Place was packed for World Cup game. We didn't have reservations. But they quickly found a table so we could watch the end of Argentina and England. Service was great. Food came quickly despite a packed restaurant at 5pm. Enjoyed the food, vibe, and friendly service ice. They were prepared. Nicholas was great. Manager super friendly and helpful as well. read more

The food was amazing and all the staff were kind and helpful. Our server Quan was out of this world

Ellisa was the best server ever . She was very welcoming and warm and made us feel right at home . She handled our table of 5 with the upmost respect at the end of the night before closing and she definitely made our night much better with her amazing service . read more

Overall, I believe I might go back to this What impressed me was the authentic decor it's large and I hear they have live music on certain evenings although there was none our evening, but they did have a good playlist. We were seated pretty quickly on the patio. It was a nice breezy evening perfect for alfresco dining. Initially our service was fast. Our server came over. Took care of our water brought our additional drink orders and then took our order for food, but then it took a while. Eventually we did get it and I was surprised how well I liked the refried black beans and their rice I opted for their Birria tacos and they were very flavorful and the consommé was delicious. My husband opted for the fish tacos and well he had to fish for the fish in the fish tacos. It was very little and that was very disappointing. I asked him if he would return and he said he would, but he would either not get the fish tacos because they don't have near enough fish to be called a fish taco or he would ask that they put an adequate amount of fish in the taco. It was more slaw and cilantro than fish. But he did agree that the refried black beans were extremely delicious and the rice was very flavorful as well. We both like their chips, which are served with their house salsa. I was not a fan of the salsa. I like mine with a little bit more sweet nod, but my husband did enjoy the salsa. Overall, it was a good first time experience and I usually give a restaurant 2 to 3 tries before I figure if they're just not for me so we'll definitely come back again read more

Went with a group of 5 on a Saturday night, we arrived at 8:35 PM and they warned us they were closing the kitchen in 20 min. So we needed to get orders in asap. (Sat night, DT Charlotte NC?) the service was nice though, and the food was good, nothing revolutionary or unique, but solid American Mexican chain vibes. Maybe come for happy hour? The chips and salsa stood out more than Barria tacos though if that's a good barometer read more

Dos Caminos - Steak Fajitas (4/5) - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Dos Caminos is a great place to stop in for a bite to eat and/or a drink. Though we didn't eat anything, the food being served around us smelled delicious! Sitting at the bar, we interacted with the bartender and ordered the house frozen marg and one on the rocks, as well as chips and salsa. The establishment was decently packed and when we walked by a few hours later, the crowd was much bigger. May be a good spot for the evening time hours! read more

An upscale Mexican restaurant with a high energy atmosphere. Inside is deceptively large, with a variety of tables, high top, and booth seating. The menu steers clear of being too broad and is has tight of traditional burritos, creative tacos, and mostly grilled platters. App options are as expected, and we tried the large guacamole and also queso with added chorizo - both were good. Our party of 4 all ordered tacos (3 blackened fish, one grilled pork), which came with beans & rice. Everyone enjoyed! They came buy with churros with filling sauces which were awesome! Service was a bit uneven. read more

I'm a Mexican food connoisseur and take it quite seriously lol. This place was really cute and the drinks were so yummy!! I won't say this is authentic Mexican food but it definitely yummy. If you have a group I suggest the margarita tower, I enjoyed the passion fruit flavor the most. read more

We had dinner at Dos Caminos tonight, and unfortunately the experience got off to a very rough start. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be 15-20 minutes. It appeared there may have been a private event happening, so things seemed a little chaotic, which is understandable. What wasn't understandable was what happened next. A customer accidentally broke a glass. The hostess moved the party to another table but left the broken glass on the floor. For at least 20 minutes, the glass remained there while the hosts chatted at the stand, one cleaned menus, and multiple servers walked by it -- some even stepping over it. As a mom, all I could think about was someone getting hurt. It was honestly shocking that no one took responsibility for cleaning it up immediately. Meanwhile, our wait stretched to over 30 minutes, and we watched other parties who appeared to have just walked in get seated ahead of us, despite the fact that we were standing almost directly in front of the host stand the entire time. After finally asking about our table, we were seated -- but without menus. I walked back to the host stand and got them myself. Once our server arrived, the experience improved and service at the table was generally fine. The food was meh. I ordered the giant soup and was disappointed. It tasted more like a basic chicken vegetable soup with tortilla strips than anything I would consider Mexican-inspired. My biggest takeaway isn't even the food--it's the lack of attention to guests and basic safety at the front of the house. Leaving broken glass on the floor for that long is unacceptable, and the host team could benefit from better training in guest service, communication, and supporting the rest of the restaurant staff. Do better! read more

