Taco Bell

I don't make it out to Alexandria too often, but since it was a halfway point between a friend and…read moreme, it worked out perfectly. My friend chose Don Taco because it's one of his favorite spots, and he kept raving about how great the tacos were. And because really, you can't go wrong with chips, salsa, and drinks for a quick happy hour. The salsa which is not pictured had a great smoky kick, the tacos were very flavorful, fresh and hot. The host and waitress were very sweet, kind and attentive. The atmosphere was pretty cool, nothing to complain about. A lot of space, we sat upstairs which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, this place isn't handicap accessible so if you're unable to walk 2 flights of stairs this wouldn't be the a great option. Thank you Don Taco Staff

I visited after my yoga party, and one thing I really appreciated was that they were able to…read moreaccommodate our large group at the last minute. We had the entire upstairs area to ourselves, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and I loved the mini fans placed throughout the space--perfect if you're feeling a little too warm or have enjoyed a few drinks! As for the service, it was a bit hit-or-miss. The young lady who took our orders was pleasant, but it took quite a while for drinks to come out. There were also several missing items from people's orders, which caused some frustration since those items had been ordered well in advance. Now, onto the food--the real star of the experience! Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals and had great things to say. I ordered a salmon taco, which I actually saved and ate the next day for lunch, and it was still delicious. The queso, however, wasn't a favorite among our group. On the other hand, the chips and salsa were a hit. The mocktails were excellent, and everyone seemed to enjoy their cocktails as well. Despite a few service hiccups, the food, drinks, and atmosphere made for a great experience. I would definitely visit again.

The protein in the taco is well made and tender and comes on a single flour tortilla and a sauce and some veggies. It is missing the double corn tortilla, Cilantro and and sautéed onions I associate with a authentic Mexican street taco but still is very tasty just the same and definately not one of the Americanized abominations you see at so many restaurants (: . Chips and Salsa were quite good as well and they make a nice house Margarita that was reasonably priced (Thank you Happy Hour!) that is well made with a good 100% Blue Agave tequila. To be honest with you the Margarita's and Happy hour pricing is what brought us to this restaurant and we were definately not disappointed. the restaurant itself has a nice industrial vibe to it and does not have the colorful Mexican decor many of the restaurants do that I am used to in Michigan. Having said that it is still a very casual and comfortable environment that definately adds to the overall dining experience. Staff was quite friendly with good follow up and definately a strength of the business. Overall a very enjoyable dining experience with their own unique spin on what they call a street taco. Good food, Reasonable prices and good margaritas are hard to beat making this an excellent dining spot if Mexican food is your thing.

I came here with a group of girlfriends for a pleasant Sunday evening. We sat outdoors because the…read moremusic indoors was too loud to hear each other talk - but the patio was lovely. We started with the standard chips and salsa, and the two salsas were unique and delicious. Added queso and gobbled up almost 3 baskets of chips between us - delicious. The mojitos were strong and the margs were pretty good. My vegetarian dinner companion found plenty of options and enjoyed her black bean burrito (get the white rice instead of Spanish rice). I had the seafood burrito, which was good but very rich and I could barely finish it (though that could have been the 3 baskets of chips). Our server let us stay out chatting well into the evening. I'd come back here with the girls any day!

The accompanying salsa was tasty. We also liked the queso dip that we ordered as a side. JP ordered the attractively presented breakfast burrito and found it to be very good. The rest of us ordered the ground beef enchiladas. They come with Mexican rice and refried black beans. I thought the enchiladas were good but really needed substantially more cheese and red sauce because they were kinda dry. But there was a question about the preparation of the margaritas. JP requested his first margarita be agave free (i.e. not sweet). It turned out great. But when JP and our friend ordered another round, the second round was yellowish orange instead of green, and they were sweet. Our server insisted the margaritas were made the same way the second time. She did agree to have them re-made, but the remade ones were identical to the ones that we sent back. Since I don't drink margaritas and don't have a vested interest in that aspect of Tacos and Tequila, I'd like to come back to further explore their menu.

After trying the Margarita it was a bit of a hit or miss for me personally. On the positive side, The Margarita's are indeed quite tasty and I can see why people like them so much. On the negative side, the base tequila for the Margaritas is Montezuma which is a an inexpensive mixto tequila (not 100 percent blue Agave and has additives to give it a unique flavor). These additives effect the taste profile, in this case in a positive way for many people and are not the classic Agave forward notes you would get from a good 100% Blue Agave Blanco tequila which is my preferred style of Margarita and how to make an authentic Mexican style Margarita. Having said all that I still enjoyed my drink along with the quaint outdoor front porch that I had my drink on. Definately a place to try if you are in the area and see how it compares to other Margarita's you have had.

There's room to sit comfortably, eat, and actually talk without feeling rushed or crowded.The staff stood out as especially pleasant and welcoming. As with other restaurants in the chain, customers order at the counter from right to left telling them what you want on your order. You follow your order to the end of hte counter where you pay for it and ither take it to go or take it to your table. Drinks are by the end of the counter in a self service setup. Our party ordered a chicken burrito and a chicken bowl with lettuce instead of rice. The portions were a decent size. Everything looked fresh and well put together. Prices were reasonable for what you get and the economy. . It's not bargain-basement cheap, but it feels fair and consistent. Overall, this Qdoba delivers exactly what you hope for: easy parking, a comfortable space to eat, good service, solid portions, and fair prices. A very nice experience and a spot I'd happily return to and recommend to others.
