" Just had lunch here and it was fantastic! I tried the chicken fajitas, which were cooked to perfection, and my husband had a burrito that was just massive. The flavors were spot-on, authentic, and just delicious. The only thing I wished for was a bit more seating. You do have to wait for a table sometimes since it’s such a popular spot, but the food is definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Don Nacho’s, and it was delightful! The tacos al pastor were superb, bursting with flavor and served hot. The owner was friendly, and I appreciated the cozy atmosphere. I can't wait to return to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a whim during our trip and was very impressed! The tacos were tasty and authentic, and the horchata was refreshing. It’s a small place and gets busy, so going during off-peak hours is wise. I'll definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried Don Nacho’s and we all really enjoyed the experience. The flavors reminded us of a family gathering back home. The chips were fresh and the different salsas they offered added an extra touch to our meal. The service was friendly and attentive, although we did have to wait a little for a table. However, the food more than made up for it. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants, and Don Nacho’s is top tier for sure! Everything tasted homemade, especially the guacamole. The flavors were bold yet comforting—just like home. I brought some friends with me, and they agreed it was the best meal we've had in weeks. The service was attentive without being overwhelming. If you’re in Solvang, do not miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint! The carne asada burrito was massive and packed full of flavor. The chips and salsa were fresh and addictive! It's a small place, so expect a bit of a wait during busy times, but trust me, it’s worth it for the delicious food! I am definitely coming back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Nacho’s had some solid offerings. I tried their burrito, which was good, but I think I’ve had better in other places. The service was friendly but not particularly quick. Overall, it was a decent meal—nothing to write home about, but I'd give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
