Dos Toros Taqueria

I’ve been going to Dos Toros for years. The tacos continue to be super tasty, I am pretty sure the mushroom taco is one of the best in the city. Easy spot to grab a quick bite.

If you're looking for a great place to grab a quick, delicious meal, Dos Toros is the spot! I’ve been coming to this location for a while, and I’m always impressed by how friendly and efficient the staff are, even during the lunch rush. They always take the time to customize my bowl exactly how I like it, never rushing through the process. It’s clear they really care about making each customer’s experience enjoyable. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying—definitely one of my go-to spots for a tasty, satisfying meal. Highly recommend!

The rice was not cooked well so the particles were hard, the chicken was under seasoned, honestly it was so bad that I couldn’t finish it and I usually eat a burrito in one sitting . I would rate it a 4/10

Great Dos Toros Taqueria 🌮 🌯! Yummy food! The food was fresh, the staff attentive, and the line moved quickly. Definitely one of the better branch locations. It’s smaller then some of the others but they pack all the goodness. Stop in for lunch or dinner and treat yourself 😋

This Dos Toros is always an absolutely pleasant experience every time I come here! The staff are incredibly patient and helpful, and the food is always delicious. 10/10 highly recommend.

Don’t pay attention to what some people say just because and try for yourself if you’re tried real Mexican food you will love it my favorite is the burrito Bowl if have any question don’t hesitate in talking to Madeline the manager she is amazing when you you come back to this review and let me know 😉

From Texas and was always told never get any resemblance of mexican food....IM SO GLAD I DID NOT LISTEN. This food was AMAZING!!!!

I love eat at Dos Toros food is Amazing and fresh I live guacamole and burrito 🌯 specially the excellent service from the girl name madelin she is professional and fast !thank you for your customer service and your big smile 😀

This was one of my least favorite locations. I came in for a burrito but as it was being prepared I noticed some of the ingredients didn't look fresh, especially the lettuce. It was around 6PM or so, maybe they didn't feel the need to have fresh vegetables since it was later in the day. The burrito didn't taste bad or anything but I would frequent the 52nd Street location when I used to work late from the office and they always had fresh ingredients.

me and my friend were walking around NYC and seen a couple of these restaurants during our walk. All of the locations were closed on sunday except this one, so when we walked back by it, we decided to stop inside. There was only one other person inside when we got there so service was fast since there wasnt a line. I ordered a steak taco and a chorizo taco. My friend got nachos. The tacos themselves werent that bad but they were great either. The steak tasted good and they loaded the tacos up. They were falling apart though with the toppings I had and was hard to eat as a taco. I should've got the burrito if I knew they were really gonna load those things up like they did. Although the tacos werent bad they also were kind of basic and nothing special in terms of flavor. The workers working this day were friendly though and the place was very clean. I dont know if I would return since Im hardly ever going to be in NYC but I wasnt mad at the meal. It hit the spot for that moment.

Even though the workers were matter of fact and seem like they did not want to be there- it is okay. The tacos and ingredients were fresh! Seriously- never cared much for fine casual or the like, but this time and this location, totally deserved a review! That was how fresh it was. Usually the brookfield location does not have the foot traffic as this location does, so that may explain the slight inconsistency with the ingredients. Meanwhile, their soft corn taco shell was soooo fresh like straight from scratch-made. Luckily I ordered 2!! The corn and sour cream were glistening and it was apparent from the bites that can pick up whether it was sitting around for a while or just came into existence not too long ago and made it to their serving tables. Recommend!!!

We were really looking forward to coming back to Dos Toros after having had it about 10 years ago while visiting NYC. I was disappointed when I walked in because the place was so dirty! Employees were standing around talking. There were no customers until we walked in. The tables should have been spotless. We had taken the subway across town to go to the most highly rated Dos Toros. It was not worth it. We ordered a bowl with chicken. The chicken was dry. The serving countertop also was not clean. If we hadn't traveled so far, I may have walked out. Customer service wasn't great either. Somebody should have greeted us when we walked in. But they were too busy chatting it up in the back. This experience was a let down.

Two words: NEVER AGAIN! Cheap tortilla falling apart, not enough flavor in the steak and chicken. Luckily the carnitas was Eh, nothing compared to Chipotle and any taco truck I've experienced. Only good experience was the staff being helpful and not kicking me out and letting me continue to eat there when they were cleaning up the restaurant. I definitely will not be coming here again and def. not to waste $23 on 3 wack ass tacos!

