When Lisa and Vicente Gutierrez launched Dos Hermanos Taco Truck in 2012, all they had was a borrowed food truck and a dream. With just $2,000 in savings and no formal business education, they decided to give the mobile food truck business a chance. Their brand, authentic Oaxacan-style recipes, and dedication to using the best local ingredients, led to long lines and raving fans. Since expanding from a food truck to 4 brick-and-mortar locations, guests can now frequent Dos Hermanos in Easton Town Center, the historic North Market Downtown, the North Market at Bridge Park, and Food Fort 2.0.

Happened upon the outside posted menu of the restaurant while visiting the German Village and was intrigued. Got a same day reservation. The experience was no less than brilliant. The ambiance expertly crafted. The staff exquisitely attentive and as a cook myself, the food was jealously fantastic. Hope I can visit Cento again soon!
