Dos Caminos
“We usually go on pay day LOL As far as I know they don't have happy hour, it'd be nice if they did though :-)”
“I can only imagine the hours to be spent in spring/summer imbibing on this.”
“We only had drinks and the guacamole (the salsas that came along with were great too) and the bill was $80 (redonk!).”

Boozy brunch totaling $38. It was difficult to book reservations for other boozy brunch places so I settled for this one which surprisingly still had aloe of reservations available just 2 days before.
It's an extra $18 for the bottomless drinks deal and apparently your brunch entree already includes one free drink. I got the steak and eggs because that's my go-to anytime I see it. Steak was completely unseasoned, the eggs and potato cake were average and the salsa that came with the meal was so spicy (wish they made note of that). Food was subpar, something I could've easily whipped up in my own kitchen. The drink deal was more worth it since we got 5 drinks each
So I actually really like Dos Caminos.
I have heard about it before, most notably from an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians I think, and never made the effort to go. But a friend invited me to happy hour there and I'm so glad she did.
First and foremost there are happy hour deals on food and drink. Major plus in my book because I love a happy hour drink as much as the next person, but food is my first love.
I like the atmosphere/decor. I think it is fun and a little different. It has outdoor seating which is great for the summer.
Also I really like that you see a diverse crowd of people there.
Other pros:
The food taste good
The small guacamole is rather large
I've gone back again and plan to go back later this month – which is rare for me. There are so many places to try that I often try to go to new places each time I go out. But I plan on keeping Dos Caminos as a go-to happy hour spot, especially since there are many locations all over the city.
I highly recommend!
Festive spot for margaritas and solid Mexican food options.
I do not typically like chains but I've not been disappointed at the Dos Caminos restaurants, this location included.
Atmosphere is great with plenty of outside seating, service is attentive and friendly,
And they make a super pomegranate blueberry margarita.
Food is also great. This visit: the mini lobster tacos were fantastic, and the ceviche sampler, one the three very spicy but good.
Recommend for as a meet up for margaritas and food with friends or a date.

Decent Mexican spot with outdoor seating and mediocre to perhaps slightly above food despite somewhat ambitious pricing. Guacamole was good and it's nice to sip a frozen margarita when it's hot, but I'm not in a hurry to drop a Tubman pre-tax/tip on three little tacos when you can get way better stuff in 'grungier' neighborhoods around town.
Had both the pork and beef tacos — it was mediocre. The ambiance is relatively nice and the service is decent. The food is definitely pricey for its quality.
There is seating in the basement with a DJ producing a louder, more active atmosphere.
Delicious. There was some confusion with the menus and I initially picked the steak but found out I had ordered off the wrong menu 🙁 our server was quick to offer me steak quesadillas, since I told him I was really in the mood for steak. They were delicious – it tasted like a steak had been grilled, sliced fresh and made into perfectly cooked quesadillas and not some rubbery chewy over cooked steak. Chips and guac was delicious and so were the three salsa's that came with it. Didn't get a chance to try the margaritas, as I was on a lunch break from work, but I left feeling stuffed and satisfied. Salads that some co-workers ordered were huge and looked good – many others in my party raved about their dishes including the ceviche. Prices are a little bit high, but as long as the food is worth it, I don't mind paying. Good to know that they have multiple locations!
I decided to try Dos Caminos again because my friend got a deal on Gilt ('Guac-tailing' for Two, which includes a pitcher of margaritas or sangria, guacamole, and an order of tacos). We told our waiter about it when we were seated, as we wanted to make sure our order was within the parameters of the coupon. It seemed like no one knew what this deal included – we had to show the coupon 6 or 7 different times throughout the night to our waiter and the manager.
After we ordered, the waiter brought over a pitcher of frozen margaritas. We were under the impression they were "on the rocks," as the coupon did not indicate they were frozen (other Gilt coupons to Dos Caminos specifically said frozen margaritas, so we assumed this one was different). When we asked the waiter about it, he called over the manager. The manager asked to see the coupon again and did agree to switch the pitchers, but it seemed like an inconvenience.
We were also frustrated that water was sporadically dripping down from the ceiling. When we mentioned it to the waiter, he said it was just condensation. If it only dripped once I wouldn't mind, but the water dripped multiple times onto my shoulder and head, and once into our guacamole.
The guacamole and tacos were pretty good, but the overall experience wasn't great. The Gilt coupon was a good deal, but the staff didn't seem to understand it and we felt like an inconvenience.
I loved loved the Dos Caminos experience that I had in the flatiron district (I think 28th and Park maybe) so I was excited that the third Ave location is closer to home. We went to this location for a late lunch. The main issue that differentiates third ave from the other is quality control. The menu is the same so I ordered the same dish (mahi mahi tacos). The ones that I got at third were TERRIBLE. They were so soggy. I don't know if it was the lettuce or the tomatoes but the entire dish was just sitting in the water that had seeped out of the taco, which made them cold. Not at all like the order in flatiron. Additionally we ordered the Mexican city street corn side dish, like we did in flatiron. It was so underwhelming. There was almost no seasoning, no heat, no salt. The only comparison is that flatiron is fresh and delicious and third is more like mass produced cafeteria style food. I won't come back to the third Ave location. If I want tacos I will head to flatiron.
