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.

We dined here for my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect! The service was fantastic and we really enjoyed talking with the Sommelier, Matt. He gave us some excellent recommendations for wine and was very knowledgeable and kind. He even shared some recommendations for wineries for an upcoming trip to Oregon. The carpaccio was delicious, the endive salad was so refreshing and yummy, and the pasta was great also. It was the best meal I’ve had in a while, and the service and ambiance were awesome. Highly recommend!

Thoughtful menu, excellent ingredients, and beautiful plated. After Leah explained the dishes we couldn’t help but order the chefs tasting menu and every dish was perfection. Great wine selection too and our waitress Leah even knew fun details of the winery and winemaker. The passion for food and craft is evident in every detail. Will be bragging about this meal and returning soon! One of the best picks in Columbus and a must if you appreciate Italian cuisine.
