Shrimp Fajitas
Margie S.

Went there yesterday with my girlfriends and had a blast!! KUDOS to our waiter, Cesar B., he treated us like queens!! Suzi, the bartender was great too! Looking forward to going back!!

Chicken Quesadilla
Aida R.

I came here for a family member's birthday & had a pretty good experience. The nachos were the highlight of the night & were perfectly placed & plated for everyone at our table to enjoy. I ordered the chicken quesadilla & enjoyed it, but other people I came with ordered beef & birria tacos & weren't too crazy about the flavors in both dishes. Our waiter was very patient & attentive with us & the restaurant decor was very picturesque. Overall a good time, not sure if I'd come back here for a special occasion though.

Appetizers
Hannah C.

Visited Dos Caminos on a weekday for lunch, and it was absolutely delicious! The restaurant was extremely empty in the afternoon, so there was plenty of seating on both the first and second floor. The interior was decorated colorfully and festively. We asked plenty of questions to our waiter, who was patient and helpful. The food arrived speedily. I was really impressed with all the dishes we ordered! The Shrimp Enchiladas Suizas were particularly memorable. I enjoyed the citrus-chile marinated shrimp, which paired well with roasted corn, cheese, poblano rajas, salsa suiza, crema, and queso fresco. It was a rich and hearty meal with plenty of flavor. All the appetizers I tried were also really good. The Cantina Nachos had so many toppings, and the Taquitos de Pollo featured a perfectly crispy exterior. I can't wait for my next visit!

Menu

Service was a bit slow and not as on spot. Waiting a long time to ask if we wanted a drink and then took just as long to get them. The food was good , not much spice to it and wasn't even asked if we wanted any type of hot sauces. Still waiting for our server to ask if everything was ok and if we wanted desert. Ambiance is that of a Mexican restaurant but high class. Just need better service. My star rating is based on service.

Good Mexican Food! Empanadas and tacos good! Service staff nice. Warm decor. Outdoor seating also. Convenient location on Lexington Avenue near Grand Central.

This is a solid spot for lunch, especially if you're near Grand Central and need a place that can easily accommodate a group. The space is large, lively, and comfortable, making it a great choice for bigger parties or even a casual work lunch. The menu has plenty of options, so there's really something for everyone to enjoy. I ordered the fajitas, and they came out sizzling hot, full of flavor, and generously portioned, definitely hit the spot. For dessert, I went with the churros and ice cream, and it was the perfect sweet ending: crispy churros with just the right amount of sugar and cinnamon paired with creamy ice cream. Overall, a convenient, spacious, and tasty option right in the heart of Midtown.

Enchiladas
Christina O.

The perfect spot for lunch. It's very affordable for it being in the middle of Manhattan. The guacamole was good and fresh, just lacked seasoning. The enchiladas were flavorful. The burrito was massive, but also very good. Server was attentive to us. Overall, I'd recommmend this place.

Guac for the table
Shirin B.

Great Mexican spot for a sit down and night out option with a huge cocktail menu! I came with my extremely vegetarian friend and we shared guac for the table and they were able to give us the queso enchiladas with green sauce (mole was not veg!!) and we ended up splitting that and it was delicious!

The carne asada presentation
Shawn L.

I seldom ever write one star reviews. The one star goes to my server, she was very sweet and helpful. Let's start with the $5 chips and salsa, the salsa was actually decent. The chips were a combination of stale, salty and undercooked (the chips were "glued" together by the oil they were cooked in); so for five bucks I got a cup of good salsa. Let's move on to the main course, I ordered their 8oz carne asada made with skirt steak. Ordered it medium rare, I think it was rare but there was no way to discern that because the steak was buried at sea in a gloopy mess of salty melted cheese, some other sauce along with some actually good pinto beans. The steak was cut up into strips in the mess, it seemed like it was untrimmed, there was a layer of gristly fat that's endemic on skirt steak and needs to be removed before grilling, here it wasn't at all. When I tried cutting the pieces into bite-sized pieces I couldn't. There were also unidentifiable pieces of some type mystery veggies which might've been tomatoes, but who knows? I also asked if it came with tortillas and it did, ONE large tortilla well soaked in the mystery sauce. The server removed the $33 mess from my check and I ended up paying for the overpriced chips and iced tea. Would I come here again? Probably not, they have a long way to go to earn my business back, and can start by going back to making simple food instead of whatever it is they're serving now.

