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.

my boyfriend and I were hungry yesterday and I decided a Michelada was a must. So we turned to yelp and it lead us to Logan Square where we sat and ate at 2 Amigos. My Michelada was delicious! Not sure if they make their own mix or buy it but either way I was truly happy with my drink! My guy was under the weather so he opted for a soup with three tacos on the side (this guy) & and I went with the large shrimp cocktail and one taco. Our food was hot and ready within a timely manner. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail but felt there was too much sauce that made it almost soup-y. The tacos were bomb! I always appreciate a good taco! Our server was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I felt bad for her because she was the only one in the restaurant. Even during down times, it always good to have staff on the floor. It was also weird that there was no music playing, just a TV. I really don't want to hear other people's conversation or awkward silence when I eat. That's where the four stats come in. I love the paintings on the walls too but I wish they cleaned up and dusted a bit. My view was less than ideal for dinner. I don't want to see storage or dusty paintings stored while I eat your delicious food! Overall I will definitely be back for the Michelada itself! It's always hard to find a good one at a restaurant with great food and good service. Thanks 2 Amigos!

I met my family here after work one day. They had waited a round for a while and told me that our waitress was kind enough to let them be seated, even though it would be a while before I met them there. Once I arrived, I was intimidated by the extensive menu. My family ordered guacamole while I browsed the menu. The guacamole was good, yes, but it wasn't the best guac that I have had. It needed a bit more salt and spice to it. But just a bit more of this, and it would have been excellent. The tacos and such are much cheaper then the main entrees, so I went with a taco dinner. This is 3 tacos (I chose 2 chicken and 1 beef) with rice and retried beans. This was a LOT of food, especially after maxing out on guacamole and chips! I mainly ate the insides of the tacos, but I did eat some of the corn tortillas, which were delicious - made in house, the way they're supposed to! The chicken was dry, sadly. All in all, the food was good. Not great. Would I go back? Eh, probably not. I've honestly had better Mexican food.

After spending a few hours walking around Lincoln Square with our son, we had to wait another hour until our daughter got off work to meet us. Most of the restaurants in the area were pretty crowded and had wait times. We needed a place where we could come in out of the cold and just relax until she got there. 2 Amigos had seats to spare. First, I have to say they were wonderfully accommodating. We told them it would be an hour or so until the fourth in our party arrived. Some restaurants say to wait until your whole party arrives. Not here - we were given our choice of seats. Since we did not want to eat until she arrived, we ordered soft drinks. ]They also brought chips and salsa to the table. Their dished salsa was red and mildly spicy. They also had a tomatillo salsa in a bottle that was very good. We also ordered a large bowl of guacamole. It was very plain - they really don't add much to the avocado. But, that was fine with me - it was fresh and quite good. The waitress was very attentive, bringing refills as needed. When our daughter finally arrived, we ordered our meals. Their menu is pretty extensive - traditional Americanized Mexican fare, but they do have goat and lingua on the menu. I opted for a steak torta with fries. The fries were good - hand cut. They were a little undercooked, but with the very large sandwich, I decided I would not ask them to crisp them up. The torta was good, but I have to say I've had better. They were generous with the beans but a little skimpy on the meat. I found the meat to be a little tough too. All in all, not bad, but I have had better. In general, their service was much better than their food. But their guac was very good and shouldn't be missed.

A damn good carne asada burrito at 12am when the only food you've had in the last six hours is three chicken wings and a piece of birthday cake followed by an unknown number of drinks...know what I mean? I shall return. Soberly, and for some horchata!
(4)Kaleigh R.
We ordered a pitcher of margs and they gave us all individual margs and an entire pitcher... There were 6 of us. And they only charged us for the pitcher. This place is DA BOMB. Not to mention, they have GREAT service and authentic taste
(5)Robinn F.
NEVER AGAIN! I stopped in at 4:45 on a Monday. There were mariachis playing excessively loud to a corner table of 2 (I later gathered that it must have been the owners). I requested a margarita with lime juice, rather than sour mix. I was served a glass of sour mix with no alcohol in it. I sent it back and asked the server what beer she had on draft. She didn't understand what I meant. My flauta dinner was so greasy it tasted like the fried rollups you get at 7-11 for 75 cents. I didn't want to send my meal back since I already sent the drink back, so I consumed it as quickly as possible, as the music grew louder and intolerable. My water was not refilled in a timely manner, nor was I offered another beer. I wanted to stab my eyeballs out of my head. I left with a headache, a stomach ache, and no buzz.
(1)Glen H.
Have to say being from San Diego, these tacos are really good. Didn't think Chicago could do it and 2 Amigos did.

