As part of the B.R. Guest Restaurants in NYC, Dos Caminos has several restaurants in the city. We visited the one in the Upper East side, 51st Street and 3rd Ave. We've frequented the restaurant before and have always enjoyed their sangrias and food. But they are most known for their guacamole!! I prefer their spicy version which gives it an extra kick. You'll have to ask for it since the waiters don't often tell you about it.
Here are reviews of two items on their menu.
Lamb Shank Mixiote ($25) - steamed in avocado leaves, ancho chile abodo, citrus juices and gingered plaintain mash. This dish was absolutely tender and flavorful! If you're looking for a hearty dish, this is as delicious as it looks in the picture, if not better.
Ribeye Steak Alambre ($28) - skewered with applewood smoked bacon, cipollini onions, poblano chilies, arroz con crema and chimichurri sauce. This was a delicious dish except that the chilies and meat were a bit burned for my own liking. I didn't eat some of the bacon because of the blackened edges. However the steak was cooked perfectly. The rice was very creamy, it tasted like it was cooked with a sweet cheese. Yum!
And the best way to top off the meal was with a pitcher of sangrias! They packed a strong punch and definitely worth drinking again. Salut!
