      Great food here! I've been coming here for years. They serve great enchiladas - all flavors. You can't beat the taco salad, and the Nachos! They are so tasty.

      The food is good. I dont know if they changed cooks because the last time I went to eat there it was not the same.

      Neighborhood restaurant. Not pretentious but the service and food is excellent. Lunch menu is really inexpensive for a quick bite.

      I think this place is delicious and asked my friends if they felt that this was authentic Mexican food and when one of them told me that it tasted like their mom's, I was sold. Great food and very nice people...and I believe that they make their Horchata from scratch!

      They have the best chilaquiles, coffee, and home made flour tortillas. Love, love their green tomatillo salsa. Service is great, everyone is super friendly.

      Let me start out by saying I really liked the food and the service at this place and I will definitely come back here and eat again.

      This place is nestled on the corner on the downtown Mesquite Square. It is unassuming on the outside and even moreso on the inside. Don't expect fancy, because it is anything but fancy. It is old, it is dated, and oddly it has a lot of tropical plants on either side when you walk in, taking up a lot of dining room space, and if you walk back to the restrooms you will wonder where you are and why you came here. But, don't let that scare you off, the food is delicious and the service is fantastic.

      Enjoy the place for what it is, a great hole in the wall kinda of place to get some delicious food!

      Food was very good, hot and fresh. Tomatillo on my chicken enchiladas was super! Definitely go here again when we are in Mesquite.

      $40 FOR TWO, bland fajitas, bland rice, bland beans, almost sweet and no kick salsa, bland 'barely qualified as' queso, bland guacamole and watered-down tea. My wife had lemon in her tea and it had more flavor than just regular tea. It was almost as if she was drinking a very thinned out lemonade. She did say that she enjoyed her tamale, not hard to screw those up because you can buy them off the shelf at any store in the freezer section and they taste good, she has had better from a can.

      Another major letdown was the salsa, I swear it was almost sweet like someone had put way too much sugar in it. You could not taste anything in it really. I could not taste cilantro, I could not taste the Tomato, couldn't even taste the onion! We had to ask for something hotter which they brought out some more which added a little bit of spice to it and the queso. It also helped the salsa. Otherwise they were just playing off the shelves out of a can Bland and Horrid to the palate.

      We wound up leaving more than half the food there, and I just left the money on the table. I will not go back, the food was worse than my ex-wife's Micro-Wave cooking. As a matter of, I wonder if she was cooking in the kitchen?

      The fajitas were a total bust. Not even seasoned properly. It was like someone just sliced up some beef, tossed it in a oiled skillet and dumped it in the place with precooked and room temp Onion and Bells. I couldn't even finish it, it was so bland and bad.

      We left there, went to Tom Thumb and grabbed a couple of those El Fenix TV Dinners, those had more flavor than the food at Dos Panchas.

      No plans on going back, I can't abide bland Mexican food. I was raised in a booth as El Chico in Old Fort Worth Seminary South. I cut my teeth on Jalapeno's and Hand Made Enchilada's, and Salsa and guacamole made by the Cuellar's themselves. Wanna talk about an honor. And that was back when El Chico's made real, scratch foods, LOL.

      Great spot in downtown Mesquite with a variety of items for everyone's liking. Stopped by with a party of over 10 and we were seated promptly and served quickly, food was hot when it came to the table! From flautas to enchiladas, everything was yummy.
      Prices are great! Stop by you won't regret it.
