On a hot summer day outdoor dining and frozen margaritas were calling my name. Luckily we happened to stumble upon Dos Caminos walking through the Meatpacking District.
Upon checking in through Yelp I was surprised to see that there was a checkin offer I could redeem, a free prickly pear shot! My drink was bigger than a shot, but I'm not complaining one bit! My friends and I also ordered different flavored frozen margaritas. The margaritas were strong and refreshing, but unfortunately lacked the blood orange flavor from my blood orange margarita. I have had better. The guacamole was just ok, and for a $14/26 small/large price tag I would expect phenomenal. I ordered the surf and turf taco and it came with a side of rice and beans. Again, just ok.
Overall Dos Caminos has some pros. Great location for people watching. Strong and refreshing drinks. Great service.
I can't. I can't come back here. I don't know why I keep coming back here. Perhaps of the convenience factor? This place consistently gives terrible service, aside from [a few] of the hosts. One time I was here on a Monday evening, not busy at all, and our waitress was completely blase about the fact that she was working. She acted as if we were the ones inconveniencing her by being seated in her section, and made us feel completely bothersome. Mind you, this was on my birthday – when I asked if they do anything for birthdays, she begrudgingly said "yes" and brought out some dessert thing. no other comment.
Fast forward a few months, I venture back here because, to be honest, their food is kinda decent. KINDA. Their salsas blend extremely well together, and their guac is on fleek. They're got a veggie bowl that's so tasty, as well as their [very] buttery cornbread (but, sadly their veggie tacos are NOT good at all, quite boring, in fact). It took so….. long….. to get, well, basically everything except the food. Water, beer, appetizer. They didn't come and ask how our meal was, if we needed anything… didn't refill our empty water glasses. I just find it hard to believe that the management of a well decorated, decent Mexican place does not care about the level of service given or the quality of the customer service.
this location has ample patio seating, which we took advantage of on a thursday night. i prefer to stick to margs and apps here vs. ordering the pricier entrees. note- everything here is expensive. $15 for a skinny margarita, yes it was strong but for the price it better be. regular size order of guac is $14, its real good but whoa $$. my friend and i actually ordered a couple of sides to share, this seems to best the bang for your buck. they are all $7 and pretty large. definitely try out the mac n cheese with chorizo, and rice, beans, and street corn are also generous portions.
After visiting the Chelsea Market decided to go out and try a different spot to sit and dine in; we passed by this restaurant and had a quick check on Yelp to sw the reviews and due to mixed reviews decided to try the restaurant; we ordered Tacos, chicken and steak and also ordered the tortillas with trio salsas; the quality of food here is well below the average for New York; it didn't seem like fresh, the beans and rice were like few days old and just being warmed up!
Tortillas were just OK and guacamole was not something special; service was just average;
Definitely will not repeat if in the area and will not recommend to anybody as you can get way better quality Mexican food in the area for the same price.
It was not cheap also,just average food price on New York!
Outdoor fun, Dos Caminos Meatpacking feels like you're away on vacation! Best location.
Guacamole is the best in NYC. Fresh and delicious. All you need are cocktails and you're vacay begins!
Rose Sangria is perfect on a warm sunny afternoon!
Chopped Salad with chicken was wonderful! Buffalo chicken opposite strips of crunchy chips and greens, corn, red beans satisfy beyond.
Taquitos were great. Rice & beans too!
Shrimp tacos added to the meal
We ended with frozen shots called The Prickly Pear!
Fabulous!
I had this Dos Caminos location on my restaurant bucket list for months until I finally had the chance to go. We went there for an early dinner 2 Saturdays ago and the patio was packed! It looked like such a great place to relax, people watch, and enjoy a few drinks. We decided to sit inside, because it was a bit cool and we had already been sitting at a rooftop prior to going there. We were seated toward the back of the restaurant toward the tip of the triangle where the waiters POS machine is. The ladies who arrived after us were approached immediately, given their drinks, and salsa and chips. Our waiter showed up after they started eating! We were so confused. Even then, our drink order was taken and we had to ask for salsa and chips.
Overall, the food was good, ambience was nice, but service was all over the place. We ended up spending $200.00 anyway, but it's just a shame we prob wouldn't go back or take any visitors there. Also, they really shouldn't place seats right next to the POS machines. You can literally hear everything the waiters/waitresses are talking about.
I was delighted to find a spot that served elote (Mexican street corn) OFF the cob – much easier for a group to share. We also had the pineapple guac, which comes with cucumbers that are dressed with some sort of vinegar/light Italian dressing tasting concoction as well as chips and a trio of salsas. Very refreshing on a hot day.
The margaritas are FABULOUS. I typically don't order margaritas in Mexican restaurants because they are just not good, but these are not your average margaritas made with a mix, etc. There is actual lime juice in there! My friend got the jalapeno margarita and raved about it.
I only give this 3 stars because it is very pricey for what you actually get, and the service is very much average. Would I go again? Probably for the good guac and a nice stop while in the city, but not a "must see."
Grilled orange margaritas and tacos that you can make "naked" aka they serve your meat of choice over a bed of greens and quinoa.. Great option!
Chorizo fundido
Lobster and avo mini tacos
Carnitas naked bowl
All amazing.. If you're a cheesehead, you must get the fundido.. It comes with some warm, freshly made tortillas for dipping..loved. I could have done with out the lobster minis but the carnitas bowl was perfect.. Nice and light after all that heavy melted cheese, yes please.
This was enough for two..
nice seating area on the sidewalk ..
