" What an amazing find! This restaurant has everything you could want in a dine-in Mexican experience. From the moment you enter, the friendly staff makes you feel at home. The salsas served with the chips are fresh and bursting with flavor! I tried the enchiladas, and they were mesmerizing. Plus, their margaritas could be the best in the city. I will definitely be visiting again, and I can't wait to bring my friends along next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Casa Don Diego was a delightful experience. The outdoor seating is a big plus, providing a charming setting to enjoy authentic Mexican dishes. I can't recommend the carnitas enough; they were melt-in-your-mouth tender! The staff is always welcoming and efficient. I enjoyed a lovely dinner with friends here, and we left feeling extremely satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been frequenting this restaurant for years, and nothing has ever compared. Their chilis rellenos are out of this world! The size of the portions is very reasonable, and the service is usually fantastic. However, I’ve had some waits during busy periods, but the food is always worth it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite place for authentic Mexican comfort food! I love their pozole; it's comforting and robust. The portions are quite generous, and the service is generally friendly. I sometimes find the atmosphere a bit noisy, but it has that classic family restaurant vibe that feels welcoming nonetheless. I plan to keep coming back for as long as I can! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Casa Don Diego several times, and they have remained consistent with their food quality, always serving up authentic Mexican flavors. However, I did notice a slight decline in their frenetic service during peak hours but incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. I still believe it's one of the better Mexican spots in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Casa Don Diego based on the positive reviews, but my experience was a bit disappointing. The food was decent, but didn’t quite meet my expectations for authentic Mexican cuisine. The service was friendly but a bit slow, and I felt overlooked at times. I might give it another shot, but I was hoping for better quality overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Casa Don Diego last night and it was pretty good! I ordered the cheese enchiladas, and they were decently cheesy but could use a bit more sauce. The service was adequate, but not overly friendly. The ambiance felt comfortable and casual, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal. I would give it another try to taste other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
