    Summer of 2025 we ate here on three occasions and found the food very good. I had fish tacos that were fresh and delicious. I especially loved the homemade guacamole, made at our table. We sat outside and had a lovely experience. We plan to go back.

    Chicken Tacos

    Wonderful authentic Mexican food. Awesome chicken tacos. Loved the chicken tortas sandwich. One block off Washington Mall. Definitely worth a try!

    We stopped by for lunch here after doing some shopping. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our time there. The restaurant was small with indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside thinking that it would be cooler than outside, but there wasn't any air conditioning. We started with the chips and salsa. The chips were very stale and I was surprised that they served them to us. I ordered the chicken taquitos for my entree. They were delicious. One of the best taquitos that I've had. It was quite the mixed bag here, but I'd be willing to give them another chance!

    Guac

    When we arrived, we put our name in for a table and were told 20 minutes however ended up waiting a full hour to finally be seated. We had the table side guac which was good but small and expensive. Entrees were good, nothing special, and again, small and expensive. Our server was really nice, she seemed to be the only one working quickly. Don't feel a need to go back.

    Courteous and friendly service. Tasty food. Thorough menu and unique specials. Very fast (almost rushed) service. No wait at 6:00 PM on a Monday. No air conditioning and ineffective fans. We were in a party of two adults. We shared an order of eloite and it was delicious. We ordered a special that was filet mignon wrapped as a bracciole and stuffed into two poblanos, topped with a delicious sauce. Also ordered shrimp fajitas which were the tastiest that I've ever eaten. Sizzling hot. Both meals served with rice, beans and guacamole.

    Last night was my birthday and i chose La Dona for the relaxed atmosphere and menu. It exceeded all my expectations with the service and food. The waiter Remi has a memory like a steel trap and was there for our every need. He was fun and the whole staff sang happy birthday. His recommendations were spot on and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back for the tres leches cake.

    Son enjoying his dinner.

    The food was exceptional. I meant to take a picture but it was so good I forgot . The service is fantastic. Keeps your drinks filled and are very attentive. The ambiance is a quiet little place we got a corner seat on the deck in the shade. A perfect place to grab dinner.

    Worth it for the mole alone. Nice spot downtown, but still quiet. Better to go on a day with nice weather. Service has always been friendly.

    Ambiance was nice. Food was good. It's BYOT (tequila) for margaritas which is a neat idea but we didn't try them.

He had his hands full with several tables but handled everything really well. The food and drinks were terrific. My only criticism would be the cheese dip didn't have much flavor. It needed a little spice or something. We had the Tijuana Street Fries and Classic Taco Sampler. Both were terrific and huge portions for the cost. I would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity

Expect a long wait, but they are accommodating. After your table is called, they hold it for 15 minutes, which I very much appreciate--that gives you more than enough time to walk to the nearby shops or beach. The ambiance is nice, the tables are spacious, and the bar is long and open. I thought the tacos were alright but expensive and not too flavorful. I did really appreciate the wide selection of local fresh-caught fish, though, and could recommend going here for that reason. The appetizers are pretty standard, and I don't have much to say about them. I just wish there was more flavor in general. Additionally, the cocktails were extremely weak. I'm surprised they even needed to ID. Even people I know who are very lightweight commented on how light the alcohol was. I really liked the flavor and balance of the syrups, but a $15+ cocktail should highlight the liquor. The DJ was not good the night I went, but I'm not sure if that's a consistent issue or just a one-time thing. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back. I just genuinely think the other restaurant selection in Cape May is good enough that I wouldn't spend a meal here during a limited trip.
