Plenty of parking. Service was fast and waitress was nice. Drinks are surprisingly good and strong for the price. The flour tortillas taste homemade. The red salsa isn’t spicy.

I got the shrimp Diablo, and I'm surprised I didn't see any reviews about this before going. It was amazing!! One of the best things I've gotten at any restaurant 🤤 the tortillas, chips and salsa are really great too. Rice and refried beans were good as always. The pico and guacamole were pretty bland- that's the only bad thing I have to say about this place. The staff were very nice and quick. Food came out quick and hot as well.

UPDATE*** Went again this past Saturday 11/4 and my meal was wrong and was received late at that. My niece didn't receive her meal until 15 minutes aftwr everyone else because i asked where her meal was. Again... NO manager!!! Always good food, but the last time we went we got the appetizer about 5 minutes after receiving our entrees... not cool and no manager to be seen. They should be checking tables to ensure no issues.

I enjoyed a delightful lunch with my family. I ordered the green chili chicken enchiladas, and I must say, both the food and service were truly exceptional. The restaurant exuded a fun ambiance, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

The Don’Key is always a great place to hang out with friends and have good food. Love their Don’key balls as an appetizer or even your full meal. If you love cheese and fajita meat this is something you don’t want any to miss. It’s a signature dish.

I’ve been here several times it’s one of the best Tex-mex restaurants in the area. We were lucky to meet with Haley who been working in this years for over than three years. She gave good recommendations from their huge list! Very comfortable place and super clean large parking lot inside bar. Awesome staff too! Highly recommended

I got married there today. From start to finish, the staff made this one of the best days of my life. Management, servers, hostess, chefs....EVERYTHING was PERFECT! I cannot find words to adequately express how great this place was or how grateful I am. I highly recommend them!

Let me first start by saying I went on Cinco De Mayo! Food was good. The nachos were my favorite. We did the shot with the worm! The festivities were cool but the shot itself was TERRIBLE. 12/10 do not recommend. The atmosphere was loud. We had to yell to talk to each other. The service was not great but gave a pass because they were very busy.

We ate here for lunch today and it was phenomenal. I recommend the don'key balls, pork fajitas, and Pinche Paloma... we will definitely be back!