Dos Caminos - Giant tortilla soup - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The FINAL regular season pre-game lunch for Seahawks @ Panthers Sun 12/28/25 and this was the consensus location. I had a previous visit where the check calculation was a problem for our group inspite all of us declaring we wanted 'separate checks'. Sadly, we didn't get our checks til 15 minutes before game time. We didn't discover the mix up until well after the game. It took a few phone calls to finally get in contact with the Regional Manager, Daniel, but he was very responsive and promised an opportunity to make it right. We all shared a taquito appetizer which was OK, maybe a bit too crispy and not a lot of flavor. Ben had the Ridiculously Large Tortilla Soup which he said was very good and more than he could finish for a lunch meal. Isla had the cheese Quesadilla which she objected to at the beginning but relented and after eating it agreed it was much better than Taco Bell. She's only five so there's that. I had the shrimp & chicken fajitas which were really good! You get the option of corn/flour tortillas and comes with a generous portion of protein and so many good add on's: spanish rice, refrios, lettuce, pico de gallo and guacamole. Brian, the Manger, checked in on us twice and we had a great server who kept the re-fills coming and making sure everything was OK. This place gets very busy on game day so I recommend getting there by 11am when they open and they do accept on-line reservations. The Ally Bank parking deck is adjacent so it's easy access and relatively affordable for game day parking. You can exit to Good Samaritan Way and avoid the congestion on Brooklyn Village and Tryon Street. read more

I visited this restaurant in hopes of doing a buyout event. The space was very well decorated and lended itself to a nice space for a private event with outdoor/indoor options, DJ, etc. I was surprised that the restaurant (and event manager) did not make sure that we had the best experience, to include service. Our server seemed like they were still in training (slow refill of drinks, didn't bring share plates, etc) - why not assign your most experienced server to our table?? One of the first questions asked is about dietary restrictions - one guest didn't eat pork....her plate included beans mixed with pork. I shared my concern live time to the manager....no follow up at the end of our meal or beyond. Strange way to try and gain business for a buyout for your restaurant! read more

Native Texan here, so yes--I'm biased when it comes to Mexican food. Unfortunately, this place was mediocre at best and overpriced for what you get. I ordered the carne asada and was genuinely excited, but it was a letdown from the start. They never asked how I wanted the steak cooked, which is a huge mistake. Then they covered the steak in cheese--why? That completely overpowered everything. I couldn't even taste the chimichurri. A suggestion: grill the steak properly and serve it simply. If you need cast iron, use a skillet--not a cast iron bowl. Don't drown it in cheese, and please don't cut my steak for me. I'm a grown adult and can handle that myself. On the positive side, the service was on point--our waitress was amazing. The inside was clean and had a kind‑of Mexican vibe going on. read more

Dos Caminos was conveniently within walking distance from where I was staying, so I decided to give it a try! Upon arrival, I was seated without a reservation, which was a plus. I did wait a little while before the server came over, but once she did, her customer service was spot on. The ambiance of this establishment is very vibrant, with beautiful light fixtures and both indoor and outdoor seating options that set the perfect vibe. They started me off with complimentary chips and salsa--always a nice touch. For my entrée, I went with the pollo tacos, paired with black beans and rice. Honestly, after just one taco I was already full! To sip on, I ordered the passion fruit mocktail, which was refreshing and perfect for the evening. Overall, a great dining experience and worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Stopped in after an event for drinks and a bite -- great call. Even with the place buzzing, we snagged two seats at the bar without a wait. My friend and I both went with the margarita cocktail with a sugar rim and it did not disappoint. For food, I ordered the beef empanadas (three count) and they were juicy and satisfying. The dipping sauce was simple but it worked. My friend got the pollo ranchero and loved it -- we both left with leftovers, which says a lot. Oh, and the bathrooms were clean with multiple stalls. Always a win. Solid spot for a post-event wind down. Would definitely return. read more

