This Little Donkey is the downtown Montgomery, Alabama location. I met a client here for lunch. Our server was friendly and professional and enhanced our overall experience. The menu was what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant (nothing wrong with that). I went with a burrito and it was pretty good. I will give it four stars. read more

The best thing on the menu is adobada & fried chicken. Everything else is pretty bland. Cheese dip is way too thick, break about a dozen chips before you get a scoop. Pretty pricy if you aren't going on a day that has specials that's for sure. Service was pretty decent, and the managers really are dedicated to making sure you enjoy everything. However even though I took one bite of two of my three tacos, not liking it, still got charged Even after saying it was bland as well. The restaurant itself is pretty dope though, you should at least eat here once for the experience. It's clean, the bathrooms are questionable but it's downtown ya know? You get what you get sometimes. As far as attire idk, my brother and I felt pretty out of place. read more

On March 31st, Julie Yuliveth gave a party of six exceptional service. She gave the table great recommendations on cocktails and food selections. We were celebrating two birthdays and first time visit. We will spread the word of a great time.. Julie was very helpful, we will return with a larger party soon. Great Service!!! Thanks again Julie!!! read more

Scenery is great with some drinks. Love the indoors and outdoors. Food is ok. Tacos were falling apart. it was soaked on the plate. Every time I tried to take a bite it was falling apart in my hand. Probably place the tacos on a TACO HOLDER. Service could be better. Mentioned shrimp were out then came back 15 mins later with shrimp back on the menu. Confusing. Changed my entire order. Has a lot of potential. I truly wanted to give this spot a 4.5. read more

I'm Not sure why this place doesn't have a good reviews. Came in for dinner with a group of 6. Our service was quick and friendly. Very attentive. They have a huge outside patio that would be great to eat on on a beautiful day. The inside has a big bar too and many tables. I started with the chips and queso, that was a pretty traditional cheese dip. I ordered the taco plate for dinner. I got 1 steak taco and 1 carnitas taco - both were amazing. It came with a side or rice and either black or pinto beans. I also ordered a side of Mexican street corn. It was okay, needed a bit more mayo in there. Overall good experience. read more

We just blew into town and didn't want to drive all over looking for a place to eat. Across from our hotel was this restaurant and I was not sure I wanted to go. I mean you can Mexican anywhere. Pleasantly surprised it was a little pricy but not horrible. I had tacos Pastor ... wifey had taco carnitas. Both are excellent and the street corn is worth the extra price read more

If you're in the mood for good drinks with a fun, laid-back vibe, Little Donkey does not disappoint. Drinks: The drinks were so good--well-made, refreshing, and definitely hit the spot. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or a little more fun, they know what they're doing behind that bar. Vibe: The atmosphere is lively but still relaxed enough to enjoy your time. It's the kind of place you can kick back, sip your drink, and just enjoy the moment without feeling rushed. Overall, I came for a good drink and left fully satisfied. Esp., after running into the caption and a few others following the Sip & Cycle cruise I just enjoyed being on! They were the funniest creates & they sent there margarita pitcher over for me to partake. I love the southern hospitality here! read more

I stopped for lunch on a Taco Tuesday in May. I had the El Pastor and Steak tacos. The El Pastor with the roasted pork with the pineapple was my favorite. The steak taco was good but I had two strips of steak about four inches long by about two inches wide. I tried to eat the steak and it pulled away from the taco. I ended up cutting the steak into pieces and eating each bite with a bite of the torn up taco. Not the lunch you want when entertaining a guest. Food was still great tasting. Service was really good. We ate on the covered patio and it was great outside. I would recommend this place based on that alone. Never thought I would eat outside on a patio in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, 20 years ago. This area has been "revived" nicely. read more

I'm excited about this location in Montgomery, AL. The staff members were friendly, greeted us, and got us seated. There was plenty of space for large groups. The atmosphere was outstanding. I only had 1 Margarita, but next time, it will be 2. I'm returning soon to try more items on the menu. read more

Food was really well, was able to accommodate a large party and great customer service. The reason for the 1 star is I was charged for an item that was sent back. I've tried calling the restaurant multiple times for days and no answer. read more

Little donkey has nice vibe very , clean, nice atmosphere. Everything was good except the food. The service was good and everything except but the food the food was very bland and very basic. And is too expensive to be so basic read more

I am so sad! Hasn't even been a year and the downward spiral has begun. The food is almost identical to the Eastchase location now, cold and tasteless below average at best. There was a guy there in the beginning he has since either left or doesn't come in as much. I hope he is aware that in his absence the place is lacking. A different manager showed up about 6-8 weeks ago and honestly the day she appeared that place began to crash even the ambiance seemed to change among the workers. People Skills are at a minimum. High turnover with the servers. The kitchen manager is rude. Ordered catfish came out within 2min so clearly NOT fresh and it wasn't. Soggy and COLD. 15m later the real deal hot and fresh came out only to have the kitchen mgr slam the plate down in front of me and walk away. Glad I caught this place in the very beginning when it was good... haven't been back. read more

