The restaurant is divided into two sections: a small bar area and a large restaurant area. The restaurant side has various tables with two to six seats. My wife and I arrived early on a Tuesday evening and reservations were not necessary. Upon entering, we were promptly seated. Shortly thereafter, a basket of corn tortilla chips arrived with a mild dipping sauce. I cannot attest to the dip, however, the chips were warm, lightly salted, and crispy. For an appetizer we ordered fried calamari. As an entree, I chose the Don Quijote Mixed Grill. This consists in marinated grilled skirt steak, pork loin, chicken breast, Latin sausage, tostones, white rice, and pinto beans. I substituted additional white rice for the pinto beans. The calamari arrived hot and they were delicious. Definitely to be shared by two. My entree arrived sizzling on a flat iron grill. Everything was delicious. I enjoy a hearty meal, but I could not finish the abundance of excellent food on my plate. Of course I grew a desert appetite so I ordered the fudge chocolate cake and a decaffeinated cappuccino. Both the cake and the cappuccino were excellent. My only negative comment was that I received a fatty cut of pork. Notwithstanding this, I would still give the restaurant six stars if I could. This is how good the food was. Takeaways 1. Reservations not needed mid-week. 2. Abundant parking. 3. Excellent service. 4. Fantastic food. 5. Great service. 6. Superb portion to price. Note: it would be possible to order the dish I had and easily split it between two people. read more

Nice ambiance. Went there for lunch recently after not having been there again since the first time, maybe five years ago or more. "How come we haven't been back here?" I asked my spouse. Ordered chile rellenos, the three taco meal, and had a pork belly appetizer that we shared between us. Took most of it home, and I have to say, I love Mexican/Latin food, but this was the blandest selection of food I have had since trying a can of Amy's vegetarian Tom Kha soup. Amy sucks every last bit of flavor, joy and life from Thai cuisine, and while the food at Don Quixote wasn't depressing, it lacked what I expect from Latin food: A little spice, some savor, cultural pride maybe. I guess that's why we hadn't been back. But, if you look at reviews, most others seem to like it pretty well, so you'll have to decide for yourself. I may have been there too early, just as the kitchen was warming up, or maybe just an "off" day. Your experience may vary. read more

Restaurant was nice, clean and decorated for Christmas. A small bar when you walk in. We were seated quickly and given salsa and chips. Salsa was chunky and mild, very good. My husband ordered beef tacos for an appetizer, which he enjoyed. A nice crunchy taco always hits the spot. For dinner I had the Paella Marinera. The flavor in the rice was very good. The calamari, cod fish, and shrimp were tender. The mussels and clams were so dry & overcooked, I couldn't even get them out of the shells. Very disappointing. My husband had the Mixed Grill. The steak, while very thin, was tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The chicken and Chorizo were also very good. Service was good & quick. By the time we were leaving, there was a wait with a line out the door. Food was worth trying and coming back for. read more

The food was not good. I ordered the Fajita. I've never had one that did not sizzle on the cast iron plate or with sauce. It was really strange. No flavor, no spices,only a weird thick sauce. Had to ask for lime to give the food some sort of flavor. The kids meal was such a rip off, $15 for Mac and Cheese in a small guacamole bowl with some fries on the side. Other places I usually order one and there is enough for a 7 and 3 year olds share. Can't even give me a whole $1.50 box of Krafts for $15. Hubby got a chimichanga. It only had a few pieces of meat. Nothing else inside. Don't think I will be back. read more

Changing my rating to 5-star because this latest experience was great. All their food is consistently delicious, wait times are reasonable, dining area is always clean, and wait staff are quick and attentive. Here's what we ordered this time around: - Pollo con champinones: chicken breast sauteed in creamy mushroom sauce. Served with yellow rice and green beans - Pollo con camarones: chicken breast and shrimp sauteed in creamy Spanish seafood sauce. Served with yellow rice and green beans - Torta de tres Leches: Sponge cake soaked in condensed milk, half & half, evaporated milk, topped with strawberries and whipped cream Everything was so good! I look forward to returning and trying more on the menu. read more

