This review would not be as good but our waitress, Berlyn was awesome. Â She took care of us and had a great sense of humor, especially since I gave her a hard time about everything.
This was a first date and the place next to Dos Gringos doesn't have frozen drinks anymore, I had a frozen margarita and my date did wine. Â We choose some nachos and dip which didn't matter because the date was going great and Berlyn joined us for a few laughs.
The other waitress joined us for a few laughs, but if not for Berlyn...who knows what would have happened.
Give it a try...thanks Berlyn!!!
Disgusting. Food was horrible, British guy is an ass I was eating all over done skin on my wings and my blue moon tasted rancid. Amber was ok nice and brought us our stuff at a timely manner, but we did wait  over 15 mins  to even be seen and on a Monday with very few people . I would only come here if I was wasted and wouldn't remember going! But than again I don't expect much from Dos.
Update:
I attached a screenshot of a not very happy person/fake account  hating on my review. Don't Have one of your PR/Workers write me on yelp to hate. If you wanted a better REP all you had to say was sorry for the experience please come back and see us again. But no you wanted to play Dirrrrtttyyy. OK
Berlin is the best. She was very obviously new to the job, but we told her our names... she remembered them the entire time, and didn't even mind that 4 people came in for just 2 margaritas and a couple of sodas. They are sticklers about their 10pm start time for reverse happy hour, but otherwise... a great place to relax, unwind, and people watch.
Review Source:I never thought I would say  this about this place but I have to be honest. This place was TERRIBLE when we went there to eat.
Yes, I know its a "bar" atmosphere, but I had eaten there before with my family and it had been a good experience in all manners ( both food and service).
But recently an experience that I had was horrible in both manners. First of all , the food was HORRIBLE. The order had 2 different things wrong with it and besides that , the taste was NOT fresh at all. The tacos werent good at all.
Then , the person I was with had ordered a beer , which was on happy hour and when the server ( which was horrible too ) , came back asked if he wanted another beer, he said yes and she didnt bother to tell us that it was going to be regular price which was more than double the price of happy hour cause we missed it by a "few minutes" .. So the happy hour beer was 2.00 and the regular priced same beer ws 4.50.!!!!!!!!!!
When I asked the server about the change she was just irritated with me that i questioned her.
The entire thing was TERRIBLE.. the server was too busy talking to other staff and ignoring our table and they werent that busy in the restaurant, so its not like it was a challenge. Overall I would rate this as horrible and I will NEVER go here again..EVER
This is a place I can always come back to if I'm not in the mood to really do anything much at all. I like it much better when it's not packed like it is over the weekends. this is more of a middle of the week bar for me. It's nice because the venue is open and parts are outside exposed. There is a bartender there that always makes the ideal margarita for me so I cannot complain.
Review Source:I never thought I'd be writing a food review of Dos Gringos. The spot, with four Valley locations, is known more for being a raucous bar in my circles than a dining destination, yet after I ate lunch at the Chandler location recently, I was very impressed with the food the spot offered.
First off, the portions are massive and are a great deal for the price you pay, since entrees were only around $10-$12 apiece.
I splurged on the deep fried bean and cheese chimichanga smothered in jalapeno cream cheese and sour cream. The burrito was absolutely massive and was served with rice and beans. After chowing down on a generous serving of chips and salsa, it really stuffed me.
My friend got cheese enchiladas, and her meal was also huge. It wasn't gourmet Mexican food or anything, but it sure was delicious.
I had never considered Dos Gringos as a spot I'd go out of my way to eat at, but after that experience, I'd recommend it to people looking for some good food during their happy hour-or as a place that has awesome food to soak up some of that alcohol you've been drinking, since the kitchen is open until last call.
