dos senoritas

very average.... we are big fans of a mexican restaurant a bit further down victoria rd but we had heard good things about dos senoritas and decided to give it a go; we really really wanted to enjoy it but unfortunately it was a huge let down. the place is super cramped, we stood in the middle of the place waiting for a waitress to take another table's orders before we could even get past her to our table, waited 20mins for our drinks orders to be taken (which arrived 30 mins later after the entree and mains had been served) and we had reminded them three times about them. the food was huge but not great, more quantity than quality we thought. after we had finished eating we sat with our food in front of us for about 30 mins before we had to ask for the plates to be cleared and get the bill. the margaritas have nothing on the ones down the road, they tasted like tequila mixed with water (yuk!), the waitresses were rushing around the place with no real organisation and kept bumping thebackof our chairs as it was so cramped. all in all an ok tasting meal but not a pleasant, fun or relaxing experience - for $35 a head we expected much more. we'll stick to the mexican down the road!

wanted a tasty lunch, and i sure got it. popped in to pick up some take away, ordered the shrimp salad-huge portion, will be eating it for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast! it's not cheap, but well worth it. authentic mexican flavours and a friendly atmosphere, will bebackwith a group of friends really soon.

the last time i came here when they were still at their old location, i did not really enjoy it and i was a little unsure why they had such glowing reviews. i was somewhat underwhelmed at all the food. fast forward to now, when i visited them at their new location, i felt i needed to gobackonline and edit my review to reflect my new experience.

their new location is much better. spacious and full of life, with a fun atmosphere especially when they have live music playing.

portions are great for sharing and full of ingredients and flavour. the complimentary corn chips and salsa is appreciated and love ordering the guacamole to go with it. can't go wrong with corn chips and fresh dips.

authentic flavours, freshly balanced ingredients and comforting ambience
very large portions to share (we ended up taking some home)
food and drinks came out really quickly (within 10 mins of ordering) although we did visit on a tuesday night
didn’t get to try any desserts but will definitely comebackto do exactly that! :)

i have been a long term customer of dos senoritas. i remember when they were located in this little restaurant on victoria rd in gladesville. they're now around the corner in a much bigger location. matt and i dine early so we easily get a table. . if you head to dos senoritas from 6:30 or 7 onwards on a weekend it can get very busy and it will be hard to get a table. i sit in thebackarea where it's an outdoor area with heaters although i can see a make-shift shelter. i like all the art work on the walls.

i love the vibe at this place. as soon as you walk through the door past the table of sombreros it feels like a party. it has a small cafe style dining then an extended area out thebackwith a metal roof and windows like you are inside a zoo. the food is fantastic here, i really like it. feels as authentic as you can get in gladesville/sydney. comes along with the cost though. the service is not the best, i’ve had a lot of mixed orders, misunderstanding, missed orders.

tasty authentic tacos and lovely service. drinks and desserts were yum, unique and true to mexican couisine. huge portions as well ended up having take aways because we were all full. will comebackagain 😊

very disappointing. we were waiting for more than 15 minutes to order drinks and food. in the meantime one staff was cleaning the menus, staring blankly at us while three other staff members had a lovely chat behind the bar.
how ever the food was in less than 5 minutes at our table, which is a bit concerning and one starts to wonder.
we ordered the shrimp salad which turned out to be 4 prawns swimming in a hot tomato sauce spiced with something spicy. no sign of onions, coriander or lime.
and since when gets ceviche served hot anyway? surrounded was that sad looking bowl with a load of stale tacos.
the main were fajitas. rice, three shredded leaves of some salad, a table spoon of blandbackbeans, cocked and not fried chicken and beef bits, some guacamole and a heap of sour cream were heaved on a plate, the presentation was shocking.
no flavours whatsoever. again, no coriander or lime - both are the essentials to every mexican dish.
we got more stale tacos though.
to drink i had a michelada, beer with lime juice, since there were no trace of lime to be seen i think it was lemon which is fine but it would have been nice if it would have been served on ice and with more than 3 grains of salt on the rim of the glass - as you get it in mexico.
there was truly not much mexican in that restaurant if you don’t count the sombreros on the wall.

