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...

Thanks for a Great Meal 9/17/2004

Finally great Mexican food in New York! Creative and authentic at the same time...the ribeye steak is amazing!! Great service and ambience too, not a better spot for people watching anywhere. Be sure to try the Prickly Pear cactus margarita! Pros: Food, People watching more

Waste of time & money 9/13/2004

Probably the worst service I ever experienced in this city. We should have walked out when the host forgot to seat us while waiting right behind him at the bar drinnking the watered-down sangria. It took the waiter 20 minutes to come over to the table take our order, and nevers brings us our appetizer. Our food was cold (not to mention mediocre at best), and the complimentary drinks that are part of the meal were added to our check along with the appeziter that we never got. Pros: outdoor seating more

Wonderful Food! Fantastic Service! 8/19/2004

I will make Dos Caminos SoHo a place I dine for years to come. I have been a couple times this summer and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. The food tasted fresh, and the server gave us wonderful suggestions. She recommended the Tuna and Seabass which were both very tasty. The guacamole is not to be missed, and the service is by far some of the best in soho, not to mention manhattan. Although the restaurant was full, she took the time to answer our questions about their extensive teqila list, never rushed us, and at the end of the meal took the time to talk about some of the other BR Guest restaurants that my friends from out of town were interested in going to. It was refreshing to see such a young energetic and knowledgable staff in SoHo. Run to Dos Caminos SoHo-NOW!! Pros: Service, food, cocktails/tequila more

Food is amazing 8/16/2004

I went to Dos Caminos for my birthday with a small group and the food was much better than I expected. The swordfish was delicious and the spiced up guacomole was very tasty. The drinks here are also really good-I had a couple of frozen daquiris that tasted great and got me pretty tipsy. Overall, a nice dining experience and highly reccomended. Pros: Food, Drinks, Service more

Muchas Gracias 6/29/2004

Fantastic evening. The food was great, the guac is not to be believed simply perfect and the chips are standard good fare. My wife loved her Pork Chop special and the Swordfish with gingered sweet potatoes was very upscale. Desserts were excellent Key Lime Creme Brulee and Warm Banana Crepes! Server was excellent but was bogged down with a large party with a demanding hostess, people kept arriving late, later and still arriving while others were eating. Totally unfair and should not disrupt their regular service to other customers. Pros: Atmosphere, Food more

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy 5/20/2004

A dependable stand-by, this place offers good, clean, fresh food, but is hardly authentic. The Mexican Creme Brule has the consistency of cottage cheese. However, the spicy guacamole made right at your table, prickly pear margarita, extensive tequila list, and mariscos tacos are all excellent options! The Soho staff needs service tips from the Park Ave. location. Pros: Guac, Atmosphere, Margs more

The total package! 11/10/2003

Dos Caminos was an incredible eating experience. A large group of us stumbled upon DC and stopped for ""Sunday brunch"". Not only was the guac the best any of us had had, but the specialty brunch meals came with a great choice of complimentary drinks! We highly recommend the prickly pear margarita and the chicken quesadillas (LOTS of marinated chicken). Our server was a doll... and the atmosphere very ""soho."" Highly recommend it. more

Pretty Decent for NYC Mexican 10/8/2003

I originally reviewed this place and gave it a five. I've been several times since, and had better experiences. The menu has changed, the crowd seems better, and the service is pretty good. Maybe they were working out the kinks. In my opinion, it is one the the best mexican places in the city second to Rosa's (distant second). Pros: Food, Ambience more

Dos Caminos!!!!! 7/30/2003

I visited Dos Caminos on a Monday night and had a great dining experience. We ate outside and partook in people watching as the location lends itself to it. The tequila selection is very extensive and the margaritas were tasty. I recommend the guacamole starter with some jalapeno pepper on the side. We ordered a selection of appetizers rather than getting one entree each which allowed for a varying selection of tastes. All the food was delicious. Desserts were also good. The layout of the restaurant was excellent, especially with the outside seating. I would imagine it would be tight in the cold weather as there is quite a bit of seating outdoors. It can be pricey but try ordering an appetizer selection if youre looking to save a few bucks. Enjoy. Pros: Tequila Selection, Guacamole Cons: Little Pricey more

