I really love the food service and atmosphere here! It gets very busy on Sundays, but they are open and have a very lively crowd and atmosphere. The staff is all really nice and the best server. You can get his name is Aaron. We got air food and we're served very promptly. Food was hot fresh and delicious. I had the recommended this to everyone who loves Mexican food and a good time.

Best burrito of my life! E tra friendly staff and a very fast kitchen. Food is amazing 10/10 the salsa was so good there was barely room left for te burrito. They are famous for a reason.

DONKEY TAQUERIA REVIEWS

No complaints here. In fact, I've only got good to report after my first visit. The atmosphere has a hip, downtown vibe. The service was friendly, prompt, professional, and helpful. Between an appetizer and two taco options, I can confidently say the food is on point. Plenty of outdoor seating for the warm months is clutch as well.

Creative and well curated menu. Variety of taco options, including vegan. Amazing margaritas and wide selection of quality tequilas to try. Fun atmosphere. Great for a group or date night. Outside seating for those perfect summer nights.

Chips and queso excellent. Tacos were good but I’m not the biggest fan of the tortilla which is a little bland/dry. For the cost, the tacos should have more fillings on them. Churros were an excellent dessert. Good service and atmosphere.

CANTINA MEXICAN GRILL REVIEWS

Found our new Mexican Restaurant! My husband and I LOVED it here. The food was amazing, the waitress we had was fabulous, and I loved the layout of the restaurant too. 10/10 will definitely return.

Great food. Excellent lunch menu. Enjoyable atmosphere. I had the lunch burrito and the presentation was very nice. Crisp lettuce, fresh onions and tomatoes, hot filling and a great meat sauce with melted cheese. As soon as you are seated you are served a basket of chips and salsa. The Cantina has never let me down.

We got the burrito and the salad, the food was very tasty, the portions were big. Service was fine, overall I really liked this restaurant.
