2 hour wait for Rev Brew across the street. Next time, I don't  know, don't wait here & don't even bother going to Rev Brew either. Hit up 4 Suyos around the corner on Fullerton & California and ensure you have yourself a delicious dinner worth the price.
I was craving some Caldo De Res on a chilly Chicago night and was told this is the place to get it and to my surprise it was DELICIOUS!!!! Tasted just like abuelas homemade Caldo De Res! I never tried anything else here but I will definitely be back if ever in the mood for Caldo De Res and I don't have the time to cook it! :) I was also told the tacos de pastor are GOOD!!
Review Source:This place is depressing. Garish compact fluorescent lightbulbs in every socket make for a weird atmosphere, and when we were there, there were lots of screaming kids, no music, and the TVs were on mute.
The chips are the super cheap corn kind--never my fave--but the rest of the food is OK if you're in the mood for very casual, predictable Mexican.
We went on a night when my sister was visiting from out of town, and I very much regretted not taking her to a better tried-and-true place like 90 Miles just down the street.
A group of friends and I were trying to eat at Revolution across the street but there was a long wait so we figured we'd go across the street and get nachos as an app and a couple drinks. It was nothing special.
The service was good, our server was nice, the food took a little while (especially since it was just nachos) but it held us over. Overall, nothing amazing but it's just fine if you're starving! I need to come back and try an actual meal there.
I've made it a personal goal to try every Mexican joint in Logan Square. Â Perhaps this is overambitious, but I'm off to a good start.
My friend and I headed to 2 Amigos to grab dinner before heading to The Whistler for a jazz performance and drinks. Â The restaurant was relatively empty and as a result, our service was attentive and prompt. Â (While we were waiting for our food my friend was mesmerized by the telenovelas that the restaurant was screening.)
I ordered the vegetable fajitas - and a few minutes later, was presented with a sizzling plate of veggies and a generous helping of corn tortillas, rice, and beans.  Although enjoyable, satisfying, and filling, I cannot report the same rave reviews as some of the other folks on Yelp.  I do know that 2 Amigos is open late-night, perhaps my opinion will change if I have a few drinks at Bonny's, dance a bit, and then stop by  for fajitas once more.
Sitting outside my buddy Sisco's house waiting for the time to arrive where we'd leave for Rocky Horror in Milwaukee one crisp Fall evening I decided I needed tacos and horchata. Good tacos and good horchata. Nay, excellent tacos and excellent horchata. So I called Sisco who, as an actual Latino person, I assumed would know where I could procure said food of said quality. 2 Amigos, he said. So to 2 Amigos I went. I just said tutu. I didn't mean to.
The interior is nice and warm, not at all what I was expecting. I put in my order for 3 steak tacos with onion and cilantro and a large horchata. A short while later I had my food and went back out to eat. The tacos were bundled up in a little paper tray and covered with wax paper. Like they were hiding from me. But there's no need to hide, little tacos! I'm just going to eat you!
The tacos were decent! I've definitely had better but these were a good mix of well done meat and grease with a liberal dosing of onion and cilantro. Some salsa verde to dip them in and I was a happy boy. Â And the horchata was great, but it's hard to screw liquid rice krispies treats up.
All in all, good grub. A little pricey but to avoid eating rat I guess you pay a premium.
a while ago we were wondering if it's "Dos Amigos" or "Two Amigos," then we realized it doesn't matter because we always just call it "The Place with the Good Tacos." I don't know if they're on the menu, but ordering veggie tacos gets you tacos with giant wedges of perfectly ripened avacado with lettuce tomato and cilantro. For 25 cents you can also get them piled high with queso blanco, and you will be happy for life. The chicken tacos are also amazing; it's real chicken on there, y'all! Moist and flavorful and wonderful. The enchiladas are amazing as well.
Oddly, the guacamole tends to be a little lackluster. It tastes clean and fresh, but somehow just not a lot of flavor. Luckily, that's just $6 you can save to spend on a margarita, or MORE TACOS.
Every goddamn time I see the burrito I ordered and think to myself "Oh shit there's no way I'm going to finish all of this! Â This is huge!"
Then twenty minutes later I'm thinking "Goddamnit, how did I eat all of that?!" Â
Great burritos, strong margaritas, always entertaining telenovelas on the TVs and friendly staff.
Side note - my spell check suggested "Televangelism" as a substitute for "Telenovelas." Â Firefox is totally a tool of zombie Ronald Reagan.
The vegetarian burrito, no cheese no creme, has kept me alive at times for at least the past 8 years. Â And the margaritas, as well.
I lived above this place for a while and never ate there when I did (why? Â not sure.) Â but when I moved around the corner, it became my go-to joint for burritos and avocado tortas, the two most insanely good vegetarian Mexican food items there are. Â Now I live closer to El Cid but I still go out of my way to stop at 2 Amigos every now and then.
And everyone that works there is insanely nice.
Dos Amigos has the best Pozole and Menudo in the Logan Square area and I have tried several places. Be warned if you order a large order of their soups they give you a gigantic bowl with all the trimmings. I have tried some of their other food and its pretty much typical mexican fare but the soups is what makes this place stand out. Its good eating on sunday mornings when you are getting over your hangover and getting ready to watch some futbol the rest of the day.
Review Source:I really liked the food, and the portions are huge for what it costs. It's great because it has the feel of a sit-down restaurant, but with the prices of a takeout Mexican joint.
