Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Food is alright - nothing special and certainly not authentic Mexican flavors. But the staff is nice, the specials are good, and it's a fun hangout on a Thursday or Friday night. The life size Jenga is always fun!

Appeared to be a fun Rocky Point-style place that served food. No one in the open-air perimeter had anything on plates on their tables! (?) Drinks were available with a trip to the bar--the "margaritas" are served in plastic containers for a history of misguided yoots catapulting the glass ones too much and the bottle of Dos Equis was luke-w. If you enjoy a pounding heavy bass "inner-city" music, massive heavies mingling with the crowd (though friendly) and the Chandler PD standing by waiting, waiting...around 10 pm, then this is where you need to be. The crowd seemed polite enough--have no idea why this is the gathering place it must be. Not for us--maybe the atmosphere is different during the week. .

Good times Dos. I can always rely on Dos to be open and serving food until 2 am. Even in the rain. Nothing is better than a bucket of beers and a 6 pack of street tacos. The food is always good at anytime but the service might be a little slow. Finding a table that isn't sticky is a trick but I can bring my friends and our dogs so it's definitely worth it. You just have to belly up to the bar for the best service. Come to Dos to eat and drink and watch the UFC sometime. It's worth checking out.
(4)Summer R.
The place for popped collars, pink shirts and bad attitudes. Not sure why all of them populate here but they sure do feel entitled to their space and existence. Good luck.
(1)Melissa S.
Can you get the cook to wear a hairnet???? A blonde hair in out nacho dip as well as a breakfast burrito is disgusting!! Btw we have brown and red hair so clearly didn't belong to us!!

