This place is LIT. So close to Northeastern University too. The place lights up after 11 pm on weekends. They have Taco Tuesdays for 2$ too. The appetizers are pretty good. Loved the onion rings and nachos with guac. Their kitchen closes at 10pm. The drink options are pretty good too.

This has become a go-to after-work spot over the course of the last few months. Awesome if I’m at work late and need a bite to eat and a drink (or several!) before heading home. Rarely hang out past 8/9 but seems like they have some fun events and promos for college students later in the evening. The bartender who’s on on Thursday and Friday night is awesome and always takes great care of us. Tacos are good and nachos are great. Happy to have this spot so close to work!

Prior to Boston Philharmonic concert we wanted to have dinner near by. Every placed was packed with at least 45 min wait except for Dos Diablos. They were empty with a couple ppl at the bar. When placing the order we informed waiter/bartender that we have a concert at 8pm but she ensured us we have plenty of time. The first chicken wings arrived in 55 min of waiting...the rest of orders - we've never got them! (BTW the chicken wasn't got either).We had to eat chips at the concert. They screwed the whole Sat night for us. When I pointed it out to the barwoman instead of apologizing she suggested to write a review....so, here it is!

Had the chorizo taco and it was amazing, the spice mixed with the egg yolk brought everything together ..... the bartender was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the drinks that were very delightful especially the “naked and famous”. I also enjoyed the green light shot which was different for my pallet but went down smooth. I will definitely be coming back soon

Not impressed with the taste and quality of the food for the price. The drinks were solid, but they were sold out of half the menu on a Friday night.

Love the food and drinks! Only complaint is the gross bathrooms.

We had a disappointing experience at Dos Diablos Taco Bar. We started off with an order of Guacamole. For tacos I got Camarones (Grilled shrimp, red cabbage, pickled serrano, and pineapple salsa) and Pork Carnitas (crispy pork confit, chihuahua, salsa verde, black bean puree, crema). However, when they brought the food out, they had brought a Carne Asada (marinated & grilled skirt steak, red onion, cotija, salsa roja) instead of carnitas because they "ran out of the carnitas". The waiter who we ordered from says he had asked me about the swap, which I am certain he did not - I would have ordered something entirely different if he had. The same thing happened to someone else there, as well, which I overheard. Given that we were already running late for an event, I didn't have time to send them back for something else. On top of the tacos being cold and one not even what I ordered; the tacos were quite sad and empty looking. Not what I would expect based on the descriptions and the ingredients on the menu. The guacamole was decent, but quite small for the price. This might be an okay place to come for drinks, but not anywhere I would ever go back to for a meal.

Unfriendly staff, even worse, plays drake all night. You can't change your name just to revive yourself from other poor reviews

The bar closes at midnight but the kitchen closes at 10. Can’t even have nachos.

Tacos were rather small, but the bartender was really nice.

This place is such a breath of fresh air when everything around is just trying to draw in the college kids. I was happy to come here and find an adult atmosphere which great drinks. The music was fascinating as it was an eclectic mix of a few genres. I tried a couple of the cocktails rom the menu and they were refreshing and not too hard on the pockets. The tacos were amazing especially the chorizo, the spice mixed with the runny yolk from the egg was to die for. I will definitely be returning next time I am in the area
