My favorite mexican restaurant in the city. The fresh guacamole is made right at the table. It goes great with their fantastic yummy drinks. The outdoors is beautiful and feels ve...

We opted for the restaurant week menu. The flavors were good but I thought the grilled hanger skirt steak was rubbery and it tasted weird. We ordered hot apple cider and hot Mex...

Margarita Heaven 11/2/2006

I come here because their margaritas on the rocks are the best! Strong and delicious. You don't even notice as you gulp them down until a few minutes later when it hits you :). The guac is the best anywhere as well. Trendy scene and wonderful location. LOOOOVE this place. Pros: Tastiest Margaritas!, MMM guac more

WAY Overpriced 9/1/2006

This place is incredibly overpriced. The food is good, but $25 for some shrimp and rice, and another $22 for pork and some tortillas is ridiculous. Not to mention $12 for a SMALL portion of guacamole. The thing that really bugged me though was that the $11 margaritas got weaker with each order! It goes without saying, that's a shady practice to keep people drinking. For a great Mexican food experience, try El Bocadito in the Lower East Side - it's cheap and the food is incredible (and authentic) -- also, the service is great there. more

Nice breezes and nice service 8/3/2006

I had the ""spicy"" Guacamole (I tend to like it spicier) and it was quite good! The Skirt Steak was a very perfect medium rare as ordered. The Waiter was great about giving time to relax which is also quite nice! I want to take my Leadership team there and have to try a few of those Taquillas... 2 pages of them to choose from! WOW! Pros: Great street ambiance, people walking by, tables are close Cons: parking for those driving will be difficult more

Mild Salsa... Medium Salsa... Hot Salsa 7/25/2006

I really enjoyed Dos Caminos. I went with a group of 8. We had a reservation for 9:30, some of us weren't there yet, but they seated the rest of us anyway. Our waitress brought us appetizers and drinks while we waited for the rest of our party. She was really nice. She checked on the status of our guests periodically never being rude or impatient about it. The food was great. I had the Dos Enchiladas (I ate it all) and my friend ordered the Ribeye Steak Alambre- which was amazing. I really liked the rice that came with his meal. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. more

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT - I wouldn't recommend it. 6/2/2006

The ambiance was okay, the food was below average. I don't mind spending a lot of money if the food is amazing but my group was very disappointed. The hostess was rude, they need to get someone more friendly at the entrance. I have no idea how the 9.2 average rate came about. Pros: good parking, good for groups Cons: below avg food, unfriendly service more

Dos Cominos- Big LETDOWN 4/20/2006

Went with a group of girls and spent almost 2 hours waiting for a table. Once seated, service was slow... and plus we were starving. Mexican food... not so Mexican if you ask me. Food came cold, portions came lacking and overall not worth the time or money. more

Great food & drinks, but had very bad server 4/12/2006

This place was great, we had appetizers & main dishes. everything was great (including the white sangria). but our server took a very long time - especially when we wanted the bill!! We where tempted to look like we were walking out!!! But overall, would recommend this cool place, just not that server!! Pros: Great drinks, Summer hangout, Great food more

Nice place, once in a while 12/31/2005

I love Mexican food. With that said, I was really looking forward to Dos Caminos this week and was a bit disappointed with the food. I don't know if it can be considered authentic-the chilean sea bass had more of an italian feel to it and judging from the rest of the menu, it seems infused with many other flavors. The food overall was good, but salty and a bit greasy. The feel of the restaurant was sleek and trendy and very very tight. I was literally a foot away from the person sitting next to me!! It was too close for comfort but if you like a trendy place with good guacamole, go to DC. Just keep in mind it is not cheap for what you get. You may leave hungry. Pros: guacamole, location Cons: not a good value, not Mexican more

Very Mediocre--Not Worth the Trip 12/9/2005

Read the other user reviews--most are not so positive. I have no idea how the average overall score for this place is a 9.2.. Usually there is a trade-off when you pay high prices for so-so food (i.e. atttentive service, great atmosphere, etc). Unfortunately, this is not the case with this restuarant. Expect mediocrity all around. Pros: nice staff Cons: overpriced, very average food, small bar more

