   Service is friendly and efficient. Portions are generous. Try the Guacamole, it was fresh and delicious. The Shrimp dish is excellent but plantanes were a little overcooked (for my taste but that may be that's how they should be). The Chicken Enchilada is worth trying. Coffee was superior. Nice dinner out in Media

   I had heard good things about this restaurant and was not disappointed! We went on Valentine's Day - my wife ordered chicken mole from the regular menu while I had the short ribs from the special Valentine's Day menu and both were great! Appetizers (homemade guacamole) and desserts (heart shaped brownies and plantain cheesecake) were outstanding! Service was well-timed and very friendly, like being invited into a friend's kitchen. We'll definitely come back!

   My wife and I decided to try a new place in the area and settled on Dos Gringos. When we arrived we were very surprised at how small the space is. We had an 8pm reservation and still waited 15 minutes to get seated. That we didn't mind because the food was excellent! Very fresh and well prepared. The service was great and the Valentines Day menu was well priced. Overall great food and small space but would go back. Wouldn't recommend going with a large group.

   Too cramped. Too cold (our seat was by the door). Fajitas not served on sizzling pan. Food was okay but have had better and more affordable.

   The restaurant is very small, so I definitely recommend a reservation. But my friends and I really liked the food and the style of this place. We all really enjoyed the salsas they brought out, and out entrees were all fantastic. The Margarita mixes were probably too expensive for what they were, but, whatever. They were delicious and it was a special occasion. Our server was really good too, attentive but not overbearing. I will definitely go back, and I recommend it!

   Dos Gringos has awesome food. I've never had a bad meal here. It's definitely my go-to spot for Mexican food in Media.

    There is a lot to like about this tiny BYOB on Olive Street. The food is always interesting, the presentation so inviting. Our server was great. On other hand, I feel cramped in a restaurant usually only when there are so many empty tables, which happened to be the case after 3 of us were getting seated at a table for 2.5, presumably because the tables for 4 were all booked (only to see party of 3 at a larger table half an hour later). There should be some advantage to early open table reservation. We will be back for dining under the stars, this is a top spot!
