There was a TV above our booth, but it was muted, and the lack of music made the place feel unnaturally quiet. Two of us ordered beef fajitas, which were served on a plate instead of a skillet, so they weren't sizzling when they arrived. Additionally, two of my tortillas were hard at the edges. The rice was plain and lacked seasoning, while the refried beans were just standard refried beans—arguably the highlight of the meal. One of the guys at our table ordered a taco salad and requested shrimp to be added. He received the shrimp, but there was no ground beef, which seemed to be a misunderstanding on the waitress's part. However, the salsa and chips were quite tasty, and we finished them quickly, wishing we had more salsa. Ironically, just as we were getting up to leave, they decided to turn the music on. We’ve decided to stick with Don Tequilas from now on.

However, we did have to repeat our drink and food orders a couple of times, which was a bit frustrating. It’s unclear whether the server was simply distracted or if it took her a moment to process the information. Nevertheless, everything arrived quickly, and the food was excellent. Would we return? Absolutely!
