" I find Don Lemus to be a mixed bag. The service can be hit or miss; I've had days where the staff was exceptional and others where they seemed overwhelmed. The tacos can be delicious, but if the kitchen is behind, they can be a letdown. It’s a nice spot with good ambiance, but consistency seems to be an issue. I think they could improve quite a bit, but there’s potential here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed by my experience at Don Lemus. The tacos were rather dry this time, which was surprising given their usual reputation. Additionally, I found the service to be lacking; the staff seemed overwhelmed and it took too long to get our order. I still appreciate their effort, but I think they need to manage their busy hours better. I might give it another try, but I hope for an improvement next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing find! I came with a friend after reading some great reviews, and they did not disappoint. The tacos had the perfect crunch from the handmade tortillas, and their green salsa was a game-changer! The vibe of the place is casual but welcoming, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner. I left so satisfied that I plan to return very soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite spot. I found the service to be quite rude during my last visit, and the food didn't live up to the hype. I tried the tortas and found them just average, definitely not worth the drive. Maybe it was just an off day for them, but I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon unless I hear some positive changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say my experience was quite disappointing. The flavors were not what I expected based on all the reviews. My tamales were lackluster and almost cold. The atmosphere did have a nice vibe, but it didn’t make up for the food quality. It's sad because I had high hopes for this place. I may revisit in the future to give it another shot, however.

" Had a great evening at Don Lemus with my family! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for casual dining. We ordered several tacos and a torta, and everyone left satisfied. The fresh ingredients really stand out. The only downside was the wait time; it was quite busy when we arrived, which made our food come a bit slower than expected. However, the delicious flavors made it worth the wait. Looking forward to visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Lemus is a dessert paradise! The ice cream here is out of this world, with so many unique flavors that you can't find anywhere else. I particularly loved the Cookie Monster flavor; my kids were thrilled with their choices too! Beyond the ice cream, I noticed the dishes being served around us looked amazing as well. The service was friendly, but it can get a bit chaotic when they're busy. Overall, a fantastic place for families. Will definitely return to explore their food menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
