Visitors will recognize the building. Dos Amigos occupies as the formerr site of  A&D's Barbscue. The new Mexican take-out is sparkling clean and fully redesigned with a smooth oak floor and a dozen small tables.  The two amigos are Joel Harris (top photo) and Jay McSharry. Joel worked five years at the Isles of Shoals and was a reporter at Foster's Daily when he interviewed Jay, who owns the upsclae Jumpin Jay's Fish Cafe on the other side of town. Jay also owns our Italian dinner favorite, Radici's .  Joel and Jay decided it was time to give Portsmouth the  healthy take-out it deserves.



Joel tells us he mastered the Mexian fare while working at take-out spots in Boston and Portland. He's currently adjusting to 16-hour days and the sudden rush of appreciative  downtowners and tourists on their way back from Prescott Park. When the weather cools, Joel promises new items -- a fish taxo, chilis and more. Already the healthy fare includes yogurt  instead of sour cream on request. But you can also order steak cooked in Red Hook porter. After waiting decades we can only say -- muchas gratias amigos!
