Verdict
Dos Caminos at 475 W Broadway in SoHo is permanently closed. If you're searching for it, stop here: there is nothing to book, no reservation to make, and no reason to make the trip. The space is gone. What follows is context for anyone piecing together what it was and where to go instead.
What It Was
Dos Caminos operated as a mid-tier Mexican restaurant and bar concept with multiple Manhattan locations before closing its doors. The SoHo outpost on West Broadway was part of that broader footprint, positioned for the neighbourhood's mix of weekend brunchers, after-shopping diners, and pre-night-out crowds. It was never a destination for serious Mexican cooking or a standout cocktail program by New York standards, but it served a reliable margarita and a crowd-friendly table format that worked for groups. In the city's current bar scene, that positioning has been taken over by sharper, more focused venues with clearer identities. The closure reflects a broader shakeout in the casual-upscale Mexican category across Manhattan. If the guacamole-and-margarita format was what you were after, you can find that done better at several SoHo and Lower Manhattan alternatives today.
Where to Go Instead
For Mexican-inflected cocktails and a bar program that actually has a point of view, Superbueno is the current answer in New York. If you want something more bitters-focused and spirit-forward, Amor y Amargo on East 6th is one of the city's most deliberate amaro and bitters bars and easy to get into. For a classic neighbourhood bar with a strong cocktail list and genuine atmosphere, Angel's Share in the East Village or Attaboy NYC on Eldridge Street are both worth the trip. Neither requires far advance planning on most nights.

Comparing Dos Caminos to its SoHo and Lower Manhattan peers makes the closure easier to understand. Superbueno does what Dos Caminos aimed at, accessible, Mexican-inspired cocktails with a festive atmosphere, but with a tighter, more considered bar program and a clearer identity. It's the more direct replacement if you're after that format, and it's easy to book most nights.
Amor y Amargo sits at the opposite end of the casual-vs-serious spectrum: a small, bitters-obsessed bar on the East Side with no real food to speak of, but a spirit-forward program that puts Dos Caminos' margarita-and-guac model in sharp relief. If the cocktail program was the draw for you, Amor y Amargo is the better call. Angel's Share and Attaboy NYC offer stronger all-round cocktail experiences with genuine craft pedigree at comparable or lower price points, both are easier to book than their reputations suggest.
The honest read: Dos Caminos occupied a middle ground that the current New York bar scene has largely abandoned. The venues that replaced it in the casual-upscale category have either leaned harder into craft or leaned harder into value. For your next booking, pick a side, Superbueno for fun and accessibility, Amor y Amargo for seriousness, rather than the middle ground Dos Caminos held.
