I started coming to Don Orange one night for taco Tuesday and margaritas. The food was fantastic and the drinks were even better! I started coming on other days and have enjoyed every visit since. The bartenders and staff are so professional and always attentive. Christian is the best bartender. He is always quick with my order and his drinks are always delicious! He has the best recommendations for both food and drinks. He was a large reason that I started inviting my coworkers and friends. I knew they would be in great hands! The vibe of Don Orange has definitely changed over the years and in my opinion for the better! It's nice having a great place to invite friends or coworkers with attentive staff and great food! I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I came with my coworkers for a cute little brunch and we had a great time! It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday around 11am. A few of us got some yummy cocktails but they have coffee options too not on the menu so just ask! My coworker got a really good horchata latte Lots of good brunch menu options and they also have their regular menu to order from as well. I got the chorizo & carnitas scrambled which was on a bed of potatoes and it was really delicious and filling. read more

I was at Don Orange today for lunch with a wonderful group of my students from the University of Redlands! It was FANTASTIC! The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service A-1! Everyone had an array of different dishes and everyone was thrilled. The server and chefs were also very kind to manage special requests as needed. For example, I wanted a watermelon juice with mint that was not specifically like that on the menu and they made it happen and it looked like a work of art - so refreshing! Such a beautiful, artistic atmosphere with lovely background music at a very reasonable level to allow for comfortable conversation. The manager was so nice and accommodating our large group of 10 and we were seated in a perfect place. It was exactly what i hoped for - roomy and still in the festive heart of this lovely restaurant! This was my first time there and I will definitely be back soon and will joyfully bring lots of friends again! I highly recommend it! It is perfect place for any occasion! Thank you, all, at Don Orange! You helped make this to be such a memorable experience! I can't wait to be back! read more

Finally found a spot in Redlands that I actually enjoy. Had such a great experience the food was honestly amazing highly recommend the short rib and the lobster enchiladas, both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. For drinks, I had the Jalisco Old Fashioned and a spicy cucumber margarita, and both were so good. What really made the night stand out though was the service. Our waiter, Julian, was amazing, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect the entire time. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and drinks. read more

First time here and on Cinco de Mayo. I arrived around 5pm, it was busy and lively. I called ahead and they don't take reservations, and happy hour goes till 6pm. It was about a 10 min wait for a small table. The menu is LARGE. There was no happy hour menu, had to wait for the server to tell me what the happy hour menu was. I ordered the hibiscus and watermelon margaritas, both were good and not overly sweet. According to the server they make all their syrups in house. I ordered street corn and bean dip off the happy hour menu and a couple of $3 tacos which is all day on Tuesdays. I liked the asada and won't do the carnitas again. My friend liked her shrimp tacos so much so that she ordered it twice- entree, regular menu. I appreciated the vibe and the service was top notch! I would try this place again. read more

We went on a double date with my husband's twin and his wife, and they suggested Don Orange since it's one of their favorite spots. From the moment we walked in, I could see why. The place has such a great vibe--stylish and thoughtfully decorated with a really cool atmosphere. The huge mural on the wall immediately caught my eye and gives the whole space a unique, artistic feel. Service was top notch from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel relaxed and fun rather than rushed. They also make excellent cocktails here--definitely worth trying if you visit. All four of us absolutely devoured our meals. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and it's clear they put a lot of care into the food. It's the kind of place where you find yourself talking about how good everything is while you're eating it. Between the atmosphere, great drinks, and delicious food, it made for such a fun night out. We all agreed this is definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again. read more

This past Friday, we made a quick stop. My experience overall was good! I would come back for dinner or lunch. The watermelon cocktail was delicious!! The only bad point was the host. My friend checked to ensure there were chairs available at the bar before we walked in. When we walked in, to be polite we asked the host if we could just sit at the bar. She said NO, all seats were taken...excuse me ma'am, you didn't bother checking. We told her we had seen empty chairs so then she quickly glanced and said "oh okay" with an attitude. That part wasn't pleasant and probably not the best to be the first interaction upon entering the restaurant. read more

