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.

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.

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 : '

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.

Unfortunately, everything on the menu is cooked in lard, including the chips and tortillas. I am a vegetarian, and our waitress said everything on the vegetarian menu is also cooked with lard. This should certainly be written on the menu. It is extremely unfortunate to think people with religious food restrictions have eaten here and been unaware of everything being made with pork products. Please, please indicate this on the menu.