Advertised $20 cover for the Mayweather fight on Saturday. We got there before the fight and security said it would be $40. We asked why since it was advertised for $20 and the bouncer said "because we can." We paid and went in. The place was pretty busy because of the fight and they had 2 people working at the bar so the service was slow. They didn't even have the sound on for the fight so it made for a strange atmosphere. Overall, it is just a dirty bar & restaurant that worked in college at the location by ASU. There are certainly better places to go.
(1)Jeff M.
I love drinking here, but the food is mediocre. Prices are good though. Need to clean the tables better too.
(3)Michael P.
The staff is unbelievably awesome, which is the only reason I go back. The drinks are overpriced and served in plastic cups. I hope you like classic rock because that's all you'll hear during happy because they block the jukebox.
(3)Dustin G.
This place has to be the worst establishment in the whole world. I mean not only are the waitresses rude and trashy the security does a horrible job as well. They accused my good friend of being drunk when he had not even had a sip of alcohol. He was actually the whole groups DD. The security was very rude to him during this too. My friend was very embarressed because he had not even been drinking and was now the reason that the whole group had to leave. It was an awful experience. Me and my friends will never be back to this place. I'm surely going to recommend that everyone I know not eat here or drink here. The most unprofessional professionals there are.
(1)C N.
Great bartenders (Joey) and excellent $5 breakfast burrito (get it w a side of habanero). Has chorizo! Love the $3 build your own Bloody Mary bar! Several kinds of olives, plus jalapeños, onions, carrots, celery, zucchini, hot sauces, celery salt, etc. Huge, Dog friendly patio with air conditioners and heaters at each table/bar seat.
(5)Bruce K.
I like the atmosphere here and the drink specials are pretty good, but if you're hungry definitely go somewhere else. I have never been impressed with the food. It's very mediocre at best.
(3)J H.
Received a very professional message from someone at Dos Gringos. Very much appreciated, we ended up going back for a beer and had a much better experience. End the end, not a place for us.
(3)Juan C.
Worst experience ever!! We found bugs in our drinks and chips and a FINGER NAIL in one plate. The GM insinuated we put the finger nail on the plate. Will never come back again!!! This app doesn't allow no stars so have to give one
(1)Georgina C.
Awful! Customer service was terrible! The General Mgr with the red hair and beard was a douche! Our daughters friend had a finger nail in her food. My husband had a bug in his tea. And our son had a mosquito in his chips! The manager all but accused us of putting the nail in the food. Horrible! Never ever will we return!
(1)Kyle H.
Perfect place in Chandler to go and get plastered. Food is actually pretty good. If you're looking to party, definitely plan on sticking to Friday or Saturday unless you know for sure that there is an event going on.
(4)Ryan C.
Only reason i gave 5 stars is because the staff and bartenders are the best the food tho horrible but ill tell u what if u wanna go somewhere and have a great Friday or saturday night this is the place
(5)Jessica S.
REALLY disappointed. Server got our orders wrong, took a while to get to the table and it was cold. I almost cried lol I was starving. :(
(3)Markanthony F.
Terrible customer service from the moment you walk in. Want a quick drink? Walk over to Circle K next door and get yourself a case and drink at home.
(1)Gretchen H.
Slow but fun....just don't expect to eat or drink fast .....
(3)Karrie K.
I had a fun time last night with my girlfriends here! The drink prices are okay, and the dance floor is always fun! The DJ likes to play a lot of techno, but later on in the night he was playing some good, older hip hop music! I had a good time and the bouncers are pretty nice too. Overall, a good place to dance and have an awesome Friday or Saturday night.
(3)Rob E.
This place is very comfy, laid back vibe, serving only bottled beer and a full bar. The food is not bad. It's not very authentic, but your typical Mexican food. This place is really busy at night and it's a big hang out spot. I don't go here much, but never remember ever being disappointed in service or food.
(4)Nicki E.
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.
(4)Marisa S.
Food and service was great!! Definitely recommend getting the mini chimies and rice...Mmmm delicious!!!
(4)Matthew M.
DO NOT GO HERE, they will charge your credit card more than what you approve and then try it cover it up. Even the general manager is in on it trying to fraudulently charge people, the service is terrible. It's definitely not worth it.
(1)Jay T.
Don't go to eat only! it's not a great restaurant, food is ok, server was cold and dismissive , tables and chairs are beat up and uncomfortable, salsa is out of a can. But it is a great place to go chill and drink with friends. I had a margarita and it was good. I would come back with friends to pre game or have a night out but not for a family dinner or anything like that.
(2)Jim S.
I went there for first time the service was awesome only issue was menu was kind of weak I would if expected more drinks and food but great service
(4)K. M.
Last Wednesday we decided to go for a cocktail after work. They weren't very busy, maybe 20 people total. We sat at a table right next to the bar and waited about five minutes without being acknowledged. We ended up going up to the bar to order drinks and we each got an appetizer, mini chimis. We sat back down and about ten minutes later, someone brought out our appetizers, set them down on the bar, and walked away. We sat there for about five minutes waiting for the bartender or a waitress to bring them to our table. Again, had to get up to go get them ourselves. My husband ate the mini chimis but not the shredded lettuce and tomato garnish that came with it. I ate the chimis and the garnish. Excruciating stomach cramps are what woke me up on Thursday morning. I was sick until Saturday. My guess is that the shredded lettuce hadn't been washed properly and sat there, probably in a little puddle of water in the bottom of a container, stewing in bacteria, before they put it on the plate. My bad for eating the garnish, I probably should have known better, but regardless, I'll never eat there again. The place's cleanliness already looks a little questionable, but this sealed the deal.
(1)Karthik V.
The wings are awesome!! They have great deal on beer buckets as well! Pool tables? You got it! Great place for happy hour with a bunch of friends..
(4)John L.
Terrible sanitary condition. Daughters burrito had a bit off nail in it and the General Manager had the nerve to say an I quote "I'm not entirely sure the nail is ours". Unbelievable. I will never go to a Dos Gringos again. I will encourage others to do the same!
(1)Leon J.
Love Kristine, Megan, and Nick! They know our "usual" and always make time to come by and say hi. Not just say hi, though. They ask how our week was, what's new...they take a general interest in us which is refreshing to experience from the normal bar atmosphere. It's dog friendly so be sure to bring your four-legged friend!
(4)Nat Q.
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
(1)Aubree L.
We always enjoy ourselves here but it's never because of the service or the food/drinks. Great atmosphere but that's about it.
(3)Jessie L.
Sat at the bar but didn't get service. So we left!!!