(My review is based on my lunch on a Wednesday around 12:30pm-2.) The restaurant is one big open room. It's dimly lit but still has a nice ambience with colorful paint and decoration. It hasn't been remodeled too recently. But, it seemed fairly well-maintained for its age. I didn't check out the bathroom though. The restaurant was only about a 1/4 filled. Service was good. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. My friend and I both had the 3 taco plate with rice and beans. It came out pretty quickly. The rice and beans were pretty standard. The tacos were good. I had one of each of the following: chicken, ground beef, and steak. I thought the chicken could have used some seasoning, the ground beef was okay. The steak taco was definitely the best. We also had a large order of guacamole. It was good. It was a big portion for two people though. In retrospect, a small would have been better. The chips are good too. Corn chips - they were fresh and crunchy. Overall, I wasn't blown away by the experience. But, it was good. No complaints.
(4)Alena H.
This place deserves more credit than it gets. Their vegetarian chimichangas with avocado inside are deeeelicious. I always hit them up late night or any time I am in town now that I've moved away. Fast, nice service, free chips & salsa if I remember correctly too...
(5)Sarah M.
This place is one of the only places open late in Logan Square after a night of drinking. Their steak burritos are delicious and guac here is amazing! Food is very reasonably priced and the waitress is super nice even when dealing with a bunch of drunk people.
(4)Amy W.
Love the well-priced tacos and hefty servings of guac! I've never sat down here for a meal, but I've placed to-go orders many times, and I've always been happy with the food and prompt service. Also: soups to-go by the half-gallon?! AH-MAZING! The menudo came with hearty slices of tripe, but were a bit slim on the toppings.
(4)Karen C.
It was a day/night of adventure which concluded with a stop here. We stopped at Revolution and while there we kept eyeing 2 Amigos. Deciding we wanted a few tacos for the road, my friend and I stopped in. And it did not disappoint! I got the steak and pork tacos...delicious! They really hit the spot. Spoiler, this was the second time I had tacos that day, and I'd rate these superior. The waitress was also quick with getting our order and bringing it out. Overall, a place I would recommend. And will likely go back in the future.
(4)Laura C.
Seasoning is one of the hardest things to master as a cook. At 2 Amigos, they are a little heavy handed on the seasoning, but the flavors are robust and authentic. I recommend the carne asada and the al pastor tacos. The appetizer tortilla chips were served warm, and they were substantial - great for scooping up guacamole without falling apart. Service leaves a bit to be desired, but you're not paying for that at these prices.
(4)Salvador C.
Dang baby how long has it been since I've had your burrito de picadillo? I still got that 2 Amigos calendario you gave me. I've been around, but don't trip you still my favorite burrito spot. Yea i still want my burrito de picadillo with everything including queso and aguacate. I still dont like the lechuga doe. Aw you know I want it. Open late too! Imma catch up with you. Burrito de picadillo you my only burrito.
(4)Camelia D.
Let me start by saying my 4 stars is for the food! It was amazing!! Went there on Cinco de Mayo and I am sad to say they were very understaffed, I actually felt sorry for the only two servers covering the ever changing flow of 15 tables! The margheritas were made with a pre-made mix that was nothing special and we waited about an hour for our food. All that being said, the food was perfect! Will be back, just not on a busy day...
(4)Jannice P.
It's not the best Mexican food in Chicago, but here are the reasons why I love 'em in no specific order: 1. Authentic 2. Inexpensive 3. BEAAANNSSS 4. Extra sauce 5. Fast service 6. Friendly staff 7. There's always a table available 8. Open late 9. Good location 10. I can have beer across the street at Revolutionary afterwards :D Boom.
(4)Nicki P.
Stopped in for a late night taco fix in the neighborhood. This place is pretty good, not crazy amazing but hit the spot. The Carne asada was cooked perfectly, the rice and beans lacked flavor but the guacamole was solid. Parking is terrible with Revolution brewery across the street but I'll probably be back.
(3)Kenya A.
LOVE their chicken tacos! Only thing I've had from them so far. Thinking about trying a burrito next time. Great customer service and great prices
(4)Teresa P.
The staff here is awesome and the chorizo chimichanga will explode your heart with exciting emotions and grease!
(4)Rob M.
