Don Taco Bar And Grill

Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. The atmosphere was delightful. We were met with a warm welcome. The lighting was adequate as well as the decore. The service was wonderful. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu, and extremely pleasant. The chips and salsas was extremely good. The salsa had a well balanced flavor, and you could tell it was made fresh. I had the California Burrito. Which was flavorful and filling. My friend had the Shrimp Mexican Tacos and he informed me that they were good as well. The reason for the the 4 star set was cleanliness. It wasn't baby, but wasn't the best. The bathroom had paper towels on the floor. The table was a bit sticky. And some of the decore had dust on them. 4 out of 5 stars 🌟

Used to be my favorite restaurant. Ate here at least once per week. Last time, it was laundry day, and I only had a bunch of coin change in my pocket to leave as a tip. It was $5+ in coin change, which was actually a great tip compared to my total bill, over 25%. I figured money is money, right? Apparently not. The next time I tried to eat here, I was approached by the owner / manager immediately, who had a strong accent and was very rude / condescending when I couldn’t hear what he was saying over the loud music / environment. He loudly exclaimed “DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?” and said his servers were “insulted” by the tip left in coin change. And that they would rather I not leave a tip at all in the future. I thought money was money, right? Wrong. I didn’t mean to “insult” anybody. It was laundry day and it was all I had. With how embarrassing they made the situation, much ado over nothing, I am afraid to eat here again. What if they do something to my food because they were “insulted” ? One time there was a mysterious object in my bowl of chips. I know what it looked like, but who knows what it was... Needless to say I didn’t eat that bowl of chips. I’ll let the pictures of it speak for themselves... might be some sort of problem going on here... I don’t know. I’ve seen similar things elsewhere before... not usually in food. Very unsettling. I let it go at the time, but now, who knows... Probably won’t eat here again. They can keep the change.

To start, the service was good, very attentive and nice young lady waitress… BUT this rating is for the food. This was the WORST steak taco I’ve ever had. It’s like it was made with steakums or some other frozen shaved beef. Definitely not fresh grilled flank steak or sirloin as it should be. Is this supposed to be “authentic” Mexican food?? I would not recommend this place to a friend. Bottom of the list.

As soon as I walked in I loved the ambiance with the decorative pieces to the music - just perfect. We were greeted and sat immediately. They gave out chips and salsa to start and the chips were nice and warm. It doesn’t seem like the staff was that talkative almost like something was wrong so not sure what that’s about but all together very amiable. Whatever chile sauce they gave us was great! Great kick to it and they have reasonable combo prices. They’ve got everything too from tortas to churros and ice cream. This place is also in a great location with plenty of parking in the back. I saw a lot of people in the restaurant by the time I left too so seems pretty popular here. Hopefully I’ll be back in the future!

If your next meal isn't at Don Taco your cheating yourself! You'll appreciate the colorful, comfortable, and clean dining room. The open kitchen concept allows dinners to see their meal being prepared. Nothing to hide here! The margaritas are well balanced and served in an appropriately sturdy glass with a salted rim (of course) and a friendly lime wedge garnish to complete this familiar cocktail. These won't be the reason you come back, but they're good. Fresh, house-made salsa with semi-house made tortilla chips are brought to the table upon being greeted. The salsa is bright in both color and taste! A nice, slow, building, medium heat slightly lingers in the mouth after a few bites and you'll be happy for the beautiful melody of flavors that accompany the spice of this salsa. I ordered the lunch portion (2) of the Mexican Tacos and I chose shrimp as my protein. Steak, chicken, shrimp, Mahi Mahi, and veggie, are the meat options. All served with your choice of corn or flour tortillas and sides of refried beans, Spanish rice, fresh Pico de Gallo, and green chili sauce. Flavorful, fresh, and completely delicious! Go early and bring a friend. A true gem in the heart of downtown Dearborn. I'll certainly be going back for more!
