Dos Santos Cantina · Restaurant · Medellin
A late-night Mexican cantina on Carrera 33 in El Poblado
Dos Santos Cantina sits on Carrera 33 in El Poblado and keeps later hours than most of the neighborhood. The format is a cantina, not a quiet dining room: tequila and mezcal along the back wall, live music on the calendar, and a room that stays full well past midnight.
The cooking is classic Mexican, judged on quesadillas, aguachiles and tacos al pastor. Tacos arrive properly garnished, steak comes out on a hot plancha with a molcajete of salsa beside it, and several plates land under dry ice for effect. The tequila and mezcal list is long enough to be a reason for the visit on its own, and the margaritas, built the traditional way, are what the room is known for.
The decor is colorful and unapologetically traditional, and the room fills for birthdays and groups looking for a celebratory night. The kitchen stays open latest on weekends, one of the few in El Poblado still serving after a night out.
Weekend tables go early, so book through the link below instead of counting on a walk-in.
