| - If Agave had an ugly sister her name would be Dos Caminos.
I had a hard time rating between a two and three star experience. But with so many downers the three star rating seemed fair for a first time experience.
I'll start with the good news: The mole enchiladas, the kids meal sliders and the corn bread skillet were 5 stars!
Okay, now for the bad news:
Having been a fan of the old pink decor that Agave had, I wasn't a fan of the brown dark interior. The music and vibe felt more like a nightclub and the restaurant was really loud and no "Mexican" music was playing which tells me...not your "typical" Mexican food restaurant.
We waited 15-20 minutes for a table and we sat near the kitchen which loses its charm if you're not outside or in the "kiva" near the bar.
Waitress seemed overwhelmed so she was more like an order taker than a friendly waitress. No smile, no "Welcome to DC is this your first time here? Let me recommend... ". Instead it was "what can I get you to drink and are you having the guacamole?" No I didn't order the guac.
Personally, with so many restaurants in Vegas they should be going out of their way to welcome customers and make recommendations off the menu.
Kids menu offered mini sliders, quesadillas and tacos so I thought the menu was a bit limited. They do bring out bendos and crayons and a menu to color on so that is always a plus with me.
Food took FOREVER to come out it was at least 45 minutes! But at least it was semi-worth it. Definately made to order meals, not a premaid frozen or slapped together mess, just fresh delicious upscale presentations.
I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas and they were good, I don't think I would order them again though. They were very spicy served New Mexico style-flat with layers of sauce, spinach and cheese, but needed more sour cream.
My sister ordered the mole enchiladas and wow! Those were winners! Her dish looked amazing with zigzag crema and nicely sliced julienne radishes.
Kids ordered sliders and they were yummy...I know because I took one bite then I had to have another! My other sister ordered a hamburger, which she liked and that woman is hard to please.
Menu is a bit different than your typical Mexican restaurant, lots of hamburgers to choose from...?
Waitress did us no favors by explaining the slant on the menu or restaurant not that we would be able to hear her anyway since it was so loud.
Chips and three salsa's came out. Nothing fabulous about the salsa just mild, medium and HOT, taste was okay but too watery.
The winner was definitely corn bread skillet! OMG they should be adding this to the appetizers menu, or offering it as a sample or a side because this was delicious! Moist warm tasty a bit creamy with a little bit of spice and perfect to share. It's hidden on the "sides" section of the menu. Order this for sure!
Overall, I wouldn't come running back. Maybe I was there on an off night?
UPDATE: I did hear back from the restaurant so I always appreciate feedback! All very positive..so for that maybe I'll stop in for a Margarita and give Dos Caminos one more chance.
