Yelp.com Review - by Julian M.

1.0 of 5 stars. Hey you were there? Good for you. Not Authentic, not fusion, not Nuevo-Mexican; the offerings are over-priced, over-salted, and only touted by those patrons who like to be seen there. I allowed this...

Yelp.com Review - by Kevin S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Yeah, the food isn't all that, but it's probably one of the few "cool" places to go in Des Moines for a drink and a bite.After a handful of visits, I'd say you can't go wrong with a molcajete of the...

Yelp.com Review - by Stacy B.

2.0 of 5 stars. Okay, the atmosphere and decor are swanky and more upscale than your usual Des Moines joint. The outdoor patio is a fun spot to sip tequila and guzzle cold beer. The chips and guac are the only food...

3.0 of 5 stars. Not bad! Our service was very good. Having spent several hours outdoors on a hot Saturday morning/afternoon, I was in need of hydration. My drink of choice: Diet Coke, of course! What else could...

3.0 of 5 stars. Fun Mexican joint, with a nice sized patio on the street. The hongo (mushroom) tacos were delicious and the cilantro rice was a nice touch. The flavored margaritas were too sweet, but after I...

1.0 of 5 stars. I was absolutely not impressed.Couch this review in a context that includes me living in Chicago and paying under $10 for *real* Mexican food (like made and served by Mexicans who speak Spanish to...

Yelp.com Review - by Meghan B.

2.0 of 5 stars. Good salsas (for five bucks) and guac (for eight). I suppose the good things I have to say start and end there.Awful vegetarian options, awful service (maybe she was new, but still...), awful prices,...

5.0 of 5 stars. Best mexican style food I have had. Loved the fish and shrimp tacos. Normally do not like guacamole, but the freshly made here was great and was perfect that could order a half order! Tried both...

Yelp.com Review - by Roz S.

3.0 of 5 stars. I'm torn on Dos Rios. I really, really wanted to love it, but the experience wasn't exceptional. The food was definitely enjoyable, but not a good value. For example, I ordered the gulf shrimp...

Yelp.com Review - by Nathan B.

3.0 of 5 stars. I feel bad that I have to rate this only three stars because I really want it to succeed--it's unique in the Des Moines metro area and is a cool place to hang out. That said, it's overpriced for...

Yelp.com Review - by Jeff Y.

3.0 of 5 stars. Let me start of by saying I've only eaten here for lunch and a private party in the back room. The one time I visited during lunch we decided to sit outdoors. We both ordered their lunch taco...

3.0 of 5 stars. I'm pretty torn on Dos Rios.One on hand, it has so many great things going for it. Terrific location and swanky decor, fantastic tableside guacamole, and an inventive and unusual Latin menu. Great...

Yelp.com Review - by Matthew A.

4.0 of 5 stars. Excellent gourmet Mexican Restaurant. Don't go thinking your going to get a good burrito or Chimi. This is very swanky and modern. Food and drink were great. Homemade guac is fantastic. I will most...

3.0 of 5 stars. Good. Service can suck though. Avoid the patio unless you have a lot of time to kill.

4.0 of 5 stars. When I travel to Des Moines on business, I either eat at Dos Rios or Centro.I would not call Dos Rios a Mexican restaurant. The flavor is definitely Latin and very contemporary.They custom blend an...

Yelp.com Review - by Justin B.

4.0 of 5 stars. I am glad Dos Rios is adding to the Des Moines night life. They certainly went all out on the interior design of this restaurant, and it is quite appealing. Keep in mind this is NOT an American...

2.0 of 5 stars. You are paying for the ambiance not the food or the service. I will say that the margaritas are nice they do know their tequila. Using fresh squeezed juices goes a long way. I am not really that...

3.0 of 5 stars. The food at Dos Rios is most excellent. The server we had last Thursday evening was the worst of the worst. We waited 20 minutes to get a second round of beer (after ordering them) and 30 minutes...

Yelp.com Review - by Andrea B.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you come to Dos Rios you have to get the homemade Guac, it is the best I have ever had! The rest of the menu is pretty good to, but a little more than I expected to pay. I did love the true Spanish...
