“The flavors were great in general. However, the salsa was essentially tomato sauce and a big disappointment. The guacamole needed some garlic or green onion or salt. The only other problem was the salad had very little (if any) dressing. The tacos and the special quesadillas were great. Service was good. Overall, good enough that we will be back.“

“Our server was Trey!! I had the smash burger and a margarita! Everything was so delicious! I recommend this place to anyone! It is a Mexican spot so getting a burger was sorta strange but once I read the beef was mixed with Chorizo I was sold and just had to try it. It didn’t disappoint. The Guacamole/ salsa and chips were as very tasty! A must try“

“Came here for lunch by myself, the tacos were perfect, rice & beans were too salty in my opinion.

$17.86 for 3 chicken tacos and a side of rice & beans.

I told the cashier I wanted to dine in, but I’m confused why he brought the tray to the table in front of me but I had to pick up my tray from the counter to bring to my table. It’s not a good look for service consistency.“

“If someone were to ask me what is Dos Bros like,I would say that it is similar in concept to Chipolte, but better and a little bit cheaper. I live in Nashville where don't have any locations. I am hoping they will open here soon. The locations in Jackson and Shelbyville were clean with pleasant staff and excellent service. Highly recommend. Additionally I recommended Dos Bros to a friend who lives in Shelbyville. She and her son both loved it.“

“Real Mexican food in Evanston. Solid tacos, and drinks - but my favorite were their salsas, which were bursting with flavor and a decent kick. Runner up to my favorite were their handmade tortillas, which curl up perfectly, have just the right amount of bite, and excellent flavor.“

“Great, warm interior. Semi-circular tufted seat banquets and wall tables. Ask for server Ned B. Wine and ales very good. An order of Burrata came w toasted rolls, roasted tomato and pesto. Very good. Fried Calamari was nicely cooked and had a side of ginger dipping sauce, also good.Surprised at the 15% meals tax. I’m from out of state.“
