what a transformation – I used to visit the same place for happy hours. It was my first visit after the change was made - what a difference! The artistic lighting, seating, and food - all are improved!

great sunday brunch – If you hate the annoying crowds, have a late sunday brunch. The brunch comes with a complimentary drink and live jazz. Make sure to try the table side guacamole with the warm fresh tortilla chips. Flavorful carnitas tacos.

Blah & Blah – I have to say, I was really looking forward to some great Mexican and a cool ambiance on a Wednes. night, but unfortunately, DC was VERY disappointing in both respects. The bar area is a strip of bar near the front door and very boring - crowd is pretty cheesy, post-college. And the restaurant itself is huge although the tables are packed together and the hosts keep people waiting b/c they have no idea how to tell which tables are open. Aesthetic was very dull too - a few strangely placed mirrors and orange-y l... read more

Hipsters, Converge – Food was fresh, not unpleasantly seasoned, but nothing special either. Certainly didn't warrant the price tag, that's for sure. Very cool decor, although on more than one occasion other diners' buttocks were in our faces as they tried to get in and out from behind their tables. It's a huge place, so pull out a few tables and give folks a LITTLE privacy and room. Service was friendly, but not terribly attentive, took 30 minutes after dinner to clear our plates, and another 20 to get our check. Seems as th... read more

Holy Guacamole! – Went there once for drinks and once for dinner. The bar area is really small, so I would not plan on meeting alot of friends there. For dinner, it is good. We were not rushed at all. The guacamole is good, but they don't give you enough of it. The Mexican Bloody Mary stinks! The food was OK, Sea bass was very good, but the Tuna (cooked black and blue) was VERY dry, and had too much sesoning on it, and I LIKE seasoning.

Fun Place to Hang – I went to Dos Caminos for dinner with a friend on Thursday night. This place is the old Chinoserie renamed under new ownership. The bar was very busy and to my surprise the food wasn't bad. The decor is very interesting and the restaurant is "L" shaped. The tableside guacamole is good but can't hold a candle to Mexicano Rosa's on 60th and First. Overall a fun place to hang on Park Ave. I would go again in the Spring. by: Aprilann

see secret review below – same thing happened to me (see other post about table resv)... we had reservations and they told us it would be an hour. Then another person in our party told the staff we didnt have reservations and they seated us 5 minutes later! This place is way too crowded and way too expensive. Food was so, so. Not worth the money. NYC will never get Mexican right. The Park Ave crowd is definetly representing!

Here's the secret – We tried to get reservations and they told us we were booked. But we walked in anyway and we were seated in 5 mins. The food was great--mini tacos are inventive and tasty. Tableside guacamole also good. And despite the fact that it was crowded, we had to ask for the check--no pressure at all from waitstaff. Will definitely go again.

Ariba! – Great for groups. Guacamole is terrific here, they make it right in front of you. The entrees are huge and the desserts are even better. Nicely prepared. Had a great lunch with co-workers there. Highly recommended. The food is very spicy. Ask before you order.
