Hmm. Standard Mexican food. Not horrible. However: The service is really slow. The prices are really high. The space looks like an old Chinese restaurant that's been painted colorfully. I was not impressed with this place. Now that we are relocating permanently to Billings, it will be my mission to find a better Mexican joint. Disappointed. read more

Worst margarita of my life. Service was the best thing about the experience (although a manager/owner came to ask whether waiter was doing a food job.) Nachos were dry. Pork Chile verde was so so. read more

As a native Southern Californian, surrounded by excellent Mexican Food all my life, I can safely say...this is the worst Mexican food I have ever had. The worst part was the chips and salsa. I actually would give the salsa 3 stars, but the chips? Yuck! They throw in fried flour 'chips' with the corn chips and the texture just throws everything off. Like a salty churro exploding in your mouth. Horrible. My cheese enchiladas were 'meh'. The enchilada sauce tasted like it came from a can, and the bean and cheese burritos my boys ate were not as good as those I make at home. Very disappointing. read more

I stumbled onto Don Luis Restaurant several years ago during the annual Cinco de Mayo block party on N 26th St. in Billings. Don Luis had a booth outside where they were serving steak tacos amongst other things. I was hooked from my first bite. I have been back to the restaurant several times since, bringing my wife or son. Each time we have been there has been a good experience. We have never had a complaint about the food or the service. Don Luis provides good food, a good atmosphere, reasonable prices, and generous portions. This restaurant is very popular locally, and can be quite busy for weekday lunch and weekend dinner. read more

So there no good drinks. Parks sucks if there busy and I hated the food. Never ratting here again

Was passing through on the road trip from MD to WA. After eating burgers/steaks for the last several days, it was time for something different. Saw the good reviews this place had so I decided to check it out. And let me tell you - if you enjoy spicy food, this place is for you. From the salsa you get to the entree, the food here will set your mouth on FIRE! I ordered chimichanga's and my entree came with a side of rice and beans. Little did I know that the rice was over seasoned with pepper. And I mean to the point where they should change the description to say "black pepper with a hint of rice". And the price they charge to feed you lava? Ridiculous. Better find a Taco Bell, the food there would be better. read more

This place is probably actually worth 4 stars, but I am giving them 5 stars to counter the overall average which is too low. The food is a bit spicy, but full of wonderful flavour... they also give attention to the details, no one ever seasons their rice and yet these guys do. The service was great, the food tasted straight out of southern california, and I enjoyed my time. I would only critique the price, which is only slightly over priced ($14 dishes should probably be $10-11). That's all. read more

I hadn't been to this restaurant since the remodel and went last week. It was amazing! The waitress was attentive and sweet. Food came out fast and was absolutely delicious! The chips and trio were incredible! Everything tasted fresh and was very good! We will definitely be back! read more

This place is great. Good food, amazing portions, and good service. I wanted just chicken tacos and some rice and beans & they were very accommodating. My friend got the pork tacos and said they were great. Overall very pleased! The salsa that comes with the chips is delicious too! I would come back again. read more

My favorite Mexican joint in Billings so far. The flavors and choices are great; we LOVE the decor and ambiance is spot on. I can't tell you how ecstatic I was to enjoy Mexican food, served and cooked by Latinos, with Mexican music playing in the background. We've been there twice -- the first time my husband and I split a taco dish (loved it), and this last time we tried the mole (which is very difficult to make well), and I liked it. The salsa is fantastic, and, yes, they have Mexican Coke. We celebrated my birthday there and they stuffed us full of food then brought an obscenely huge dessert that was fantastically wonderful. One of my sons is a burger fan and was immediately impressed that they call that part of the menu what they should: "American Food." He is really a burger snob who is annoyed whenever we take him to a Mexican restaurant .... Don Luis burgers PASSED his discerning palate. This is great news, because I can't wait to go back. I am very thankful for Don Luis. I adore Mexican food, and we really love this place. I do wish they had their liquor license, but understand why they don't; next time we'll break down and try their wine-a-rita. read more

The quality of the food is absolutely fantastic. Regardless of the iceberg lettuce at the beginning, everything seemed to be be quite good. I had the shrimp scampi that had very much a different twist on Mexican Cuisine. However, the spice and acidity proved to meet at the palette at the same time. All was good. read more

