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.

It was out first time visiting this restaurant and we really liked the design and layout. Our server was really friendly and did an excellent job. Chips were really good as is their guac and salsa. Got the 3 tacos and only gave 4 stars for food because I like shredded/pulled chicken, tacos came with diced chicken. Also couldn’t add meat to the tacos even for an up charge. I just like to add chorizo to everything and couldn’t. Staff and everyone were friendly and it’s a pretty cool little restaurant.