Went with a party of 8 on Sunday 03-25-2012. ( 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. Welded Mexican statues, Christmas lights strung around, etc. 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. 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) 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. I mean, like 45 minutes or maybe a tad longer. 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. The beans had a "hard coating" over the top, an indication that they sat under a heat lamp for a WHILE. All the food was at best barely warm, and most of it was virtually cold. One order was wrong, so it got taken back and replaced. (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. 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. 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. He said he'd take "some stuff off" then returned with a bill for.... .......... ........ ...... .... wait for it.... .... ...... ........ .......... a grand total of $5.50. That's "Five Dollars and Fifty Cents." He only charged us for the two beers. All the food was comped. Eight people got free food. Now THAT, other restaurant managers, is the way to achieve "future customer loyalty" right there. We are going to tell EVERYONE about the good treatment we received and the correct way the manger handled it. 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? Excellent public relations move. We will be back to eat there again. Multiple times. Hopefully on days when they are fully staffed !!!

I have really enjoyed Dos Chandler for a few years now, I used to just drink their Negra Modelo and Dos X, but recently started eating the super ewey gooey chimi, which I would recommend to anyone. Their quesadillas are awesome, they don't get much better than that. (And I work in a New Mexican style kitchen). I feel they should offer more Mexican beers on tap, and definitely need more tequila options. The frozen margaritas aren't anything to brag about, however. The tables are usually sticky now whenever I sit down..and I haven't had a consistent server or bartender in a long time, there is always someone new, but they do a decent job taking care of me, but I can tell they don't have much support management-wise on the floor. I give three stars due to dirty tables, poor beer selection on tap, and the usual generic tequila selection. Being a Mexican restaurant they need to step up their game and clean the place up.
(3)Michelle I.
really good shrimp tacos, house margarita could use some work.
(3)Rand H.
= = = = = = SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET! = = = = = = Ah, it's a rainy Sunday morning. What better time to go out for some buffet, especially Mexican Buffet? :-)) Dos Gringos has one, so let's whip over there! First of all, Dos here is a very screwy place, outrag
(3)Josh D.
Atmosphere and service was good. The inside of the place is pretty cool and I enjoyed the large connect four game, and my daughter enjoyed the corn hole. The female service was good, and this one girl inperticular was good. She wasn't our server, but brought us chips and just had a good personality. I wish I knew her name for a shoutout. Moving on, food was bad. We did not like this food and we will definitely not return If we are looking for some bomb mexican food. I wouldn't mind having a drink here, but in terms of a "grill", not good stuff. Bar, A+ enviroment, restaurant, F
(3)Masha Z.
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.
(4)Chris H.
Went on a Friday night and it was great. Waitress was very attentive even though we had a large group that was at 4 different tables. Tried 5 of the appetizers and loved them all. The margaritas were a little watery but it was happy hour so they were cheap.
(4)Joey D.
I've been to all of the Dos Gringos locations in AZ, and all of them have the same problem: AWFUL service and garbage food. Otherwise, it's your typical obnoxious 20 somethings kinda bar that serves its purpose, to get drunks to hang out and order cheap bar food. God knows why or how this chain has lasted so long, it's really nothing that special and there are way better cantinas and mexican style dives to go to. You can't expect too much from a little cantina that caters to 25 year old drunks, but you should expect a tiny bit of quality in service or at least edible food. The food is typical generic bar food that happens to have a few tomatoes and cheese passed off as mexican. The tacos are small and falling apart and are the same thing you'd find at a del taco, for 3 bucks more. The chicken wings are disgusting...DISGUSTING. Take a good wing, throw it on the street, let it get run over and dusty in the hot sun, then re-fry it and let it turn rock hard, and that's what dos gringos has for wings, I kid you not. The absolute grossest and inedible bar food ever. If you come to this place you better only order hard alcohol, because the beer is gross and flat, I don't know how a bar can manage to screw up beer, but they sure did here. I never felt more cheated out of cash then when I spent it here on this stuff, I never ask for a refund, but if I did this would be the first time. I used to get dragged here a lot years ago by drunk buddies, and honestly nothing has improved or changed since. When you