Service is dope. Food is delicious, but the free salsa is HOT. CAUTION.
(4)S B.
I got a Chicken burrito last night. Took it home, and the whole thing was soggy and wet. It fell apart easily and was difficult to eat and messy. 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. Not to mention how my stomach felt after all that. I will not eat here again.
(1)Leslie M.
Best Mexican restaurant! Authentic and delicious. I have been going to this place since I was little and it's still amazing. Delicious flavoring and great service. Burritos, all tacos, sopes, gorditas are all fantastic. Great spot and open late.
(5)Pete V.
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.
(2)T C.
What you need to order: 1) Steak tacos 2) Steak torta Or 3) Steak gordita I have been to every little taqueria around the California/ Milwaukee intersection (which includes Lazos and Arturo's,) and no one compares to 2 amigos. I was in the search for cheap food when I can't make it to the grocery store. Now, I go here at least once a week because I love them so much! The steak is seasoned well and the three items I listed are not greasy. It's difficult to find a taqueria that isn't! Combined with these three items, the red salsa really shines! You've never had a salsa like this. The gourmet stuff at Big Star and at Rick Bayless restaurants is fun but sometimes I want a classic done right. The garlic in the salsa gives a creamy flavor which works well with the sweet tomatoes. Sometimes the salsa is extremely mild, sometimes medium, sometimes very spicy but usually medium. This is kinda cool because it is all made on site and the season determines he heat of the jalapeños in the salsa. I will bring a 32oz of this stuff home a week because it's soooo good!!! I list three items to try because everything else is alright. Nothing amazing but still cheap and good. Their guac is horrible and I wish they would make it differently because we would order it all the time. It seems like they put it in the blender because of the foamy, toothpaste texture. I personally like a creamy guac. My boyfriend and I love the waitresses. We chat and get to know each other. They know how to choose good girls! Check this place out weather you're schwasted or want some good family food that will satisfy!
(5)Michelle T.
First off the service was a bit slow. After we ordered drinks the waiter left for a while and came back to take our order without the drinks. I had to remind her about our drinks which were easy nonalcoholic beverages. We ordered guacamole and it was horrible. It was watered down and reminded me of the kind they serve in those all inclusive resorts. Our food took a little longer then expected. I had the steak torta which was good not great. My fiancé burrito was just mediocre. The prices were descent but I do not plan on coming back.
(2)Alysa F.
Originally my friends and I planned on eating at Revolution, but decided we were too hungry to wait an hour and a half. Looked up what was nearby and 2 amigos popped up right across the street! There was no wait, friendly service, and the food's so good! I've gotten the steak burrito a couple times .. It's huge and it's super affordable too. Will def be back to try more!
(4)Benjamin S.
We were heading to Revolution Brewing for dinner around 6pm last night but it was packed. We had a nice parking spot so we thought we'd look around the neighborhood for something else. Lo and behold, right across the street was this fantastic little Mexican restaurant. Service was great. We had some fantastic guacamole to start and I had the Combination #3 as my main. All the food was great. My wife had a couple of margaritas and said they were great (I was driving that night). All in all it was a happy accident. Great place.
(5)Kyle H.
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.
(2)Dominick C.
Maria, soy yo, Domingo. (Because you are an authentic early 20th century indigenous Mexican, you read the next part in perfect Spanish despite it actually written in crappy English). It's been almost 2 years since I escaped from that prison, Willis Tower. I'm heading out again, but this time, I find myself at a pleasant neighborhood cantina, 2 Friends (Dos Amigos). Despite the misnomer in the name, there are more than 2 people here. Sadly, none of them are my friends. Alas, I have come alone, to hide in shame from your father. And to enjoy authentic mortar- and pestle-ground salsa. Aye! This green one burns. I ordered a large, delicious Horchata to cool off the burn. Though the burn of your father's denial will never cool. The decor of the place is beautiful-- with Aztecan and Catholic art. It reminds me of home. (A home, in pieces). I shall order a Combination Plate #3 to fill the void where my happiness should be. I fill it, deliciously, with a taco, refried beans, a sope, and a stuffed pepper. I apologize if this message is covered in sauce, as I am a messy eater, though this is a sign that I enjoyed the company-- of the food, that is, I have NOamigos. I pray this message reaches you quickly. (the wi-fi is free). Perhaps when we are reunited, I will show you this place. We shall be just 2 amigos, wed, at 2Amigos. Your love, Domingo.
