This Don Tequila trumps the other location in Amherst! The chimichangas were crunchy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Great food, great service, good prices. All of the food was delivered piping hot and very fast. Many choices to choose from! read more

The food was excellent, but the service not so good. My husband and I both had fajitas and the portion sizes were very large. We could have had one order between the 2 of us and still had enough to take home. My oldest daughter had the pollo don tequila and said it was the best chicken she has ever had. Will definitely go back again. read more

Staff was super rude, my buddy and I ordered same dinner entree and food quantity was cut in half!! Very poor service today and manager did not care either!! Thanks to God that food tasted alright.....many other Mexican food restaurants to try where service is better and they care about regular customers so go and and try those estaurants vs this one!! read more

Great food and fast service, first time at this location but was not disappointed.

We decided to give them another try. So upon our arrival my wife was about to pull open the door when a waiter comes busting out the door to talk to someone almost knocking my wife down. He did apologize. We were promptly seated and the chips came in about a minute. It was 9 pm on Saturday and only 4 tables were occupied. Our waiter took our drink orders shortly thereafter. I ordered a water which had a bug in it under the ice! Our food came out 15 minutes after ordering. Again I ordered chicken fajitas. Came out sizzling but the green peppers were severely undercooked. I realized I had no silverware when I went to start eating. By now I think we had 3 or 4 different waiters come to the table. One male server kept addressing my wife as "honey". It still seems that this establishment lacks mature management with all the horsing around going on with the employees. It seems like this place is run more like a bar instead of a restaurant. After getting my check I went up to pay. I handed him my bill for $24. He looked at me and told me it would be $94. I understand he was joking, but at this point I was not amused! read more

Don Tequila Elyria - Chicken fajitas with undercooked peppers - Mexican Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

See all

The Margarita I purchased tasted like someone Crack a Tylenol and added it to the mixture. It was gross. I think it was because it sat in a plastic container behind the bar for a while. I do NOT recommend this place. The wait staff are not personable at all. There are many Mexican restaurants around...choose another! read more

Tonight was a great dinner. The chicken chimie changa was out of this world. The service was perfect. The dining was nice and clean and inviting. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant around here! They have great food and drink specials, love the margaritas and Carnitas dinner! The workers are all so nice and polite and the food comes out really quickly! read more

Sometimes hot sometimes cold. Table side guacamole is good depending on who makes it. Tell the to hold the salt and salt it yourself. The fajitas are very good. They put broccoli in it. YUM! The tacos al pastor are great. The salsa is very good. We will go back. read more

Haven't reviewed this place in a while. It seems personal taste plays a big part with a lot of Mexican restaurants. This place is still one of my favorites in the area, though it can depend on what you order. I love their chips and salsa and appreciate that they give you your own dipping bowl to poor the salsa into. I like their frozen margaritas as lot. The tacos and tostadas are very good. I love the chipotle burrito. I didn't care for the enchiladas or tomales. The waitstaff is polite but quiet and that's the way I like it. read more

Average service, bland food. Fish tacos were a mess--little fish, lots of tortilla. Margaritas not very strong, weak flavors. The decor is sub-par and looking worn. read more

¡Aye aye aye! Being a transplant from San Diego and dying for Mexican food, this is the best place for the real deal, and everyone there is super nice! This is now a regular place for us. Anyone looking for good food and an excellent atmosphere needs to stop here! And try their top shelf margaritas. ¡Fantastico! ¡Muy bueno y muchas gracias! read more

Ordered the Shrimp Diablo meal, and it was delicious!! Large helpings for the price I paid. Enough to get lunch and dinner out of. I usually don't like Mexican restaurant's chips, but theirs are delicious! The food was great!! Will return. read more

The food was fantastic for the whole family. Kids eat free on Sunday. The staff was really friendly. The guacamole is made table side which is awesome!! read more

Favorite Mexican restaurant. Get the fajita burrito or Durango burrito and you won't be disappointed. Staff is super nice and fast. Fun to relax out in the patio when it's nice out drinking a frozen margarita. read more

My food was good at this restaurant however service was not so great. My server was quite unfriendly and rushed us. When I asked about happy hour my server said the margaritas were a dollar off. I had 2, but when I got the bill it wasn't the happy hour price. I asked my server and he said " oh not those margaritas". Also the restaurant had an unfinished look to it with plywood and concrete exposed...weird. Not crazy about this place. read more

