"Looking for a taste of the Bay Area's Gordo Taqueria in New York (down to having the exact same chairs)? Dos Toros learned from the best. $1 bag of chips is a steal."

"Avoid coming on Saturdays--service is ridiculously slow, and even slower when they misplace your pants."

"Most of the space is shut down as they prep for a new installation. Can't walk the ramps at all. Don't bother coming until they're done on February 4, 2011."

"Get ready to wait. Or stay home so the line moves faster for me!"

"Only 24-hour spot in town. Chocolate old fashion and powdered jelly donuts are best with a side of lotto scratchers."

"Try to snag the comfy leather armchair to the right and around the corner from the front door. And don't miss the food--grilled corned beef & gruyere with a side of fries and a plate of pickles."
