Editorial Review for Dos Caminos Soho – by Dana Bowen
The Scene
The swank spin-off of Steve Hanson's popular Park Avenue cantina is a Soho hipster haven. The downtown digs look familiar, with a brushed-tin bar leading into a prime people-watching patio, and a booth-lined dining room with high skylights, geometric cut-out screens and antiqued mirrors. The vibe is younger and edgier, but its buzz can be its bane: Diners shout over music, and service can be over-taxed .
The Food
The upscale Mexican menu wows crowds with innovative ingredients and showy good looks. Mashed-to-order guacamole and hand-rolled tacos, stuffed with grilled jumbo shrimp and served with three incendiary salsas, make fun, shareable starts. Appetizers--earthy huitlacoche-mushroom masa tarts and shrimp seviche in lime-tomatillo emulsion--are well-composed hits. Entrees are more traditional: Manchego rellenos and sticky-sweet chipotle pork ribs are worthy of return visits, but roast chicken mole and enchiladas lack complexity. Hot banana crepes with goat cheese caramel are a must.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThe more than 100 tequilas are showcased on a well-organized list, with adjective-heavy descriptions. Sample them on their own with a traditional tomato-citrus chaser called a sagrita, or stick to the downright delicious margaritas. The prickly pear version is DC's signature cocktail.
The ExtrasThe restaurant accommodates parties of 18 in its dining room. Private rooms for larger parties are also available.

I have been there several times and I like the guacamole but if your looking for a big serving don't bother. I tried the shrimp ceviche and the tacos which were both average. It was nothing to rave about.
Pros: Guacamole
Cons: Ceviche

The mojito was so strong it burned my stomach, it was not even tasteful. They took it back and I had a sangria, and the sangria was just horrible. The food was ok, but I think if you're in the mood to have mexican food, you can find better mexican food else where..and better drinks. The guacamole was good but then again its so simple to make you cant go wrong with that at any other mexican place.
Pros: Guacamole
Cons: Mojito & sangria :S