I really enjoyed my custom bowl, which I ordered to-go for my work lunch. I got a spiced sweet potato bowl with cauliflower rice (+$1.99), black beans, corn salsa, peppers & onions, pickled onions, lettuce and guacamole (+$1.99). I'm definitely team Dos Toros! Here are a few reasons why I prefer it over Chipotle: 1. Additional options that are great for those who prefer to eat healthy and vegetarian: cauliflower rice as a base, sweet potatoes or Brussels sprouts as the main/protein, and pickled onions as a topping 2. Fresher, higher quality ingredients 3. Perfect portion size (although the portion is smaller than Chipotle's)

Love their burritos! Full-filing and more flavorful than Chipotle. Also they hot pressed the tortilla longer so it's actually warm when you eat the burritos. Service is quick. Nice staff. 1-2 bar tables/seats inside. Most people do take out.

The food is really good, large portion sizes. Like a much much much better version of chipotle. From what I remember the seating area is limited but then it's near union square so that's to be expected.

Community manager reached out which I really respect. They gave me a Guac and chips that were spectacular. The Guac really is tremendous. It's the perfect consistency. I also love how salted the chips are. Great bite!

Been to Dos Toros multiple times and at different locations. On this occasion, we had the slow-cooked carnitas bowl. The service was prompt and we didn't have to wait long to get our food prepared. Onto the burning question ; is this place better than it's main competitor Chipotle. The answer is yes... And no. This bowl is about a dollar cheaper than a similar product at Chipotle. In my opinion, Dos Toros' bowls are slightly smaller than at Chipotle so that also means less food. The taste is similar but if you twist my arm, I'd say Chipotle tastes better. But it's a toss up. Also worth mentioning that this location has very limited seating. If you want a quick bite for a decent price hit this place up.

Always have such an amazing experience when visiting the grand central location. The staff and the manager is amazing attentive,informative,and food always fresh and tasty, from the ambiance the moment you enter to the warm see ya laters when leaving. Awesome store.

my boyfriend and i stopped in for lunch. it was better than chipotle! no code for the bathroom. the menu listed fountain drinks but they only sold cans or bottled drinks.

Food was ok. Service was great.It's a take out place. Very few seating. Ambiance ok. I didn't find the food tasty .

Not the Dos Toros from 10 years ago!! Ingredients are totally different, rice is hardly Mexican rice like it used to be. Chips tasted like they were fried in old grease. So sad.

Okay, Brussels sprout lovers, take note on this... I just had a bowl, no rice, no beans but the yummiest sprouts ever. Spread the word!! Madeline and Natalie, servers at Dos Toros, are quite a pleasant team!

Ended up here because I had a huge urge for some nachos! So glad I gave them a second chance all these years later. The impossible beef nachos with all the toppings! Totally a great thing to order and satisfies the tastebuds!

the food was dry, everything was watered down. the food had no seasoning. it did not taste like mexican food. the overall place was nice

I had a great time here, the food was nice and the worker's energy was amazing. I walked into all bright smiles and felt welcomed. I've been to other Dos Toros but this specific Dos Toros is my favorite and many of my colleagues can attest to that. The only negative thing I can think of is the fact that I cannot tip them. I have become a regular here, they even remember my order to the T. Who ever runs this store you're doing an amazing job keep it up!

Think of this as chipotle but way better. It is a little more expensive but the quality and flavor far exceed that of chipotle. The staff was nice and quick with making the food so if there is ever a line (there wasn't when I went) I would expect it to go quickly. The seating is very casual, much like chipotle..... basically this store is a rip on chipotle but a lot more flavorful and authentic.

Sweet potato burrito bowl, all the way. Never tried it before but glad I did. Friendly counter staff.

The staff is great, and Sylvia is amazing. The staff, is always attentive, friendly, and fast! I have no complaints, and would highly recommend coming to this location.

Primera vez aquí. Ellos tiene los mejores tacos, se lo recomiendo mucho y los empleados muy amable.

3 words: Disgusting and NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Terrible service and long wait. Food is very dry and tastes very old. Most things were out of stock. Everything is falling apart. Not enough meat in the burritos! Chipotle is FAR better. I will for sure never be coming again! way to overpriced!

