Places Like Los Dos Amigos Are Disappearing On Washington

Los Dos Amigos is one of my family's favorite spots. We hope they stay around for a long time..

Armando's wife said this is her favorite little "dump"? It's not a dump, lady. It's a family run business run by a very nice family. It may be a "dump" to you, but it's like home to me. It's like eating at my favorite aunts house. Rosie always makes you feel welcome and loved. I think you would be offended if someone referred to your husband's restaurant as a "dump". I know you like going to Dos Amigos and I certainly hope the reporter took your comment out of context. If not, you owe the Cantus an apology.

Moved into the neighborhood just a walk across the street from Los Dos Amigos eight years ago and on a lark gave it a try for a Saturday breakfast. The Americanos Abuelos were there and they do enjoy the morning.

Great place and enjoyed seeing a review. It's an icon on the street and should become a local hangout for breakfast. Why? It's where the Houston Police Dept. eat breakfast every morning. Now that is a red flag for the best Mexican breakfast in town!

Robb: I'm one of those many people who hated to see Felix go. I was born in Beaumont, ate there with my parents until we moved to Liberty in 1956. Every shopping trip back to Beaumont was an excuse to eat at Felix. In the mid '60s I was in Beaumont again in college. So Felix defined TexMex as far as I and my family were concerned. Since college I have resided in Galveston Co., so didn't get over to Felix in Houston as often as I would've liked. I'm really regretting not going one more time before they closed. Should've known they would not last after Marvin's death. Boy, do I ever miss their signature chili con queso!
But did you know Larry's in Richmond has the same receipe? And their plate dinners are identical as well. He used to work at Felix in Beaumont (probably about the time I used to visit as a little kid).
Also want to give you a heads-up on two of my favorite TexMex mom-and-pop joints. El Ranchero on Main St., LaPorte serves the same dish you just described (on Washington Ave.)----2 eggs served atop the BEST beef enchiladas, sided by the BEST rice and beans anywhere that I've been able to find. Rice is garlicky and beans have that sheen that only lard can provide.
Then for breakfast tacos and silky, thick, very hot green sauce, it's Fiesta Tacos 1/2 block off Mangum on 34th. Before I retired I used to eat breakfast there several times a week. John and his Mom own this neighborhood place which has a loyal following of regulars who live or work nearby.
I enjoy your reviews and rely on your recommendations.

Ate there yesterday and had the cheese enchiladas with fried egg. Was pretty good but the service there was HORRIBLE. Waitress seemed put out whenever we wanted water or coffee refills and avoided making eye contact whenever possible when something was needed.
