Dos Pesos Mexican Restaurant

Now, I’m from California and I know what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like. This place isn’t it.
I’ve eaten here on several occasions and the food doesn’t get better. We had carry out last time and I ordered the cheese quesadilla which has always has guacamole on it. Got home to find that there wasn’t any on the quesadillas. When I called to ask them to ask them to get it ready I was told you now have to ask for it and if I wanted it, I needed to pay another $ 2.50.
Needless to say I was disappointed and I won’t go back.

Again, I really want to see local restaurants do well here in Belleville, but after stopping in at Dos Pesos for the first time I feel compelled to write a review.
My wife and I split a jumbo Margarita which was without a doubt the lowest quality restaurant margarita I’ve ever had. The drink was separated and didn’t have close to enough ice. Also, there was a thick frothy later on top and the taste of low low quality tequila was overpowering.
Service was sub par. We got our food quickly enough but our group did not have silverware when it arrived so we sat and looked at our food for a few minutes before we could eat it.
My wife and I split nachos botanas which is our favorite at other Mexican restaurants. This dish did not compare. The onions were overpowering, the cheese was not nacho quality and weirdly there were whole green olives on the entire thing. The best way I could describe the dish was dry and full of past ripe vegetables.
Needless to say after our first trip here, we won’t back. It’s worth a few minutes longer of a drive to find decent Mexican food.

When we eat Mexican, we eat dos pecos. The Bonita is really good, tons of olives and avacado. Margarita’s are good but I’ve had better. The salsa has good flavor and pairs well with their thin super crunchy chips. We get carryout more then we eat inside and haven’t had any issues, our food is always correct and all there with lots of napkins and silverware.

Excellent Mexican food. I’ve had a few different dishes at Dos Pesos but the chicken enchiladas are superb!

This is a review I’ve been meaning to write for awhile now. One of my favorite places when I need a fix.
I’ve been thinking of this place for awhile now. To put it simply, it is fabulous! Being a creature of habit, I always order the same thing. I know I know, I like what I like, why change a beautiful thing?
Anyway moving on I get the chicken quesedillas which is really three small flour grilled tortillas stuffed with the most delicious flavorful moist chicken everrr!
Melted cheese and garnished with tomato, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. Omg it’s hella good! The rice and beans great and salsa yum. To boot each dish is garnished with jicama, a nice touch to clean the palette. Quite satisfying and never seen before as a garnishment at any restaurant before.
This place is located in beautiful downtown Belleville, and is very reasonable, with a full bar. Service has always been excellent. A visit really is in order:)

You must try the fried beef tacos with pico and cheese! The best!

Dos Pesos has been around for years and to this day, is always very busy. There’s nothing spectacular about the food or the décor, but it is consistently good food and they are always well staffed and very attentive. The portions are good and the food and drinks come rather quickly. The menu has been the same for a long time, so maybe a few new dishes might be fun. But everything is always fresh and you can depend on getting a good meal.

For the price and amount of food they give you I’m a little disappointed… How ever the food is alright with me I wish they would read their own review so they knew how to improve and if they got a bar with daily happy hour they would get all Los amigos customers

This is the worst fajitas we have ever had. Won’t be back.

I’m far from a Mexican aficionado, but the food was the bland, the service just ok, and the serving sizes were small to say the least. Usually when I go to a Mexican restaurant, there’s plenty of food for me to take home, well not here. Even my 135 lb girlfriend finished her entire meal, plus a margarita. Want salsa? $ 1. Want a little sour cream? $ 1. I’ll pass on this place.

Food is overpriced. Went there for Sunday lunch took 45mins for food to come out. There were maybe 2tables before us. Ordered steak and cheese chimichanga literally 1oz of steak rest was fluff. Halfway thru eating it i noticed the cook didn’t take the toothpick out of the chimichanga. We proceeded to tell our waitress who informed some hack about this giant toothpick I could’ve eaten. Needless to say the hack didn’t care. Didn’t apologize, didn’t say sorry about that or anything just wanted me to pay half. Never again will I spent my hard earned money on such a place that shows so much disregard for the customer and more so to its employees. Better Mexican food is out there and at a reasonable price. Unfortunately the hack at don peso thinks he is the only Mexican place in town. Ha

Dos Pesos is the sort of strip-​mall variety Mexican food in a town that doesn’t boast much south-​of-​the-​border flare that you hope and pray is delicious and authentic but falls short by simply being okay. It’s tortillas, rice, beans and your garden-​variety jack cheese. Chips are store-​bought and I’m guessing the salsa is, too.
Prices are a touch high for mediocre Mexican. Expect $ 9.00+ dollars/​entrée.
Not great, but totally passable Mexican if you just gotta have a quesadilla.