huge portions of food. i went with a group of 8 people and no one could finish their meal. the beef in the burrito i had was too salty though. otherwise the it was not too bad.

the service was subpar. admittedly, the place was packed, but it was hard to get their attention to even order our food. the ambience was very loud at this place. can't hear conversation even at your own table.

i might gobackbut only takeaway.

dis senioritas is a lifesaver. after spending 5 months in the usa it was depressing comingbackto australia and thinking i had said goodbye to my last american-mexican food. this isn't the kind of mexican you really find in mexico but it's the kind of food you find mexicans cooking and eating in the usa, not because the flavours aren't right, dos senioritas has those down, simply because you get a truly americanised portion size which is fine by me. they have lost a little of the original charm from the old location but they make up for it with their ability to accomodate bigger groups.

moved here from america a couple years ago and have been looking for the best mexican restaurant that reminds me ofbackhome. found it!!!! bold flavor and super tender meat. expensive but worth it. they give you huge portions and had to take most of it home.

it's a small restaurant you wouldn't think makes much business on a busy road surrounded by lighting stores and petrol stations. but stand outside and you'll see it's filled to the brim with customers and bustling noise.

this was my first mexican experience in sydney! having tried the popular mamasita in melbourne (2 hour wait), i thought this place would be similar quality- ie not that great. boy was i wrong! portions were huuuge, and the guacamole and salsa was heaps fresh and interesting. the beef avocado dip with tortilla chips was by far my favourite as an entre.

for mains we had the supercheeseygooeysomething which was essentially a deep fried burrito, which was pretty insane. but flavour wise the fajitas with beef and chicken won the mains medal. both the beef and chicken were tasteful and juicy, perfect combo with tortillas and the rice, cream and avocado. by this time we were ready to spew from the fullness!

after this, we had dessert of churros which was the least impressive of the day. it was packed with cinnamon and cheap chocolate sauce drizzled over the top. while not the best, i didn't come to this place to try their churros so i didn't mind!

service was friendly, owner was as well :). although the only thing was they forgot to provide cups with our water (although they fixed this up 10m later when they came to take our order). it was a busy saturday night with a bday party of 20 so fair enough. they also didn't have knowledge of our voucher so didn't tell us what we could and couldn't order until later when we asked about the mains. but again, keep in mind it's a very busy restaurant, and the awesome food and this won't throw you off in the least.

atmosphere definitely wasn't lacking, but it was a little bit deafening! everyone seemed to be speaking loudly over one another and the closed in rooms didn't help lower the volume.

definitely will comebackagain as a full paying customer but will order less dishes this time :).

thank you for the awesome dinner!

i will never comebackhere - can't even comment on the food because i didn't get a chance to taste it! booked a table for two to get there and find out they were double booked. we were given no explanation and the girl couldn't even estimate how long we would have to wait. the service at this place is laughable and when we asked to speak to the manager he showed a clear lack of interest in further explaining what was going on. sort your service out! don't bother booking, clearly it doesn't make a difference. we went to pepino's down the road and we're treated to a far better experience.

amazing!. i've been coming here for over 2 years now, and just when i think dos senoritas can't get any better, it does. the food just tastes absolutely sensational, and there are menu items there that you won't find anywhere else in sydney. if you are looking for your run-of-the-mill burrito or taco from mad-mex, well, this isn't the place for you. but if you want a real authentic mexican experience with real mexican culture and warmth and hospitality, this is where you must go.

the prices are very fair, the staff are extremely friendly and the head chef, domingo medina, loves to come out (when he isn't too busy) and socialise with the customers. he's a lovely guy and i've even sat and knockedbacka few tequilas with him over a quiet lunch! some of the drinks here are very delicious; the horchata, for example, is one of my particular favourites; a cinnamon/vanilla sweetened rice drink that goes down very smoothly to balance out the heat of mexican spices. if vanilla and cinnamon are your thing, you'll most likely find yourself ordering at least 3 by the end of your day!

where ever you come from in sydney, i strongly recommend trying dos senoritas at least once. i can't say it is for everyone, as true authentic mexican is an acquired taste, but if exciting flavours and great hospitality are your thing, give this place a go!

fantastic. the mexican food is great - big serves. byo beer and wine and friendly staff!

will be goignbackagain!!!
