New York City’s Best Mexican RestaurantsDos CaminosHigh-end cantina scene shows off tequilas and trend-setters on Park Ave South.
The SceneThe restaurant's popularity is due in no small part to co-owners John McDonald (Canteen, Merc Bar) and Steve Hanson (Blue Fin, Fiamma, Ruby Foo), who've brought their mix of PR buzz and exquisite design sense to this sprawling space. It feels more intimate than its 250 seats, however, thanks to a series of cutout screens and a cluster of whimsical hanging lanterns made from tree trunks. The FoodThe lure of guacamole and margaritas isn't lost on Dos Caminos. The strawberry-basil margarita is deliciously sweet and tangy, while the frozen prickly pear version is deceptively potent. Guacamole is made tableside, so you can dictate just how spicy you want it. The kitchen satisfies with starters like rich tostaditas with avocado and chipotle-tomato-roasted pork and lighter, yet just as flavorful, soft tacos with grilled sea bass. Main courses are more hit-or-miss, although fans of shellfish will be pleased by both the lobster tumbada, a dish similar to paella, and the garlic-lime marinated grilled shrimp. More Than EnoughIn addition to sangria, cervezas and specialty cocktails Dos Caminos has over 150 different tequilas. No Reservation?If you find reservations hard to come by, weekend lunches offer sure bets for walk-ins. 373 Park Ave S |
