I'm from San Diego and just about as close to the border as you can get. I don't know a stronger word to define authentic or I would use it! I've been in Billings Montana 20 years tried most of the Mexican restaurants here and hands down this place is it! They have a diverse menu the variety and the quality is outstanding! Excelente! I wouldn't doubt if the employees of the other Mexican restaurants in town come here to eat! Try it out!

It's a different kind of place. It's not a restaurant but not fast food either…read more The menu items are not prepared in advance for the most part. They have a drive thru and even if you call ahead you'll still have a bit of a wait. There's a nice selection of things and things you don't find often like tongue burritos. Menudo is available on the weekend. It's a cute spot but doesn't have the linger awhile atmosphere and that what makes this more of a fast casual. The food you get is plentiful, but doesn't have much flavor even after adding any of the available sauces. I don't know. Maybe I need to try a different time of day or different things on the menu but I haven't been overwhelmed so far.

She just kinda seemed like annoyed that I came to pick up my food when she was talking with someone outside and she had to go back in. The place seemed nice inside.

Every Friday night our extended family will meet up somewhere in town for dinner. Don Luis is definitely in the rotation as one of our favorites. The remodel years ago still gives the place a fresh cantina-vibe. We were greeted & seated right away. We ordered the chips with trio dips to start; creamy hot queso, fresh guacamole & saucy salsa. Everyone at our table then ordered something different and we were all happy with our choices. I had the chili relleno entree. To be honest my measure of a Mexican restaurant is based on how well this dish is prepared. Don Luis does not disappoint. The chili was fresh, stuffed with just the right amount of cheese and smothered in the most exceptional homemade sauce. And don't even think rice on the side is just the co-star. This Mexican rice has an unexpected amazing flavor. After leaving the restaurant we were still talking about how each of our meals were so good and very reasonably priced.

Now, I love spice and can handle quite a bit, but this was beyond next level. You can see the overload of jalapeño seeds in the photo. It was inedible. And sadly the rice and beans were so mixed in that they were a loss as well. Really disappointing. Also, no cilantro that I could taste or see.
