    TINGA QUESADILLA
    Ed D.

    We went on a Friday evening and we were seating at one of the high tables right away. There was a good amount of people in the restaurant. The plantains were yummy and they added a little bit of rock salt which was different but I kinda like the sweet and salt combo. We got the chicken quesadilla which was so tasty with a good amount of cheese. We also ordered the fish tacos, barbacoa tacos and tinga chicken tacos. All of them were packed and were very tasty. Our server was very good. He did take a super long time to give us our check but that's ok since it gave me and my friend a chance to talk. Overall a good meal and experience.

    Great dinner tonight with friends! DEFINITELY get a margarita. The blood orange and the spicy passionfruit ones were great. Then for sure get tacos, the beer battered fish, steak, and taco of the month were the table favorites. If you want an app, get the poke nachos-- soooo good. But you can skip the chips & salsa and the cojita cheese dip.

    Big bar and fun friendly bartender! Pazole was good not chilie forward. The shrimp taco was so good. The batter was light and all the things on top were on point. The house margs were perfect! Add some more chilie depth the the pazole and it will be 5 stars

    Hadn't been to Dos Santos in a while, and was glad we returned for the Agave Challenge. We were greeted and seated right away, but the restaurant filled up quickly and had the three staff members (manager, bartender, host/server) scrambling. I appreciated how they all chipped in to help, but there was a lag between orders and items being delivered to our table. There are many seating options available in this rusticly decorated restaurant. Most are high-tops, and the four low-tops that are available are placed very close together and all conversations can be heard. Our drinks were carefully crafted and delicious. The Summertime Sipper was a refreshing mix of fresh cucumber, jalapeno, tequila, and lime. The Quince Sour was a bit sweeter with lavender syrup, quince, mezcal, and egg white. Food is fresh and made to order. The poke nachos were an excellent start to our meal and arrived quickly. Full of fresh ahi tuna with sesame and sriracha aioli, served over house chips. The cup of pozole was served in a mug--perfect for sipping the broth. The tacos were great. The beer-battered shrimp was lightly battered with good flavor. The star was the barbacoa beef. A flavor bomb of sweet marinated beef with kimchi and sriracha aioli. I won't wait as long as I did before to return to Dos Santos.

    Dos Santos for the win! Yummy tacos, yummy poke nachos, yummy drinks. It all was really delicious. I am not a fish eater by any means, but the poke nachos were stellar! By far, the best taco on their menu was the Barbacoa beef tacos. The meat was so tender, so well flavored, so very, very delicious! I will go back just for that taco! Drinks were also good. Dos Santos is participating in the Agave Challenge through the month of June. Their drinks were stellar and by far the best I've had so far. Servers were very nice, but were very busy and we had to wait a little bit for drinks, food, and check. They did their best. They did not have a couple of items on the menu as they were out of stock. Pro tip- they charge a 3% fee if you use a credit card and do not do split checks. However, the cute decor and set up as well as the barbacoa beef made up for all that. I will be returning!

    Taco 'bout a great place!! My mom, sister and I went for lunch yesterday and we sat outside to enjoy the nice weather. It wasn't too busy for lunch which was nice. Since it was taco Tuesday it was 2 for 1 margs, and 2 different types of tacos (I think?) we got hibiscus margs and my mom ordered a coin marg. It was delish! I wish it was a tad sweeter but it was still good! I ordered the barbacoa taco, the battered shrimp. Both were so freaking delicious! The barbacoa taco has a great Asian twist to it and OMG it was so fantastic!!! The shrimp taco was a little too big for the tortilla if you ask me with all the toppings on it but it was still super tasty!! I can't remember what my sister and mom had but they both enjoyed theirs. We also had some plantains which came with a sweet crema and they were a nice sweet treat to end the meal.

    Awesome little hip vibe inside with a nice patio. Delicious little street tacos and some fun apps a little bit of a raw fish bar selection too. Yummy drinks and HH-- had the chicken Tinga taco and shrimp taco so good! Would definitely go back

    Where do I begin? This is my must stop in Denver. The interior is very cute and at night the lights are dimmed and romantic. The monthly drinks and tacos make this a fun place to keep coming back to. The cauliflower taco is perfect! Also vegetarians...you can get the crunchy beef taco and substitute for black beans. I recommend a basil lime shot to end your meal!

    Great service and the food was tasty. I was a little put off by the very low lighting. Had to use my phone flashlight to see the small letters on the menus. That said I am familiar with their menu. I brought my daughter for the first time and we ordered the flight of margaritas! Because it was her first time there the waitress brought us a taste of the basil margarita too! We had the taquitos and chips and salsa to go with the margs. We decided then to just get a couple tacos. I got the fish and she order one of my favorite...Chicken tinga taco and the beer battered shrimp taco. Like the fish taco it has habanero and a kick! She was happy and I look like a cool mom!

    This spot is a treasure! I dined here with relatives and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The music was upbeat (a bit on the louder side for conversation) and set the tone for a fun ambiance. The service was top-notch: friendly, enthusiastic, and prompt. The menu displayed an eclectic array of tacos and various other Mexican dishes. Among the three of us, each person tried 2-3 different tacos and they were all flavorful and aesthetically appealing. I'd like to come back for the all day happy hour or taco Tuesday!

    Love this little gem in Uptown! Great Mexican ambiance with great food and even better drinks; happy hour specials are amazing! Kitchen Manager Jhonattan has some amazing skills in the kitchen and his staff is great!

    Great place for tacos with friends. I enjoyed their Hibiscus Limeade with the steak taco and eskites (street corn). We were able to be seated quickly with a group of 8, and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

    Cute little spot. Burrito bowl was a surprise of flavors; the added barbacoa had an Asian inspired flavor which was unexpected. The service was good. They weren't busy since we arrived fairly soon after they opened on Sunday. The Mahi taco was delish, the chicken was actually mediocre. I think the tacos were a smidge overpriced but that's just me.

Two others had a couple of the special cocktails on the menu and loved them. We decided to order six appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts.

Standout dishes were the qual, clams, borscht, warm salad and the desserts. The place is small so reservations advised. Wait staff and cooks are friendly. Aside - one person in our party wasn't enthused about Eastern European cuisine and was a convert by the end. If you enjoy well-prepared, delicious food full of taste, check out Molotov.

He gave us recommendations and was proud of how much food we ordered between two asian women. The affirmation paired well with the food. Our favorite was the Clambasa. I was worried the kielbasa would overpower the littleneck clams but it was perfect together. You can taste all the ingredients in the dish well. The bone marrow was gone before I could take a picture---rightfully so. But the horseradish mustard blew my mind. The ONLY reason I'm not raving anout the Shuba salad is because a good friend of mine makes it so much better. No skin off of Molotov's back at all, homemade at custom to me will always win. The quail was a disappointing. I didn't notice that the sauce was listed as BBQ. I could not taste the quail. By the time the Porchetta came, we were readilly full...but that didn't matter. Crisp, fatty and flavorful. I recommend the horseradish horilka for all the dishes. Lastly, the pistachio blintz. "Not too sweet," is the Asian's highest praise to any dessert and this deserves it. LOVELY and light. A perfect end to a rich and savory dinner. And no, do not pair this with the horseradish horlike (just in case you were wondering). For this visit, my sister and I decided to sit in the patio area and sit under their local resident regular, the squirell in the tree (his name is Vlad, but his street name is Chad). But next time, I would op to sit inside. It is very cozy with PLENTY of things for your eyes to scrutinize. The first visit was not enough to take everything in, both visually and gastricly (no more room left). A repeat visit is warranted and highly recommended.