(4)Uriel G.
If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the spot. I recommend the carne tampiqueña and the caldo de camarón.
(5)Michael E.
Very tasty steak tacos....al pastor was yummy as well...I will be back here again in the future
(4)Remahn F.
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.
(4)Ben H.
Standard mexican place. As I've written before I'm not generally wowed by any place mexican. Their free chips and salsa were high above average, but we had an exceptionally long wait time which was even worse because my toddler was hungry and tired (but believe me, the wait was exceptionally long even without this factor). My wife thought it was average, my daughter hardly ate (though we believe now she just doesn't like Mexican cuisine very much). I ordered what looked to be a house specialty. "Guisado de Puerco con Chile Rojo." I believe this might have been what took so long to prepare as the other things we ordered were standard taco/relleno type things. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good (I would say above average), but the amount of pork they gave me was laughable. There was more meat in the taco we ordered for my daughter (and paid less for). I'm willing to write this off as a problem in the kitchen that night.. that caused the delay and a minuscule amount of pork. So, i'm not about to totally rail against this place. That being said, there are so many other Mexican joints in the area that this one will be low priority on our return list.
(3)Chuck W.
I'm a recent convert from Taquiera Moran. This place has an even bigger burrito, complete with sour cream and avocado, for $6.15. How can you go wrong? Additionally, I like the salsa here a bit more than Moran's. I find myself here at least once per weekend. The waitstaff is always super friendly and your food arrives really quickly. I'd advise avoiding Friday or Saturday nights though, you tend to get a lot of drunks or lots of families with screaming children depending on the time of night.
(5)Lina M.
I absolutely love love love this restaurant! The carne asada is to die for! And the rice, beans, and fries it comes with will make you go crazy! The guacamole and salsas they serve are sooo good! One of the best Mexican restaurants here in the north side of Chicago! The staff is so nice and polite. The environment is very nice, spacious, and clean. My family and I eat here 2 times a month. It's a must try.
(5)Stella K.
I stopped by here with a group of friends before heading to Two Way Friday night. The lighting is pretty shitty and the place looks a little run down, but that's usually a sign that the food is humble and good (at least to me.) I ordered a mango margarita and you can tell it was made with fresh mangos. It was also super strong. The food is relatively cheap and comes in large portions (their tortas, especially!) I ordered some chorizo tacos and the chorizo was incredible. Service was quick and polite. We fed five people and each got a drink for ~$50.
(4)Ashley B.
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.
(3)Chapman H.
I'm not the kind of person to write terrible things about any restaurant I step foot in, just for the sake of being a jerk on the internet. It is a very rare occasion that I don't have a good experience at a restaurant and certainly even more rare that I have one so bad it is worth writing about. The food here is terrible. I really have no clue how this place has such a high rating... maybe this was a fluke? The chips are from a bag. The salsa tastes like pizza sauce. This was the strangest and worst burrito I've ever had. There was an EXTREME amount of cheese, onions and avocado in this thing and nothing else. No rice? No tomatoes? No beans? I don't understand. I love avocados but the amount of huge slices that were in there was revolting. It's open late which is a plus I guess. Waitress was nice. Thought I could get away with this place because Moran was closed. Never again.
(1)Sarah H.
Booooo! Bad margaritas (premixed, a lot of sour mix), bad queso fundito, and average entrees. I will probably not come here again. I'd rather take a cab to Tarascas across town!
(2)Dana I.
