Dos Perros is our answer to what has amounted to a frustrating compromise in Mexican cuisine in the Triangle and beyond. One can find a delicious authentic taco by going to a traditional taqueria, but that often comes at the expense of atmosphere– waiting in line, eating on a paper plate at a formica table under florescent lights; quaint, but hardly date-night material and often without even a decent margarita. To get a slightly more refined version, your only other option is typically a Southwestern or Tex-Mex styled fine dining restaurant. It’s as if, as soon as any effort is put into the design or ambiance, there’s a need to somehow Americanize the food; that the rich culinary heritage of Mexico does not produce a noble enough cuisine to be honored by an elevated setting without somehow changing it first.
Well, that doesn’t need to be the case. At Dos Perros, we will honor that rich culinary heritage by serving classic Mexican cuisine alongside a thoughtful beverage program in an updated but warmly styled space. This isn’t formal dining; it’s simply a step up to a place that can be event dining as much as dining before an event.

Is there parking specifically for restaurant patrons? If not, what are some options (particularly, at dinnertime)?

Hi, Heidi –
Parking is available in a city parking lot directly across the street from our building. You pay to park there unless you leave after 7:00 p.m. – then you can exit for free. There’s also street parking, usually in two-hour increments, until 6:00 p.m. After that, street parking is free as well.

Do you have vegan options? Thanks!

Yes, we do. A number of dishes on our menu are vegan and others still that can be modified to be vegan; just ask our servers. Thanks!