Better tasting version of Chipotle! Previously I was eating Chipotle across the street a few times a week but I've converted after trying this place out a week ago. Prices are pretty much the same with very similar portions. Carne Asada (Steak) is just hands down much better here. Chipotle steak is always a bit dried but you don't have that issue here. I recommend always getting the guacamole, it makes everything so much better. Ordering is quick and easy (just note this place doesn't have much room for seating)

They start putting stuff away way before their closing time. Better get here at least 35 min before close

Enjoyable meal as always at Dos Toros. My first couple times I felt Chipotle was better, but over the last couple years I have felt the food fresher and better quality at Dos Toros, and felt this experience was no different. Service wise, note that this location does seem to get a good amount of online orders; it seemed like quite a few had to be filled before the servers had time to build my bowl. I opted for a build your own, with cheese and various topping. All in all, a very standard Dos Toros experience (if you have never been, think fast casual Mexican in the vein of Moe's and Chipotle). I would rate Dos Toros above Chipotle and Moe's, but below Qdoba.

GREAT SERVICE & GREAT FOOD: BUT NO A.C. I've been coming to this location for almost 3 years now everyday I'm at work (Monday-Friday). And the service is always amazing. And so is the food. But it's impossible to keep coming back with no AC units in the restaurant. I will stop going to Dos Toros. It saddens me because I went everyday for the last 3 years. But without AC, I can't keep having lunch there. Please fix the AC!

The food here was horrible. The guac was old and brown, the service was terrible. The owner Oliver Kramer and his wife Carlie obviously don't care about giving people quality food. DO NOT GO HERE EVER

no vale la pena or Not worth it .. Dos Toros has gone completely down hill .. I hope their private equity that owns them knows this.. As if they are now chasing cava grill IPO they have a lot to work on. Food is not too fresh anymore .. seems like its just sits there all day long.. Nothing new.. I'm starting to contemplate going to chipotle again which is a bad idea.

I would choose this place any day over Chipotle. I never really cared for that other place. This one here is a different story. Im just so shocked to find a place with great tacos thats not a Moms and Pops. It could be that I was really hungry, I don't know, but this place has been on my radar for awhile. Since Chipotle has turned out to be a big disappointment on many occasions, I just was not in any rush to try this place out. I'm glad I finally did and the next time I come downtown I will definitely be ordering some more food from this place. My tacos was delicious and juicy. I got the chicken and pork. Did I say juicy? Lol I didn't take any pics on this run, but I'll be sure to on the next one.

Gaslighted me into thinking I put wax paper in my meal, what the heck... why would I do that LOL I wasn't even complaining or asking for a refund, I was like sorry excuse me I think you guys accidentally put some cuts of wax paper in my meal

So upset I forgot to take a photo, but I definitely will be back!! This was my first time here and I was extremely pleased. I downloaded the app and got $6 off my first order, so my burrito only came out to like $4 and change!! All of the staff were following COVID protocols, and wearing masks. They also asked to see my ID and vaccination card before dining in, which made me feel very safe. My pork burrito was amazing! The pork was juicy and flavorful. It was stuffed with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, rice, black beans, and corn. I'm drooling just thinking about it! Also, the food was nice and quick. Looking forward to going back!

I've been salivating over Dos Toros' Instagram photos, came in to see if the food tastes as good as it looks... I'm happy to report, the food is legit! Had the Carne Asada burrito, the steak was grilled to perfection, condiments were fresh and well seasoned, both the green and red sauce were on point. I also sampled their chicken taco, serving of meat was generous as were the guac and salsas, great for when you need that extra something to fully fill you up. Staff serves things fast, so be ready with your order before you reach the counter. This place won't accept cash, plastic only. Enjoy!

Dos Toros never disappoints, but Sylvia is exceptional. Thank you for the wonderful food and service

Ordered the Impossible Bowl for pickup. Dos Toros Taqueria reminds me of Chipotle. This was my first time ordering here. I got the Impossible Bowl, which comes with impossible shredded meat (vegetarian!!), rice, pinto beans, corn, cheese, salsa, romaine, sour cream, and tortilla chips! Impossible Bowl: 4/5 Great combination of ingredients. I absolutely LOVED the Impossible meat - such a luxury for a vegetarian to have a different source of protein besides your typical tofu! The order was a bit cold so... definitely a minus there. Service: Staff was nice with arranging my order. The food was somewhat cold and lukewarm, which was a bit disappointing. Price: Similar to Chipotle pricing. Definitely worth trying the Impossible Bowl though if you're vegetarian - it's quite different from the sofritas. Overall, I'd come here again, but next time, hope that my bowl is much more warmer.

