" Great little gem in Highland! The staff were friendly, and I loved their salsa served with warm tortilla chips. The taco platter was delightful and value for money. I definitely see myself coming back to try their enchiladas or burritos next time. Perfect place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a decent spot for a quick Mexican fix. While the food isn’t very spicy, it has fresh ingredients, and the prices are reasonable. Portions are generous too. I enjoyed my meal overall but wish they would spice it up a little more, like real Mexican food should be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, it was quite an experience. While my food was good, the service left much to be desired. We waited far too long for refills and had to flag someone down for assistance several times. The ambiance is nice; I'd like to see more focus on getting the orders out timely next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. I find Don Ole to be slightly overrated. The taco was alright, but it did not stand out at all compared to other places I’ve been. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my visit to Don Ole. Despite the friendly service, the food was mediocre at best. My dish lacked the bold spices typical of Mexican cuisine, which was disheartening. Plus, my friend's plate was cold when it arrived; definitely not what I expected from a restaurant known for Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Ole offers a cozy atmosphere and decent Mexican food. I loved the colorfully decorated walls and how the staff treated you. The margaritas were refreshing, and I enjoyed the burrito, but I expected more spices. I'll likely visit again soon to see if they can amp up the flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently dined here as a group, and although the service was friendly as usual, we encountered a longer wait time for our food than expected. The burritos were good but could use more seasoning to deliver that authentic taste we love. Overall, still a good option for dining out. " (*Curated Review*)
