Well, people rarely post good reviews, but certainly have no problems posting negative reviews. That is just the nature of customer service. I would like to be an objective reviwer, without giving into the attitude and nastiness of some of the reviews.
Atmosphere is great. Love it. Bright, vibrant, the chairs have known Mexican actors and actresses on them. It's a cute and well decorated place.
Service was good... our server knew the menu, made some great suggestions, and we ordered. The drinks are delicious. My wife got a Coconut mojito and I got a Margarita. Both were great and tasty. No problems here.
Food.....this seems to be the challenge for all reviwers. We got the same nachos with the green spicy salsa..OMG. that was fresh, no doubt about it. It was better than other Mexican restaurants that I visited. I am not going to complain that it came in a little to-go style cup. It's not a bad thing. Better to service a little, than give mire and have it thrown away.
My carnita tacos were excellent. Lots of taste, seasoned the way I like. I ordered a side of refried beans. My wife ordered an enchilada, that also had refried beans. Well now, my beans on their separate container, just looked oily and runny. There were hot in temp, and could have been hotter in temp, but... I kept looking at my wife's. The taste and texture were different between the two styles of beans. I did send them back, but only to get a different batch. My replacement order was not the same, it was better, and the temp was much better as well.
I caught a pricing error on the bill, which they corrected immediately.
So, would I go back to this place? Yes. Are there competiting restaurants nearby? Absolutely, everyone had a choice. But, I seem to read the reviews, and it appears that the restaurant was too new.in the beginning, and scathing reviews just pulled down their review average.
Go in and try. It definitely at a 4 star, so help to review and improve their review...
Read moreLast night I walked in not realizing the restaurant was about to close. However, the staff was all happy to help me if I wanted to dine in or take out. To be courteous, I did takeout. The staff was very nice helping me to decide which item of my favorites to try at their restaurant. Not only that, but when I took the food to go, I had so many requests about different salsas and cheeses. I wanted to try and they were kind enough to separate them all into different containers which I know cost them money and time but they wanted my meal to taste fresh so they told me exactly how to assemble it for the best taste and they were absolutely right. I got the pork chimichangas and all I can say is that I will be back hopefully many times because the food was delicious and the portion was big enough for two meals. Some of the prices seemed higher than competitors but I think they were fair given how much food they provided me with. Very importantly, the restaurant was very clean, well decorated and had a full bar. Unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to try the margarita even though they did offer it to me. I was driving and didn't want to drink and drive. From the outside, you might not expect a lot, especially if you're not from Florida because it is nestled away your typical Florida strip mall. I highly encourage you to try the food here because service was outstanding. Food was outstanding, plenty of parking, Good vibes! Also very convenient for many vacationers, so if you're on vacation, I think you'll find this to be one of the better Mexican restaurants...

Gather 'round, fellow diners, for I have a tale of horror to share—a tale of Dos Panza, the black hole of dining experiences. Strap in, because this rollercoaster of disgust will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.
Picture this: I enter Dos Panza, hopeful for a taste of Mexican delight, only to be met with a 20-minute wait. Fair enough, right? Wrong. The waiter, too busy texting to care about basic manners, has the nerve to tell me to stop being "impatient." Meanwhile, the scene around me resembles a scene from a horror movie—gum stuck to the seats, a foul stench emanating from the unchanged garbage, and a table so sticky it could double as flypaper.
But wait, it gets worse. As I attempt to choke down the stale, fridge-cold chips and salsa, I notice movement out of the corner of my eye—a three-inch roach scuttling across the floor. I'm simultaneously horrified and mesmerized, wondering if this is some sick form of entertainment they offer their diners.
And just when I think it can't possibly get any worse, I take a bite of the chimichanga—only to discover it's devoid of meat and adorned with ketchup and mustard. As if the culinary crimes weren't enough, the bill arrives, accompanied by a mandatory 25% tip for the privilege of being treated like garbage.
Listen up, Florida: Dos Panza isn't just the worst Mexican joint in town—it's a veritable hellhole of despair. Spare yourself the agony and dine elsewhere, lest you too become a character in this twisted tale of culinary...
