\"Dos<\/a><\/p>\n

Last Saturday, we celebrated John\u2019s birthday with a fantastic Mexican dinner at Dos Caminos Soho<\/a>. We walk by this place all the time, and it\u2019s always very crowded. It\u2019s first come, first serve for outdoor seating even if you have a reservation. Lucky us \u2014 an outdoor table for two was available right when we showed up!<\/p>\n

You cannot visit a Mexican restaurant and pass on the guacamole. We ordered the mango & papaya-habernero guacamole ($14). Comes with a trio of salsas. The salsa verde, the mildest of three, was my favorite. The spiciest salsa was delicious, but it was too much heat for me. Thank goodness for the creamy guacamole to soothe my taste buds.<\/p>\n

\"Mango<\/a><\/p>\n

Dos Caminos has a very extensive cocktail selection, especially if you are a tequila fan. I had the grilled grapefruit margarita. The subtle grilled flavor was quite nice and went well with the salt. John is not a tequila man, so he tried the \u201cQueen of the Night\u201d pale ale.<\/p>\n

\"Queen<\/a><\/p>\n

The empanadas de platano ($10) are a good option for vegetarians. Roasted plantain masa, black beans, poblano chiles, and queso anejo. Nicely plated, extremely rich and filling. By the time we finished our guacamole and empanadas, I was already stuffed\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Plantain<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026and there were still veggie tacos ($15) on the way! Warm tortillas with grilled avocado and veggies, white beans, cucumber pico de gallo, and queso fresco. I\u2019m not sure why it comes with an odd number of tacos, but I overheard a waiter telling an adjacent table that you can add on an extra taco if you like.<\/p>\n

\"Vegetarian<\/a><\/p>\n

The veggie tacos were very good, and I loved the large slices of grilled avocado. The tacos also come with a good portion of rice and beans on the side.<\/p>\n

\"Vegetarian<\/a><\/p>\n

Guacamole and chips, empanadas, and tacos\u2026 that was a lot of food for two people. Food coma soon kicked in as you can see from the blank expression on the birthday boy\u2019s face, haha! A successful birthday dinner, and I\u2019d love to come back for brunch!<\/p>\n
