"At Dolores in Bed-Stuy, there's strawberries in your michelada, and the refried beans are so cheesy they could easily pass as queso. It's a fun, funky place that nails the whole we're-a-restaurant-but-also-a-bar thing. You could easily come to this Mexico City-inspired restaurant for just a drink and a snack at the bar. But the food here—like those refried beans, or the El Rey taco with short rib asada and guacamole swaddled in a flour tortilla—is best enjoyed in a dark green booth in the dining room. Come for a full meal on your first visit, try whatever daily special is available, and then return late-night to play some Mexican bar games and work your way through the rest of the cocktail menu." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, willa moore, sonal shah, willa moore
"It’s been a big year for Mexican food in New York (see: Santo Taco, Cariñito Tacos, Olmo, Comal). Next up is Dolores, a Mexico City-inspired restaurant in Bed-Stuy from the team behind nearby Winona’s. The cocktail menu has classic margaritas, but also the Devil At The Disco, with both vodka and rum. The food menu is made up of botanas (like aguachile verde), tacos, and large plates that rotate daily—think Thursday fajitas and Sunday enchiladas." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
