    Delicious food, drinks, etc. Waiter was super nice. Felt a little rushed - drinks and food came out super quickly - but it was a Saturday night so they needed the table. In and out in 45 minutes- but everything else was great.

    My experience at caracara was very nice. We had the guacamole for starters. We also had  Tacos De Camarones, Quesadilla, and  Nachos De La Casa with shrimp. For drinks we had frozen sangria, espresso martini, and margaritas. Everything was great. The waitress was extremely kind and pleasant. My friend did not like her first entree so the waitress took it back nicely and gave a recommendation that turned out to be good. Overall the service was great and the food was good. Everyone was nice and checked on us throughout our dinner. Definitely recommend.

    I had looked at around 20 different places and found Dos Caminos. Upstairs is a bar/lounge area and downstairs was the restaurant, both were so cute! We had a wonderful time! The Food & Drinks were exactly what we were looking for. I got a vodka blood orange mojito & my fiancé got a smoked pineapple margarita and both were so good. We also got the queso & taquitos which were delicious. For mains he got the chicken rancheros & I got the Birria taco, again everything was delicious. Would definitely come back here!