AMAZING FLAUTAS! I don't usually go looking for Mexican food. So, if I happen to go looking, this is one of my go to locations. I prefer going to the restart during their lunch time because their lunch menu has more reasonably priced food for Mexican cuisine options... Regardless, aside from pricing, the food is often absolutely fabulous! I just wish I could get fabulous tacos everywhere and perhaps for a bit less. Their chicken flautas is something I recently tried and I was amazed! The service and ambiance here at the restaurant has not disappointed me once. It is one of the reasons why I find myself not resisting to go back. read more

Just had Company Xmas party here last Thursday. The service was great. Staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. I can only review base on my experience and my taste. I love the churros actually my first time having churros with milk and chocolate topping. The chicken enchiladas is good but I am used to the regular chicken enchiladas- my first time as well and a little too spicy not hot chili spicy... maybe my palate needs conditioning to this flavor... it's flavorful and tasty. The drinks are great not water down. The ambiance and decor are giving a cool vibe. Restrooms are clean and located outside still inside the building though. The Parking is a pain or unless you go straight to the parking structure about 7-10 minutes walk. Overall its a very nice Party and I had a good time. Shout out to Christine! you rock! Thank you very much. read more

Food was ok/good but small portions not justified by price. Drinks I thought were too pricey.

First visit here today. We were supposed to visit Cedar Agave upstairs & even though we made a 5 pm reservation, they said they were closed. We are from Palm Springs area. Not close. We decided to just eat here as we were hungry. I had a Passion Mule. It was good. My husband had a pineapple margarita. He enjoyed it. My chicken enchiladas were supposed to have chicken Tinga in them. They didn't. I hate false advertising. I needed salsa for my rice & beans but nobody came back to check on us for quite some time. Service is slow. My husband enjoyed his birria tacos. The fries were good too. The crème brûlée was simply OK. I've had much better. Not sure if I'd return, maybe when in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

11/19/25 After an event a few doors down, we decided to continue the party at Don Orange Tacos-- a nifty place to hangout & get out drinks/grub on. Service quick& friendly with delicious food. I love the vibe here, good music playing. The bar set up is aesthetically pleasing. Our server Jimmy was attentive & efficient. Hubby ordered the Chingon Burrito while I opted for the nachos to share among friends. For some strange coincidence, they all ordered the taquitos. Our food & beverages arrived shortly & we all enjoyed our selection. The portion of the nachos was sizable that even as we shared it, there was still plenty to take home. Would definitely return if in the area. Street parking (free) is available & a parking structure about a block away. We got lucky as we found a spot right in front of the restaurant. read more

This restaurant has an inviting industrial-modern décor with a great bar and a spacious patio. The open-air seating in the front of the restaurant gives you the feeling of being outdoors while still having plenty of coverage. Inside, there are three clean, gender-neutral restrooms--just remember to ask for the door code. Toward the back, there's a charming oyster bar that feels a bit like a speakeasy. The staff is incredibly friendly. Not only did our main server take great care of us, but several other staff members--who weren't even assigned to our table--checked in on us and helped clear plates. The teamwork made the service stand out in the best way. I visited during brunch, but they also offer some lunch and dinner items, so you can get a good sense of the full menu. I highly recommend the filet mignon tacos, shrimp tacos, and the breakfast burrito. The burrito is large enough to split and is both delicious and filling. The tortilla soup and street corn are also must-tries, and you'll almost certainly leave with a to-go box. The Diablo sauce is available on the side; despite the name, it isn't too spicy. The chips and salsa are excellent as well, with a mild salsa that most people can comfortably enjoy. A couple of things to note: they serve only pinto beans (no black beans), and they do not take reservations. When we arrived at 11:30 a.m., we were seated quickly. They open at 11, and while a small crowd formed, the wait seemed only about 5-10 minutes. Drink-wise, I recommend the spicy cucumber margarita. And don't miss the shrimp ceviche--it's so fresh and flavorful that you can easily enjoy it with just a spoon rather than using tortilla chips. One small touch I appreciated is that they leave a pitcher of water at your table, which is simple but smart. There's also plenty of nearby street parking and parking lots within walking distance, making the location very convenient. read more

