Dos Toros

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


Skip the national Mexican-food chains in favor of this citywide favorite that promises high-quality meats and veg tucked safely in a sea of thick guacamole and refried beans. Lines can be long (so you know it’s good) but efficient staffers whip up your Tex-Mex treats – burritos, tacos and quesadilla wraps – in minutes.
