" Doña Mago has become a weekly stop for me and my coworkers. The food quality is always consistent, with the carne asada burrito being our favorite. The chips and salsa are a great appetizer. I also appreciate the casual setup which makes it easy to chat with friends while enjoying our meals. Definitely a place that we plan to keep going back to as long as the offerings remain fresh and authentic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Doña Mago for lunch and ordered the menudo. It had a fantastic depth of flavor and the spices were just right. The staff was accommodating and even made some recommendations. The only downside was the portion; it felt a bit small compared to what I've had elsewhere for similar prices. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely return to try their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)
