Dos Caminos

Hostess was the worst. She was so rude. Haven’t been treated like that… ever. She was so so disrespectful and rude. This was our third time going there… this time we decided to bring friends who had never been and we were very embarrassed by the way we were treated.
Once we got through the hostess situation we were treated better. Chaz, our waiter, was great. He was very nice and helped our evening to get better. Definitely have had better experiences here in the past

This review is for the 675 Hudson St location. Great food and great service. Gets very busy for dinner but worth the wait. Nice outdoor seating area along 9^th Ave. I’ve tried several different items on the menu and all of them have been very good. Short rib mole dish is the best I’ve had.

Picked up their Churro ice cream sandwich for the June 20 mealpass special, and they prepared it upon arrival (to an empty spot during lunch). The portion was generous and it was quite tasty, the coffee ice cream cutting the sugar of the chocolate sauce and the fat of the 2 churro sandwiches.
Skipped the Unilocal check-​in special prickly pear shot

Possibly the worst bartenders I have ever encountered in my life!
My friend and I went for dinner and there was a 40 min wait so we got seats at the bar. The bartender (a young woman) blatantly ignored us and literally would ask anyone else who walked up what they wanted but wouldn’t even give me a menu. We waited 20 mins to give our order and that was only after some girl (another patron), mentioned that we had been waiting and could order first (This was another bartender, a man probably in his late 20s). We gave our ordered yet he decided to make everyone else’s drinks before ours.
It took another 20 mins for a second round and then when I asked for my check (at this point, most people were dining and the bar had cleared), it was almost as if he did everything he could to delay getting it to me. At this point, I honestly felt personally offended and left so angry.
Also, the drinks were super weak and for girls who usually get buzzed after one, we felt nothing after 3. So, I basically just threw $ 100 in the trash.

Really bad experience. The host was so rude and went out of his way to make us feel unwelcome. Food is fine but there are tons of places in NY where food is good AND staff makes you feel welcome.

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.

Great Mexican food with outside seating if you want. Perfect location right near the Gansevoort, in the Meatpacking District, NY. Awesome guacamole and chip too

What a bad experience! I came to eat with my boyfriend, both of us Mexicans, the place was empty, the host was rude that wasn’t the worst part! We ask for a guacamole that took 20 min, the service was terrible, our server came once to the table and left us for the rest of the evening, the food was bad and don’t even get me started on the beans and rice!
We call the manager and she was clueless and didn’t care.
By far the best thing and only thing was the Mexican beer! Yes that bad!

We got the tour de tacos and we all shared it, everyone really enjoyed their own but I especially liked the fish tacos were soooo good.

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 blasé 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.

I found this place to be WAY TOO LOUD and crowded and the menu itself lacking. Its a weird menu and no matter how much I beg and try I can’t find anything on the menu that appeals to my taste buds. Still, the guacamole is a must. Ate that like it was my last supper.
Ill come back for the guacamole and to watch the pretties walk by. Outdoor sidewalk seating is cool. Bring sunglasses and friends.
Make reservations (weekday happy hours)

Went for lunch today with my husband after a wander through Chelsea markets… the guacamole was the best thing but took 25mins to get to us… I asked the waiter for new cutlery as it was crusty… eeeww! I never got any other utensils. we took it from the next table 40mins after, just before we got our dinner, 50mins after we ordered it!
Ordered the short ribs and burger… neither of us could eat the food it was so bad!!! Bland and tasteless… best thing was the lettuce leaves…
The drinks took 15 mins from ordering…
The waiter took the slow ribs taken off the cheque but it was just so bad I had to post this…
Spoilt a really nice morning. If you plan to eat here… order drinks and guacamole as you are guided in, eat it then leave… We noticed a lot of people doing this… says it all

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!

This place is a must visit, the Fish or Mahi Mahi tacos were amazing really, lots of flavor with the spicy slaw and the sauce on the tacos. Good energy in the place. Restrooms were dirty, service was amazing, our server knew her business very well.
Will be back there soon.
Thank you.