Based on my one visit, I'd say this place is awesome. I had the carne asada, and the portions were enourmous, food very very flavorful. In my experience, carne asada is always cooked very well, but they made mine medium, and did a great job of it - not easy with those thinner cuts of meat, I know. Rice and beans were fantastic. Food is a little pricey for sure, but I thought the quality and portions were spot on. Only issue I had were that the corn tortillas were oily(?) - didn't effect the flavor, but there were messy to handle. I would and will definitely go back to this place. read more

Tried to eat here tonight but at 5:50 pm on a Saturday they are closed. No note on the door. No sign. Called - no answer. Really disappointed. read more

I always order their seafood enchilada meal, which consists of two enchiladas served with rice and beans. I'm completely hooked on the enchiladas--big lumps of rich crab meat and shrimp, all filled AND topped with cream sauce and cheese. My only problem is that I tend to gorge on chips and salsa, so I never can eat much of my meal while I'm there. The perk is that I end up with wonderful leftovers to look forward to the next day. read more

Taquitos on dinner menu are indescribable. Amazing enchiladas, esp the Spinach Enchilada (order with a fried egg on top). Best Mexican food in the state, maybe the West! Great atmosphere, service, fresh ingredients, could eat there every day and never get tired of it. read more

I went to this place based on post from Facebook, they say it is the best Mexican food in billings. Well I lived in Elko Nevada where there is a large Hispanic population who run several Mexican restaurants and the worst run down dive in Elko is still better the this place. I was so excited to try good Mexican food and I was very let down. The salsa was watery tomatoes with cilantro, horrible!! The prices were insanely high, I paid $13 for a shrimp and mushroom dish In Elko that was so damn good I dream about it, they want $26 for a shrimp mushroom dish at this place. The margarita was the worst I had because they don't have a liquor license and have to make margaritas with wine, not a good combo at all!!! Our bill for 3 people to have a simple dinner, 2 enchilada plates and Indian taco plate and 1 margarita was $65!!! save your money go to Taco Bell. read more

Very decent upscale Mexican bistro. Always a wait to get in but worth the time. Family owned and operated so the service is personal and friendly. Food is very good and they have generous portions. Close to downtown hotels and night club scene. Edit... Have been back several times since my last review and they food quality is slipping quite a bit. Not nearly as good as back in the day. I hope they work out whatever problems they have as I miss the good ole Don Luis read more

Get the chorizo queso. It is unreal. Only reason it isn't is they don't have a liquor license... so no margaritas.

Unique atmosphere, great service and gourmet Mexican food. Chips were served warmed and the salsa tasted very fresh.

NOPE! Had lunch here. Sour cream enchiladas. 16 I think. The inside was cold despite being served on a hot plate. Salt masked lack of flavor. Took 2 bites and sent it back. The waitress said if we came back next time it would be better -- lol, okay. First experience is everything. Not going back. read more

I had the Fajita Texanas. Great portion, great taste, a little on the "soupy" side as far as what the fajitas were sitting in,and enough for two even. Friendly staff, though she had to come back to my table roughly 10 minutes later to ask what I ordered because she forgot. The margarita on the rocks was pathetic. A little pricey for what it is, but for Mexican this close to Canada...I'll take it. If I come through Billings again, that's where I'll go. read more

I don't know what's going on with these five star reviews. I had a feeling that Billings was not going to be Mecca for authentic Mexican food, but this experience was thoroughly disappointing. First, the food is overpriced - two enchiladas combo was about 17 bucks out the door. I'd be OK with this except this is the most bland Mexican food I have ever had. The enchiladas black flavor entirely and the tamale was nothing to write home about. On a positive note, the beans and rice were pretty all right. read more

I was here years ago and was so excited to come back, my excitement was short lived. Service: not great, not aweful... had to flag down the waitress every time we needed something even though we were the only ones there. Food: worst I ever had. Carne asada had a lot fat, salt was the only flavor, and they messed up my order in 3 different ways. Beans and rice crunchy, dry and stale, way overdone. Tortillas were soggy and floppy, and it was apparent that they heated them in a microwave. For the quality of the food, extremely over priced. P.s. good luck trying to find parking as well. read more

My girlfriend and I ordered chicken enchiladas dinners. It took 45minutes for our order to get to us when there was only one other couple dining there at the time. The chicken was dry and brown on the edges as if it had been pre-cooked and sitting out all day. We sent it back after one bite and went home hungry. We both became very I'll shortly after getting home and ended up tossing up what we had swallowed and more. I went to Albertsons for some pepto bismol which helped only a little. Needless to say, we will never be returning to their establishment. read more

We would not come back. The food was not so great and the prices are as high as Seattle.

