I visited Don Tello's with a few of my girlfriends and had a pretty basic 3-star experience. It was…read moremy first time there under the recommendation of my bestie but the Yelp reviews made me a bit hesitant. But I went with the vibes! Located in Lithonia, Don Tello's is located in a busy retail area and I loved that parking wasn't an issue at all. There were 2 arcade games at the front which I'm sure come in handy on busy days when children may become restless if their parents are waiting for a table. As we walked up to the hostess stand, I noticed the printed signage that so many mentioned in their reviews regarding no refunds, remakes, etc. Kinda makes you cautious! But we were quickly seated by friendly hostesses and we weren't turning back. The restaurant was huge and filled with plenty of space for hungry guests. I read reviews regarding their Cinco de Mayo celebration being on swole, and I can definitely imagine that! There were only a few people in our seating area during our visit, but I definitely appreciated that. Our waitress was sweet but quite forgetful. On a number of occasions we found ourselves asking for items two or three times. We'd ask a question and she'd respond in a calm "duh" kinda way as if we knew what was happening in the kitchen, lol. I'm a guacamole purist so when I ordered the Texas guacamole dip, I asked for it to be prepared tableside as that was listed as an option on the menu and I wanted a hand in deciding how much/little of each ingredient and enjoy the prep. When I asked about this, our waitress said, "No. No that's not possible." I asked why not and she said, "The kitchen, they prepare it in the kitchen. Ever since.. yeah, no." LOL not much of an explanation, we were all so puzzled. But I was set on the idea and knew I didn't want the regular guacamole dip because in pictures it looked like avocado puree. Moving along. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. I really appreciated that there were a number of a la carte options (as I never eat my rice and beans) and they were all priced under $7! Such a great deal. I ended up going with a shredded chicken chimichanga along with the guacamole dip and my girlfriends opted for tacos, a beef quesadilla, a burrito and an order of nachos. I'll say this - the portions were insane. My friends' quesadilla was filled up with meat and covered the entire plate (but wasn't cut up) and another girlfriends' nachos could have fed two people. My guacamole was a nice portion as well and I could tell that it was fresh. It was good, not the best I've had, but tasty. I could have used another avocado in the mix and just a litttttttle less lime. Overall, an okay experience but I'm not sure if I'll be rushing back anytime soon.

The night manager, Glennieca made to where I will never come back! Last night (Friday, 04/17/26) we were eating at bar. My husband ask the bartender for sour cream to go w/ quesadillas. We get bill that says open food $1.99. After asking what this was bartender says it's f/ sour cream. One we never was told it is was extra, 2nd we got maybe 2 tablespoon worth of sour cream* Asked for Mang. she comes and simple had no regard for our frustration. She had an attitude from the start very rude. Says "sorry that's the price". repeatedly. Our argument was we wasn't giving the CHOICE of saying yes or no. Nor did the staff inform us. This is why we are coming to the manager. As she strutted her shoulders. Her words were I know she didn't but u still have to pay. We said well what if we don't. She says we will call the police. It's not about the $ it's the principal. Then to top it off the bartender says if it doesn't say it on menu the we should know sour cream is extra. The end results was the bartender did not get a tip! If go there watch your bill and food is not dry. A new manager could have improve.

We started with the Chaparro margaritas (not too sweet or overly boozy) and the George Poppers (must try! - savory, affordable and perfectly spicy app) Combo of house salsas with chips offer a range of fresh to savory flavors and the house made hot hot sauce added the heat we love in our Mexican experience. House special entree "tex" was only above average, but the street corn (they call corn on the cob) was perfectly (temperature) hot with crema, cheese, lime and salt served on the side for you to dress the corn as desired. use it all...Best we've ever had! Service was also notable. The darling boy seemed to anticipate what and when without being asked without "bothering us". Like a five star steakhouse.
