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.

Cojita dip

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

POKE NACHOS
Edie A.

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!

beer battered fish taco
Dionne V.

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!

Rachel M.

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!

Steak tacos
Aundya A.

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.

Hibiscus Limeade
Ceresa W.

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.

This is the Michelin restaurant that you go to if you like a more casual / less stuffy experience. Food: 4 Every dish that we ordered was delicious, but slightly on the heavy side without anything light/acidic to break it up. Perhaps it's because of what we chose to order though! Frijoles Puerco: This was a play on refried beans and chorizo. The chorizo has a little kick to it. The sourdough tortillas were delicious and served fresh and warm. Callo De Hacha Al Horno: The scallops were a flavor bomb served in a serrano ponzu and tomato butter. I'm unsure why the scallops were cut into smaller pieces instead of left whole... Enmoladas De Pollo: This was essentially chicken enchiladas cooked in mole so I was skeptical if I would find this dish worthwhile. They proved me wrong as this was one of the best dishes of the night. The mole was flavorful, not too heavy, and the chicken enchilada was so well cooked. Birria De Borrego: The lamb shank was cooked until it was fork tender. After taking it apart, wrap it in a fresh and warm tortilla with refried corn beans and salsa. The lamb was well cooked and made for a good balanced bite, but it did feel special. Service: 5 We set at the chef table and was able to watch as they finished and plated each dish. The chef was attentive without being overbearing/annoying and we had a good conversation with him. Food came out at a good pace. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is small and cozy. It didn't feel stifling or pretentious as other fine dining restaurants can sometimes feel. This would be perfect for a date or dinner with friends.

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

Service was excellent, and the food was lowkey incredible. We shared the small elote dip (elote is always a hit) + ribeye + marisco molcajete, and downed almost the entire basket of chips + salsa (husband even needed some of that green sauce to go and they delivered). We ended up also ordering churros to go (easily reheated in the microwave, who knew) and this was like, the first time I've ever *truly* raved about churros (I think because this time they were really dense, which I loved). We alsooo didn't realize that Sunday was all-day happy hour, so some cheap (and very strong) margs didn't hurt either. Will absolutely be back!

The flavors set in nicely and reminded me of the wonderful time the previous night. I would certainly return!

A great way to leave your comfort zone and try whatever they are featuring for a reduced price. Their variety of curated mezcal is a great way to start and make progress on your mezcal journey.

We walked in to find it pretty well occupied around noon, but still with some empty tables. We were seated right away. The decor was lovely. It was primarily natural, earthy tones, with succulents, and a big pop of color with bright murals above the bar, creating a warm glow. I was vaguely familiar with Chef Richard Sandoval due to his brief appearance on Top Chef, but didn't know too much about his cuisine. The brunch has a really fun and original idea in that you can order bottomless small plates for $42 per person or bottomless food and drinks for $59 in person, with a two-hour limit. I would have loved to try that, but we had a lot of plans that day so opted for the à la carte menu. I chose a mimosa and my friend chose a michelada. for our drinks We shared the ceviche. I ordered the chicken tinga enchiladas, while my friend ordered the fish tacos. We shared all of the food. The ceviche was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I enjoyed the enchiladas. The portion was generous. I wasn't too fond of the tacos. There was nothing wrong with them, aside from the fact that I don't like breaded fish, but they just didn't have a ton of flavor. I will say service started strong, but then fell off a bit. Our server and food runner were friendly, but it was hard to get extra utensils when we needed them.
