I ordered a combo which allowed me to try multiple things on the menu. I tried tacos with carne asada and a sope with carne asada.

I also tried their tasty Jamaica juice, which is hibiscus, and I've heard many good things about their horchata.

The chicken tacos were cooked well, but the cheese kept coagulating in the roof of my mouth. Wished it was smoother. The margaritas are ranked as follows: peach, strawberry, and passion fruit. For 12 oz, they are $7.50, which is great! The peach was fruity and tasty. Strawberry could get sickly very fast but still better than the passion fruit. The passion fruit was a thicker consistency of syrup, which threw it off a bit, and the flavor wasn't quite right. The berry sangria was missing something. It wasn't quite wine, not quite a fruit juice, and the fruit was all at the bottom, making it hard to drink. Not what we expected with the flavor profile. The quesabirria was flavorful with the beef and very tender. They definitely stuffed a lot of meat in the tacos, which will fill you up. Didn't like the cheese. It didn't pair well with the beef, and it was not enough in comparison. Overall, good tacos and would order again though. The service was fine. She was around enough for us to order more drinks and offered me a box at an appropriate time. The music wasn't too loud, barely heard over the crowd that started forming as we sat. Will try them again because the price is right.

Well, guess who makes sure there's plenty of salsa verde on your plate? Good ol' Pancho Villa, that's who. I have a certain fondness for Pancho's Green Burrito, and when I ordered that dish for lunch today there was a pool of delicious green liquid literally spilling from both sides of my plate! A bit messy for the table, yes, but far better than the scant offerings of their competitor. Pancho has long been one of my most consistent dining experiences in this city, which is why it's often the target of my attention for lunch. They get patrons seated quickly and orders filled quickly. The food is always good and there's plenty of it to enjoy. The service staff does a great job of attending to the wants and needs of their diners. It's easy to see why the place is popular -- and thus why a parking spot can be tough to find around lunch time.

However, the potholder used to serve the dish was filthy and the knife to cut it was so loose I couldn't use it to cut the tough steak. . My husband ordered the carnitas. It was perfect. There was enough between those to plates to share with small children. The interior is beautifully decorated in bright colors with Mexican motifs. Even the glassware is exquisitely handblown with swirling colors. The servers and staff were friendly and attentive but not obtrusive.

First, clean and great service. Second, it's located on Hanes Mall Blvd, but easy to access - right next to the I-40 ramps. You can order anything here and be happy. The seafood dishes are higher than other Mexican restaurants I've been to. However, you get what you pay for. I've been many times and never left a review, well... My photos show the California Burrito and a side of beans and rice. Each seem portioned for two people... I ate half sitting and half later. Great value: to enjoy fresh and get a takeout meal. Did I mention their chips and salsa... I am now. Very smooth. I'll update my review with something from the drink menu in the future. I've always been able to get a table without waiting... But, part of me wants that to change. Don Tequila's should be far busier than it's competitors around Hanes Mall because their food and experience is superior. Try it for yourself and you'll have the same questions... But you'll be totally satisfied. read more

I wasn't very hungry so I wanted something that wasn't a huge portion. I figured a shrimp dish would be a lighter option so I ordered the Camarones Coco. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to what came with it. I was there for the shrimp! It came with a chipotle pineapple sauce that was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the coconut shrimp. My husband ordered the East Coast Burrito, and it was huge! It was packed with steak and came with a large side salad. He could only finish about half of the burrito. He enjoyed it though. I also ordered a Piña Colada. I don't often see restaurants that serve them so I had to try one. I could've done without the whipped cream but the drink itself was really good. I honestly couldn't taste the alcohol... but it definitely caught up with me. LOL The only downside for me is the size of the Tamarindo Agua Fresca. I wish they served it in a large cup like Los Juanes does. Overall, I think the food here is really good and I'm honestly surprised I don't hear more people talking about this place.

I ended up getting a medium house margarita and pulled chicken quesadilla which comes with rice and beans and gaucamole salad. The food came out fast and was hot, fresh, and tasty. I got the smaller (10") size and still only ate half of it. I also ended up adding a single shrimp taco with jalapeno, pico, and cheese on a soft corn tortilla. The fresh jalapenos added a great kick and it was a generous serving for a single taco. The margarita hit the spot too, and for $6.50, can't beat that price. Service was fast and friendly - one of the waitstaff asked me if this was my first time and how I had heard of the place. It has a good authentic vibe to it, lots of bright colors and decor.