I love this place. Great food, great service. I've never had a problem eating "in" here. I would love to give 5 stars but I can't. Don't order take out if you like chips and salsa with your meal. The chips and salsa are really good, my family and I like the salsa very much. When you eat in you get unlimited refills on the salsa, sooo here's my gripe. I have twin toddlers and a three year old that don't allow us to sit down and enjoy a meal at restaurants, so we ordered takeout. I ordered 4 meals. We got a bag of chips that held the amount they would normally bring to the table in a basket, that's fine. This is the part that pisses me off. The tiny styrofoam cup of salsa, it was maybe a quarter cup. Just one! Not one for each meal I purchased but one tiny half cup. That's just stupid. You can't even fit a full chip in there, you have to either break the chip or pour the salsa on it. I called and talked to someone and asked if I could have extra and they wanted to charge me. He told me it's a convenience for the people that eat in. Did I get a discount for the food I ordered out? No. I paid the same amount I would've if I ate in. At least one tiny cup of salsa per meal, I don't think that's too much to ask for. read more

I had to write this review because of the comments about the staff being unfriendly. I could not disagree more. Every one in there from the first staff to greet us to the wait staff who took our drink order was friendly with good since of humor and extremely helpful. I only wished I lived in the area so that I could eat there more often. The food was very good and very reasonably priced. The only issue we had was trying to decide what to eat because there were just too many choices. I would advise the Fried Ice Cream. One was enough for three people. read more

If you like to sit out in the blazing, glaring sun, have a nice meal on their patio! It's out front, right directly in front of the parking lot, which could use some repair. Food's good, your eyes aren't gonna roll back in your head when you eat it though. read more

My wife and I eat here on a weekly basis. We love the food, it's always well flavored and fresh. The staff is personable and fun; Tony is the man for giving the best recommendations. We would love to see more upbeat establishments like this one move into the area. read more

My family and I are passing through town and wanted Mexican food. This place was the closest to our hotel... and I must say, this is the best Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. The food, service and atmosphere are simply excellent. read more

The food is good/fair but the service was poor. Anything we needed we had to go ask at the host stand.

Great place food and staff. Staff remembers you and has always been friendly. Food come out so fast. They have specials that are great priced. read more

Terrible food. The worst mexican food restaurant I have ever been to. I couldn't even eat it. I ordered a fajita burrito and spit it out. I wish I could give it 0 stars because it ain't worth one. I even ordered sopapillas and they were more like chips with sugar on top. Very disappointed with the quality of the food. But this is Ohio. And the waiter didn't know what chile con queso was. Smdh read more

Tony is always awesome. The staff is friendly and gives great service. Food comes out hot and fast! Favorite Mexican and the best around!!!

Absolutely amazing place! Hands down the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. The wait staff was funny & engaging... In a Ed Debevic style. They joked and kidded around with us. Several Mexican beers on tap. I had a tall mug of Pacifico for $4. The menu has just about every dish you could ask for. I went for the fajitas-a mix of chicken, steak, chorizo, pork & shrimp with onions, peppers, etc. The hubs had skirt streak. Plenty of food at very decent prices. My husband is Mexican so they brought us some spicier salsa and a green tomatillo sauce (without us asking). Both really delicious. They had a very extensive tequila list as well. As an after dinner drink, we had shots of 1942 Don Julio. Mmmmmmmm! The $12 per shot is worth it! The only bad thing is that we are just passing through on our way home for vacation, so I can't say as to when I will be back. BUT, if I ever find myself within a 30 mile radius of this place you can bet my butt will be in a seat. read more

Don Tequila Elyria - My fajitas! Super long Mexican name but it had chicken, steak, pork, shrimp, chorizo in there. - Mexican Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

Stopped for drinks and snacks. Tequila dip and bean dip and guac were great....and cheap. Medium mango margarita was too much to finish and only $8. Friend got this dish served in a half fresh pineapple. Wow..huge and good. She took more than half home. I will be back. read more

Fast friendly service and terrific Mexican food. Table-side guacamole is excellent and we will definitely be coming back soon.

Every time we order they mess our order up and this location is not near as good as the Amherst one but that one has gone downhill as well.The last time we are here the server was having a bad day and took it out on the customers which isn't acceptable.Never going back read more

Ordered a quesadilla after work one day to go. It was soggy by the time I got it home but it was still pretty good. A little different than I was expecting though. No jalapeños or a lot of onions. Overall I'd look forward to eating here again, but with a few improvements the food could be above and beyond. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Food was good, and reasonably priced, but service was not, and we won't be back. We arrived half an hour before closing and sat at the bar, which was covered in dirty dishes and glasses. We weren't offered chips and salsa, and the bar tender asked three times in five minutes if we were ready to order. We placed an order to go and he brought the bill before he brought the food and asked us to cash out. It was obvious he didn't want us there and just wanted to go home, even though there was obviously still a lot of work to be done there. We would have had a second drink before closing but instead we just took our food and left. Again, we won't be back. read more

Great place. Love the food and the service is awesome. Ya gotta try the buriito durango.

we didnt even get seated, we got pointed to a table. We sat down and someone gave us our chips. We waited for 20 minutes before getting a waiter over to take our drink order. They didnt even give us a menu till after we got our drinks 25 minutes later. They never said sorry either. Good food though. read more