The only thing holding me back from giving this 4 stars is that the salsa they give you to snack on before your entree arrives is waaaaaay too hot. I would like a mild option. We even asked for some cilantro, onions and tomatoes to cut it, and dilute some of the hotness... didn't help.
Offer me a slightly hotter salsa, and I will change my rating to 4 stars!
I have been known to be a bit particular about my food. I have a very bland pallet most of the time and I also am a bit of a red meat snob. If the quality of the meat is bad and they try to cover it up by dumping a bunch of crap on it, I get even more irritated. This place, however, was neither burn-my-mouth spicy nor did it have crap meat.
I was quite tipsy when I partook of their tacos, but I assure you, I wasn't so far gone that I wouldn't have known good meat. I was in taco-love after one bite. I even had some of the beans, and they were delish. The bathrooms were clean, the waitress friendly, and the T.V.'s had on Spanish infomercials...good times. I think I will be partaking of more of this fine establishments food in the future.
This could be the deal of the month!
The fajita dinner isn't dirt cheap (it's never the cheapest choice, on any menu), but it was worth it. Â Homemade flour tortillas, and the rice is fabulous! Â Plus, a good sized side of yummy guac included = BONUS!!! Â We had fajitas -- steak and chicken -- and the quality of meat was good, and cooked well. Â Good meat to onion/pepper ratio. Â Generous portions too...we both had enough for lunch the next day and a small bit for dinner.
It was our first visit, but we were pleasantly surprised and will be back again.
Alexis, you're flat out wrong.
Or you're missing the gem of the menu, the Burrito.
For about $5 you get a burrito the size of your head. Â I'm not talking about a topped-off-with-rice-and-filler ordeal. This is steak country, my friends. Â Walking home hefting that burrito, I often wonder how they can afford to jam pack such a delicious burrito for the price; I know I can't buy that much steak for $5 from the grocery store!
As for the rest of the fare here, I cannot attest as there has never been anything else for me. Â Dos Amigos is my burrito soul mate. Â Especially topped off with some salsa roja made from chile de arbol. Â You've gotta ask for it tho.
I used to be a big fan of this place but after a recent visit, I don't think I will be going back anytime soon.
The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere and very friendly service. Â You get unlimted (sometimes very stale) chips and salsa for the table. Â The salsa is pretty spicy, which is pretty nice.
However, the food itself is where things get a little rough for me. Â It seems that every dish they have has the same main ingredients but just ordered differently.
Example:
A Chicken Burrito has Chicken, Lettuce, Cheese, Tomato, Pico De Gallo & Sour Cream.
A Chicken Taco has Lettcue, Cheese, Chicken, Sour Cream, Tomato & Pico De Gallo.
A Chicken Torta has Pico De Gallo, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Chicken & Sour Cream (only this time it's served on some plain white bun.)
You get the picture.
Further more, it doesn't even taste good. Â If you are going there because it's late and you haven't eaten in a few days and have a shoe string budget, 2 Amigos will get the job done. Â But I wouldn't opt to go there otherwise.
Overall verdict: Â DENIED.
Well another Mexican joint that we've come to in Logan Square. Â The exterior was kind of misleading like the other poster said but inside was kind of nice. Â The service was kind of slow, I think we got there during a shift change and the girl who was our waitress was leaving so she wasn't very prompt with helping us. Â The chips and salsa aren't very good, but it tries really hard to make up for it in the spicy category. Â I got the bistec a la mexicana, not bad but not all that great either. Â I like the atmosphere here and I like the excessively loud Mexican music, but the food isn't going to bring me here instead of going to Taqueria Moran around the corner.
Review Source:I went here once and it frankly wasn't very good. Â Came back a couple more times, and I gotta say that I must have hit an off night because the food has been freakin' excellent since! Â Fast 'n good, extra cilantro, good quality meat (for a mexican joint anyway). Â Wife says the veggie burrito is outtasight, I dunno as I like to eat things that had a mom. Â
Worth a stop if it's after midnight on a weekend. Â Seems pretty carry out oriented, but the interior is quite nice...much more than you'd expect. Â One downside: the guacamole is freakin' terrible, tastes like it came out of the can.
Once I got over my "sketchy-exterior" factor and went in, I was pleasantly surprised. It's actually a neat little place on the inside. I should actually say "neat place that's deceptively big." A lot of tables, but I never saw more than a handful in use... they must do a good carry-out business. That's actually all I used them for.
All in all, I'll give them more points for convenience. They were close to my apartment and open late. Plus, in relation to Moran around the corner, I'll give the burrito edge to Amigos here. I think Moran has the better chips and salsa, though.
But like your many Mexican options in that neighborhood, it's pretty standard. I'd say they're a notch above the average. Good value.
I was alone and wandering, craving a surly mexican meal while spanish  soaps flickered above my head.  I passed a few brightly lit and promising  joints with no english on menus plastered over counters.  Turning a corner I saw the unlit and possibly closed doors of 2 amigos.  I wasn't sure what happened to the third, but I knew that this was it.  As I entered the pleasantly dim establishment, I realized that I was the only person in this place that didn't speak spanish.  Perfect. Â
The food was good. Â The service sucked. Â The soap operas were entertaining.
I lived pretty much above this place for two years so it became a convenient late night taco place for us. Â I like the skirt steak and the tacos, but the guacamole is not so great. Â The chicken soup is delicious and huge, but the service can be very slow. Â Nothing super special, but it was good due to its convenience.
