" Donkey Taqueria offers an incredible variety of tacos that are both delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors explode in your mouth, with the carne asada being my favorite. What I appreciate most is that they use fresh ingredients, which is crucial for me. During my recent visit, the server was attentive and made excellent drink recommendations. Can't wait to come back during happy hour! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite place in the city. While the tacos were fine, they felt more like a trendy take on Mexican food than the real deal. The guacamole needed a little kick to bring it alive. The staff were polite but seemed overwhelmed. Might consider returning if I hear good things from friends, but I’m ambivalent. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively in Mexico, I found the tacos at Donkey Taqueria to be a fun variation rather than traditional Mexican cuisine. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, but don’t expect the authenticity you might find at more traditional spots. I'd recommend it for a casual dining experience but not for those seeking authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Donkey Taqueria because I heard raving reviews from friends. My experience was mostly positive—the atmosphere is lively and the tacos, while good, didn't quite live up to my high expectations. The smoked chicken was tender but lacked the complex flavors I sought. The margaritas were excellent though, so I would still give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Donkey Taqueria last night! The tacos were fantastic, particularly the al pastor, which was juicy and full of flavor. We paired it with a bold margarita that complemented the food well. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was relaxed and cozy, perfect for our dinner date! " (*Curated Review*)

" Donkey Taqueria has a delightful local vibe with fantastic tacos! The freshness of the ingredients is evident, particularly in their signature margaritas. The flautas as a starter were a nice addition, but I expected the tacos to have a bit more filling for the price. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my experience and would return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This charming taqueria had a lot of potential, although my visit left me slightly underwhelmed. The tacos had good flavors but could benefit from more seasoning in certain options. The staff was lovely, though, appearing genuinely happy to serve us. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
