had to check this place out as some of the reviews were rather stellar, well the food is good, but not great. also, the food is not really Mexican food, more Mexican style food, or better still, Tex-Mex. went on a Thursday night, rather busy, however the hostess seemed like she would rather be any place else in the world...

This is a great choice if you like good mexican cuisine. The service is outstanding at an unbeatable price. Do not let the full parking lot scare you away, because it is unbelievable how fast and attentive their service can be.

The restaurant has good menu of food and I would say close to authentic. The problems I had during my visit were that it took a long time to be seated ( there was plenty of room), the servers never introduced themselves, the ambience was not very enjoyable because the staff appear to be running up and down and the...

We eat here almost weekly -- great chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadillas, or Numero Cinco. Staff are great. And I can understand almost all of them (adds to the atmosphere)!

If you're looking for a place to get consistently good, fast, and well-priced Mexican food in CU, this is the place to go. You get tons of food with most of the meals and the prices are great!

I am new to town from Phoenix and I was looking for a good mexican place to remind me of the southwest. The service was goof though maybe a little slow. The food was fantastic especially the cheese dip and salsa. They are very afforable and you get so much food. We will def be back often

My family has been eating at Dos Reales since it opened more than 15 years ago. We used to live close to the restaurant and ate there at least once a week. Since we moved out of town, I usually only go with coworkers for midweek lunches. It is consistently good, the service is super fast, and the prices are... More

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Champaign is Maize, but that's more for a quick meal/take-out. Dos Reales is the best sit-down option. I don't know how authentic the food is, but it's very good, and the prices are very reasonable. There's also a nice festive atmosphere to the place, and service is pretty good.

I went here for good, authentic Mexican food. I got authentic Mexican food. We were seated quickly (+), but it took a while to get the nachos and salsa. Nary a word from our server on why there were two bowls of salsa - a heads up that one was spicy and one was mild would have helped. The main... More
