Dos Perros Enchiladas

Lamb enchiladas with tomato/red pepper salsa, shredded cabbage, avocado and queso fresco

Last week, restaurants in the Triangle teamed up to celebrate the best dining around with Triangle Restaurant Week. Each participating restaurant offered up a prix fixe 3-course lunch and dinner menu to showcase their unique brand of cuisine. 

Myself and a few friends stopped by Dos Perros. True to form, the restaurant presented us with a menu that featured authentic Mexican dishes with a gourmet twist. The “omnivore menu” included shrimp-quinoa fritters with caramelized green pineapple salsa, pork ribs braised in tamarind, cinnamon and orange peel, and flan “impossible.” 

Vegetarians weren't left out, as Dos Perros also served up a flavorful vegetarian menu consisting of green plantain tamale filled with lentils and mushrooms, soy “chicken” pozole and coconut-pineapple sorbet. 

Everything was tasty, of course, but Dos Perros got the most points for its inventiveness. The prix fixe menu allowed us to experience just what makes this downtown favorite unique.

Only 363 days until restaurant week hits the Triangle again. Let the countdown begin!