We were meeting someone in the area and were early, so we stopped in to have a drink. Cute space. The bartender was super super nice! I had inquired about mocktails, not listed on the menu and he offered to make me anything on the menu without the booze! He also offered us up some salsa and chips, which unfortunately we declined as we were heading to dinner! I'd definitely go back for a meal! read more

I loved the food here and sitting on the patio was so nice! Service was great, too. Felt taken care of but also free to take our time.

I went right when the location opened and again more recently and have had different experiences. I think for the portion sizes and price it is a little bit underwhelming. The space is great but I think it does so well where it is location wise with businesses and the stadium. The food was tasty but the drinks were okay. The first time I got the Birria tacos they were HUGE and more recently they were like wish me tacos. Small and hardly any filling. For the price you could find more authentic and filling Mexican food around! read more

We checked out this popular Mexican restaurant-bar in Uptown Charlotte on a Saturday night... As expected, the place was packed...with a very loud, festive bar ambiance. Seemingly more bar than a restaurant vibe. A bit too loud and bustling...not at all relaxing. My husband ordered Dos Enchiladas, and I ordered Skirt Steak Asada...along with a side of Mexican City Street Corn. Well, right off the bat, it was a dud...because my husband received a wrong order. He might have returned it, but the waiter didn't stop back for awhile, so he just ended up eating it. Dos Enchiladas was supposed to be Chicken, but he said he received Shrimp Enchiladas...and he wasn't too impressed with the taste of this dish either. My Skirt Steak was a dud too. First of all, it was over 30 bucks, so I expected an amazing plate (at least a good plate!). Well, first of all, it was quite small. More importantly, it tasted so bland. The steak was too chewy, and the flavor-sauce was mild and underwhelming. Same with the cheese and the beans....all so soggy, watered down, and just Blahhhh. I could only down one third of it...and my husband helped eat most of it. For a more expensive Mexican specialty like this, I just expected better quality. It just wasn't. Sadly, it made me think of watered down dog food. Also, the corn was O-Kay, but it was overpowered by spicy powder (or whatever it was)...just way too much! Even their house salsa sauce tasted bad...with this weirdly bitter accent. THE only thing I enjoyed was this Queen City Margharita...which was jet black in color, yet surprisingly sweet and tasty. Service wasn't too great either. Again, the place was busy...and our waiter just wasn't too attentive. I literally had to go grab someone to get him to come to our table. He'd literally walk by several times without even glancing our way. Again, he brought us the wrong food (no Dos Enchiladas!)...and the rest wasn't too great either. Guess the only redemption was the drink...but it was quite overpriced. Overall, this was a dining experience we both decided not to repeat. Glad I checked it out, but never again. read more

Uptown Charlotte has rather lackluster food but this is one of the top restaurants in terms of poor food quality and price. I ordered the fajitas that cost 23 dollars and it literally came out in a child size portion. This is the kind of frustration that I find commonplace in the Charlotte food scene. Can restaurants finally start taking pride in their food? I'm hoping one day there will be a change... Photo included for reference. Service was fine... Ambience lack of ingenuity read more

Dos Caminos - Smallest fajita I have ever seen - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I wasted my birthday evening here. I ordered a margarita that was so awful it nearly triggered my gag reflex, and even the waiter admitted he'd tasted it in the kitchen and called it disgusting. And my quesadilla: came out cold. I could've stayed home, made a quesadilla, and saved myself $18. Then our waiter blandly announced he'd bring my birthday treat "when he had time", completely killing the element of surprise and leaving my birthday feeling more "meh" than fiesta. It seems as though this place has not put the proper training and care in to their kitchen, bar, nor wait staff before throwing them on to the floor. Needless to say, I will never return. read more