Amazing fajitas with smoked brisket and smoked chicken! So much food. Two of us shared it. Fast friendly service. Ate dinner last night and lunch today. read more

We came during a conference and had a party of 30 (20 adults, 10 kids) with no reservations and they accommodated us and created seating with no problem. The food was delicious. The drinks were tasty. The service was very good. Especially with how many people we had. Would come here again. read more

I went here because the place was packed. Sat at the bar and there was only 2 other people at the bar. The service was ok. The food was meh. There surely is better Mexican food than here. I got the el pastor and the brisket tacos. read more

STOP LISTENING TO THESE PEOPLE THAT ITS GOOD!! If you're Hispanic like me this food was SOOO bad. 0 sense of authenticity and overpriced as hell!! If you're downtown and want a Mexican restaurant just go to jalepenos, 10x better than whatever this is. They didn't bring my friends taco after 30 mins of being here, it was ridiculous. It sucks that the food was so bad because the service was pretty good. read more

Makes Taco Bell look like 5 star food. The food is bland and overpriced save your money.

Food: Chicken Fajitas were seasoned but dry. Salsa was comparable to runny ketchup. Rice had turned into mush but was still served. Margaritas were good. Service: Was sat and waited 12 mins to get our drink orders taken. Had to flag down wait staff for anything. Went back for a second try: Seated quickly, but never waited on. Only a few tables inside, yet I was sat shoulder to shoulder with a stranger. The same plus-sized white gal with brown hair who sat me, stood between my and my random new booth mate's tables and rubbed her "lil donkey" against me more than once without a single apology. The menu she put on the table was sticky, which should've been the first warning sign. I waited 20 minutes with no greeting, no drink order, nothing. At one point, the same gal's phone started ringing under all her papers on a booth next to me that she was using as a desk, she slugged herself over to grab it before going right back to whatever she was doing instead of helping customers. I finished my water and walked out after nearly 30 minutes of being ignored. Save your time and money... eat anywhere else. read more

the food is pretty unique especially the street tacos. Coming for Texas the taco capital I'll recommend it. Harris was our server and he was great i recommend the taco plate. They also play R&B from the songbook of life. It's really clean open and lots of light! read more

They were out of almost everything then the food we did order was wrong. The only thing that was good was the margaritas. Only recommend coming here for chip and salsa and margaritas. read more

Ambience was great and we were excited to eat here after a trip to the legacy museum. However the food was overly Americanized and unflavored. We ordered the smoked chicken tacos - terrible, chicken enchiladas -terrible, and kids fried chicken with fries - very tasty. I also had the NY Whiskey Sour which was good. I don't think we'll be frequenting this establishment in the future. read more

Love this place! The patio is the best place to be during sunset hours and to see the fireworks after a Biscuits game. Service is always on point. read more

Excellent service. Food was flavorful, hood prices. Will be back and highly recommend.

Waited over 2 hours for food. In mean time we got no service on bringing simple things like refilling ice teas and bringing the water we ask for. And checking on us. In 2 hour we only saw our waitress 3 times. When she took our drink orders and when she took our food orders and when she brought the check. Worse service we ever had. Other tables that ordered after us were getting their food. No apology till we ask for an adjustment due to cold food and poor service. We understood that they had a party outside and understaffed. But just checking on us from time to time would have made it seem better. Poor management. read more

The food was fair a bit pricey for street tacos and an order of wings. The atmosphere has that downtown vibe and trendy. Not the same menu as the LD in Eastchase. All in I'd go back in a pinch. read more

Too expensive for what you get. First time I dealt with it and only went back for convenience to my hotel. Second time I got sick halfway through my meal (chicken). Wont be a third time. read more

It was a rainy night and we were staying at a hotel across the street, and saw the Little Donkey. We were pleasantly surprised. This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. The food was fresh and had flavor. The menu was varied. The service was friendly and fast. The staff greeted us and thanked us for coming as we left. There's a modern flair that we liked very much. It was a great choice for us. We can go back again!Get the Churros... crispy exterior and soft fluffy interior and served warm! Delicious. read more

I travel for work and eat at restaurants almost everyday and used to be a server for 3 years so when i say this i mean it, not only was the service some of the worst service i have ever received, as in meals out before drinks, misunderstanding of what is on the menu of the restaurant they work at, but right at the end of my meal i saw a chewed piece of gum on my plate after i moved a bowl of refried beans out of the way. sadly i had already almost eaten all of it and felt sick to my stomach for the rest of the night. knowing restaurant health code, something like this can get a business in serious trouble or worse put out of business. the food was taken off my bill but that does not make up for the disgusting act of serving one of your customers something covered in another persons spit. in short, i would never eat at this restaurant unless you like the mystery of whether you will get your drinks or food first or your plate will be infested with someone else's DNA. read more