As I made my way home from a work conference in Los Angeles to La Quinta, I had already been in standstill traffic for 3 1/2 hours. I decided to pull off the road in Redlands searching for dinner so I could wait out the traffic. I went to yelp to see what was around and saw some great reviews of this little treasure. As I drove down State Street, something was calling me inside and I from the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew that I had found a great spot! When I got to the bar, I was greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders I've met in a long time. Her name is Cassie..she had an energy around her that was welcoming and kind. We struck up a great conversation, and although I was asking her questions, she was attentive to all of the other guests and orders coming in. She handled everything with ease and like a pro I kept thinking, how pleasantly surprised I was to have stumbled upon this amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and of course it's Taco Tuesday so I was excited to try their Carnitas and Carne Asada tacos... They were unbelievable! The artwork and the vibe in this place is unreal, and you feel instantly at home with incredible energy swirling around the entire spot. Then I was blessed to meet the general manager (Rafael) who was equally kind and welcoming. You can tell this is a place that takes good care of their people and that everyone is very happy working there. I can always tell when there's a good culture happening because the people are thriving, smiling and at ease. It should be effortless because that's when you know they love what they're doing, and they believe in the company. I'm not sure if I'll make it back through Redlands again soon but if I do, this will be my first stop and it should be yours. If you're driving through, definitely make it a must see and ask for Cassie and Rafael read more

HH Mon-Fri 2pm-5pm with lunch specials 11am-2pm. Margarita Mondays and taco Tuesdays all day! Great tacos & good times. This spot has some curb appeal. Luv the layout of the space. The decor captures your attention at every angle. Service was awesome! There's traditional menu items elevated with their special touch. Wish there were some extra salsa options with more heat and a touch more seasoning on the chicken. Food looked great but was a bit bland. High and low top tables, half booths. Walls of tequila displayed. Right in downtown Redlands next to The State. Limited parking right in front or parking lots, garages within a block. read more

The host sat me rather quickly and he let me know that Cassie would be my server. I waited watching her work certain tables and never coming to me. Once the host realized she never came to me after being seated for so long he brung me water and let me know cassy was indeed very busy. The funny thing is I notice cassy serving a group of 4 women who came in after me but I didn't say anything. Both glasses has food particles on them so I never drank any of the water. I eventually was able to order with the host he brung me a fruitas margarita which was pretty good but I had to make sure nothing was floating in the drink or on the glass. Shortly Cassy comes over and tried to take my order I let her know my order was placed already. No one really checked on me to see if I needed anything however I'm watching a couple that came in after me as well get great customer service. The tacos were $3 because of taco Tuesday. I ordered two carnitas and one chicken I give it an 8/10 which is the reason I gave the establishment 2 stars. read more

it's honestly what i expected for a fine dining mexican food restaurant. definitely not traditional based on past Mexican food experience living here in socal. I did appreciate that the foods were unique in their own ways. however I do feel that the flavors were very simple; i think if they offered sauces/salsas complimentary with every entree i'd appreciate the eating experience way more. we went on a weekday night, so the service was fast and our server kept checking in on us. however the ambience was not that great for a quiet date night like we intended; there was a DJ there and it was pretty loud. update: I walked by there a few days ago and they were open for lunch time and was definitely a lot quieter. read more

Food 3.5/5 I was glad to see they offered a lunch specials menu. I ordered a classic burrito, which came with a side of rice and beans. The portion was generous and reasonably priced, and I'd rate the flavor a 3.0-3.5 out of 5. My friends had similar impressions of their meals as well. Customer Service 4/5 Customer service was decent overall. Some staff members were friendly, checked in on us throughout the meal, and were accommodating to our needs. Ambience 5/5 One of my favorite aspects of the experience was the ambiance. The space felt open and inviting, with comfortable seating and decor that I really enjoyed. Cleanliness 5/5 Don Orange was very clean. I visited during lunchtime when it wasn't busy. Wait Time 5/5 The staff was attentive and efficient, always available to take our order and quick with both responses and food service. Cost 5/5 This is a beautiful restaurant with affordable food prices. They offer a lunch specials menu with generous plates under $20, and their happy hour is definitely a plus. One thing to keep in mind: I ordered a small side of salsa for my burrito, and there was an extra $3 charge that wasn't mentioned beforehand. While the price isn't unreasonable, it's helpful to know in advance so you can decide if you want to spend extra, especially since salsa is complimentary at many other places. Drinks 5/5 I was very pleased with the drinks. I had a horchata during happy hour, and it was flavorful and perfectly sweet. My friend ordered the Sandía Fresca cocktail, which was refreshing, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. The happy hour deals made it an even better experience,I'd come back for the drinks alone. read more

