" Visited with a large group, and the staff handled our seating well. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious. I ordered the taco salad, which was a generous portion, but it felt a bit bland. My friends enjoyed their meals more than I did. The service was attentive overall despite the restaurant being busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the chips and salsa are delicious, I was let down by the entrees I ordered. My enchiladas were underwhelming, lacking enough sauce and seasoning. It took a while to catch the server’s attention for a refill on drinks. The atmosphere was lively, which was nice, but the food just didn’t do it for me. I may look for other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Don Benitos! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed. The flavors of the food reminded me of home-cooked Mexican dishes. The tamales were outstanding, and the green sauce was a standout in my opinion. The servers are efficient and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. I will be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really impressed by the service and food at Don Benitos! The lunch specials are affordable, tasty, and the portions are just right. I tried the enchiladas, and they were delicious – filled with cheese and topped with flavorful sauce. The atmosphere was cozy, which made it comfortable for a quick lunch. Will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The chips and salsa are addictive – we couldn’t stop eating them before our meals. My husband and I enjoyed the fajita platter which was enormous and full of flavor. The service was excellent; we never wanted for anything. Highly recommend for anyone craving Tex-Mex! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my experience at Don Benitos. The food was subpar, and the hyped salsa tasted bland. I had to wait too long for my order, and the service seemed disinterested. I won’t be returning, as I feel there are better Tex-Mex options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my visit to Don Benitos didn't live up to the hype. The food was mediocre at best and lacked the flavor I expect from Tex-Mex. The service was average, and the atmosphere felt a bit cramped. I might consider trying again, but I left feeling rather disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)
