An out of the box taco spot with good drinks too. Their tacos are very unique and quite tasty with a ton of options. This is what I hope for out of $5+ taco. Great service and a really cool vibe. Fits right into the nashville vibe for a great late night hang. read more

I must be taking it TOO seriously because I know that "branding" is all about curating the scene but I also believe in organic flow to grow. The ambiance is totally curated. Music, visuals, personalities between the employees ... scary honestly. Another thing I don't like is that they wanted to close at 8:45 when their closing time is at 10:30. That was weird and they had a lot of people in there. They do have good margaritas and they seem to have a nice patio for when the weather is nice. I don't know about the food. It's was ok. Parking could be tricky as well. read more

Great happy hour deals. I got the Basil Limeade drink which was similar to a mojito and was really tasty! The tinga chips were good but a little cold, might have been the cheese sauce. The quesadilla was really good. Nothing had ton of flavor like I expected but enjoyable meal for the price. Parking is a bit difficult you have to drive around for a street spot. The restaurant is very cute inside. Service was good as well very quick. read more

The food and hour marg overall is good, especially for the happy hour price. Service is decent with outdoor seating and dark ambient lighting inside. They do have a small menu and parking is difficult to find. 7.5/10 read more

Love this place! Such a cozy intimate vibe even though there is plenty of space. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. I typically am able to park out front. But there is side street parking as well. This is a great happy hour spot. The chicken tinga chips and an order of plantains is plenty to fill me up. Plus the drinks are delicious. I was craving soup and ordered pozole the last time I went and it didn't disappoint. Most of the servers and staff are amazing. There is one that always has an attitude though. Great place for groups. It's typically not overwhelmingly packed when I go. read more

Verdict: solid brunch, really good drinks, chill atmosphere. Gonna add them to our brunch rotation for sure. We showed up before noon on a Sat and it was kinda dead, but we don't know why. We were immediately seated outside and the weather was gorgeous. The bloody Mary was damn near perfect, tangy and spicy. Both of us followed that up with the chilaquiles (which if you read any of my old reviews, you'll know I'm a connoisseur of), and they were truly solid: crispy chips, spicy (but not too hot) sauce, perfectly fried egg, and flavorful chicken tinga. I'm a bigger fan of chorizo chilaquiles, but these were still bomb. Service was friendly throughout. A little pricey at the end of the day, but really just Nashville average at this point. read more

First things first I love the location and ambiance of this restaurant. As far as food and beverages it kind of fell flat for me. I had three street tacos the chicken, steak, and fish. The chicken 10/10, steak 5/10 it needs some seasoning. I felt this was the one had to use more sauce with. Fish 7/10 it was crispy and soggy at the same time. The flavor profile on this one wasn't lacking I just wish the fish was crispy throughout. I would recommend getting the dipping sauces the red and green sauce 10/10 the brown sauce was not my favorite 3/10 in my opinion it tasted like liquid smoke. I also had aqua Fresca very refreshing not sweet at all but refreshing. I mixed Hibiscus and another flavor together solid 8/10. Some of the ladies I was dining with mentioned that the cocktails were phenomenal. Service was okay on this day. I just wish we had a little more rounding after the meal was brought out just to ensure everything was okay. They do offer validation if you park in the garage. Overall I would return especially for the cocktails and ambiance. read more

Great place to hangout with some friends and get some tacos and margs to a date night. Very cool and modern vibe with low lighting. Went here with some friends and ordered the marg flight, birria tacos, cauliflower tacos and some queso (wasn't on the menu but they made it happen!). Food overall was very good. The queso wasn't quite as smooth as I anticipated; but to be fair, the staff did say that it isn't on the menu yet and that they're perfecting the recipe. I think my favorite marg was the orange, I'd definitely order that again (honestly they were all great though). Staff was friendly but could've given better service. Not bad, just low attentiveness and didn't thank us/say goodbye when we left. Not a deal breaker but worth a mention. Definitely will be stopping back again! read more

I've visited twice and unfortunately had the same experience both times. The food is overpriced for what you get, with very small portions that didn't feel satisfying.

