Los Dos Amigos

I love this place! There were times in high school when I was here multiple times a week. I’ve been here SO much over the years. Sadly, the last few times I have returned it has not been as great as it used to be. Or rather it has just been very inconsistent. Some days it is great and other days it smells like a bathroom (I don’t want to know why that happened, I hope it was an isolated incident).
What I can say is that the staff has always been so nice. There has especially been a female server that has been there for years who is so so nice.

We are regulars here. Switched from another local place just due to service. The food here is great! I have never had a bad experience with the food or staff.
It’s a basic tiny little hole in the wall Mexican place.
Live music from time to time. Spicy salsa upon request.
They will create something for you, too.
I love this little place.
Don’t let the store front look fool you. This is good stuff right here!

Love this place! Great, authentic Mexican food and great service. We’ve tried all the Mexican restaurants around (including Lexington) and this is my favorite and my entire family’s favorite!

Pleasantly surprising. Los Dos Amigos registers on the cultural authenticity scale roughly where your local Chinese take-​out place might. Basic staples of Mexican cuisine like corn tortillas are sadly missing from the menu, but I can’t fault the restaurant because there probably isn’t much demand for it. (Insert sad face.)
That said, Los Dos Amigos displayed flashes of quality in unexpected places. The rice was seasoned and cooked properly and the refried beans were creamy and refined – a sure sign that somebody in the kitchen knows what they’re doing and is willing to put in the work to do it right. Carnitas here are roasted cubes of seasoned pork butt (not what I expected), but are delectably soft and fork-​tender. The fajitas may have been a touch over-​seasoned, but good enough for the genre.
One strong note in Los Dos Amigos’ favor: free salsa and chips, and decent portions of guacamole accompany entrees. Many other places would charge you an extra $ 2.50 for that dollop of green goodness.
Don’t let the 3-​star rating throw you, since I grade on a bell-​curve and most restaurants of this kind register as a 2.5 or lower. If you’re angling for Nicholasville Mexican, Los Dos Amigos is your jam.

It was difficult to find at first because we’re not terribly familiar with Nicholasville and the map in Unilocal had it marked in a totally different spot. But I think I corrected that. Anyway, the food was good. I had a combination that included a burrito and enchilada. I did chicken burrito w/​cheese enchilada. It was quite tasty. My husband had fajitas, which he said were a little overcooked for his taste (it looked like a big mess of caramelized onions) but he said they weren’t bad. He would have preferred they weren’t cooked so much. But kudos to this place for being one of the few places we found open on the Monday of the huge snow storm. It was good.

The Kentucky fajitas were fantastic. Highly recommended. Atmosphere was consistent with a mom/​pop Mexican restaurant and the salsa was excellent. Good and friendly service. Need to frequent this place more often.

Burrito Mexicano was great. How they prepare pork is what makes this dish. The salsa was fresh. Service was good. Cannot understand why more folks don’t frequent this place.

What a gem for a bunch of college students in a small town.
This place may not look the best, but the food here tastes really good. Although, I’ve never actually been to a Mexican restaurant that was terrible.
A group of us went here on a Friday night. There was a country/​blues band playing. It added to the quirkiness of the place.
If you’re in the Nicholasville area, and want tasty Mexican at a decently low price, then come to Los Dos!

Love the old guys playing country music while I eat my Mexican food.
Way better than eating Mexican food WITHOUT listening to country music.
Such Mexican. Much food. Wow.

This place is DOPE! The food is hella good. Two stars way way up!
Great service! Been here lots of times!
Nom nom nom!

Great Tex-​Mex here. Friday night is fun with live music and the staff is really great