Food can be ok. Service is awful! Came in with a reservation at 6. Owner came up and said "just a minute." Walked away and never came back to let us know what was going on. Left and will not be returning again. Good restaurants don't operate this way. This just in...check out The Fieldhouse or Lilac if you want great food with great service. read more

The service merits 1 star. I explicitly told the waiter that I was allergic to dairy, and that I wanted no cheese, sour cream, etc. My chicken mole arrived with a big lump of sour cream in it. I politely reminded the waiter that I can't consume dairy. He looked at me quite rudely and had a hissy fit as he took the plate back to the kitchen. The food was below average, and merits 2.5 stars. The fish fingers were way too salty and greasy. The chicken mole was bland and quite uninspiring. Additionally, my stomach rumbled and was in pain the rest of the evening. I would never eat here again. read more

Service sucked! Chimi was tasty but the waiter dropped it off with my beer (no glass) and never checked on me again! It's 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, not busy, just lazy or not trained. read more

I had a terrible experience here on Cinco de Mayo and I will not be back. I wanted a strawberry margarita and all the drinks they had were wine based and disgusting. read more

The service is fast and friendly. The food is so good with great flavors. They serve chips & salsa free. The salsa isn't too spicy, it's just right. I got a strawberry daiquiri and it was also so good. They play music that isn't too loud. It makes for a nice place to go on a date. read more

First time ever eating here. Overall the food was decent...better then some Mexican restaurants in town. The atmosphere was pleasant even though it feels like a tight space. The staff was kind and more then likely will return in the future. read more

I have always enjoyed Don Luis. When I come home from Denver to visit Billings it is always on my hit list of places to eat. I love their fajitas and the salsa is excellent. The atmosphere and service is great as well. There is no where else in Billings I would rather get Mexican food. read more

Don Luis himself was a very special man! We shall always miss him but the super news is his legacy of Don Luis will continue. The food is still superb. Go and enjoy! read more

Excellent food. I have been to Mexico many times. This is as good as it gets. I had the fajitas, recommended by the waitress. I changed the meat from pork strips to shredded. It was fantastic. I'm stuffed. Can't wait to come back read more

I enjoyed this place the first time I visited, roughly a year ago. Since then, I've visited several times and I will no longer be returning. There is nothing authentic about it, it's all out of a can or frozen product. Only open due to location if you ask me. read more

The food was amazing. Two days later, I'm still dreaming about fresh salsa with roasted red peppers and cilantro, and those amazingly perfect sauteed and seasoned vegetables. Even the refried beans were delicious. I ate every bit of food on my plate and still wanted more. I shared the veggie fajitas with a friend and still had leftovers. The price was well worth the quality. It would have been expensive if we hadn't shared, to be honest, but the portions are huge. The service is the only reason why this place doesn't get 5 stars. One waitress helping the entire restaurant, while another bald dude was pounding beers at the bar (apparently too busy to work). Our chips and salsa went unfilled for at least fifteen minutes, all while the bald dude drank an entire domestic beer with lime. read more

We ordered Chile Relleno's and I asked if it was made with poblano and she said yes but it was an aneheim with alot of seeds in it. I asked for it to be free of any sauce and it came smothered in a strange looking sauce she said was green chile. It came looking more like an omelet and not a traditional relleno. We ordered enchhiladas too and they were so smothered in sauce you could not see the difference between the taco, and enchilada way too much sauce. The only thing tasty were the refried beans as the rice was dry n crunchy. It was overly warm in there as well and the waitresses stand around picking their teeth. Needless to say I won't go back there, besides picking teeth they don't even smile at you. Ha. read more

Was pleasantly surprised. I am a Mexican food snob from southern California. I say there is Mexican food and then there is Mexican resturaunts. Mexican resturaunts normally don't have good Mexican food. This place was an exception! I had the pastor taco special which had grilled pineapple salsa in it and it was really good. Portions were big and service was a good average. Can't wait to take the wifey here. read more

The food wasn't authentic Mexican food, but it was delicious and the portions were big. The fajitas and nachos were a highlight. Some vegetarian/fish options were available. The only thing wrong was that I felt a little neglected by our server. We were seated for a while before we received menus, and waited a bit for our drinks while our server talked to someone at the bar who eventually ordered a drink and received it before us. read more

At work, we get lunch takeout from the Don maybe twice a month, and they're consistently good. Prices are great, too. The salsa - yowzah! Hottttt. But I likes it. read more