arrive it will take at least 30 minutes to get a proper order going, the service is slow and ignorant of people. If you show up on a busy weekend night, you will wait forever, but the sad thing is if you show up on a slow night on a weeknight, you will still wait forever. The servers are all over the place, they don't seem to have sections or areas they just wander all over and pick people to wait on in no organized fashion. The last time I went here with people I had a server or bar-back whatever he was take a drink order and an ice water, after waiting 15 minutes, (and the bar was only like 50 feet away) he brings me my beer and a flat water in a tiny plastic cup and gives the party of young girls next to us tall plastic glasses with tons of ice and smiles. I guess he figured I wasn't a single 21 year old girl so I didn't matter. After that he vanished and 10 minutes later I got a girl server who was okay and made things fast enough. No complaints with her, she did her job, I just wish she showed up first and not the dude who already left a bad impression. He was some arrogant british dude with the puffed out chest attitude, he flirted with all the tables full of girls but could not give a c-r-a-p about anyone else, especially us guys. I hate arrogant servers, bars or not, get your head out of your butt and grow up, cause guess what pal? good service=tips, bad service=no tips. Any good server knows that if you want to do well, you show a good attitude and be nice, don't treat people like they are lowly little peasants there to stare at the miracle that is you. FAIL. If that's your kind of attitude go work for abercrombie and fitch in a mall in scottsdale seriously. What can you say? It's a dive bar for the young drunk people of chandler and scottsdale to hang out in, that's really all there is to it. It's a place your drunk buddies drag you to. If getting wasted on tequila or corona is your thing, then this place works, otherwise it's a hot, crumby little dive with nothing else around it and you'd be smart to go elsewhere like mill ave or downtown phoenix. I'm a fair reviewer too, I don't give low grades for nothing...the service was slow, I sat around texting and waiting too long, I waited a total of 25 minutes to get 1 beer and an ice water, it took 2 servers to make that happen for my group, the food was absolutely stale, and that's it. I'm really surprised to see the 4 and 5 star reviews, these people must have written them while drunk, its the only way DG can get a 5 star. I will never be dragged here or come here again, the last time was the last straw of many past straws. Yuck dude.
(1)Dan P.
Review for happy hour....I was surprised I liked this place as much as I did. Maybe it was the margaritas talking as they were tasty and I think only $3. We were in a group of 12 people and of course all of us wanted separate checks. 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. 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.
(3)Olivier N.
Decent food with a really fun atmosphere
(3)Alie C.
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.
(4)Christina N.
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.
(3)David D.
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.
(2)Glen A.
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?
(3)Crystal Claire H.
Love the music on Thurs and Sat :) Good deals on drinks! Quality time!
(4)Red C.
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. $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. 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. Oh and the giant games they have are hilarious to play with after a few shots ;)
(5)Mary S.
Street Tacos are good, Happy Hour Corona's for $2.50, great for Happy Hour or a laid back evening. Nothing like the Dos in Scottsdale, but if you're feeling in the mood for steak nachos and a beer with no fuss, this is a good spot.
(3)Dan L.
This Dos location is OK. I mean I never have a bad time when I come here, but I never have an exceptional time. Make the commute for the Scottsdale location. That Dos is money!!
(3)Bao H.
Bam! This place really pops. Either that or no other place was opened that night. Definitely, not my cup of tea any more. Everyone here was so young and I felt so old haha. Granted, I think if you just wanted a few drinks with the guys, this is a great spot. Drinks are cheap and the music is bumping. The music isn't bad; then again I was really listening. I was busy playing the games in the back room. Pool tables, extra large jenga, connect 4, and bean bag throwing (which I sucked) come and bring your A game! 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!
(3)Stacey A.
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!
(4)Vic C.
Outstanding service and food , drinks are not bad. Service can't be beat.
(4)Candace R.
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.
(4)Eddie N.
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
(4)Thomas I.
These gringos sure know how to make Mexican food
(4)Chris D.
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. 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. Nothing terrible but also nothing really great either...I'd still come back...but I'm glad I left.
(2)O S.
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!

