" This restaurant is a hidden gem! I tried the molcajete, and it was incredibly good. The flavors were rich, and the portion was so big I couldn’t finish it. The service was slow that evening, but the food made up for it. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon The Lazy Donkey while exploring downtown, and I’m so glad we did! The vibrant atmosphere immediately drew us in. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. The chips and salsa they served as a starter were a perfect beginning to the meal. The service was prompt and friendly, which is always a plus! Overall, a fantastic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great dinner here with colleagues! The shrimp cocktails were enormous, and I loved how fresh everything tasted. The server was kind and recommended the peach margarita, which was a highlight of the visit. It’s become my new go-to place in town for Mexican food. Can’t wait to come back and explore the menu further. Everyone needs to try this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! The Lazy Donkey was a great find. The food was bursting with flavor and the service was friendly. My wife and I both enjoyed our dinners tremendously.

" Disappointing experience overall. The food was subpar. I tried the fish tacos, which were messy and lacked flavor. While the atmosphere was lively, it couldn't make up for the disappointing meal. The service was decent but not enough to make me want to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Lazy Donkey has a unique vibe. The decor is quite impressive with bright colors and festive designs. The portions were more than enough, and I loved every bite of my enchiladas. My only complaint was that drinks took a bit longer to arrive than I would have liked. Overall, still a great place that I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican flavor.