Stumbled across the restaurant walking to another establishment. Doubled back, curious to see what it looked like on the inside. It was lovely. Very dimly lit and romantic. I opted to get a flight for a little variety. The flight was smaller than expected but the drinks were good. They have a daily Happy Hour 3-6 and it's all day on Mondays. Will definitely be visiting again soon. read more

Obsessed with this place! I have been here FOUR separate occasions within the last month! The ambiance is chill, day time indoor seating is very dark and dim, night time it feels modern bojo, the LA vibe. (the transplants!) Things to note: 1. THE LATE NIGHT MENU available ONLY ON Friday & Saturday - does not include non meat friendly options other than a cheese quesadilla and chips and Guacamole/Salsa. **Note, their daytime menu includes lots of pescatarian, and Vegetarian Options** 2. MONDAY ALL DAY Happy Hour menu states $7 for House Margs. - Per Menu provided (see pictures) it's not clear that the special is only for REGULAR MARGS and not the flavors. Ex. Spicy Passion Fruit and Hibiscus and other flavors are regular price at $15 dollars each. The staff has gone above and beyond to remedy the confusion and accommodate dietary needs when necessary. I still would recommend this place to anyone, but like any new restaurant, there are still some kinks to work out. Regardless, a definite recommendation (I have been here 4 times in the month)! read more

I had an ok visit to Dos Santos on Thursday night, but it had some hiccups. I came in with a group of ladies for dinner and we were seated quickly. It felt like a trendy, Tulum restaurant with loud music and cool decor. Unfortunately they have a mix of real chairs with a back and these very heavy wooden stumps with no back that were difficult to move. I'll let you guess which ones we got. I love that they offer a combo guak and skinny margarita pitcher special for $67, so we opted for that. We also added on the green and red salsas (these are not complimentary nor are their hot sauces) with chips which came out quickly. The skinny margarita "pitcher" was actually a carafe and took a significant amount of time to arrive for the restaurant not being very busy. We all ordered some tacos, the tuna sashimi, shrimp coctel, and chopped salad. The tacos were good, but if you are hungry will need probably 3 of them. The group favorite was the governors shrimp and the taco of the month- the mahi. The chicken tinga was good and had a lot of meat but nothing mind-blowing. I enjoyed the salad for something light. The real star of the meal was the tuna sashimi. It was so flavorful and delicious with fresh jalapeños and fantastic fish. It was the best part of the meal. I did not like the shrimp coctel at all and it reminded me of a fishy Bloody Mary. The service was just OK, and it took an even longer time for the second carafe of margaritas to come out. Like it was 30 minutes long for it to get to us. The server apologized for the delay when we asked where it was, but didn't offer any discount to our bill which is a huge pet peeve when there is a significant delay or miss. Oh well. Dos Santos seems like more of a happy hour place for me in the future. read more

I started with an order of chips and guacamole, which was so good and packed with a fusion of flavors: lime, jalapeno, onion, pico de gallo, and cotija. For my entree I ordered three tacos -- two Mushroom Boomers and one Cauliflower. The mushroom was my favorite - the sautéed mushrooms were flavorful and were elevated by the grilled cotija cheese, guacamole and salsa verde. The cauliflower was good but the (I'm guessing) molcajete salsa was somewhat overpowering, so the cotija and guacamole were somewhat lost. The cauliflower themselves were cooked well, though. The tacos were street style, so they weren't huge. I found three to be just the right number for my appetite (along with copious chips and guacamole). We didn't have a dedicated waiter or waitress, but everyone who checked in on us was very nice and prompt. I don't think I've ever complained or a restaurant or bar being too dark, so this is a first for me -- it was too dark! I could barely read the menu but was too embarrassed to use my phone for light. Otherwise, I liked the ambiance and decor inside. read more

This restaurant is gorgeous! Service was great. Playlist a little loud but 10/10. Food was good. We got chicken tinga tacos, crunchy beef, and fish tacos. The fish tacos were hands down our favorite. The chicken tinga tasted good but was too saucy. My husband said the crunchy beef taco wasn't anything special. He also ordered an Oaxaca old fashioned made with mezcal. It was really good. Loved the jalapeño ice cube! I'd come back for the vibes! read more

