Description

Damian's restaurant offers a mixed dining experience that reflects its long-standing presence in the community. While many patrons rave about the warm service, vibrant atmosphere, and standout dishes like Tacos El Pastor and delicious enchiladas, others raise concerns about food quality and preparation methods, particularly the use of lard in vegetarian options. Additionally, some guests have reported unpleasant odors and inconsistent service. Despite these drawbacks, loyal customers appreciate the authentic flavors and reasonable prices, making Damian's a spot worth visiting, though potential diners may want to consider individual preferences before making a reservation.

I finally checked out this restaurant after hearing so many negative reviews that seemed unfounded. My wife and I decided to share an order of fajitas, and I had a Modelo Chelada to drink. Everything was fantastic, including the service. My only minor complaint is that there could have been a bit more meat compared to the veggies. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. We also tried the fried ice cream, which was absolutely delicious! I would usually give it 4 stars, but I'm giving it 5 because I think people are being overly harsh.

This place has a strong odor, reminiscent of sewer gas, that is quite overwhelming. The quality of the food has declined during my recent visits, and last night it was particularly disappointing. I travel for work and often stay nearby, but I won't be returning to this restaurant. I hope you can identify and resolve the source of that unpleasant smell.

Let me just start off by saying I absolutely adore Damien 's. I 've been going here since I was a kid. The restaurant truly is beautifully done. The service is spot on and everyone is warm and welcoming. The food is very reasonably priced and delicious. The only negative thing I could say is the salt water fish tank at the entrance that used to once be beautiful badly needs to be cleaned and maintained. It stinks, bad. I feel bad for the fishies : '

We've been going to Damian's for almost 20 years. It's our favorite Mexican Food restaurant. The food is always great, and the service is outstanding. We always say hi to Ana and others that we've got to know. Friendly atmosphere everything is tasty. The Tacos El Pastor is in my opinion the best I've ever had and I try it at different places if I'm out of the area to see if it comes close. We were just there Saturday night and you guessed it I had Tacos El Pastor.

Good service. I'm of Mexican ancestry and I can honestly say the food was authentic and delicious. Salsa good and spicy. Red enchilada sauce taste like home made. My husband and I stopped in town and were glad we tried Damian. If in the area again will definitely drop by again.