These always hit the spot!!! Lovely staff, very filled…read moretacos, and quality in every bite you take ^.^ Love the ambience because all the workers are friendly and pretty modern esthetic with a Mexican twist. Always recommend to anyone to check them out!

I LOVE Los Tacos No. 1. The owners are from Tijuana & went back to learn the recipes. I haven't…read morefound tortillas or meat as fresh & tasty as this, even in NYC's outer boroughs (mostly Puebla-style I'm told). This location is convenient to Grand Central, Bryant Park, & Times Square. I was excited to find them after a getting off the Metro North. Unfortunately, the two times that I've eaten there hasn't been great, compared to their other locations in NoHo & Union Square. I'm not sure if the more touristy ambiance & customers makes a difference. First visit got the Pork Adobada Taco ($5-ish). It's similar to Al Pastor (even served with a few pieces of pineapple) but spicy. It's pork marinated in an adobo sauce made from dried red chiles (like guajillo or ancho), vinegar, garlic, and spices. The corn tortilla was very fresh & good but the pork was SO spicy. Some kind of chili oil was drizzled on, in, within, at the bottom. It comes with a sort of green crema. I barely finished - thought it was a joke or something. The second visit I got the Adobada (requested Zero spice) & a Chicken taco. The pork meat was delicious & reminded me of the first time I had Los Tacos No. 1. The chicken seemed like dark meat & was either over-marinated, slightly undercooked, or on its way out? resulting in weird mushy, slightly liver-like consistency. I even picked through the pieces to check for pinkness...the meat was just dark with little flavor. It came with a dollop of guacamole that didn't have much flavor. The corn tortillas also seemed slightly mealy/mushy & underdone. They weren't airy & slightly puffed as usual. I'll probably go back because their location and cost is convenient. But have to make sure the pork has No Spice & not sure how to ask for "done" tortillas. There's always a line at Los Tacos but it moves fast. The condiments & radishes, limes are always fresh. The staff is always pleasant & work quickly customizing your taco, wiping down the All White! hightops & refilling napkins. Don't think there's a restroom FYI.

Cinco de Mayo landed on my radar when a bunch of us at work were looking for a place to grab some…read morelunch. We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

First time here - pretty solid meal with decent pricing as well…read more I got the cinco de mayo plate which came with beef. Good lunch portion and it was also pretty tasty. Also got guacamole and chips as a side - which was on the smaller side given the price. All in all it's a good lunch option in the city!

I stopped in here while visiting NYC for a couple days with my 11yo. It was a great spot for happy…read morehour (frozen margs)!! The birria tacos were really good (or so my son said) but sadly the taquitos were terrible. They literally just had unseasoned shredded chicken (but serves me right for ordering something so basic). The salsa also tasted more like tomato paste than actual salsa. But again, the goal for this stop was a frozen marg(s) and that mission was accomplished and then were good . The atmosphere was also fun and lively and our server was attentive and never tried to push us out the door despite sitting there for a while!

Unfortunately, this place had little to offer. The staff seemed uninterested--either they didn't…read morewant to serve customers, didn't want to be there, or both. The energy was flat, and that lack of enthusiasm carried right into the food. The menu needs a complete overhaul. I'm not sure if it's trying to be "different," but the taco options were unappealing just from reading the descriptions. I managed to choose the two best-sounding items I could find, and honestly, they were so bland I don't even remember what they were. The setup and decor were basic. This spot could be a fun hangout, but it would take a better menu and staff who actually seem to care. It feels like just another restaurant that's lost sight of creating an actual experience for guests. The lack of vibe is obvious--if you don't want customers, just say so. I'm giving 2 stars out of respect for the fact that people have to work for a living.

I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