I've never been disappointed here and it's always a fun place to hang out. The food(tacos) are awesome. My favorite is the street style chicken tacos. The breakfast burrito is also awesome and BIG. Â $2.50 coronas until 7 are the right price too. When the weather is a tad cooler it's fantastic to sit at the bar and soak up the sun. Â The bar tenders are always on top of the drinks and even give a little entertainment. Granted I have been there primarily before 5-6pm. Â Oh and the giant games they have are hilarious to play with after a few shots ;)
Review Source:Went with a party of 8 on Sunday 03-25-2012. Â ( We had been going to Iguana Mack's actually, but it was closed for renovations, so we went next door to Dos Gringos. )
The place is really nicely decorated and "fun" from a setup point of view. Â Welded Mexican statues, Christmas lights strung around, etc. Â They put an effort into decorations that's for sure.
We sat in an area that was covered patio (sorta) and the wind was blowing and the clouds were blocking the sun. Â The patio experience was really pretty awesome - one of the best I've had in the Valley after moving here in 1995.
They were short-staffed, and a bartender was our waiter. (sigh) Â This can be good or bad, and I guess he did OK considering he was covering about 8 people at the bar too.
Took F.O.R.E.V.E.R. for the food to get to us. Â I mean, like 45 minutes or maybe a tad longer. Â A couple of times, we ran out of soda/water/beer and had to wait a while for him to notice.
When the food FINALLY arrived, there were instant problems. Â The beans had a "hard coating" over the top, an indication that they sat under a heat lamp for a WHILE. Â All the food was at best barely warm, and most of it was virtually cold. Â One order was wrong, so it got taken back and replaced. Â (At least ONE of us got hot food !! )
We ate without complaint at that point because we were starving.
So, with all these problems, "why 4 stars?" you might ask me. Â Read on:
When it came time for the bill, we told the waiter/bartender about the problems and he sent the manager, Jim, over to talk to us. Â We nicely explained the issue, mentioned that we did enjoy most of the flavor of the food, but that most of it was cold and obviously had sat there ready to bring out to us for a very LONG time. Â He said he'd take "some stuff off" then returned with a bill for....
..........
........
......
....
wait for it....
....
......
........
..........
a grand total of $5.50. Â That's "Five Dollars and Fifty Cents." Â He only charged us for the two beers. Â All the food was comped. Â Eight people got free food.
Now THAT, other restaurant managers, is the way to achieve "future customer loyalty" right there. Â We are going to tell EVERYONE about the good treatment we received and the correct way the manger handled it. Â We would have been happy with him taking 2 or three of the dishes off there, but to give us ALL the food for free? Â Excellent public relations move.
We will be back to eat there again. Â Multiple times. Â Hopefully on days when they are fully staffed !!!
I'm not gonna lie, I've only been here Twice & once is all I need to fall in love with a place. The first time I went with my bf to eat. The food wasn't half bad, way better than filabertos!! The second time I went here It wasn't for food...haha it was for drinks. I don't really remember how much they cost or if the bartenders were nice but I had a great time! The best part is, they didn't kick me out! (:
Review Source:Review for happy hour....I was surprised I liked this place as much as I did. Â Maybe it was the margaritas talking as they were tasty and I think only $3. Â
We were in a group of 12 people and of course all of us wanted separate checks. Â I always feel awkward when asking for a separate check but when asked, our server did not blink and was really nice the entire 3 hours that we were there. I think the request is common as it is a place that seems to cater to large parties. Â
The place is loud, filled with tacky decorations, tables and chairs that wobble, but I would recommend if you are in the mood to meet a group of friends for  drinks and socializing.
I was really having a difficult time figuring out what i wanted to rate this place. I really don't care for the food or service overall but we know one guy in genera(who i think is a manager) and has been with this dos gringos location for a couple years since I have moved out to AZ in 2009. Â For some reason the nachos lose more and more star points with me since the first night i ever tried them in 2009. Â I never love the service from everybody only the one guy(as i am still trying to remember his name) If we ever have a problem with the drinks we always have him take it back and fix it. But that kind of shows you that other people are not doing it right the first time. Â We always order the nachos from this place and i cannot tell you how much i hate nacho cheese. I just love to death a place that has regular melted cheese and meats/beans/sour cream/guacamole. Not a mix between regular and nacho cheese. Â but i will def eat it if i've been drinking. I love food and savor every flavor (if its amazing) so i can never give a fair review if i had been drinking i would have to go back a time where i am completely sober and coherent. Â 1 thing i have noticed about the chicken on the nachos is that they are usually pretty dry. i kind of wish they would grill the chicken and place it on the nachos after they take the nachos out of the oven. Â
Just an A-OK from me even though we are here a couple times every other month or so.