I will start by saying, the 2 stars came from the quality of the margaritas only. We arrived at 6:45 PM for a 7:00 reservation and immediately walked into chaos. The hosts were visibly stressed and unfriendly, and despite having a reservation we were not seated until 7:10. Water did not arrive until 7:20, and our first margaritas came out at 7:35 -- almost an hour after we arrived. The margaritas were fantastic. Unfortunately, that was the only thing this restaurant got right. Our first appetizer took over 20 minutes to arrive. The second round of margaritas took another 30+ minutes, and at no point did our server acknowledge delays, apologize, or communicate anything to the table. Had someone simply managed expectations, we would have been far more understanding. Then our next appetizer arrived with no silverware on the table. We had to physically get out of our booth and track down a food runner ourselves. After searching around for several minutes, he handed us a random stack of utensils while acting irritated that we asked. The second margaritas eventually arrived in plastic cups and plastic bags because the restaurant had run out of glassware. Fine -- it was Cinco de Mayo. But the entire night felt completely unmanaged. We repeatedly flagged down food runners and other servers for basic requests, only for each of them to never return. My sister's fish taco then came out wrong twice. After the second mistake, the correct taco did not arrive until over 30 minutes later -- at the exact same time as dessert. No apology. No acknowledgment. Nothing. Just fish & chocolate to cap off our evening (YUM!) Finally, the checks arrived wrong. We were charged for "party punch" margaritas we never ordered simply because the restaurant served our house margaritas in plastic bags after running out of glasses. When we questioned it, our server rolled her eyes, acted annoyed, and disappeared for another 15 minutes while we waited for corrected checks. After THREE HOURS, we left having had two tacos, two margaritas, and one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. To be open for almost 2 years and still fail this bad operationally is extremely disappointing. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

two of my friends and I went to Dos Santos for cinco de mayo this year. It was also my first time here, although I had heard great things from my coworkers who love it. They were PACKED. Thank you so much to everyone who was working- we were seated quickly and taken care of throughout the course of our meal and chat time. I wanted to give Grant an extra shout out as he was on top of his game. He was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of- not to mention he is very personable! We started with margaritas. I got a spicy marg- cant go wrong. The hibiscus margarita was also super good if you are wanting a drink that's more fruity but still not too sweet. We started with the guacamole which we devoured. Each of us ordered two tacos- they were small but packed with flavor. I really liked the pork belly one- it was fatty, crispy, and sticky. read more

Food is incredibly fresh and yummy, with lots of different options on the menu. The tacos have the perfect amount of toppings that add flavor and crunch. The guacamole is flavorful, and it comes with a bucket of chips that taste homemade. In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is very cool and trendy, with dim lighting and a beautiful bar area. At some of the smaller tables it's tricky to read the menu due to the dim lighting. Our service was slower than expected. We did end up having to ask a different waiter to go ahead and put in our taco order. However, the food was still worth the longer wait time to order! read more

Absolutely stunning decor. Very dimly lit and intimate interior. The waitress was very attentive and walked me through the menu. I stopped by during happy hour and was able to enjoy their Chicken Tinga Chips (similar to chicken nachos) and plantains with sweet crema for only $15. I can't stop thinking about the plantains. They came out fresh and hot -- straight from the fryer. The sweet crema was something I've never had -- it tasted like a mix of cheese and thickened sweet & condensed milk. So yummy! Everything was so filling and delicious. Next time, I plan on trying will their margarita and tacos. read more

We have found our new favorite taco spot in town. We have tried so many taco spots in Nashville and this might just have the best tacos out of all of them. The atmosphere is great and although it is darker inside it makes for a great date night or hangout with a close group of friends. The service was some of the best we've received in recent memory. We went during happy hour (4-6pm) and had the Tinga chips, barbacoa taco, beer battered fish taco, porky taco, and the pork belly taco. Every one of the tacos had very distinct flavors and were highlights which is abnormal as I'm typically let down by a taco or two when we grab some from other spots. I consider Dos Santos a must-try! read more

I loved my experience at Dos Santos! We came before an NSC game because this is one of the few bars that does happy hour on a Saturday in the area. We arrived at 5:50 (10 minutes before happy hour ended at 6pm) and were able to get seated and get our orders in for happy hour. We had the HH nachos that were really good. I made a mistake and passed on the house margarita, which is fantastic, and instead opted for the basil limeade. Respectfully, this drink was really bad. I told the waitress it tasted like straight vodka water and she said that was the inspiration, which I would have no way of knowing from the menu. However, she offered to take it back to the bar and added some lime and agave and it was much better after. The restaurant itself feels very cool and moody. Would definitely return for dinner! read more

The service was quick and our server was very helpful! I'm giving it four stars because of five because it was so difficult to see! (Which is also why I have no pictures.) The lighting was extremely low which felt like a purposeful ambiance choice but a little off for 6:15pm. Our server brought us more table candles but we were still squinting at our menus! My friend got out her iphone flashlight and I noticed others doing the same. I think this will be the perfect sunny happy hour spot in the summer! read more