My family has always loved this Dos Toros -- fresh, healthy burritos, made to order and a clean, friendly environment. We've been coming here for years. But I want to give a particular shout out to amazing servers Gabby and Leslie.

This used to be a go to spot for me, but last night was sad. They've remodeled the store to take out half of the seating. They've removed the water carafe and glasses, so you're forced to buy a plastic bottle of water. The whole vibe is much more of a "grab and get out" now. Additionally, the actual burrito creation has changed too. They used to start with a, like, 6 inch piece of cheese that they would steam with the tortilla. Now they're using, what looks like, a little single kraft single of cheese. Whenever I'd get a Dos Toros burrito, they'd also be these big old honkers. Last night, after getting all my toppings and adding guac, the thing came back skinny and short. There've definitely been some decisions by "corporate", which, I'm sure are helping the bottom line. But at the end of the day, if you aren't offering the customer a nice experience with a high-quality product, it feels like you're just courting disaster. A note that the staff, as ALWAYS, was kind, professional, skilled, and efficient. Kudos to them all around. My negative experience is that the company itself has intentionally diminished the customer experience and begun to degrade the product.

El mejor servicio que me han dado y la comida es excepciona y la atención es excelente

They have Impossible fake ground beef so unless Chiptole gets it they are now the supreme burrito bowl in my life. I find myself passing this location the most. The staff is super cool. The inside is really small so you may have to take your stuff to go. Everything is flavorful though.

Ashley served me and she is nice and professional, quesdilla was delicious

SUPER GOOD BURRITOS. best place in nyc i definitely recommen, fast and inexpensiv!!!!!

They worse overpriced taco ive had. Like the bottom of sink on wet rag. Taco bell would have been better. Barf city.yuck

WOW! what can i say. Ive been to many Dos Toro restaurants and this is by far the best one ive ever visited!! Extrnemely friendly staff and clean store!! Will be my go to Dos Toros. Shout out to leidy my server super friendly and the manager i think her name is madeline is amazing. love her energy !!

Happened to be waking around Union Square Park at lunch time. I noticed the place was empty with a few seats open, so we walked in and I ordered a chicken bowl with guac, corn, black beans and farro, mild sauce and diced tomato. I have to be honest, i would have definitely wanted to eat it from Chipotle bit i didn't want to walk further. Well, since, we were starving i didnt take a pic, but i will tell you that my bowl was a sad looking bowl. The staff is super friendly, as usual they wanted me to add all the items that bulk up the price of the bowl. So i felt like they only cares about the "Upsell" and not the customer, the chicken it self was dry and not moist and for as much as I always think about giving my hard earned money to small business. I felt my money didn't go far in terms of flavor and quantity. The seats were super uncomfortable, while i get they dont want you to sit for an extended period of time, i certainly would not recommend sitting in the store to eat. This is a grab and go place but the food was just mediocre at best. And for $12 a bowl, because the guacamole adds a $1.89 to the price, my plate was not very tasty. Seems like not enough sauce or tomatoes. Oh well you live and learn. Another issue was they have no bathroom at all, so washing hands is impossible, lucky for me that i always travel with alcohol wipes, and a spare bottle of water for this type inconveniences specially because i knew i was going to be out in the park all day long. Definitely no place to wash my hands, makes the difference but my coworker wanted to eat here and i didnt want to be rude, so i was prepared.

I've been coming here for a few months and the food is always top notch. I had a slight error a few days prior and the manager was very calm and respectful while I explained what happened and handled it beyond my expectations. The staff are extremely well trained and respectful!

Poor Quality Small portion even after paying for double meat. Only good thing is their sauce. Will not return. Back to Chipotle i go !!

Ordered a burrito and a salad to go from here and we really enjoyed the food! It was decently priced and super delicious. Definitely will come back here next time I'm in the neighborhood!

Dull Mexican food with dishes that make chipotle burritos feel upscale. $6 a dish. 2.5/5 stars as a lunch spot.

Don't even want to say the C word in this review (no not the swear, the other fast-casual Mexican competitor). My favorite spot for lunch, and I'm always full and happy after my burrito. Big scoops too! Everyone needs to try Dos Toros and you'll convert
