" We visited Don Tequilas based on a friend's recommendation and were eager to indulge in some authentic Mexican flavors. The service was friendly and the atmosphere inviting! I enjoyed the steak tacos, which were good but didn’t burst with flavor as I had hoped. The side of beans was underwhelming as well. While it was pleasant, I left feeling that it could be a bit more authentic. I may consider alternative spots for my next Mexican meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Tequilas is hands-down one of the best Mexican places around! The service was excellent, our server was very friendly and made great recommendations. We tried the guacamole made fresh right at the table, and it was truly the best we have ever had. The nachos are also worth every penny, so cheesy and loaded with toppings! The atmosphere is cozy and beautifully decorated, making it a great spot for family dinners. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Don Tequilas for a special occasion, and we all had a good time. The setting felt family-friendly, and the staff was considerate. My children loved their quesadillas, yet my dish of enchiladas was not as flavorful as I expected. At some moments, the service seemed rushed. With both highs and lows, I feel it’s worth another visit to try their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wife and I had a date night at Don Tequilas. The whole experience was pleasant! I tried the mixed fajitas, and they were delicious! Every bite was flavorful and fresh, the portion size was quite decent too. The only letdown was the choices in the drink menu; I expected more variety! Otherwise, I’ll strongly recommend this place for a nice night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Tequilas is a clean and charming restaurant with a nice Mexican vibe. The service was excellent. I ordered the carne asada and it was prepared very well—the beef was juicy and tasty! The only downside was the wait for the food, which took longer than expected, but it was worth it for the flavorful experience. Overall, I would recommend it for anyone seeking decent Mexican food in a lovely setting. I plan to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Tequilas has a nice vibe, the staff is friendly and eager to help. However, my experience was marred by long wait times for food. I ordered tacos and while the flavor was great, I felt the tortillas were a little gooey. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I expected better considering the buzz around the place. Will give them another shot, but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I had dinner at Don Tequilas last week, and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant has an inviting layout and great decor. We sampled the enchiladas and tacos, which were both enjoyable, but I felt the tacos could use a little more seasoning. The service was prompt, and our drinks were refreshed on time, which I appreciated. Overall, a nice evening out! " (*Curated Review*)
