Two Amigos

Overall I feel like I had a great experience. Our waitress was very accommodating and super nice. The food was exceptional. Don’t judge a book by its cover. When I first walked in I negatively judged but I was pleasantly surprised. We were very pleased with our service & food. We will be returning.

After a failed excursion to JB’s Barbecue (either they disappeared in the last two months or closed early and turned all their lights off), I was desperately hungry and just wanted to eat at the first place I found. This one had a lot of cars in the lot, so I figured okay, let me get some authentic Tex-​Mex in Texas (since it’s not authentic anywhere else). Sure enough, that’s what you get here. Mexican ingredients, Texas flavor, not a hint of Mexican-​ness to it so just know what you’re getting into.
Service: Starting with this. Service was attentive but I got the distinct impression my waitress was unhappy serving me. I think she figured I was a one-​person table ordering one meal, so she would get a relatively small tip for her time spent. I understand that, but a good waitress would make you feel special even as one person. I’ve really never gotten this impression from waitstaff before, so I have to pin it on her. Everyone else was really friendly. I didn’t get her name, because this was just an impression.
Food: Everything tasted like Americanized Mexican. It’s all very reasonably priced. I ordered the quail, which takes 20+ minutes to prepare. It came out deliciously seasoned with a fajita-​like presentation — sizzling with peppers and onions on a mini frying pan, multiple tortillas, rice, beans, pico, guac. I pulled off enough meat for two fajitas, ate the third one as veg, and spent 15 minutes picking meat off tiny bones. Very well seasoned meat. Superb. Unique. Definitely glad my waitress recommended it to me. But not for everyone. I finished the meal with sopapillas, which were also Americanized — fried doughy-​tortillaey wedges drizzled with cinnamon, sugar, and caramel sauce.
If I came here expecting Mexican, I’d have also given a one or two star review. But I knew what I was getting into and decided to make the best of it. With that in mind, you’ll find some great Tex-​Mex here.

I have finally found a great Mexican place in Orange TX. I tried La Cantina and was so disappointed I knew I had to keep looking and after a couple weeks, I’m new here, I found just what I was looking for at Two Amigos. The food is amazing! I used my usual salsa litmus test (if the salsa is fresh and tastes great the food will be equally good) and after one bite of the chips and salsa I new I was in for a treat. I am working in the area for the next few months so I need a place to grab some quality food after a long day and this place is it. The service has been a little over bearing at times, but I guess that’s better than being neglected. It is an art to know what your guests need and what will annoy them. Coming over ever 2 minutes to see if I need anything and asking how the food is, that’s a little too much. If I run out of something refill it and let’s leave it at that. Other than that small issue with the service this place is where I will be dining for my time in Orange. Margaritas are great, chips and salsa are great, food is out of this world. For all that I can deal with an annoying server.

Food was not that great… I ordered the chicken mole and they used the wrong type of chicken, maybe it’s because I know authentic Mexican food. The beans and rice were ok. The waitress must have had too many tables because she wasn’t very attentive, I even overheard someone telling her to go tend to her table and she responded with «I didn’t even know that was my table.» And then laughed. We definitely won’t be going back.

Salsa wad amazing! Each person got their own bowl. Chips thin and crisp! Food was great and the service was excellent ! We had cheese enchiladas and Monterrey plate both were very good. Tea glass was always full. Nice place

Service was terrible. Food was not to bad for your standard Tex-​Mex restaurant. The Rita’s were tasty. Gets crowded fast because inside is small. Like the one holer bathrooms.

The food was beyond excellent, the service was a little lackluster, however. To be fair it was 3 p.m. on a Wednesday during a soccer game. The Amigo Combination plate was great, the salsa and queso were fantastic. This place deserves all four stars.

I haven’t had anything bad at this place! Great flautas, tacos, enchiladas and tamales! The owners Mainard and Alfonzo really take care of their guests.

Awesome food. Salsa was very fresh. Being vegetarian we got pretty much good food. Friendly staff. Food was hot and made to order.

Yum!!! Chimchanga was great!!! Had a bite of shrimp quesadilla it was fantastic and next time I’ll have beef chipotle fajatas the beef is to die for!!!

Finally a Mexican restaurant that lives up to my expectations! Since moving to Texas I have not been able to find really good Mexican, and it’s been so frustrating! Now I know where to go. The service is excellent. The staff is very friendly and after visiting just a couple of times they remember your face. The food is excellent and always comes out fast. I’ve tried something different every time I’ve been and have like everything I’ve tried. The California Burrito is delicious and by far my favorite item on the menu. The biggest plus is the blackberry margaritas. They are fantastic!

2 amigos, more like 2 good 2 be true!
No, but really, decent Mexican food for off the interstate with a great price. 2 giant drinks and 2 large meals for $ 33. A friendly hostess greeted us at the door and immediately sat us. We were in and out within an hour. Overall good experience for a quick alternative to fast food on a road trip.

Waited, no exaggeration, 40 minutes… to receive cold food. I ran out of my first glass of water, gave plenty of opportunity & looks of desperation only to no avail. & both my cousin & her husband got sick after eating the food… Need I say more?
After this experience, I discovered word on the street (supposedly from the mouth of a former employee) is that they allegedly re-​use the hot sauce; as in, if customers have hot sauce left over after they leave they’ll dump the used hot sauce back in with the rest of the sauce to reuse on the next customers…