Nice place to celebrate 8/22/2005

Ate here with a friend last week and we both loved it. A little pricey, but what isn't these days? The portions were good, and the chopped salad with roasted corn, squash blossoms quesadilla, and sea bass were all heavenly. Definitely a place to eat outside. Inside was nothing to write home about, and they need more bathrooms. Great white sangria with peaches and cantaloupe. Go when the weather allows you to sit outside. more

THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE 7/20/2005

I went with a friend to celebrate my birthday. We were seated immediately. Thats where the fun came to an end. It took forever for our waitress to finally take our order, and when she did, she was rude. The $12 guacamole could have used more lime. I had the shrimp way too salty. My friend had the snapper, upon recommendations of the rude waitress, which was bland and did not look appetizing. I did not want to leave a tip that was how dissatisfied I was. I have NEVER wanted to that. Trust me spend your time and money elsewhere. Cons: Rude service, food not that great more

its amazing!! they don't lie when they say this is what they are known for. the weekend brunch is quite amazing as well - eggs with mexican food, such an interesting combination and made so well! Pros: food, area Cons: mildly expensive, service a little slow more

Too much attitude 6/10/2005

Recently went on a friend's recommendation and was quickly disappointed. We had a reservation for 3 and 2 os us arrived a few minutes early and requested to be seated to which the hostess responded all 3 of you need to be here so we can seat you. The table on the ""patio"" was near the bus station and we had to dust off the soot and debris from our plates and silverware. The server was not very friendly and seemed very pressured to put our order into the kitchen very shortlyl after we were seated. If you are looking to hang around with friends - this is not the place. Considering the prices you would think the service would be on par. Definitely will not return. Pros: nice atmosphere, great location Cons: crowded, rushed more

SoHo's Finest 5/16/2005

Wow! I went to Dos Caminos with a few coworkers for lunch. It was amazing! Great GUACAMOLE, fun drinks, excellent main courses. And to top things off - our waiter was such a doll! He looked so overwhelmed - (and trust me - he was!). There was a HUGE group of people in the restaurant, and unfortunately they were understaffed. Nonetheless, our waiter gave us prompt service and a smile every time he came over to take an order, bring us drinks, or check up on how we were doing. He was literally running around the entire time! Most people in his situation would just act rude and crabby - but he kept his composure! I am a true fan of Dos Caminos SoHo! Pros: Great Location, Excellent Food, Good Specials more

Glorious guac! 3/10/2005

I'm a native of Southern California, so I know good guacamole. This place makes the stuff better than I've had up and down the West Coast -- amazing! Make sure to share an order with at least one person, otherwise you WILL consume the entire thing; and you should save room for the awesome entrees, especially the grilled fish selections -- yum! Pros: GUACAMOLE, MARGARITAS, TACOS Cons: busy, pricy, slightly pretentious more

brutal 2/24/2005

The only thing worse than the food was the service. We were served warm beer and when we asked for cold ones the waitress acted like we were prudes. I will drink warm beer but not when they are $8 a piece. I make a point to always clean my plate, but on this occasion it could not be done. I ordered the flank steak and it was truly the most brutal steak I have ever had. When we received the bill is when the true pain began. Not to mention leaving a tip for a rude, lazy, unattractive waitress. Cons: horrible service more

There are Better Places to Go 12/12/2004

Went here for a friend's birthday--we have a group of 8, not too large. The cactus margaritas are very good, as is the guacamole, but for people who enjoy good mexican food, there are much better places in NYC. Only go here if you have more money than you know what to do with because it is very very expensive--not at all a value and nothing special. Will not go again. Pros: margaritas Cons: , food more

there are better places for dinner 11/6/2004

i went to dos caminos soho with friends. the margaritas were great! the bartenders were friendly. had an appetizer at the bar. the plantain empanadas were excellent. we sat outside and even though it was chilly we were comfortable because there were outdoor heaters. there was a lot of street noise, the street lights gave everything a weird orange glow. our waitress wasn't friendly and service was slow. i had the pork dish. was ok.. bland with too many onions. would have been nice for veggies or salad to be included with entrees. we had chocolate fondue dessert. great! seems like dos caminos is more focused on their scene and their drinks. the food wasn't really anything special considering the price. i think there are better places for dinner. stick with dos caminos for drinks (if you don't mind $12 margaritas) and appetizers. not really worth having dinner there. Pros: atmosphere, drinks, outdoor patio Cons: , slow service more
