“Packed! And with good reason.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

We eat at El dos De Oros quite often and really love it. Anything you buy is excellent and fully authentic we are told - by those who know. The place was packed, but they had plenty of food and good service. The tables and chairs there are hand-painted and really cute and colorful.

“Unmatched in Hays, and among best we've had”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Thought we'd never find Mexican food to match what we enjoyed living in San Diego. Dos de Oros is every bit as good, but less expensive. Located in a nondescript strip mall, it's a bit hard to find but so worth it! Carne Asada tacos, the "America" (cheese enchiladas topped w/chicken and cheese) and Enchiladas Suizas are hard to beat. Two other Mexican restaurants in Hays are very good, but are just a bit short of Dos de Oros on freshness, flavor and service. We eat there 2-3 times a month, and have never had a bad experience or item.

“Good mexican food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

This was a nice restaurant with good food. The ingredients were fresh and the dishes were varied and well-made. My husband has rather high standards and I only heard positive comments regarding the experience. The staff was helpful and friendly.

“Tasty Mexican”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012 via mobile

Fresh, well prepared food. Clean restaurant and nice folks. Guacamole salad was just shredded taco lettuce, guac, cheese and a slice of tomato. Nothing special but it was still good and the ingredients were fresh and it was a nice portion size. Tacos and burritos were good. Beef was a little salty but otherwise well spiced and not greasy at all.

Don't let the "by the highway behind the gas station" location fool you. This is good ethnic food outside of bigger metros like KC.

“Yummy!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012

This is a small, but popular place. It was busy, but we got a table right away. Good quality Mexican food!
