| - I came here with a big group of people, for a friend's birthday dinner. Though I'm an omnivore, the vegetarian options were apparently pretty good, so we settled on Dos Reales over a few other options. The service was great, and the waiters were welcoming.
I ordered a carnitas dinner, which provided me with enough food for two meals. The pork was cooked to perfection, and the rest of the plate (beans, rice, lettuce, tomatoes) was pretty standard for Mexican food around here. I really enjoyed the sauce on the carnitas, which was the highlight of my meal. It could have come with a few more tortillas, though; the dish only came with three, which was definitely not enough for this huge meal.
As much as I enjoyed the food, you have to remember that you're eating at a Mexican restaurant a few blocks away from the highway in central Illinois. The location and the atmosphere, even though the restaurant looks decently clean and well-kept, is still a little bit off, and I'm reluctant to give it a fifth star, as much as I enjoyed the food and the service.
