Dos Urban Cantina

I think good, but not great sums up our experience here well. We arrived with no reservation on a Friday evening, and chose to sit in the bar area which had a great vibe. The drinks were good, but the food was lacking. They have a relatively unique menu for a Mexican restaurant so we expected unique flavors, but unfortunately most items we tried fell flat. For example, there was no kick or heat to the habanero crema to offset the sweetness of the tamal tots. My chicken verde taco was probably the highlight of my meal, but it was also hard to eat. I would probably return for their happy hour if I were already in the neighborhood, but wouldn’t be eager to return for dinner. Service was on the slow side, but I didn’t factor that into my review because it was very clear they were short staffed like many other restaurants right now. They were hustling to attend to every table, and remained very friendly!

nom! Such a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere, me and my partner went late last night for a bite to eat and I felt like the whole restaurant gave me a warm fuzzy mezcal infused hug. Highly recommend - service was fast, servers were friendly and attentive, would recommend the cauliflower Buffalo wings and the tacos, will be returning, my only regret is not trying the dessert menu

When I tell you the food was sooooooo good! And the Key Lime pie had me dancing with every bite. It's a cute date night vibe. Side note: The owners Evan was awesome, he checked on us a number of times and made sure we were have a great experience. I will definitely be back!Food: 5/5

My friend and I came here for happy hour recently to try something new. The margaritas were fine but the tacos were very overpriced $7 for the quality. Carnitas taco sounded interesting on the menu and was passable but bland. The fish taco was absolutely inedible. Deep fried chunk of fish that was well overcooked and dried out. I should have sent it back but tried to eat it anyway. There were no salsas or spices on the table to help with the lack of flavor. The prices here do not warrant the quality of the food and be aware that they will add a 20% tip to your bill. The server was not particularly friendly or attentive as we had to wave him down to take our order. Stick to a local mom and pop taqueria if you can find one, the food is tastier and has more spice.

This review is about LUNCH/BRUNCH, not dinner or drinks. We were looking forward to a great brunch, but meh. Limited selection, no atmosphere, and the locals probably know, because there must have been 10 customers total, if that. Again, dinner may well be amazing, but lunch/brunch not so much.

Dos Urban Cantina offers a solid twist on Mexican cuisine with new unique takes on traditional dishes and also offers authentic classics. Love the vibe and the staff. The current starter - smoked beet tostada hits all the flavor notes and delivers. Sweet corn tamal is delicious. Margaritas are great and their current Bang Bang Pie deserts shouldn't be missed. Vegetarian options: Tons of options.

I wish I could give. 2.5/5. From start to finish we were very happy with everyone we interacted with. No complaints about service! The sweet corn tamal tots are great and are the only thing I would recommend. I do wish the habanero crema had some kind of heat to it but it was just semi flavored sour cream. Still not bad. The smoked beet tostada tasted like I was licking the actual smoker. The smoke was so overwhelming you couldn't taste anything else on the plate. Apparently it's a common complaint because the server readily understood and offered to take it off our tab for us. The tacos are hit or miss. We tried the carne asada, carnitas and arabe. They were all edible but the first two were almost bland and the arabe was good but had so much going on that you couldn't taste the lamb. The pie's they had for dessert currently seemed like a weird add on the menu and a huge missed opportunity for an on theme flan dessert. The key lime pie was good but the chocolate caramel pie was a flop. We would go back for happy hour drinks but I don't think we'd stick around for dinner.

Delicious, flavorful food, fantastic service and friendly staff. We had a really nice time grabbing dinner at the bar. Walking in on Friday around 8 it was super busy- but we were able to sit right away at the bar. We started with radishes and the tamal & had the dumplings- which were incredible! Then short rib and mushroom dish. The cocktails were good too. The bartender was cool, great service and made some great recommendations. The desserts were nice too- Chocolate cake was rich and slightly savory, a scoop of sweet potato ice cream and the coconut flan was light and bright served with ripe mango and mezcal meringue. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and glad I finally made it in. It definitely did not disappoint after reading all of the reviews, etc. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is some details in some of the dishes not worth specifying because it wouldn't deter me from ordering, everything was good- just could have been a bit better, at least to get 5 stars.

Went for the first time, the service was great!. I tried the Octopus Fried Rice it was so delicious it was a little spicy but so good. I also had the Braised Short Rib, the meat was so tender and soft. They have a few specialty drinks as well. Can't wait to go back.

I decided to try the happy hour and was delighted by both the food and drinks. The staff was accommodating even though I didn't have a reservation. The small plates were really all I ordered and had a great time enjoying the different flavors from each dish. The drinks also were delicious and overall it was a great experience and will return again soon!
