"Start off with the aguachile verde campechano ($18), a bright and punchy mix of squid, octopus, and shrimp with a kick of heat. Dolores offers a taco that changes based on the day. Recently, the albondigas al chipotle, filled with smoky, saucy, tender meatballs, were a highlight ($8 to $20). A few dishes on the menu call back to Mexico City icons."
"Mexican spirits get the spotlight. For a crushable drink, try one of the highballs, both infused with spices: sumac in the draft Paloma adds another layer of tartness, while the tropical-leaning Batanga infuses Jerk spices into its reposado tequila base. Ingredients like sotol, Mexican rum, and tepache can be hard to come by at other New York bars, so if you haven't tried them, this is the place to do it. (Cocktails are $16.)"
Dolores is a new bar from the team behind nearby Winona's, frequently drawing lines and spilling customers onto the street. The menu emphasizes dialed-in cocktails, Mexican botanas, and rotating daily taco specials. Recommended starters include the aguachile verde campechano with squid, octopus, and shrimp, and the albondigas al chipotle featuring smoky, saucy tender meatballs. Menu items nod to Mexico City classics, with cochinita pibil tacos inspired by El Turix and enchiladas modeled on El Sella. Mexican spirits such as sotol, Mexican rum, and tepache feature prominently; highballs use spices like sumac and jerk-infused reposado. Cocktails are $16. The space is playful, with bar games, outdoor seating, and art deco booths indoors.