I wondered when they opened this place how it would do right next to Iguana Macks, or if Iguana's would suffer. Both seem to do just fine. We came here on a Friday night after pre-gamming at a friends house. Even with full bar, the service was fast and friendly. 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. 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. Amazing how helpful that is after a few (many) beers.

I, and I'm sure many others in the Phoenix suburbs, would gladly pay a little extra for some standards. Is pretentious overcompensating downtown Scottsdale the only place to find AZ night life that doesn't celebrate sub-par lifestyles? Dos Gringos is certainly a dive. I might rate them a 2star (as at least it's not a fight friendly 'unsafe' dive), but the background music is so ridiculously loud you can't hear the others at your own table over the off key guitar soloist with his amplifier maxed out.

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. At its heart, it is a dive bar that excels at being kitschy and serving super cold bottled brews. Its location takes advantage of Arizona's stellar weather, as it is an outdoor bar. We've never gone during the day, but even during the warm summer evenings, the fans do their job at keeping everyone cool. The servers here are always friendly, checking in frequently and serving up food and drinks quickly. 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. For those looking for tequila or Mexican beers, Dos Gringos provides a great selection. For those looking for something else, it may be a bit harder to select something from their drink menu. This isn't inherently a bad thing; if I wanted a particular type of beer, I'd go to a different bar. 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.

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.

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!

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. For some reason the nachos lose more and more star points with me since the first night i ever tried them in 2009. 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. 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. 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. 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. Just an A-OK from me even though we are here a couple times every other month or so.

Food is only good after you have been drinking but good luck catching a buz when they charge four fifty per corona apparently that is considered imported premium. Only good thing about this place is they leave the kitchen open until two A.M..

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!!

Average food cheap beer. They are pretty standard but it is a good place if you want to get a cheap buzz. Used to go here a lot when I lived in chandler for the food.

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.

Okay, first time I went there it was with the office crew to help celebrate and co-workers birthday. I liked the place, went back that night for a live show, beers were cold and the food was good. A bit like being in Mexico. Place is a bit outdoors and a bit unkempt at times but when you want a taco and a brew this is the place. I don't want to sound like I don't like the place at all because I enjoy the live bands they have come through the place from time to time. Happy hour was okay but the happy hour margarita comes out of the soda dispenser, that was a big turn off for me and the lady. It's really funny because I'm meeting two friends for lunch there today. LOL.. like I said a place to enjoy a quick taco and a few brews, plus you will enjoy all the handmade wooden games they have around, pool tables and signs galore around the place that will keep a smile on your face... kids allowed! Prices are fairly reasonable for Mex type dishes

There are very few times when I like to just go out and get drunk and this place does the job. $6 cab ride and a $40 tab will help me get to where I need to be. I don't believe I ever went here during a week day so can't comment but the weekends can be interesting. I always get a laugh at the people who are stumbling out of here at 2am. Either that or I'm stumbling and they're walking straight but I believe its them stumbling. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed in the service.

My experience with this place started out as a good one, fun atmosphere, not too crowded, plenty of activities even if you are the DD. Now as a Mexican restaurant/bar you would think they would have good tequila and know how to serve it. I ordered a Patron on the rocks with a salted rim. What I got was warm Patron with 2 tiny ice cubes which melted on delivery and barely enough salt to see that it was even there. I didn't get too upset at my "drink" and just switched to beer for the rest of the night. At the end of the night when I got my tab I saw that they had charged me for the 2 tiny ice cubes that they put in my warm tequila. To charge me for ice cubes when a glass of water is free is ridiculous. I will never go here again.

the only saving grace about this place is that after 10, they have their rocky pointe nachos for $4. those are super yummy BUT the place is a meat market and they have little to no wait staff. i'm sure i'll go again, but only if there's no other real options. you can smoke inside and that also is a plus..

