  “We had an excellent time at Dos Amigos. All the staff were outstanding, a real credit to the restaurant and what's more it was our 7year wedding anniversary and we were seated in a lovely wee corner, all waiting staff and especially the lady in the black suit.. Amazing. Dos Amigos should be grateful to these staff for representing them so well. The food was also excellent and really good value. We also loved the wee. Free. Shots to celebrate our anniversary.. Husband also got a non alcoholic one since he was driving... Truly above and beyond. If we were local we would be regular and happy customers.

  “Food looked amazing but it was sadly disappointing. Not authentic Mexican more Tex Mex.”

  “I'm really puzzled as to why this place has such glowing reviews..... I appreciate Aberdeen hasn't got many places to eat but come on.... It's not a mexican. It's more Spanish. But it's not Spanish. I feel this place has a real lack of proper identity. The food is ok. Not amazing. The burritos are sub par and 10000x worse than Fresh Mex. The tapas stuff is OK but the portions are tiny. The wine is bog standard as are the cocktails. The service not great.... Almost all the servers were so quiet we couldn't hear them, and upon asking for a spicy margarita I was asked if I'd rather a mojito instead... What?.... No. I asked for a spicy margarita. So so strange. It was all rather expensive too, and we won't be back sadly.”

  “The tapas dishes were very tasty, however the paella was incredibly salty - i couldn't finish it due to this. I mentioned this to the staff which responded with 'ok'. The staff standing next to your table at the entrance waiting for guests is a bit too much.”

  “We chanced getting a reservation on the Friday before Valentine's Day with only 1h30m notice, and were delighted that they could fit us in! Lovely menu - my husband I went for the tapas and shared 6 dishes between us, all absolutely incredible. Flavoursome and moreish. Having not eaten calamari since my teens, I decided to brave it and did not regret a thing! Staff were all friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning.”

  “I’m actually gutted to be writing a negative review, as I really don’t enjoy doing them. But Dos Amigos just didn’t live up to the hype. It’s tucked away down a bit of a sketchy looking road, even though it’s just off one of the main streets in town. From the outside, the building does look the part, like a charming little Spanish restaurant, which I appreciated. But once inside, the stairs going up to the toilets (and the toilets themselves) were pretty rough and really need some attention. The main restaurant area sticks to the Spanish theme, but it just felt dated. Like it maybe had a nice vibe once, but could do with a refresh. I’d heard loads of good things about the food, which is what brought me here. But honestly, only a couple of the dishes really stood out. The steak burrito in particular was a let down, overcooked and so piping hot it felt like it had been through a microwave (Chef Mike might’ve had a hand in that one). Flavour wise, it wasn’t awful, there were some nice bits, but overall, it just didn’t hit the way I was expecting. We were in and out in about 30 minutes, which says a lot considering how much food we ordered. If that doesn’t scream microwave, I don’t know what does.”

  “Second time coming to this restaurant with the first time being a couple of years ago. Absolutely incredible. It is unique, it is delicious, it is filling, the staff are lovely, it's got it all. We got seated immediately, and were served within a few minutes. The drink options were good and the food was served hot and fresh within around 15 minutes. I had the chicken and chorizo paella and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. Great portion size, great temperature, incredible flavour, fresh. 10/10 My girlfriend has the steak tacos and also rated them highly and spoke of them for the next two days. Will absolutely be going back to try more on the menu, well done to the staff there. We had a wonderful visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something authentic or simply wanting good food in a restaurant that isn't part of a large chain.”

  “Absolutely loved this restaurant! We are from Swindon and on holiday in Scotland. We've spent the day in Aberdeen and fancied Mexican. We checked Google reviews and were NOT disappointed! This restaurant was amazing! The food and service was excellent. The owner is clearly very proud of his restaurant and it shows! He gave us recommendations and served us wholeheartedly. Food we ordered: tapas, nibbles of nachos and bread. The nachos were incredible and the best I've ever had! I'll never forget this experience and the food.”

  “Visited on 2 June 2022 at 12:15 with a friend of mine. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Aberdeen city centre. The service is unmatched. The staff truly care about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing - everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in Aberdeen city centre. Highly recommend!”