I'd always avoided 2 Amigos because my former roommate insisted it was the best Mexican restaurant around and would always take girls on what he thought were dates and they did not think where dates there. He and I have fairly opposite taste in pretty much every thing in the entire universe, so I'd stuck to Moran or L'Patron if I was sober or El Charro if I was drunk. HOWEVER, I was riding up Milkwaukee Avenue with the sore throat and feeling of impending doom that comes before sickness, and really wanted some chicken soup. Stopped in to the ominous brick building just as the US-Mexico game was at half time. I was served promptly in Spanglish by an attentive waitress who advised me to buy the large chicken soup. SHE WAS RIGHT. At least a quart of soup, full of potatoes, corn, carrots and two big pieces of chicken. On the side came endless corn tortillas, a cup of yellow rice, and a plate of cilantro and diced raw onions to flavor your soup to your liking. I was soothed. My sickness abated. My roommate stopped by and had a Pacifico, and we were 2 Amigas enjoying 2 Amigos, the soccer game on TV, the adorable baby running around the restaurant, and the spicy-yet-not-too-slimy green salsa and chips. An excellent experience. But if my former roommate asks you to get a burrito here, be warned that it is a date.
(4)Haikanarumi L.
Its really cheap, and their tortas, orchata, and red sauce is great! I love this place, quick service and good food (plus cheap!)
(5)Katharine T.
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.
(3)Stephanie M.
This place is fantastic. After an extremely negative experience at Taqueria Moran, boyfriend and I decided to try this place up the street. We both ordered vegetarian burritos, and were surprised to find they came with avocado! Most places simply give you rice and beans and charge $.50 extra. The salsa was also amazing, and the staff was very friendly an attentive. We come back often, I highly recommend this place!
(5)Dana F.
I've made it a personal goal to try every Mexican joint in Logan Square. 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. The restaurant was relatively empty and as a result, our service was attentive and prompt. (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.
(3)Todd M.
This is my favorite of the many Mexican places in the area. The chicken burrito and chimichanga are both excellent.
(4)Jerry F.
ALRIGHT! This is the hot spot to have. They have real yummy foods like tacos with cheese and tortas! A torta is a sandwich! The staff is real good and nice and they will let you talk to them all the time so they are good. They have really good margaritas too. Those are pretty good. I don't think they serve pizza but I don't know all the way.
(5)mary s.
Great service. Lovely margaritas. My favorite veggie tacos in Chicago.
(5)Bryan D.
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.
(5)Keith M.
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.
(4)Adam S.
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.
(4)Eric B.
Steak Burrito Especial is awesome, delicious steak, avocado, sour cream - the way a loaded burrito should be. It's also huge! I've gone late night, lunch and dinner. Great Mexican food all around. Try the guac too.
(4)Yosef Z.
I was starving and craving some good authentic Mexican food, I was around the California station, so I thought: I'm most certainly in luck, I marched to taqueria Moran. I sat down there for a good 15 minutes without getting any service. Once the waitress came I spoke to her in my native language, Spanish, for I thought that would be better; after that the nightmare began. No service, no acknowledgement of my presence, or my girlfriend's for that matter, nothing until one of the guys noticed the problem and decided to take our orders. We ordered and I was in the mood for a Michelada, for I haven't had one of those in years, so he asked me for my ID (a Mexican drivers license) he checked it (he being a Mexican) rudely said I need to see American ID, I don't know if I believe what you are saying. We both, me and my girlfriend, flipped out at the courteous gesture and decided to keep walking down Milwaukee until we found Amigos. I was mad and feeling a bit skeptical about the place, but a guy walking out told me that it was just a slow day, that the place was amazing. I decided to trust him and I do not regret it. Amigos has the original Mexican touch. I ordered Asada tacos and Lengua tacos, trust me, just like in Mexico. The salsa was spicy for real, the ingredients used in the tacos and in general were the best. My girlfriend got quesadillas, the quesadillas were made with authentic Oaxaca cheese from MEXICO!!!! best quesadillas ever. To top it all, the waitress, Maru was incredibly nice and service oriented, nothing to do with our previous experience. If you are ever around, you should by all means stop at Amigos and have some tacos, quesadillas or what ever may suit you fancy.