My husband and I called before to verify their kids eat free every day offer and the person on the phone said they still offer this. When we got the bill we had to have the waitress reprint the bill less our two kids free meals. She said thy no longer are doing this or advertising this but still offer it to people who have known about it during previous trips there. We won't be going back though, not because of the kids eat free confusion but because the fish tacos I had were over battered and greasy. The oil was not hot enough when the fish was fried so the batter was heavy with oil and tasted old. The corn tortillas were thin and didn't fry up soft like "street style" are supposed to be. Just heated up warm and fresh would have been much better. My husband was not impressed with his steak tacos. No fresh limes came with them either. I guess we could have asked for them but we didn't bother. As for the "Good For Kids: Yes" rating I would have to say not really. This place seemed more like a "pub" than a "grill." - reminded me of somewhere I got two for one Coronas and a free shot of tequila in Tijuana when I was in my twenties!!!

I chose to come here, after not really deciding on where to go on a late Friday night. Its one of those places like Filibertos, or Amado's thats usually open late at night, and you can expect it to not disappoint! Well sure enough, it was one of those places. I was pleased with the service provided. They didn't have a HUGE bar selection...but their queso dip was awesome! The DJ that night (Friday) didn't have the best choices either (sorry dude). It wasn't packed either, but that's a plus in my book. Will probably go back here a few times.

If you want to get wasted and dance to some rap then dos is your place (at least in Chandler). Otherwise keep on walking. I'm a craft beer/wine bar kind of person. For me it's: -too loud -filled with smoke -a minimal tap list -mediocre service
(1)Annemarie B.
So disappointing. My friends and I have been going here for a long time (as one of them lives within walking distance). On a Saturday night we walked over thirsty and excited for the weekend. God's honest truth, not one us the six of us had a sip of alcohol prior to our arrival yet we were greeted with, "I'm sorry one of you appears to be swaying and I can't let you in." When we spoke to the manager, he didn't offer ANY SOLUTION what-so-ever! Big mistake. We won't be returning. PS. Check out the Social Box much nicer atmosphere for a classy Saturday night. Drinks are excellent!
(1)Nicole B.
Great place to go for cheap margaritas and some fun! They have games throughout the indoor portion of the restaurant to keep you and your friend occupied. We spent a couple of hours here playing jenga. If you sit outdoors at the bar - BEWARE of the bees!!!! They are everywhere. The bartenders didn't seem to be phased by this, at all.
(3)Morgan S.
I had the best bartender tonight! Her name was Christina and I just wanted to give a shoutout. She was in a great mood and took my drink orders timely. I had a great time because of her!
(5)Schelli R.
This is my favorite place. The biggest reason I go here is because I love the staff! Happy hour prices are very good and the food is good. It is just a fun place to hang and laugh and share a few drinks. Now to get you guys to let me produce a video for you!! LOL
(5)Melanie F.
We've gone to Dos a dozen or so times over the last couple of years and the place just keeps getting worse. Service is incredibly slow with us waiting with empty drinks for long periods of time as we try to find our waitress. The last two times we were there (both on a Tuesday evening), we ended up leaving after 20 minutes because the 5 servers that passed our table never stopped to take orders, or even make eye contact. The only time we've been able to be served in a timely manner is if we're sitting at the bar.

Here is the thing. I really wanted to like this place and I love the location in Scottsdale, but this just really was not to great the night I went. We came during happy hour on a Thursday and ended up staying quit a while. The stay was friendly and attentive, no issues there. It is just little things I could not get past. For instance the patio, had a lot of bugs including bees and just was not clean. I don't mean not clean by fine dining standards. I am strictly talking your basic party/sports bar cleanliness. Just very dusty with random junk sitting around. The other thing was the lack of draft selection. Nowadays everyone has a good tap selection. The only beer I recall outside of your basic American lagers was Blue moon served in a plastic "glass". I can't get too mad about that though because the place does seem like a party bar and I could see the reasoning. The misters were dripping pretty bad as well, so you had to watch out for those. The last thing I did not understand was why have a jukebox and not let patrons use it. I was with a decent sized party the night I was there and while the classic rock soundtrack they played did not bother me, I am sure the group would have had a bit more fun if we could have played music. Had a little bit of food and it was solid no complaints there. The place has potential and I would love to see it on a packed night because many of the flaws I saw you could probably overlook, but for my visit I'll have to stick to 3 stars and that is being kind because I am a smoker.