I go to Dos Gringos for every UFC fight. I went last night for the UFC fight and that may be my last at Dos Gringos. The food was awful. There was 6 of us and not one of us enjoyed our food. The service was almost non existent. They are now asking for a cover charge which is good if it was comparable to other places that require cover charges. They really need to step it up for fight nights!!
Review Source:I went here for the first time last Friday and had a lot of fun. The bartender that helped me, though he was a Jets fan, was super friendly and remembered  my order everytime I went back to get more drinks. The drinks were pretty cheap. I also ordered some tacos that were really good. They have a ton of televisions and a small dance floor, as well as a couple pool tables, a beer pong table, and a cornhole set. It was busy but I was able to move around and enjoy myself. I'd definitely come back here to grab a drink and play some pool or hang out.
Review Source:I'm an Iguana Mack's kinda girl but we often go for "one more next door" or for food. Dos is a fun bar. I think it's even more fun on a night that's kind of slow. Bartenders are all fun and attentive which is really important to me. The stuff that's painted on the walls is pretty funny, especially in the bathroom. Great specials. I love that they have $1 shots when it rains!
Review Source:So I came here twice, once for happy hour and once at night.
I would not come here just for the food, even though I hear their food is pretty good and the menu is huge.. Visually, the atmosphere doesn't strike me as a place id like a nice "hot plate" from, but rather just drinks and maybe some tacos to go.
For Happy hour its cool, and I would recommend. They have cool bartenders and a cool crowd..
Id pass on the Night life here. The crowd isn't very attractive, not just on looks but over all. Bad night idk?
Bam! Â This place really pops. Â Either that or no other place was opened that night. Â Definitely, not my cup of tea any more. Â Everyone here was so young and I felt so old haha. Â Granted, I think if you just wanted a few drinks with the guys, this is a great spot. Â Drinks are cheap and the music is bumping. Â The music isn't bad; then again I was really listening. Â I was busy playing the games in the back room. Â Pool tables, extra large jenga, connect 4, and bean bag throwing (which I sucked) come and bring your A game! Â I wouldn't say this would be a great pickup bar as some signs suggest, but if you're a gal pal then by all means. - enjoy!
Review Source:I went here for Thanksgiving eve and wow, what a mess it was. If you're a guy, don't even bother looking for women because the girl to guy ratio is 1:3. And a lot of those women were neither on the attractive or underweight side. The clientele ranged from 20-something white trash, aspiring tattoo artists to Latino gangbanger types. Yeah, it gets worse.
The house DJ they had in sucked big time. I walk in and right on cue, he played Cupid Shuffle - the worst thing to hit the music scene since Yin Yang Twins. Then he played "Teach Me How To Dougie" (arrggh) and followed it by the worst Oasis - Wonderwall meets hip hop mashup I've ever heard. Where the hell did they find this no-talent hack, Hurricane Bay?
This place might be alright on a weeknight or less-busy weekend. But as a club, it fails considerably. The bouncers were doing nothing all night, and I saw too many people making drunk fools out of themselves as they continued to drop glass containers on the floor or lose balance and fall over. Hopefully, they'll be a big lawsuit and spare everyone the trashy disaster known as Dos Gringos.
This place is near my boyfriend's house, so we found ourselves ending our days there on the patio. We were there during the week so it was never crazy packed, but there was a good crowd of people. They have good drink specials, and the burrito I had there was pretty bomb. I'll definitely be back, plus this one looks a lot classier than the one in Tempe.