Came here after a long day in the city, was very hungry and in the mood for Mexican food so ended up here with a couple of friends. The restaurant is big, very good for large groups, would feel comfortable sitting in groups of 6 – 8. The décor is also interesting/​nice, brings some calm compared to the craziness outside in the meatpacking district.
We ordered guac and chips, so basic!, for an appetizer; the really spicy one too; it tasted really good, but my taste beds were burning for a long time. I would prob get the mild-​med spicy next time, still don’t regret trying it; they also add different salsas in addition to guauc, some tasted pretty good with the chips
As for my main dish, I ordered the Dos Enchiladas it was pretty good but not very filling to be honest. I ended up, as usual, eating from my friends entrees, one got the chicken quesadilla, really good dish and filling too. The other one got tacos, another pretty tasty dish. By the end of the night we were all full and satisfied.
If you’re ever in the meat packing district, don’t wanna go to those fancy and overpriced places just come here for descent food and descent prices. Also you get a free drink if you check in on Unilocal

My boyfriend and I were quickly seated outdoors, which was preferred because I realized they had heating lamps along each table. I believe this place could be better service wise.
I am a lover of authentic cuisine, for appetizers of course we had the guacamole, it was almost a little bit to mushy for my liking but the taste was really good (I like it more chunky with the avocados.) The dos enchiladas were pretty okay as well but I really didn’t like the mole. (Enchiladas with Mexican chocolate.) my boyfriend had the steak which was phenomenal. Highly recommend that option if you’re a beef lover. Overall, four stars for the food.
For the service two stars. Our waitress was pretty friendly but I had to ask her repeatedly if someone can turn on the heating lamps. She promised me within the 10 minutes the manger would come and turn it on. Never came. Got our food, ate & drank our beers and still the manager never came. Of course if I chose to sit outside that’s my own fault but why have the heating lamps if it’s going to be such a hassle to turn it on. I couldn’t enjoy the time or the food because I had to be in the cold.
TIP: if you get chilled easily when the sun goes down, stay indoors you might have to sit outside with a heating lamp next to you that will never get turned on.

We were seated in 5 (as opposed to the declaration of 20) minutes by our hostess at this restaurant that I’d heard so much about, but not visited yet. The interior was very nice, but we chose to people watch outside instead. I took the Prickly Pear and the French Toast, and my friend an enchilada and champagne.
This was a really well priced meal (we each paid 20 $ with tip for a cocktail, main dish and coffee) in a very buzzing neighborhood. My French toast was served with a delectable whipped cream and tasted awesome. The cocktail was pretty nice, not the greatest but not terrible. My friend’s enchilada looked good and he was pleased with his champagne. As we looked around at the pretty and chic people around us, I looked around at the tables around us and people seemed happy with their tacos and the al fresco brunch situation. Recommended, especially for when it’s warm out! But be prepared to wait for groups larger than 2.

Being a tourist and a Sex in the City fan, I couldn’t leave NYC without going to the «Meat packing District». And OMG this place is AWESOME! Omg, I wish I could go back. Jalapeño margarita… check. Healthy Mexican food??? Check! AND it’s pretty good. Their tostado app with guacamole and salmon is delish! Roomy had the pork tacos, and they were even better. I think what was even more great was they had a club in the basement. It wasn’t huge, but it was a full crowd and they played mainstream hiphop when I was there (Friday night).
Extras–
Bathroom is downstairs next to the club. Watch your step after a few drinks. It could be devastating. Be smart and use the railing.
Hostesses were friendly. Service was a little slow to greet the table but after he was pretty efficient and gave really good suggestions.
Margaritas were the average price to other midscale restaurants… expensive for a Mexican spot in my opinion.

Oy, I really wish I had a better experience here. The service was excellent– our waitress was very attentive and helpful. So, this review is really about the food.
I ordered the grilled grapefruit margarita (~$ 15) which was beautiful when it arrived. But, as far as the taste was really mediocre. When I pay $ 15 for a cocktail, I want it to be so delicious that I spend another $ 15 for a second.
For my entrée, I ordered the BBQ Goat. I have had goat several times, usually at Indian restaurants, and really enjoyed it. I figured, why not give Mexican goat a shot? This particular goat was not enjoyable. It was incredibly tough, and the flavors were very gamey. My friend ordered the Baja «surf and turf» tacos. The skirt steak was very tough and without flavor, while the shrimp were heavily coated in a greasy breading.
This restaurant is in a beautiful location, and I could see myself coming back to get some classic drinks and apps to enjoy outside. For my more adventurous palate, I will turn elsewhere.

I went there with few friends on my visit to NYC.
I took Durango — very spicy margarita. (see photo)
It was way too spicy for me, I had to ask to dilute it with some more juice. The other friend who took it loved it, but if you’re not into spicy, you might want to choose other cocktail.
We also took 2 taco dishes (veggie and another one). It was OK, but I wouldn’t recommend taking it.
But anyway, I really enjoyed being there and would be happy to go back. First of all, our server was really good! It’s amazing how good, generous service can make you feel better about a place.
Besides that, their location is perfect, and they have such a nice atmosphere. It’s so much fun to sit outside (when the weather is good), and just relax.
