The menu is simple and straightforward: burritos, tacos and quesadillas stuffed with either carnitas, grilled chicken, steak or rice and beans, plus a healthy serving of cheese, salsa and sour cream. Read moreUpvote5Downvote
Heta ShethJune 2, 2016I love this tiny place for their Burrito 🌯 & tacos 🌮 You can feel the freshness in their food. The road facing table is my favorite spot to seat. I bet you wouldn't go to Chipotle after having this

Brian Grogan Jr.October 4, 2015Big, hearty burritos with satisfying meat fillings and fresh toppings. The tortillas are cooked with corn oil for a more authentic taste. Dos Toros is the indie Chipotle; definitely worth a visit!Upvote2Downvote
Adam MMarch 15, 2019Favorite chain burrito! Not only is the food delicious, it’s perfectly seasoned and not too salty, but they roll one mean burrito which always holds its shape and structure.UpvoteDownvote
g oconnorMay 8, 2015The trick is to ask what's best (or, what staff is having) that day. Every burrito is fantastic-but the gems are what new innovation hit today. All salsas/sauces made in house daily.UpvoteDownvote
Dont get - any tacos, quesadillas, chicken, or the super hot sauce. Do get - burritos, platos (burrito bowls), guac, green hot sauce, w/ steak or pork. Some of the best guac in NYC.Upvote1Downvote
One thing that's often overlooked but crucial is the way a burrito is constructed. The ratio of its ingredients, how they're laid out, and how the burrito is rolled. This place gets it right.Upvote1Downvote
Chris RaghoobarJanuary 26, 2017Eat your heart out, Chipotle. The burritos here are far removed from the assembly line fair from Chipotle. Everything, really, is fantastic. They're not playing around with that hot sauce, though.UpvoteDownvote
Sean SalmonMay 12, 2014if you go too strong with the hot sauce prepare yourself for a proper Vision Quest - sweating, hallucinations, deep communion with your spirit animalUpvote5Downvote
Marcus Is KingJanuary 14, 20131st time here, I had the steak quesadilla & jarritos soda. Enjoyed it both for $12. The quesadilla's crust was crisp and the steak were juicy pieces. This place gets two thumbs upUpvote3Downvote
Real Cheap EatsNovember 5, 2012The carnitas (pork) are seared and slow cooked, leaving them juicy and flavorful, with the right amount of salty kick before being wrapped in corn tortilla along with toppings of your choice. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
SPINJuly 19, 2011Cults love this taco joint because they say it's "the closest thing to California Mexican in NYC." Fun fact: Dos Toros was started by a previous member of The Morning Benders.Upvote7Downvote
Emily WJune 15, 2012The rice is made with chicken stock, so vegetarians might be tempted to steer clear. Mistake! For $5 you can get a quesadilla stuffed with salsa, guacamole, beans and cheese, and you won't regret it.UpvoteDownvote
Bryan CuartasApril 22, 2016The bowl was good. Similar to chipotle except they have crunched up chips to put in the bowl too. Little small but the line moves quickUpvoteDownvote
Love their quesadillas; they look like a pressed version of a burrito. Go for steak or pork. Highly recommended!UpvoteDownvote
Lauren ArthurMay 18, 2014Always get as much guac as humanly possible. In the burrito, on the side, with chips, etc. You won't regret it!! (Oh yeah, and always order a burrito!)UpvoteDownvote- The Carne Asado taco will knock you over the head with the smoky taste of the meat. Though the guacamole is optional, make sure to pay up because without it your taco will be severely diminished.UpvoteDownvote
Steak is way better than chicken, burritos are way better than tacos, and the hot sauce is seriously amazing.Upvote3Downvote
Paris GorhamNovember 13, 2017Burritos!!! Dos Toros offers the best and most convenient burrito in the city...chipotle has nothing on it!!