Review Source:Dos has become the regular hangout for our group on Monday nights, for a few simple reasons:
1. $2 beers after 10pm
2. $4 meals/apps after 10pm
3. Atmosphere and service.
Dos Gringos is not the type of bar one would frequent because it's high class or offers a bevy of unique mixed drinks or beers on tap. Â At its heart, it is a dive bar that excels at being kitschy and serving super cold bottled brews. Â Its location takes advantage of Arizona's stellar weather, as it is an outdoor bar. Â We've never gone during the day, but even during the warm summer evenings, the fans do their job at keeping everyone cool. Â
The servers here are always friendly, checking in frequently and serving up food and drinks quickly. Â Our group tends to trickle in, and I'm always impressed at how easily the servers manage to keep everyone's tab separate without us requesting it, or needing to dissect what each person at the table ordered.
The reason for the three star rating lies primarily in selection. Â For those looking for tequila or Mexican beers, Dos Gringos provides a great selection. Â For those looking for something else, it may be a bit harder to select something from their drink menu. Â This isn't inherently a bad thing; if I wanted a particular type of beer, I'd go to a different bar. Â The music leaves a lot to be desired, though it is the standard bar mix of current popular songs (though they earn a point for not having played "Party in the USA" like every other bar I've been to over the last 2 months).
For Monday nights, Dos Gringos is the perfect scene for an ice cold Fat Tire and some nachos.
I wondered when they opened this place how it would do right next to Iguana Macks, or if Iguana's would suffer. Â Both seem to do just fine. Â We came here on a Friday night after pre-gamming at a friends house. Â Even with full bar, the service was fast and friendly. Â The whole crowd seemed to be pretty friendly and relaxed, which was great because a few of my friends were a little drunk!
The Jukebox seems to have a master control - they will turn off music they don't like and skip to a new song, so unless you are spending your money on mainstream hits, don't bother. Â Not sure how much money my brother spent before he gave up.
My favorite feature of all Dos Gringos is the painted footsteps you follow to the bathroom. Â Amazing how helpful that is after a few (many) beers.
Came here recently on a Sunday for the infamous $3.99 Bloody Marys and $7.99 Buffet Brunch. Heard it was the place to be on a Sunday. I have to agree that others find this the hot spot but I truly doubt it's for the buffet. I think the buffet was poorly done. No variety and certainly not filling. You would have to order off the full menu to get rid of your hunger pains. Or eat at home and spend your money on the Bloody Marys.
I love a good Bloody Mary bar, who doesn't?! They have every conceivable ingredient you could add to your drink. In fact, the bar had more appetizing garnishes than the buffet table. My only complaint is that they give you very little vodka and fill the glass with too much ice you can't throw a lot of ingredients into the cup.
The TVs are great for the sports fans and the patio is perfect when it's not 90 degrees.
Our waiter was pretty accommodating considering our group kept growing by the hour. He was great about charging the correct items to the correct tabs. Kudos for that!
Check it out when you get a chance. And order off the full menu.
Dos Gringos was a pretty cool place to grab a beer with and chill with some friends. It wasn't packed or anything but there was still a lot of people inside - which was okay because the place was big enough to where you weren't bumping against people while trying to get around.
Lots of TV's inside and plenty of tables and places to sit. I liked that the music was loud, but not blasting so you were able to carry on a conversation on the outside patio if you wanted. I didn't get to eat here, so this review is based solely on the establishment and atmosphere!
Home of the $2 Dos....Equis that is... Since this is the closest to my house (and I've been to the others) I like coming here when I feel like an after work beer and an afternoon breeze. the bartenders here are always good to me (which unfortunately, is more than I can say for the Scottsdale crew, just seems to much of a clique up there).
Love the food, love the crowd here as well.I'll miss you when I move Chandler DOS
= = = = = = Â THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET Â = = = = = =
Ah, it's a rainy Sunday morning. Â What better time to go out for some buffet, especially Mexican Buffet? Â :-)) Â Dos Gringos has one, so let's whip over there!
First of all, Dos here is a very screwy place, outrageously junked up with all kinds of signs, pictures, jokes painted on the walls, & so on. Â No other customers were around right at opening time of 11 AM, but by 11:05 the place was almost full to capacity with more loud, earthy people than a Hell's Angels wedding reception! Â I've never seen a trailer park full of tweakers empty out into a restaurant so fast!