On my trip to Charlotte, my mom's been saying she wants tacos, so saw this place had good reviews and tried it out. It was pretty busy since it's close to all of the offices nearby and at dinner time, but we're able to be sat immediately. We were greeted, brought water and chips and salsa, and after many minutes of contemplating, we ordered the following: passion fruit cocktail/marg, birria tacos, and carne asada tacos. The total came up to be around $60. Food was hot, fresh, and flavorful, and the portions are so filling. It's your typical Mexican restaurant in downtown Charlotte with all the perfect vibes. Definitely come check this place out! read more

I hate to be this person but this was genuinely one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. From arriving, the host made us feel like a burden. Moving on to our server, and really all of the staff in general- no personality whatsoever. I work in the industry and have never seen a place with such little joy. At this point I was only hoping at least the food would be good. Unfortunately, it was terrible. Everything was cold and lacked flavor. I also really want to reiterate how terrible our server was. Last thing I think is ridiculous- the prices. $13 for the tiniest queso you've ever seen and $5.25 for a tiny glass of soda.. stay far away this place just made me sad lol read more

They lie about their hours. It says that they close at 9 PM. I got there at 8:35 PM and they told me that they close the kitchen at 8 PM. It would be nice if they were honest about it on their page. And to make things worse, I called at 8 o'clock and they did not pick up their phone. read more

Dos Caminos - Sizzling Fajitas - Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Dos Caminos is located in downtown uptown at the corner of Tyron & Brooklyn Village. Large facility w/ lots of Latin decor throughout. Craving some good Mexican food, this place looked like the spot to grab a bite. I arrived close to 6pm. No advertised happy hour. Grabbed an open seat at the bar. Sprinkled tables of guests throughout including the bar. Bartender provided a menu but no recommendations or of any specials. Ordered Barria tacos. Unfortunately, you can't mix and match tacos. If you choose the tacos, you'll get three of the same tacos + beans and rice. Took the food to go and it was delicious. Both the bartender and hostess recommended the Barria tacos. I would too! read more

I came here when I visited my brother in Charlotte. We like to bar hop while strolling the city. I was craving a margarita and we decided to give this place a try.

We sat at a bar table and had some chips and salsa with our margs. They have a big menu and a variety of things to pick from. Definitely recommend if you're visiting the area! read more

Went yesterday to specifically have an espresso martini. My husband and I ordered nachos, Chicharrón and two espresso martinis. They were out of Chicharrón - which the waitress had for warned us about that they may be out of them, but they're also out of espresso. We canceled the $22 nachos and walked out. Was a nice looking place and it was packed. The only thing we had was chips and salsa for the table and I assume it would've been good food, but I was very annoyed that they were out of the two things that we specifically ordered. Because of that we wouldn't go back. read more

We went to Dos Caminos tonight, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. When we arrived, we were greeted by Brian, the host. My mom has difficulty eating spicy food and usually avoids Mexican restaurants altogether. Since it was a Sunday and many other places were closed, we decided to give Dos Caminos a try. I asked Brian if it would be possible to prepare something without any spice for her. To my surprise, he personally brought out the chef to speak with my mom about her options. Wow--that level of care and attention was truly above and beyond. My mom felt so welcomed and appreciated. The chef prepared a delicious meal of salmon, rice, and a fresh salad that she thoroughly enjoyed. The kindness and thoughtfulness shown by the staff exceeded all of our expectations. Our server, Christian Cruz, was equally exceptional. We were a party of eight, with people ordering drinks and appetizers at different times throughout the evening, and he handled everything seamlessly. Our chips and salsa were constantly replenished, our drinks never sat empty, and all of the food arrived fresh and delicious. It's rare to find a restaurant that combines great food with such outstanding hospitality. Thank you to Brian, Christian, and the entire team for making our evening so enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend Dos Caminos and look forward to returning! read more

A friend and I came to Dos Caminos for dinner on a Friday. We got there around 4:45 and had to wait to be seated outside. There were open tables but we waited. The host said it would be about 20 min. After about half hour, we went to check on our table and we were able to be seated right away. That was odd. Anyways, we ordered guac as an appetizer. It was good, but I feel like it was a little pricey for the portion. For our entrees I ordered enchiladas and my friend ordered fish tacos. The food was good. Our server was cool too. This place is okay overall. It's a nice option for uptown. read more
