    Deep Fried Ice Cream
    David M.

    Driving through Forsythe, hungry. Looked at a few restaurant reviews but most offerings were fast food. Drive by this parking lot and it was full - that is a good sign. Seated right away. Great menu, fantastic service, very good Mexican food. Try the chimichanga - it is made right. If you leave room for dessert (or just want to keep eating), try the fried ice cream.

    I ordered the steak chimichanga dinner that comes with rice, beans and a guacamole salad. It was nice and crispy and the steak was nice and tender. Good flavor! The chips and salsa weren't so good but it was 9pm so they probably been there for a while. We've eaten here several times but never in this section of the dining room. I was surprised to see a family restroom tucked in the corner of this dining room. Very strange place for a restroom. Also there was a TV directly behind my head with the sound on at first playing baby TV and then they switched it to Cartoon Network. That was annoying! Overall though food was good service was good and we had a good experience.

    Lunch date with my high school/colleague friend. It was my first experience. The wait to be seated was not prompt although there was no one else waiting but the food was great. I'm sorry I don't have a better photo as my other one came out fuzzy but I had the Alambres Texas Fajitas. The sweet tea was really good as well. The salsa a little bland for my liking....needs a little more kick to it but overall a wonderful experience. I would return.

    This restaurant was absolutely delicious! Worth the time and making the stop here. Authentic Mexican food with great flavors. The decor was cute with an authentic touch. Fur babies are welcomed :)

    I was in town for a few days and tried this place out. This is one of the few sit down restaurants in Forsyth where it opens past 9pm. I believe their hours are M-Thur until 10pm and Weekends until 11pm. I got some grilled steak with bacon and cheese on it. It came with fajita wraps and refried beans and rice. Guacamole and sour cream. It was really tasty. Service was good as well. I definitely will come back and recommend this place to anybody in town.

The decor was modern and bright with white booths and black accents. They had plenty of seating, it was quiet and they had a clean dining room. The attendant who helped me was professional and answered my questions. I had the steak salad, and it was very large and delicious. I also had the s'mores quesadilla, which was unexpectedly good. The meal the portion size was large enough that I had plenty of leftovers to take with me. They have a fresh salsa bar and a soda fountain after you check out. The salsa were a little on the sweet side, but very fresh.

The staff were so nice and answered all of our questions. I opted for the loaded steak quesadilla + mom had a loaded burrito bowl with ground beef. For clarity, loaded just means you can add as many toppings as you like! & we did just that! After paying for our food, we found a booth inside to indulge. It was a very calm restaurant with medium noise level. Self serve salsas + sodas. The only reason I gave 4 stars was due to the salsas -- only 1 tasted good (the spicy one) the rest were subpar with no flavor or watered down. I definitely say give it a try!! This will definitely be my new go to place!!

    I visited Don Tello's with a few of my girlfriends and had a pretty basic 3-star experience. It was…read moremy first time there under the recommendation of my bestie but the Yelp reviews made me a bit hesitant. But I went with the vibes! Located in Lithonia, Don Tello's is located in a busy retail area and I loved that parking wasn't an issue at all. There were 2 arcade games at the front which I'm sure come in handy on busy days when children may become restless if their parents are waiting for a table. As we walked up to the hostess stand, I noticed the printed signage that so many mentioned in their reviews regarding no refunds, remakes, etc. Kinda makes you cautious! But we were quickly seated by friendly hostesses and we weren't turning back. The restaurant was huge and filled with plenty of space for hungry guests. I read reviews regarding their Cinco de Mayo celebration being on swole, and I can definitely imagine that! There were only a few people in our seating area during our visit, but I definitely appreciated that. Our waitress was sweet but quite forgetful. On a number of occasions we found ourselves asking for items two or three times. We'd ask a question and she'd respond in a calm "duh" kinda way as if we knew what was happening in the kitchen, lol. I'm a guacamole purist so when I ordered the Texas guacamole dip, I asked for it to be prepared tableside as that was listed as an option on the menu and I wanted a hand in deciding how much/little of each ingredient and enjoy the prep. When I asked about this, our waitress said, "No. No that's not possible." I asked why not and she said, "The kitchen, they prepare it in the kitchen. Ever since.. yeah, no." LOL not much of an explanation, we were all so puzzled. But I was set on the idea and knew I didn't want the regular guacamole dip because in pictures it looked like avocado puree. Moving along. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. I really appreciated that there were a number of a la carte options (as I never eat my rice and beans) and they were all priced under $7! Such a great deal. I ended up going with a shredded chicken chimichanga along with the guacamole dip and my girlfriends opted for tacos, a beef quesadilla, a burrito and an order of nachos. I'll say this - the portions were insane. My friends' quesadilla was filled up with meat and covered the entire plate (but wasn't cut up) and another girlfriends' nachos could have fed two people. My guacamole was a nice portion as well and I could tell that it was fresh. It was good, not the best I've had, but tasty. I could have used another avocado in the mix and just a litttttttle less lime. Overall, an okay experience but I'm not sure if I'll be rushing back anytime soon.
