The votes are in, and Dos Reales is the place to go when you need your fix of Mexican food. With two locations, one on North Prospect and one closer to campus on University Ave, Dos Reales makes it convenient to get great Mexican. Whether it’s tacos, enchiladas, fajitas or one of their other tasty dishes like “the Acapulco” (a specialty fajita) that you’re craving, most entrees will only cost you about $8. Add with the free chips and chunky salsa that’s served when you sit down, Dos Reales is an automatic great deal! They also have a large selection of drinks to choose from.
“Lately I’ve been appreciating their strawberry margaritas,” said Dan Hedin, 21, a longtime frequenter of the restaurant. “The service is also really, really, really fast,” he said.
So for the best Mexican food in CU, with great service and prices to boot, Dos Reales is the place to go.

Dos is great, but the *BEST* Mexican restaurant in C-U is "Margaritas" on Philo in Urbana. Trust me on this!