I've been here twice. Both times because Revolution Brewery was obnoxiously busy. I've decided I'd rather eat at 2 Amigos. The food is tasty, spicy and hot. The beer is Mexican and cold. Winner!

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.

I love this place. There is one particular server here who is worth 5 stars herself. She is always sweet and attentive but last night I watched her bolt after some dine-n-dashers like a badass. Awesome.

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. :)

Anytime i want Mexican i know i can come here for consistancy. The steak meat quality is great. Some places you never know it can be chewy and not good quality. Its a good spot for your Mexican favorites. Their house salsa is spicy but you can request the tomato salsa which is alot more mild. Their tacos and burritos are yummy but my favorite thing on the menu is the Bistec la Mexicana.... I havent been anywhere else that makes it better.
(5)Angelica E.
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. Our waitress was nice and they food came pretty quickly. Our tacos were pretty tasty (I had streak and my friend a veggie), sauces not too bad, but the guac was very plain jane. This place is A-OK in my book!

Being a Chef of Mexican decent has made me a bit of a Mexican food critic. Chicago taco shops have a reputation of being extremely marginal, but not Dos Amigos. I must've passed this place at least a thousand times in my 6 years in Logan Square, always thinking how cheesy their sign was, never going in until 2 weeks ago... ...My mom was in town visiting and she made the call to walk into Dos Amigos. I had the Carne Asada burrito and it was perfect. Awesomely marinated steak, but with way too many ingredients like most Chicago burritos. The beans and salsa were amazing. Most taquerias here don't take enough pride in their beans, these guys do! I always say you judge a Mexican food spot by the quality of their beans, tortillas, and salsa, Dos Amigos does all three perfectly. Also, the service was fast and friendly. Yes, fast and friendly! I couldn't believe it either. I will be a customer as long as I live here. I feel like a bonehead for not coming here sooner.

Stopped in randomly after a concert. The burritos are delicious! Friendly wait staff with good service. Wish I didn't live so far away.

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!
(3)Paul Z.
Great Steak tacos, good chips and salsa at a good price, I enjoyed this place except for the service, my waitress was very inattentive when it came to drinks , chips and salsa and bringing the check
(4)Anna G.
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.
(5)Jacqueline M.
This is your typical Mexican fare. But what really sets this place apart is the great service!
(3)James V.
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. I'm not talking about a topped-off-with-rice-and-filler ordeal. This is steak country, my friends. 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. Dos Amigos is my burrito soul mate. Especially topped off with some salsa roja made from chile de arbol. You've gotta ask for it tho.

It's places like this that make me wish I was too drunk to cook every night.

