About

About Dos Caminos

Dos Caminos opened its first location in New York City's Meatpacking District in 2002, quickly establishing itself as one of the city's destination spots for upscale Mexican cuisine. The name — Spanish for "two roads" — reflects the restaurant's dual commitment to authentic regional Mexican cooking and modern culinary creativity. Over the following decade it expanded to multiple New York locations and eventually to cities including Atlanta, Charlotte, and Atlantic City.

The kitchen has long been famous for its tableside guacamole program, where servers prepare fresh guacamole to order using ripe Hass avocados and housemade salsas. The bar program is equally celebrated, featuring an extensive list of artisan tequilas and mezcals alongside hand-shaken margaritas and other classic Mexican cocktails. The festive, vibrant dining rooms are designed to evoke the energy of Mexico City's cantinas and street markets.

Today Dos Caminos positions itself firmly in the upscale casual-dining segment, offering dishes like mole-braised short ribs, salmon zarandeado, and sizzling fajitas alongside the street-food staples — taquitos, ceviche, and birria flautas — that first made the brand famous. Whether guests come for a quick weekday lunch or a weekend dinner celebration, the restaurant delivers consistent quality and a lively atmosphere rooted in genuine Mexican culinary tradition.
