We are new to the area and had to try this place because it's also so crowded!…read more We were not disappointed! We got a table within 10 minutes despite it being pretty packed at 7 pm on a Tuesday. We started with the El Minero cocktail which was great as well as esquites and the salsa trio. The Macha salsa is SO good! The esquites was also really good. We ordered a carne asada taco, birria taco, and chicken enchiladas suizas and enjoyed all of them! The carne asada taco was the least exciting so we would probably try something else next time. Overall, a great dinner, we can't wait to go back

As I've mentioned before (and I know others have too), it would be wonderful to see some vegan options added to the menu. I also ordered a tequila shot that came with salt and lime, but unfortunately there was so much salt that chunks of it fell directly into the drink itself. I probably should have sent it back for a replacement. Overall, I still enjoy the service and hope to see a few small changes in the future, especially some more vegan-friendly options.

It is OK. Really 3.5 stars…read more A friendly welcome from the owner on a Saturday afternoon. Started with chips & salsa. The salsa was thin, but picante. Guacamole was good, but expensive for a small portion. I had a Chimichanga (carnitas). It was average. Not crispy, deep fried. Overall the food is just OK. That is why 3.5 stars. + Colorful dolls and murals for creating a warm "Mexican" atmosphere + Music - Mexican +/- Lighting - some at 5000K and some at 2700K - Flatware - Qualite dominion, cheap - Paper napkins $158.18 for lunch for 6 (inc tax & tip)

Drinks: They used cheaper tequila. my body cannot handle cheap tequila, but higher end stuff is just fine. how can I tell? I was sweating tequila the next day after one margarita. Quality tequila doesn't mess me up like that. Pricing: for the quality of food, not great. they also no longer do taco tuesday. Service: staff was lovely, though I wish they were more accommodating to my vegetarian guest. The refried beans are made with animal fat, so it is not vegetarian as advertised.

The food is consistently excellent. We've ate here four times so far and haven't been disappointed once. My personal favorites so far are the enchiladas and the fajitas. In my opinion a lot of places tend to overcook the meat in fajitas, but not here. The meat has always been tender, and the seasoning is spot-on. The staff at Donna Maria are professional, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant space itself isn't huge, but it's comfortably sized, and we've never had to wait for a table. If you're in the Golden area and craving quality Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

There's nothing better than a nice bowl of birria consomme. The best thing to do is to order the birria consomme or soup and make your own birria ramen at home.

This trip was no different and El Tequileno's was as good as I remembered. The food and service are always good.

The band was quite good and added a nice touch to the restaurant's atmosphere. Two of us had burritos, one had a chimichanga, one kid had carne asada while the kid went for chicken fingers and fries.

The space does get loud. There were two tables with kids who meandered about rather than sit with their family.