Been eating at Dos Pesos for nearly a decade. We used to live only 20 minutes away and would go every Friday night for dinner, now we live 3.5 hours away and still make the drive to Dos Pesos a few times a year just to eat there! Oh my gosh, I’m getting hungry just talking about it… LOVE the combination platter with chicken!

Dos Peso is your average Mexican Food stop. There were a few things that take it down a notch for me.
In general — when Mexican restaurants have to «water» or «dumb» it down for the Caucasian local crowds. It really bothers me. Basically — those restaurants are not «great» and certainly can’t be considered authentic. Unfortunately — the Caucasian raving about bland Mexican food is what propagates these types of establishments (not in a positive way).
Dos peso food is the bland run of the mill taste. They have a more authentic approach /​spin — no doubt; but what they gain in some more authentic menu items they lose in the bland taste. Everything seemed to run together and taste like you were just eating a pile of refried beans with some meat and cheese mixed in.
I felt the chips (with salsa) were stale and maybe had been around a while. They were not warm (like some good establishments) and just not appetizing. The salsa was average (certainly have had better).
We had the Botana as an appetizer and it probably was the best part of the meal. Had a lot of fresh ingredients (Avocado, Onion, Tomato, Olives, etc.). But, it lacked in that it did not really blend or meld together well. So you couldn’t get the full impact of all flavors and tastes as one.
I had the burrito (wet) — my wife the enchiladas. For myself — the burrito and the «gravy sauce» was a nice touch and basically score a «good but not great» rating. Over the course of eating it — it again — just sort of ran together in correlation to the beans and rice and I didn’t feel anything exemplifying about it.
My wife’s enchilada’s had a nice red sauce and may have been better (she seemed to enjoy it).
The wait staff was friendly and prompt. I have not complaints there.
But — as I was sitting there I happened to take an extended view of the restaurant and looking up at the ceiling — noticed cob webs the likes of something you see in a Halloween Scare House or your Michigan Basement Crawl Space. I think that may have ruined it for me to be honest. Anyone doubting my comment — there still there (believe me — they don’t just turn up one day like that) so go take a peek for yourself. I only imagine what might be happening back near the cook line if they can’t take care of the front.
The entire restaurant itself is really outdated and shabby looking (not to pile on). I guess — if I was a restaurant owner I think I could AT LEAST once a year do a thorough cleaning and wipe the place down. That includes ceiling cob webs.
In conclusion — and who names there restaurant «Two Pesos» /​Two Weights (The English translation for Dos Peso). Seems odd. But then again — it’s Belleville.
Well — with that — happy eating everyone!

I love this restaurant and eat here at least twice a month. I really like the salsa. I’ve enjoyed every dish I’ve ordered here. Service is average.

This is the second place I’ve come across that uses the wrong kind of cheese in their cheese enchiladas. It’s pretty much pizza cheese. It’s way too oily, salty, and thick for this type of dish, and for $ 9 I’d hope they’d put some of that profit toward quality. No lettuce, no tomatoes, and barely any enchilada sauce… It was the turkey from Christmas Vacation. Dry and borderline inedible.

Love this place! Great Mexican food. When I moved to this area I was very sad to leave my favorite Mexican place behind :(I have to say after trying this place I hate to say its so much better then my old favorite.

Love the food, in desirable downtown Belleville.

Considering this is Mexican food in Belleville, it’s pretty good. The price is a bit higher than what I spend on Mexican food, but again, being the only place in town does help. Food always comes out fast and they have always been properly staffed when I visit.

Dos Pesos is not huge food, neither is it all that spectacular a bargain. It is worth a trip though as it is amazingly fresh and tasty.
Dos Pesos has single handedly the best guacamole I have ever tasted. It is served as an appetizer on a big plate with a load of equally excellent pico de gallo and is worth the trip to this place alone. The chips are fresh and neither too oily or too salty. Mmmmm. It is definitely big enough for three or four people.
Another item I am quite hooked on here is the Quesadillas. The cheese variety are nice with their guac accent but the shrimp variety are even better. Not greasy at all. Just perfect. The Wet Burrito is a hugely popular choice, saucy and big. The Chicken Chimi was good but honestly I just can’t think past the Quesadillas. All entrees come with nice beans and rice.
The service is efficient yet not friendly and there is just not an air of fun here but it doesn’t stop my enjoyment of the food. A word of warning though, you will be nickled and dimed on anything extra here, even lettuce. That makes me a bit sad.
You do need to visit here at least once. Try the guac appetizer and some quesadillas and you will be very happy.
