Dos Toros’ Carnitas Burrito Might Be Worth the Subway Ride
Remember that new Union Square California style burrito spot you guys went crazy for in the forums a few months ago? Well, I was treated to a fine lunch there by Ed Levine last week and today he reviewed the place over on Serious Eats: New York. He was a big fan of the quesadillas, and preferred the chicken and steak over the carnitas (which he thought was dry.) I can’t speak for anything else on the menu, but I actually enjoyed my carnitas burrito more than any other carnitas burrito I’ve ever had in NYC (although I admit that is not saying much.) They don’t off all the different ingredients properly (beans, meat, pico de gallo) so the integrity of the burrito was severely compromised after a few bites (very disappointing), but I thought the taste was there. Regardless of its faults, the choice between hopping on the Q train or going to Chipotle is no choice at all. (And Serious Eats agrees… they did a side by side Chipotle taste test and Dos Toros easily won.)

Anyone know if they’ve changed their guacamole recipe since they opened? I went about a week after they opened and thought the gaucamole tasted like paste, but now SE is saying it’s awesome?
