    Margarita
    Clau C.

    I had such a great experience at La Doña! The food was absolutely delicious, and the highlight for me was the birria tacos. They were packed with flavor -- perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. The consommé on the side took them to another level; rich, savory, and exactly how it should be. Every bite was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. I also had an amazing margarita served by Tomás -- perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the ideal pairing with the tacos. Great service always makes a difference, and he truly delivered. I even had the chance to personally meet the chef, Naylin, and she was incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell she puts care and passion into the food. Overall, an outstanding experience from the food to the drinks to the hospitality. I'll definitely be back!

    Another fun day at La Dona restaurant.....

    We love this restaurant and come here every time we visit Sawgrass Mills mall. At least twice a month. Excellent Mexican food, fun place and great service. Juan did a wonderful job taking care of us today! We look forward to returning soon.....

    The place was pretty empty at an 8pm on a Saturday, which was a little shocking. However , the vibe of the restaurant was nice, drinks were definitely very good! I would go probably for drinks more than food. Overall, not bad :)

    A beautiful mexican and Seafood Grill at the Oasis. The friendly staff informed me that they opened the restaurant three months. The inside is very modern and mid-high end. Massive interior with lots of tables and a full bar. There is also plenty of outside patio seating. They host a Happy Hour every Monday - Thursday from 5p - 9p which has half off all appetizers and drinks for a flat $9.00.

    We were shopping at the mall and thought the place looked cute and decided to give it a try. We each had a drink. I had the skinny margarita and my partner had the sangria. It was just ok. Not great. We had the pork belly guacamole and I like my guacamole a little chunkier but it was tasty. The chips were t that great. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and my partner had the mole enchiladas. Mine was tasty but looked more like a taco. The food was all visually pretty and the decor was really nice as well. Our waiter was fabulous and very attentive. I really wanted to love this place. The owner came to the table to check on us and he was so nice we didn't want to be negative. It can be great. I hope it improves. Plus the prices are steep.

    Shrimp Ceviche.  More like a shrimp cocktail than a ceviche.

    Arrived with high expectations after seeing the story on Telemundo. I left unimpressed. The guacamole lacked flavor. The drink was weak. The server in my opinion lacked training. Don't see myself returning anytime soon.

    Tres leches cake the best!

    It's a great Restaurant! high Mexican Cuisine at the best place. Highly recommend after shopping at Sawgrass Mills Ask for Susie she's fantastic

    Tuna Tacos
    Magela A.

    Stopped at this place while shopping at Sawgrass. It caught my eye since it's seafood and a bit more upscale than other restaurants there. So I decided to try it out. The service was outstanding and I got seated right away. I ordered the Tuna Tacos which is an app. They were good but maybe not the best. Overall, it was good and the service was outstanding. However, the price is something to consider for what you get. If I am in the area and I have an occasion I would maybe consider it...

There were seven of us for Taco Tuesday, and from the moment we sat down, our waitress seemed irritated that she had to serve our table. We ordered quickly because we already knew what we wanted. I ordered four Birria tacos on corn tortillas ($19.00) and a michelada ($9.90). Everyone else's food came out correctly, but mine did not. The tacos were clearly served on flour tortillas instead of corn. I politely pointed out the mistake and asked for them to be replaced. Instead of correcting the order, the waitress brought back the exact same plate and looked me in the eye while insisting they were corn tortillas. They absolutely were not, and my friends confirmed the same. I refused to eat them and ended up taking them home for my daughter. What makes this especially upsetting is that this isn't just about getting an order wrong--mistakes happen. The problem is that the restaurant chose to lie rather than fix it. If this had been a customer with a gluten allergy or celiac disease, the consequences could have been serious. Serving the wrong food is one thing; knowingly trying to pass it off as something it isn't is completely unacceptable and incredibly irresponsible.

She was on point with the drinks, and even made us a special, Mexican candy shots, they were delicious! We ordered a variety of food items, and each was as good as the next! We had the carb nacho, and they were delicious. They use real crab! I had the rice with rotisserie chicken, it was flavorful and so tender! Definitely would be getting that again if we go back. The restaurant is very big, and ample seating. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! If you like Mexican, this is a fantastic restaurant, and the portion sizes are very generous!

The truffle mushroom tacos on the happy hour menu were excellent, along with the yuca fries and other vegetarian options. I had two tacos, two margaritas, and an order of yuca fries and let me just say, the portions are very filling. One taco would've honestly been enough. Everything was fresh and flavorful: mushrooms, roasted corn, vegan cheese, sauce, and cilantro. It really didn't need anything except maybe a little spice. Service was excellent from start to finish. The host, server, and bartender all very attentive. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and for happy hour seating we were moved to the bar area, which was no issue at all. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice spontaneous evening. Plenty of parking in the back off University, which is a plus. I'll definitely be back.

It's so good I've already gone two weeks in a row and I'm pretty sure it's about to become a regular thing for me. One of my favorite parts about this place is that the owners are actually the chefs in the kitchen, preparing all of the dishes themselves. They're incredibly friendly and even come out to chat with guests, which makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The barbacoa tacos are hands down my favorite. The meat is unbelievably tender literally falling apart and so juicy and flavorful. I also tried the campechano tacos (a mix of chorizo and steak) and they were sooo good. Perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. And let's talk about their chipotle salsa... I'm obsessed. I was putting it on everything on the table. It has the perfect smoky kick and just elevates every bite. The guac and chips were good, though they didn't quite stand out compared to how incredible the tacos were. But honestly, those tacos alone are reason enough to keep coming back. Safe to say I've found my new Taco Tuesday spot . Can't wait for my next visit!

The wonderful and very busy woman at the counter, offered the menu, but we already had one. She was busy not just taking orders, taking payments, and getting deliveries out the door, but mixing drinks, and taking care of tables! She was a one woman army! Outside looks small, and so does the inside. But the layout is done in such an effective way that it there is counter seating, and more than enough tables to host a small event. It is like a small living room that is still large enough to throw a decent party! The décor is authentically Mexican with Mexican pottery, glassware, imagery, decorations, etc. Regarding the food, it is as authentic as the décor. Chilangos Mexican Grill is not Taco Bell or Pollo Tropical! The food is made from the heart and soul not from a corporate cookbook.

Even with a reservation, it still took about 10 minutes to seat us, while walk-ins were being told the wait was 2 hours. Once seated, things only got worse. It took our waitress around 15 minutes just to acknowledge our table. We placed our drink and food order immediately, but even waters took another 15 minutes to arrive. We ordered chips and guacamole as an appetizer and waited another 15 minutes for that. The biggest issue was the food never came. We sat there for 2 HOURS and never received our meals. The table next to us was dealing with the exact same thing and kept asking their waitress for updates. Every single time they were told "10 more minutes." At one point, we were told the kitchen had prioritized takeout orders over the customers dining inside, despite multiple tables waiting over two hours for food. Our waitress was also extremely inattentive. During the entire 2 hours we sat there, she only came back once after taking the initial order. No updates, no checking in, nothing. The most disappointing part was my daughter waiting two hours for a meal she never even received. Completely unacceptable experience, especially on a holiday where they were heavily promoting the event. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place based on the service and overall management that night.