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. 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.
(3)Bill M.
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! This is huge!" Then twenty minutes later I'm thinking "Goddamnit, how did I eat all of that?!" 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." Firefox is totally a tool of zombie Ronald Reagan.
(4)Charles B.
A little slow late nights , but the food is pretty goood
(3)Lani C.
Not bad, fast service flavorful chicken tacos I'd go back to try something else. Their lemonade is really good as well but didn't care for the pulpy orchata.
(3)Joshua G.
I love this place. It was the first Mexican restaurant I went to in the city. The atmosphere is great. The food is good. Not much to say except I highly recommend this joint.
(4)Dale S.
Go hungry! My Favorites is either the steak taco dinner or steak burrito. Service can be a bit slow when busy but well worth wait (would have knock a star off for slowness but the Food makes up for it). Beer selection is ok. Go check it out and you'll be again and again!
(5)Kris G.
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!!
(5)Mike H.
Fantastic burrito. Perfectly flavored chicken, cilantro all up in it. And their house salsa packs a punch.
(4)Karen C.
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.
(4)Nicolas H.
Pretty great spot, especially since they are open later than most restaurants in the immediate area. The Al Pastor taco was cooked perfectly, one of the better ones I've ever had in fact, so much so that I wanted to order another one before I finished the first. I also tried the Picadillo Sope which was huge and awesome. The meat was cooked perfectly and the toppings were piled high. Unfortunately, they started the meal by serving what were obviously tortilla chips straight out of a bag. On top of that the chips were completely stale (chewy) and awful. I'll never understand mexican restaurants that don't make their own tortilla chips, but I guess since they are free I shouldn't complain...
(4)Carmelita T.
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. Homemade flour tortillas, and the rice is fabulous! Plus, a good sized side of yummy guac included = BONUS!!! We had fajitas -- steak and chicken -- and the quality of meat was good, and cooked well. Good meat to onion/pepper ratio. 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.
(4)Kath D.
The vegetarian burrito, no cheese no creme, has kept me alive at times for at least the past 8 years. And the margaritas, as well. I lived above this place for a while and never ate there when I did (why? not sure.) 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. 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.
(5)Nicole M.
I recently moved to Logan and I am in love with this spot! My bf and I went there and ordered the steak chimichanga... about 6 bucks i think and absolutely huge! Every bite was beyond great and I am obsessed.. We go back weekly, its our monday night treat ;)
(5)Mark Z.
Awesome food. Open late. What more can you ask for.
(5)Caitlin G.
I'm on a search for the greatest veggie burrito in the city and 2 amigos is definitely a high ranker. I've never had any problems with my order, be it take out or dine-in and the staff are always pretty friendly. I only ever order the burrito (about once every two weeks) so I can't speak too much on the rest of the menu, but my meat eating friends who are more adventurous than me also love it. They're open pretty late too, which is never a bad idea for a good Mexican joint.
(4)Sean L.
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!
(3)Rachel A.
BEST VEGETARIAN BURRITO IN CHICAGO. I have been looking for something equal and have not found it. Chilie Rellanos also good, homemade sopes...Also their margaritas actually contain tequila unlike drinking a pitcher of it at El Cid and not feeling any effects at all. (No it wasn't the fact the food absorbed it all; I had an empty stomach). If you want a pitcher just ask; it is not on the menu.
(5)Soft Pie N.
This place has my favorite burrito. I like it better than chipotle, and i love chipotle. I get the vegetarian burrito, the only reason i give 4 stars and not five is because i have to order without lettuce or the fill it up so that ur burrito is almost half lettuce! way to much. Also, im really doubting that the beans in the veggie burrito are actually vegetarian. in fact id be really surprised if they were. and dont get me wrong, the beans are sooo good. Just not so much vegetarian.
(4)Raul B.
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.
(4)Nino S.
Just moved into the neighborhood and was excited to try out this spot as their carne asada came highly recommended from homeowners that lived down the block for over 35 years. I ordered a three taco dinner that comes with rice and beans. I tried three different tacos: carne asada, pastor, and chorizo. The beans had tons of flavor and despite the fact that I'm both a lover of pork and blood sausage, the carne asada was probably my favorite. Great flavors... Good, friendly service... And frosted mugs for beer. Will back to this spot time and again.
(4)Steve R.
I went here once and it frankly wasn't very good. 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! Fast 'n good, extra cilantro, good quality meat (for a mexican joint anyway). Wife says the veggie burrito is outtasight, I dunno as I like to eat things that had a mom. Worth a stop if it's after midnight on a weekend. Seems pretty carry out oriented, but the interior is quite nice...much more than you'd expect. One downside: the guacamole is freakin' terrible, tastes like it came out of the can.
(4)Morgan C.
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.
(4)Carl S.
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. You get unlimted (sometimes very stale) chips and salsa for the table. The salsa is pretty spicy, which is pretty nice. However, the food itself is where things get a little rough for me. 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. 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. But I wouldn't opt to go there otherwise. Overall verdict: DENIED.
(1)LC S.
Best vegetarian tortas ever-- huge and fresh- for 3 dollars. You could make two small meals out of it! And free wi-fi, in a big spacious room. Nice.
(4)Maureen C.
Yah, that's exactly right, this place is A-OK. Remember, three stars is still a good rating. If you're going to get anything here then please get the burrito especial, it's the best thing on the menu. The tacos are good too, but not the best in the neighborhood. If you want dessert I'm always a sucker for tres leches. The waitresses here are nice. It's open late so that's cool. Oh and unless you want to burn your taste buds off before you even get your meal then ask for their red salsa instead of the one they bring out to the table.
