Dos Padres

The California burrito (beef and french fries??) is very good, everything else I've had, including their chips and salsa, is incredibly mediocre. One of the few places in Fairhaven to just get a beer though.

We had to wait a few minutes for someone to find us at the door, but the service was very friendly otherwise. Our server reminder me of a character from a Jack Black movie. Food was tasty. Lots of corn options for GF. Mondo margarita was definitely mondo!

I've been going to Dos Padres for years.. Seriously my whole life.. I am appalled by some of the reviews. I completely disagree. It's not your typical mexican restaurant, say Mi Mexico, or Jalapenos, but personally it's a lot better. The food is quality, and the atmosphere is desirable compared to other Mexican restaurants in town. And if not getting served crappy rice and beans with your entree is a turn off, that may be a good thing. I think the reviews for this restaurant are based on the opinions of people who don't care about the quality of their food. Its tasty, healthy, portions are good, salsa is the best, nachos are the best, fish tacos are the best-in-town-period.

Let me end on this question.. Would a 3 star restaurant be in business as long as they have if they were really just a 3 star restaurant in this economy? I don't think so... I'm not going to say that it's the best food in the world, or that the service is incredible every time.. But seeing such a poor rating for a wonderful locally owned business that has never been disappointing is enough to get me to write a review.
