i joke that i have a dos caminos for home (located on park btw 26/27) and one for work. this is a great restaurant for meeting up with friends. there is always plenty of room and never a wait. the food is excellent, reasonably priced, and the drinks are good too. at night, they tend to play the music kind of loud (i'm such an old fogey) but during brunch they either keep it quiet or have a live jazz band. big fan of the dos caminos brunch. so it was perfect for a little get-together when tony came to town.

pictured is quite possibly my favorite salad in the world. and it's only available at dos caminos' weekend brunch. there's lettuce somewhere in there, but then its topped with roasted corn, chopped onions, fried tortilla strips, spicy chorizo, grilled chicken, chopped tomatoes, and a cilantro-basil vinaigrette. it might also be the unhealthiest salad in the world. anyway, it's delicious. you can also get it with avocado and queso fresco, but i think my version is better.
