Dos Caminos (Park Ave South)

Dos Caminos is B.R. Guest's Spanish restaurant, which also happens to be a chain now. With 3 restaurants (one in Gramercy, one in SoHo and one in East Midtown), Dos Caminos seems like a force to be reconed with. But, what holds Dos Caminos back from being an outstanding restaurant chain, is the food. Now, I'm only reviewing the Dos Caminos in Gramercy and I have no clue about the other 2, but since the menus are the same I'd assume they'd be similar. First off, Dos Caminos' space is pretty, but nothing to rave about (and is certainly not up to the standards of the famous Buddakan). The one thing that was outstanding and I would return for, is their Guacamole. Their Guacamole is possibly the best I've ever tasted and is 100% worth the $12 I spent on it. But, the pulled pork taco was possibly the blandest thing I've had in a while. The meat was tender, but had no flavor to it; the corn was way to spicy to be edible (to be saying that after surviving The Spice Market's Vindaloo, should raise some questions) and the beans were bland as well. Though the staff is incredibly nice and attentive and the space is pretty, for the price I paid, the only thing I'll be returning for is the Guacamole.
