When Lisa and Vicente Gutierrez launched Dos Hermanos Taco Truck in 2012, all they had was a borrowed food truck and a dream. With just $2,000 in savings and no formal business education, they decided to give the mobile food truck business a chance. Their brand, authentic Oaxacan-style recipes, and dedication to using the best local ingredients, led to long lines and raving fans. Since expanding from a food truck to 4 brick-and-mortar locations, guests can now frequent Dos Hermanos in Easton Town Center, the historic North Market Downtown, the North Market at Bridge Park, and Food Fort 2.0.

Great Italian food with several pasta dishes. Always get the Giant Meatball starter. Wonderful service. You feel a little packed in with tables tight together and rather noisy. Overall very good spot in Short North.

From the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.
