Eric WagnerJune 16, 2011The carne asada meat is delicious but crazy chewy. I'd go for something else.
They can take way too long sometimes. I recommend calling ahead.
CelienaApril 7, 2010Love La Esquina, but unhappy that now they say I can't add cabbage to my order! La Esquina- CHANGE THIS PLEASE.. I even offered to pay extra for it and still got a "no"
RSeptember 11, 2019Food is great, service is horrible. The waiter rushed us multiple to finish each course. I mean really?
Jay DavisMarch 1, 2012Look around - all the people working behind the counter have two things in common - obesity and an attitude
Nathan HamblenSeptember 13, 2012It's in the tourist fleecing business now. Be prepared to turn away vague offers of chips and salsa ($15, not on menu), or just avoid the place.- OliSeptember 29, 2018Ok food but overpriced and the service is rude. There's a speakeasy in the back.
Guillermo HMOctober 30, 2013Decent food for around $12, but the attitude of the ladies at the counter makes it insufferable.

sometimes you can't go wrong with just arroz y pollo: get the plato julia
Make sure you grab some Valentina's hot sauce for your tacos.
Angela ImMarch 27, 2009Trendy and exclusive underground lounge (walk downstairs through the kitchen) under taco take-out store with interesting tequila list
- Amanda KludtSeptember 9, 2010Must gets: lengua and carnitas tacos. The Mexican corn isn't so bad either.

"Dos Caminos is some of the best Mexican you'll have in NYC. This location has a lively ambiance, we love coming back. Solid choice for either lunch/brunch or dinner while in the Meatpacking area"

"Gorgeous, sexy space! Amazing tapas-style Mexican, all done with a touch of elegance. My favs: burrata, lobster with mole, meringue with corn mousse! I may or may not have had 2 of the mousse!"

"Favorite bar right now. The decor, music, atmosphere, munchies -- all rad. Tell the bartender what your preferred liquor is, and the mood you're in. S/he will make you a delicious cocktail. Trust."