(3)Natasha M.
We came here for a Sunday lunch after reading some decent reviews. BEWARE: VERY SPICY SALSA! This place looks pretty sketchy from outside, but when you get in, it is totally different. It's family oriented and very cozy. The chips and salsa there are amazing, but also amazingly spicy...so spicy that we both have to put ice in mouth to cool it off for 10 minutes. If you are not into spicy, ask them for the mild salsa, which is much more manageable. The carne asado and Carne asada Tampiquena are huge and very delicious. The portion was good for two meals. The taste is very heavy. I love heavy taste, so I am good with it, but for some it may be too greasy or salty. Definitely try the rice drink, a traditional home-made drink that's a fusion of rice, cinnamon, and milk tea. It really is unique! Go here if you want large portions of great Mexican food at low prices.
(4)Ryan M.
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. The food was good. The service sucked. The soap operas were entertaining.
(3)Rachel H.
I lived pretty much above this place for two years so it became a convenient late night taco place for us. I like the skirt steak and the tacos, but the guacamole is not so great. The chicken soup is delicious and huge, but the service can be very slow. Nothing super special, but it was good due to its convenience.
(3)Tony L.
Well another Mexican joint that we've come to in Logan Square. The exterior was kind of misleading like the other poster said but inside was kind of nice. 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. The chips and salsa aren't very good, but it tries really hard to make up for it in the spicy category. I got the bistec a la mexicana, not bad but not all that great either. 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.
(3)Lisa M.
If you are a vegitarian, try the avacado tosdas..the best I have had in Chicago. Heaps of Avacado, delicous beans, s.c and cheese. My boyfriend had a huge steak burrito..delicous. I agree with the earlier comments on the chips and salsa(not the best) but check out this spot for the funky interor.
(4)MahaKali S.
I'm all for Mexican food, but this place is just so darn good! The girls were I work got food from there- so I went along with. The inside decor in this place is AWESOME. It's very '70s retro with all the wood carvings and such. And the huge Aztec paintings are gorgeous! But about the food.... I got the Vegetarian burrito- no cheese, no sour cream (I'm a vegitarian, and that's just the way I like it) I was so excited when I got this humongous thing. And even more excited when I found more than just the basics inside. Green beans, corn, carrots, lima beans....all on top of the basic beans, rice, tomatoes, and lettuce. And man- it was delicious! I went back with my husband later in the week to sit down for a meal there. The place was pretty empty- but there were some cops there (that's how you KNOW the foods good) ;) I got the same thing- hoping it would be as good, and he got 3 tacos- two ground beef, 1 steak. We got the basic chips and salsa as we sat and waited- but when the food came- oh man. The burrito was even bigger than I remembered, and tastier too. The tacos- my husband said were AMAZING. Together- we've both eaten a whole lot of Mexican food in Chicago- but I gotta say- this one is definitely one of- if not our favorite.
(5)Miss O.
delicious. so excited i stumbled upon this place. everything down to their refried beans were excellent. great friendly staff. they have terrific micheladas so that is always a plus. love it.
(4)Nino M.
I have eaten here several times. The prices are pretty reasonable. The prtions are insane! Well, the place is clean,kind of dark lighting, and the restaurant architecture isn't all fiesta and Corona commercial bright and colory BUTI don't go there to eat the decor. There is a mandatory faux painting of the Aztec guy " Moctezuma" carrying that naked dead chick. I think that was his queen. I'm not Mexican so I appologise in advance if I offended anyone out there. Sorry. Now onto the FOOD! First the service is pretty decent. No complaint there. You get the complimentary basket of tortilla chips. Water. I usually order the Burrito suizo dinner. It's not on the Menu as a dinner but you can ask for it and they won't have a problem with it. The Burrito Suizo is a burrito with melted swiss cheese on top. Yummy. The size of the Burrito is HUGE! About the size of a meatloaf. A MEATLOAF! I told you the portions are huge. Maybe that's why the place is called " 2 Amigos". Because maybe you need two amigos to help you finish your food. I also order the half chicken dinner. Ma, super tasty and again, big portions low price. They have an atm on the premises and there is also a citibank just down the corner. Sticker machine, Nice televsion viewing, Nice sized tables incase you have a large family or go with a party of friends. My only complaint is not with the actual restaurant but with some of the customers. The times I have frequented the restaurant there have been people there with bratty kids who are usually loud and their parents seem to think people think it's cute to see kids running around and being loud. No that's bad parenting. not cute. Also, the bathrooms could use a remodeling but like I said before I am not there to eat the decor. So I would definitely recommend this place. That is all for now. I have to go now. I'm watching Batman with Adam West on MeTV. lATER.
(4)Chicago g.
This place has great food and friendly service. My only complaint is it takes quite a while to get my food. For all you MENUDO & POZOLE lovers... this place serves it up 7 days a week. By far this has the best Mexican food.
(5)Alexis H.
"Just another Mexican joint in Logan Square" is a great way of describing this restaurant. There is absolutely nothing special about 2 Amigos, but at the same time, there's nothing that keeps me away. When I'm looking for decent Mexican food that's a step up from the 24 hour taco joints but not anything fancy, this is where I go. Some nights the food is great, and other nights it can be questionable. The prices are odd: $6 for a taco dinner, but $8 for the nachos appetizer? Really? Oh well, guess I'm skipping the nachos. Stick to tacos and burritos and you'll do okay.
(3)Lindsay N.
Just another cheap Mexican food place in Logan Square. Nothing special. The burritos are HUGE however, and pretty good. Watch out, though... I've found a chicken bone on two seperate occasions in the burritos, so bite with care. Oh yeah, and just go ahead and bring your own chips cause theirs are no bueno.