Now there were 15 main food selections for everyone to reach in front of each other to get, including Huevos Rancheros, cheese enchiladas, Chile Verde, chorizo, Santa Fe Chicken, sausage, bacon, beans & rice (of course), & much more, plus a good number of toppings available, but no salad or soup. Â Everything was good, & my server was nice.
Sunday only, 11 AM to 3 PM, $7.99.
Oh, Dos...you are both what I love and hate about visiting PHX.
You remind me of where I'm from and how I grew up. Â You remind me of why I left and that I needed to grow up.
You remind me of an Arizonan's version of Mexico is like...which is not the real Mexico.
You remind me of high school and college...mainly because I'll still run into peeps from high school and college at Dos...sigh.
This particular location is essentially like all the rest...gigantic bar, semi-outside, lots of booze, lots of beer, and lots of just relaxed people getting their drink on. Â Nothing terrible but also nothing really great either...I'd still come back...but I'm glad I left.
Oh Dos Gringos, how doth one review ye?
What is Dos Gringos? Honestly I never thought about it until I started this review. I would say first and foremost this is a place to drink, although they don't have any draught beers on tap. But they do have a decent selection of bottled beers. They do have one tap behind the bar but it only spits out margarita mix. And of course, they'll mix you a drink, too.
The layout of the place is a little different but it works well. As soon as you enter there is a center bar, a la Cheers. There are couple of SD TV's over the bartenders. The bar is surrounded by various tables. This area is sort of outside, so one can smoke if they like. The area just behind the bar holds more tables, HD TV's, a corn hole court, and of course the mandatory Golden Tee and Buck Hunter. Beyond this area is an inside dining area (no smoking allowed!) and another bar.
Don't let this place fool you. The food is really good. Come in during the day and you'll see families who bring in friends from out of town. I often see large parties there around dinner time. I haven't had everything on the menu but I've never been disappointed. You can't go wrong with anything chicken; it is well marinated! And I've heard that they have a Sunday all-you-can-eat brunch.
Now for the real review. This place gets packed Thursday night through Sunday night. But the atmosphere is always chill. The makeup is not as diverse as Iguana Macks next door, but there is very little attitude in the place. I always meet someone every time I go. The party is hopping right up until closing time.
All of the Dos Gringos have their own atmosphere and their own crowd that they attract. The Greenfield one is more family oriented and an older crowd. The Kyrene is just really sad and pathetic. Tempe is very much a college bar. And Scottsdale is, well, it's Scottsdale. The Chandler site really can't be pigeon holed. It's 20 and 30 somethings out for a drink in a cool atmosphere. And the best part of Dos Gringos Chandler? It's right next to Iguana Macks!
Man, if these guys were trying to replicate a gringo bar in Mexico down to every last detail, then they have it absolutely nailed. Sorry to ruin the mystery of the name. The building itself is a spectacle-- a brightly colored fusion of indoors and outdoors with a few different bars, games like the beanbag toss and televised sporting events in every direction, music blaring, a room dedicated to Elvis, and more Chuck Norris jokes than you can count plastered across the walls along with a bevy of posters advertising drink specials. A line of blue footprints painted across the concrete floor leads to the men's room, dollar signs to the ATM... genius stuff, really. It wouldn't have been at all out of place were they to have tried selling surfing monkey statues or trotting out a donkey painted like a zebra for an extra special photo opportunity.
Rumor had it that Dos Gringos had a killer Sunday brunch buffet and Bloody Mary bar, so we showed up at 10:30 AM to find... that they hadn't opened yet. A place that offers brunch but has the balls to wait until after 11 is okay in my book. Ten bucks gets you all-you-can-eat eggs, bacon, chile verde, beans, and a bunch of other stuff to tickle your fancy. There's nothing like sitting out in the sun, feeding a hangover and resuscitating last night's buzz before the clock strikes noon, and it sure beats sitting in traffic when that monstrosity of a church up the street unleashes some Old Testament fury on Alma School Road. Dos Gringos probably gets spring break wild on Friday night, but on Sunday morning, this place was just as tranquil as the doctor ordered.