Kimmie OhhJune 30, 2020Lines can get long but they move quick. Carne asada & carnitas all the way!UpvoteDownvote
BollareMarch 30, 2012As a former San Diegan, I'm always looking for a kick of spice and Dos Toros' hot sauce does this and more. The Carne Asada Burrito is my top pick but this monster needs to be shared. —DaraUpvoteDownvote
Killer order: basic quesadilla with vegetables and guacamole. Because the basic comes with rice and beans, it's like a burrito—but the tortilla is grillllled. And even with guac, it costs less.UpvoteDownvote
Gansevoort Hotel GroupApril 8, 2011The anti chipotle/qdoba - this West Coast import definitely makes its mark on the East Coast mexican food world. Juicy meats, fresh tortillas, greatt guacamole, and amazing spicy sauces! A favorite!UpvoteDownvote
sam kahnMarch 5, 2015Carnitas burrito. Spicy salsa is actually spicy. Better value than chipotle, slight edge in flavor department too, especially the hot sauce.Upvote1Downvote
Julia LuJune 20, 2018The best Mexican food in New York. I love the vegetarian quesadillasUpvote1Downvote
UzoNYCMay 25, 2014Wonderfully made tacos and burritos, but go for the bowl whenever possible--best bang for your buck. - http://bit.ly/1nkkOOBUpvoteDownvote
Juston PayneJanuary 4, 2012I know you want to get that chicken burrito with everything on it. Resist the urge. Get the carnitas tacos with only a dash of pico de gallo and cheese. They're pure, essential, and extraordinary.Upvote1Downvote
Carnitas quesadilla with guac is where it's at. Skip the rice& beans in the burrito, they're just filler anyway.
UpvoteDownvote
MiriamJuly 12, 2013If your not feeling up for a big burrito, skip the rice and beans and get a quesadilla. It's wrapped up in a tortilla so it looks like a small burrito, but cheaper and less filling. YummyUpvoteDownvote
One of my favorite Mexican places in NYC. The owners are from the West Coast. Try the basic burrito. Thank me later.UpvoteDownvote
Amazing burritos. I think better than anything in the east village. Only way to be sure is to eat more burritos...UpvoteDownvote
Afraid you'll have to undo your belt when you're done here? Grab a quesadilla instead of a burrito. All the same tasty fillings yet less filling!UpvoteDownvote
ChelseaAugust 8, 2014Carnitas carnitas carnitas. Get it in the bowl. Or if you're craving a burrito, go for the quesadilla. Cheaper and basically the same size.UpvoteDownvote
Time Out New YorkAugust 1, 2011Try the Carne Asada taco here, the tender cubes of rich flap steak are seasoned with a secret spice blend. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more

Rob BevinsNovember 15, 2011This is the only place that I have found in the city that compares to the California Mexican taste. Go with the carne asada - tacos or burrito...you can't go wrong either way.UpvoteDownvote
Mario BataliFebruary 18, 2011real taqueria with just 15 seats, cooks chopping meat and cilantro as you walk in, 2 tacos de carnitas for 7 dollars and a stinging cold can of tecate for 2 bucks and a quarter and a nickelUpvote6Downvote
Rob Silverman-AscherJuly 5, 2011This place is amazing!!! Best veggie burrito around! As a vegetarian, I am annoyed about the rice having chicken stock in it, but I am willing to break my strict vegetarianism for that! 5 stars!Upvote1Downvote
Easy order for noobs: Plato de carnitas, rice & black beans, cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream: Easy win !
UpvoteDownvote- Cal Mex has never been better here than at this San Francisco-style burrito joint. The carne asada tacos are one of our faves, bulging with tender marinated steak. Don't forget to spring for the guacUpvote6Downvote
Get the carnitas burrito. This is as close to San Francisco Mex I've been able to get since moving here 11 years ago. This place ain't Chipotle!UpvoteDownvote
ansje millerOctober 29, 2014Get the real Bay Area burrito experience and ask for it on the grill. Maybe one day they'll have jalapeños.Upvote1Downvote- The Tastes that Make the CityJune 25, 2015The carnitas burrito is the best burrito in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition."

FoodspottingDecember 12, 2010Two friends from Berkeley, CA came to NY to bring a true California burrito to a burrito wasteland. Modeled after Gordo’s burritos, it’s impossible to tell the difference. Get the Pollo Asado! JeremyUpvote5Downvote
- Hierarchy of meats: steak > chicken > pork. Bonus tip: the super hot sauce is best used on the side. They'll apply too liberally if you ask them to add it.

Dan LamSeptember 22, 2014A great alternative to Chipotle or Qdoba. Definitely recommend getting their platos order with chips and guac.UpvoteDownvote
Jo-AnnJanuary 22, 2013The carnitas burrito with pinto beans, rice, sour creame, guac, tomatoes and green sauce was amazing. Surprisingly better than Chipotle.UpvoteDownvote
New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011This San Francisco style mexican restaurant really hits the spot with their quesadillas and burritos, but don't get one without their guac, it's the best!UpvoteDownvote
