Let me preface this by saying I am a huge fan of Mexican food--it is actually my favorite cuisine. When faced with the choice of where to eat Mexican in Champaign-Urbana, Dos Reales never fails to be top of mind. I'd be embarrassed to find out how many times I have actually eaten here (or picked up take-out).
I love Dos Reales for
1. the consistency of taste and quality of the menu items.
2. the friendly waiters and waitresses I recognize with each visit.
3. always making sure I have chips and [2 varieties of] salsa throughout the entire dining experience.
4. bringing out the food an average 10 minutes after I place an order.
Dos is a great place to grab a quick bite to eat with family, post up and drink margs with a group of friends or even enjoy a taco salad on the outdoor patio.
Don't ever forget to mention that it's someone in your party's birthday because you'll be missing out on the sombrero & song experience!
P.S. Get the "Nachos Supreme for hungry ones," if you like eating challenges. My college roommate and I call it 'for the hungry ONE' because one person can do serious damage on this heaping plate of nachos--if they just believe.
