La Dos Tres Mexican Cuisine

La Dos Tres is a no-frills taqueria, tienda and panadería in one storefront at 12518 Blue Ridge Blvd Ext in Grandview — a made-to-order counter known for al pastor burritos, oversize tortas (a three-meat cubana), street tacos of lengua and asada, and pupusas, with a bakery case and shelves of Mexican groceries behind it. It opens at 7 a.m. six days a week, closes Mondays, and by customer account began with the owner grilling pastor and asada under a tent in the parking lot before moving the operation inside. It has no website; a Facebook page is its only online presence.

Description

La Dos Tres occupies a small commercial building on the Blue Ridge Boulevard extension, a short distance up the hill from downtown Grandview.¹ A neighborhood guide published by a nearby apartment community calls it “a vibrant, no-frills Mexican restaurant and corner groceria that the locals patronize … known for their tortas, tacos, pupusas, and an extensive street food-like menu,” and relays Google reviewers’ description of “al pastor burritos and in-house-cooked meats with grilling aromas wafting through the downtown air during lunch,” when the place gets crowded.¹ Aggregated reviews add the rest of the picture: meals cooked to order in view of the customer, a bakery counter with cakes and pan dulce, shelves of Mexican grocery items, and staff who are patient across a language barrier.² Restaurantji’s listing says there is no in-house seating; whether that is still true is unconfirmed.²

The dishes customers single out are the al pastor burrito, street tacos (lengua and asada especially), and tortas — the asada and the three-meat cubana — “huge” enough to be two meals.¹³ No first-party menu exists online; the several aggregator “menus” are not used here.

Ownership and history

Nothing first-party is published about the owners. Reviewers on Yelp describe the early operation as an outdoor one: the owner “had a large gas grill set up in the parking lot under a tent and cooked pork al pastor, steak and chicken for tacos, year-round,” and “has since moved the operation inside, and added burritos and tortas, including a 3-meat Torta Cubana.”³ The owner’s name, the opening year, and whether the tienda or the taqueria came first are all unknown. No press coverage was found.