Banality at its best 7/18/2003

Like food with taste? Then don't dine here. Despite the awesome waiter my dining experience was a WASTE OF TIME and $. I ordered a Dos Equis and was told they were out, only to watch not 1, but 2 get served to the table directly across from my party more than once during my dinner. The ribs were barely warm and void of all things resembling taste. The sauce was atrocious, the side dishes none better. Best part of my meal was the Negra Modelo. Rest of my parties dishes were equally bad if not worse. I'd say stop by for drinks only and sit at an outdoor table. Stay as far away from the food as possible (esp. the $12 guac which does not deserve to be served in those dope pig bowls) Pros: waitstaff Cons: food, price more

Blasphemy, at best. 7/17/2003

I simply can not understand how Dos received even the modest rating it did!!! Because i like to keep it positive...i'll start with such: i found the service to be some of the best in SoHo-the staff was polite, relaxed, and not as condescending as other neighboring restrs. The food was no better than a run-of-the-mill Burritoville, the portions are tiny, and the prices are abominable (and i spend a great deal on food) A taco with rice and beans and a marg. ran ~$30 ($12 for the taco, 8 for the r&b, 10 fir the drink) plus tax and a very deserved tip. Everything i ordered was bland and the drink completely watered down!!!!! Guac was $12 and not as good (or generous) as other top rated mexs. SAVE URE MONEY. SPEND YOUR $40 on Taco Bell--at least you won't be bloated by the pretense Horrible experience...i promise Pros: service, ambience Cons: bland food, small portions, inane pricing more

Welcome Dos Caminos Soho!!! 7/6/2003

I heard mixed feelings about this restaurant and thought I should check it out to form my own opinion. One word fantastic! Yeh, it's Soho. Great for people watching which we all secretly love to do. But besides all that, the food was delicous, the staff are friendly and professional and the margarita's are to die for! I recommend the snapper ceviche and the seabass and for dessert the warm chocolate empanada. Keep up the good work guys, we will be back! Pros: indoor/outdoor dining, best mexican in NYC, guacomole!!! Cons: little noisy. more

Not as Good 6/11/2003

Went last Sunday night. The place is much more relaxed than the one on Park Ave. S. The orders got mixed up and the waitress was very ""strange"". The ""plus"" is that they have an outside dinning area. It is ok. Overall, I prefer the one on Park. Pros: outside dinning, good food Cons: bad service more

Mexican hits Soho 5/11/2003

I have to say that Dos Caminos was much better than I had expected. I had also heard some negative things, but I had a nice dinner. The guac is great and compares to Rosa Mexicano and the dishes are good. I had the tamale stuffed with chicken and served with rice. It was tasty and I enjoyed it. The drinks are overpriced and small!! There is probably not even a shot of tequilla in one of their margs. I had the passion fruit marg which was good, but not worth 10 dollars. I would go back to Dos Caminos, but I know there is better Mexican elsewhere. The service is hit or miss as well. Our waitress was nice, but nowhere to be found. Pros: guac Cons: drinks, service more

The Sequel 5/5/2003

I've been to Dos Caminos on Park Avenue religiously. I have to admit the sister in Soho, is great and will shine just as much as the one on Park Avenue in a month or two. The guac of course is amazing and they REALLY dont kid around about their spicy level guac. If it's spice that you want this sequel has it to offer. Yet another great Steve Hanson restaurant in Soho. Pros: atmosphere, guacamole, outdoor cafe Cons: prompt service, reservations, no smoking in cafe more

Heard good things but.... 4/30/2003

I'd heard the original Dos Caminos was excellent. It may be--who knows (we're big fans of Rosa Mexicano, and heard the guacamole here would be just as good or better). We showed up, ordered guacamole and drinks and...got the guac but no drinks until it was all gone (approximately 20 minutes later). We could never find our waitress when we needed her. We frequently were without water. The place was full of drunk, screaming ""scenesters"" and we had to shout--like at a club--to hear each other. I ordered the shrimp, which tasted fishy and tough. Don't go! Rosa Mexicano is much better, if you want top notch Mexican food. Pros: lots of tequilas Cons: overpriced, poor service, bad food more
