After holding a health seminar in the area my friend and I decided to grab a dinner before heading home. Dolores was a perfect find for this freezing winter evening. The cozy space was welcoming, our server Jeff was attentive and friendly ensuring we had our drinks and order taken in a timely fashion. The decor and ambiance is not only welcoming but cozy with a hint of culture that brings back a classic vibe that you know the food is coming from the heart and when you take the first bite, you truly feel like you’re at home.

We had the chicken soup that is freshly made by the owner daily, the guac and chips is a true staple dish that was not only fresh but full of flavor. I strongly recommend the Tlacoyo De Haba that was full of rich flavors with the perfect amount of spice and a fresh salad of Nopales. I also ordered two tacos for the table- El Rey (Short Ribs) and Lengua “El Bosque” (Braised Beef tongue). The short ribs were full of authentic flavors and spice but the true star was the beef tongue. I could eat those tacos every day. It’s braised to perfection and almost melts in your mouth.

Their guava flan was the highlight of the evening ending on a sweet note with delicious caramel flavors topped with what I believe was a crème fraîche . I highly recommend this place to enjoy an evening out for some delicious authentic Mexican food and just a chill environment for a get together.

Just come here for the vibes. The Chile relleno taco was outstanding. But everything else was underwhelming. The ambience is friendly and inviting. But the reviews on the food are not true. $8 for a Carne Asada taco is not only pricey, but the taste doesn’t match the price. I would also skip the Cochinita Pibil tacos, as all the juice is just left on the plate and not coming directly from the meat. The pickled onions in the tacos were pretty good. I’ve come here two times already. Both on a Monday evening after 10 PM as the kitchen closes at 11 PM , and you can just walk in instead of waiting more than an hour. Both times the service has been AMZAZING. But the cocktails don’t deliver. There’s no complexity in the drinks. There’s no contrast or flavors that complement one another. these are drinks that can most likely be made at your local dive bar for half the price (the presentation juat won’t be as nice) . I would go back. But just to get chills relleno taco, I need to try the Aguachile, and they also have Modelo Negra on draft which is always a plus. 3/5 stars

Great place! I went for brunch and got myself some chilaquiles and a michelada, the perfect hangover combo.

The chilaquiles were the real deal, like the ones I had in Mexico, perhaps a bit spicy, but that was part of the experience. Buenísimos.

Shout out to Beto at the bar too. He’s such a friendly guy.

Now I need go back for some mezcalitos.

An absolute gem and great addition to Tompkins ave! Despite being recently opened, it’s incredibly well managed and clearly run by pros. This is elevated Mexican fare — possibly even better than meals I’ve had in Mexico City. The food is unbelievably fresh and bursting with flavor, and the drinks are just as impressive, perfectly balanced and full of personality. Yes, there’s usually a wait, but it’s always worth it for the quality and atmosphere you get here. Highly recommend!

Cool space and vibe, food was good but nothing was superb. The el Rey tacos, aguachile, and croquettes were good. Cochinita tacos can be skipped, a bit too soggy for my liking.

I highly recommend checking this place out! The ambience and vibes are welcoming and cozy. The cocktails have wonderful complex flavors, and the food is really good too. I’m a sucker for good guac and chips and they were a 10 out of 10 for me. can’t wait to go back!

So glad I finally got a seat at Dolores! We showed up around 4:45pm on a Sunday and managed to grab a table and enjoy a round of cocktails before the kitchen opened at 5.

The food is mostly small bites, tapas-style, so I’d recommend going with at least a group of four so you can share. The dish of the day was green enchiladas and was very delicious. The aguachiles were also poppin’.

We tried (a lot) of cocktails and there were some real hits! In no particular order- the house marg with smoky salt, the strawberry michelada (!!), the tequila/aperol/passionfruit hot sauce one, and the tepache cocktail.

Staff was sweet, vibes were chill – can’t wait to come back!

Had this place saved and was excited to go. Food was good, drinks were better but can’t help but feel the price point is way off. The $8 al pastor quesadilla was the lowlight—street taco sized with less meat and flavor. Got the special of the night—$25 verde enchiladas—hoping that they’d do something, well, special. Not really. It was good but for $25 for three small enchiladas with a bowl of rice and beans, I wanted great. Sobre masa tortillas were a good touch but can’t get behind that price. Cocktails were worth it but food portions to price ratio was all the way off. Not a ton of Mexican to compete with in the area so maybe that’s part of it. Maybe I ordered wrong, too, but not wowed/curious enough to come back. Overall, my meal was good, not great with prices that disappointed.

Another new amazing place for the neighborhood! Dolores is a small restaurant so expect there to be a wait but it’s worth it! We waited and 1.5 hours and just went to a bar down the street. The Aguachile is a must get along with the beans.
