Food is absolutely delicious everytime and Donkey Rita's are always nice and strong. Timmy is our waiter and he is the best!!

Good food and service …it felt cold inside tho …the margarita was good af

We had a great time. The service was fast, friendly, and the food was fantastic. It's been years since I've been able to have some TexMex. The Don'Key was a choice for fixing that, and I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town

Great staff and great food. Totally recommend!!

Omg the food was so yummy, very authentic atmosphere. The water is so crisp & fresh tasting. The roasted street corn soup was delicious. Loved our sweet waitress. Very spacious, clean restroom also.

GREAT MARGARITAS!!!

I've visited this place many times over the years and have always loved it. Visited again recently and had to order my favorite the "Sabroso" and of course their margaritas. Ever enjoy food so much, and then you take the rest to go and reheat it and it still tastes great? Yeah, thats this place!

I have know about this place for what seems like forever and just never stopped in.To start the customer service was stellar. The chips & salsa were on point, very good flavor with just a bit of spice. The seating was comfortable with indoor and outdoor options.Appetizers:Chile Con Queso. 8/10Creamy melted cheese with peppers.Had the large order with taco meat and there was none left at the end, really good queso.Entrees:Tacos Clásicos (3). 7/10Crispy or soft tacos with your choice of taco beef or shredded chicken — topped with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Served with rice and beans.We had the crispy tacos and they were great, the meat was seasoned nicely with just the right amount of salt.Fish Tacos (2). 9/10Your choice of fried or grilled fish, jalapeño ranch, shredded cabbage, fresh mango pico de gallo and lime. Grilled Shrimp Option as well. Served with rice and beans.My son had the crispy fish tacos and he said they were to die for.Nachos Supreme. 6/10Crispy tortilla chips loaded with taco beef and shredded chicken, refried beans, chili gravy, chile con queso and melted cheeses. Served with sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños.I ended up trying the nachos with a mix of beef and chicken fajita. Overall they were decent. They are piled high and the majority of the nachos are soggy but at the same time they were really good.The rice was fair but the refried beans have a strange flavor. I eat a ton of beans and I can say I have never tasted refried beans like these. They weren’t horrible but left me wondering what they used for the seasoning.This place is better than a lot and deserves at least a a visit if you are in the area.

The one star was because I have to put something. Everyone there is so annoyingly loud and drunk, in the most belligerent way. And the food was terrible. I could barely eat my chicken in the tacos Al carbon without choking it was so dry. And the waiter gave off such a creepy vibe that I got the feeling he could be a serial killer. I regretted being there from the beginning, but I figured the food would make up for the obtrusive atmosphere. It did not. Overall, I couldn't say one positive word to describe my experience there.

First time here! Kristen, our waitress, was very knowledgeable about the menu and we ordered based off her recommendations. Nice atmosphere for a family dining or a business meeting, as I was there for.
