" I have to say, my experience at Doneraki was a bit mixed. Initially, the atmosphere was vibrant and festive, making it seem like a perfect spot for gathering with friends. However, the service started off strong but became lackluster as the night progressed. It seemed our waitress was overwhelmed. The food was good, but my burrito was colder than I would have liked. Despite that, the drinks they offered were fantastic and refreshing! I think they have the potential to shine more with better attention to customer service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Doneraki for a birthday celebration last weekend. The decorations were beautiful, making it a great spot for a festive occasion. We ordered the buffet, which had a diverse selection of dishes—from enchiladas to ceviche. Most of the food was tasty, though I felt that they could improve on the seafood options as they didn't taste as fresh as I hoped. Service was prompt, but toward the end of our meal, we struggled to get refills on drinks. Overall, I think I'd return but perhaps during a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We brought our family here for a Sunday brunch, and it was fantastic! The buffet they offer is incredible; there were so many delicious options, including fresh fruits, assorted tacos, and delightful mariachi music in the background. Each dish was better than the last. I loved the flan for dessert—it was heavenly! Service was great; the staff kept our drinks full. A perfect family outing, and I can't wait to come back next weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I were excited to try out Doneraki after hearing rave reviews, but we left feeling a bit let down. The atmosphere was lively, filled with color and energy, but the food lacked the authenticity we were expecting. I ordered the birria tacos, and while the meat was tender, the seasoning felt off, and I was hoping for more flavor. The drinks were refreshing, and our server was lovely, but overall, I wish the food had matched the environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Doneraki has always been a favorite for my family. We celebrate birthdays and milestones here because it's big enough to accommodate us, and the kids love the vibrant vibe! The last time we visited, I ordered the seafood soup, which was packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. The staff was attentive and quick to help us. Even though the noise level can get pretty high, the energy makes it fun! It’s fantastic for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a wonderful time at Doneraki during our family outing! The vibrant colors and energetic music created a perfect fiesta vibe. Kids loved the chips and salsa! My husband and I shared the fajitas, which were absolutely delightful—great portions and super flavorful. Our server was bubbly and very attentive, making our experience just that much better. I really appreciate when a restaurant includes traditional music in their ambiance; it adds to the authenticity. We will definitely be back for more celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, my family and I went to Doneraki, and it was a blast! The kids were entertained with the mariachi band that played lively tunes, while we enjoyed our meal. I ordered the mixed seafood platter, and everything tasted great! The portions were generous, and we even had leftovers to take home. Service was prompt, managing our needs well throughout our meal. A wonderful dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)