The food overall was okay but I would come back for brunch again just because everything was so pretty inside, the searing is comfortable and the wait staff is awesome. read more

Don Orange - Cheesy Beef Birria Tacos - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Redlands, California

So we stopped by this restaurant which wasn't our first choice my wife had made reservations with the sister restaurant upstairs which apparently was closed because as the manager said there just wasn't enough reservations so we said ok we'll just eat here which we did. The service was good the drinks took a little while to get but I enjoyed my margarita de piña which was pretty good. I ordered the "Queso Birria Tacos" which were beef which is barbacoa not Birria (birria is goat) anyways I still enjoyed the tacos which were well seasoned & well done!. I also ordered fries on the side & they were good French fries!. For dessert a creme brulee which was good. My wife had ordered the chicken timga enchiladas which she was disappointed by. Overall I enjoyed the meal I had myself. The ambience was nice. We'll see if we do come back to try the sister restaurant when in the area... PS better be open this time! Haha read more

Cute cocktail bar in Downtown Redlands. My husband and I went here on a Friday evening with some friends for happy hour. They have happy hour from 3-6p. The menu is pretty limited but is still a steal for happy hour. There are 4 or 5 drinks and 3 food items. I got the hibiscus marg which was a little too sweet for me but was good. My husband got the old fashioned and enjoyed it. Our friends got the spicy cucumber marg, watermelon marg and hibiscus margs. When we went around 430p on a Friday, there was plenty of open seating. Consider checking it out the next time you're in the area read more

The food here was really good and I had no complaints on the food. It was very flavorful and when I ordered it was good. I ordered the lobster enchiladas with the side to the salad and the lobster enchiladas very good. Also ordered appetizers for the table and the Flatas was very good and the bean dip was also good so I will recommend ordering that for appetizers. Came to celebrate a birthday... However, the service is not up to par . When mu family got there They said that it would be a two hour wait. In fact it was only 20 minutes to wait. I am not sure why they said that but I did not like that. Also, they took a while to take our order and they forgot one of the drinks we have ordered. The other con is that they put too much garnish on their food when they do not need to. It's better without all the extra. The ambiance is cool to come to since it's in downtown Redlands. It's a fun atmosphere. I do like the prices and the patron shot flights. If you're into tequila try it!! The food is good just the service lacked.

I was blown away when I walked into Don Orange. The ambiance made me felt like I was at an upscale modern restaurant in LA. It's beautifully decorated with nice air flow and had a pretty large bar area. I felt like we ordered half the menu and to my surprise, everything was amazing except for the gourmet tacos--filet mignon. I thought since it was gourmet, flavor combinations would have been more complex but unfortunately it's just slices of filet mignon with onions and peppers. Should have just called it a filet mignon fajitas because that's exactly what they were. As for our drinks, shots, appetizers and entrees, we loved everything. But what stood out were the street corn, and flautas de pollo for starters. For entrees we had the Birria tacos and orange glazed salmon. The star of the show was definitely the orange glazed salmon, the salmon was flavorful with a nice crispy crust, flaky filet on the inside topped with the pineapple orange salsa was life-changing. This dish came recommended by our server and it did not disappoint. This was everyone's favorite. Unfortunately we felt like our server was always no where to be found. He wasn't personable and didn't really seem to care for our table. I'm just thankful he gave us a good recommendation. All the other servers around us seem to be attentive to their guests so I'm not going to hold service against them. Overall, nice atmosphere to be in, whether with friends or something more romantic, this is the place. Good food. Good ambiance. Decent service. Will definitely be back! read more