I used to frequent this restaurant before Covid & my mom loved it so I've held on to a fantastic memory of the place for a while now. I've been raving about it for years & we were finally in the area to stop in for dinner. It was Friday night so the place was packed which was a good sign to me! We sat in the corner, the seating between tables was super tight and my chair was pushed up against the wall so I couldn't move back or around. They tried to seat 2 other parties behind us and they reseated elsewhere or outside because they couldn't pull the chairs from the table to take a seat. Great! We had a corner to ourselves. The Pro is the service was phenomenal. I cannot complain; not at all. We ordered just waters since we're not heavy drinkers anymore & the wait staff ensured our glasses were always full. Our waitress was attentive and delivered everything we ordered perfectly. The Con is the food. It was off putting to me for the restaurant to be so busy; birthday party, families with children, date nights & the chips and salsa served to start had... stale chips? We had 2 servings and they weren't all stale but some were so maybe they pre-made the basket and this one came from the bottom of the stack? Idk. The salsa is odd like a duck sauce, mango salsa? It was sour sometimes & I questioned what it was made of the entire time. I was hungry so I ate it. We ordered the calamari as a starter. It was rubber. Chewy. Frozen Rings. I was hungry so I ate it. The sauce on the side has no flavor. It was not a red sauce. My bf had the Arroz com Pollo! It had chorizo in it which he did NOT enjoy & he said the chicken had no flavor, it was all bland. He said, "This is great for dog food!" as we packed it to go. I had the Cerdo Empanizado. No complain on the pork loin but the pinto beans were a horror. I had to smell them each time as I ate them like what the hell was wrong with these beans. At first I'm thinking "Oh I know! They're beans from a can." I smell them. "Oh I know! They're made with bacon?" I eat them. "Oh. Are these.... Expired?" I'm thinking... HOW. The restaurant was so busy. I'm thinking maybe they're frozen & then thawed out per order? WTH NO WAY. Yack. Idk. I couldn't sleep. This place was great. Sucks to lose another one to Covid. read more

Good old Don Quixote! I've been coming here for years and never leave disappointed. The sangria is delicious and the food is always comforting and consistent. The staff is friendly and will provide some fun birthday picture opportunities. I've also seen live music here in the past but have not seen in the last few times I came. I especially like the ambiance here with nice decorations and white table cloths. The bar section is also quite fun to hang out at while waiting for your party to arrive. Thank you for being read more

Went here for Cinco De Mayo Tuesday. What a bs disaster. Should have just went to a regular restaurant/bar. What a rip off. $17.50 for a drink? Get the f out! Plus on top of this, service was just ok. It wasn't as though they were pouring doubles let alone anything above and beyond any other establishment. No buybacks as well. F this place. I will never return. I'll give my loot to Orto Daisy's Bench Warmers Grumpy Jacks Finnbar etc. read more

Food was good and flavorful. Amazing vegetarian choices. Good place for family and friends Large portions and good options. Parking space is good read more

A friend and I went there for an early dinner this past Thursday. The place was practically empty when we arrived but filled up rather quickly. Very nice dinning area with a good side bar area, outside dinning is also available We were seated and given menus and a basket of warm chips and salsa was put on the table immediately, nice to get something to pick on while looking at the menu. We ordered a 1/2 pitcher of margarita's which while good were not in any way remarkable though it is nice to have the option of the 1/2 pitcher. We got an order of guacamole, which is served in a bowl made out tortilla chips. I'm not a huge fan of guac but this was very fresh and good. My friend who loves avocados and guac loved it. We also ordered the chorizos Sancho which was excellent & highly recommended. My only 'complaint' is it's not served with enough bread for dipping in the delicious sauce. Not a couple minutes after serving our appetizers my friends dinner entree, the chimichanga's was served. Not only was there not enough room on the table but why would they rush out her dinner, we had barely enough time to try the apps. Not only that but they just brought her dinner not mine, which I was grateful for but still... We had to have them take away some of the items on the table as there was literally no room. The chimichanga's were served with rice and black beans, my friend ordered one chicken and one beef and she said both were very good. I ordered the Paella Valenciana without mussels. It's served in a cast iron skillet and piled high, more than enough for two, maybe three people. Now I admit we over ordered so we took home most of our dinners and about half the guac & chorizos. The food was very good but they really need to work on the pacing of the service which took a bit away from the overall experience. read more

I've lived in the area for YEARS and am so angry with myself for never visiting this establishment before today. It's another one of those places that if you didn't know, you'd miss it. Clean and nicely decorated. Also has limited outdoor seating. Service: Staff was extremely friendly although a guacamole appetizer that was ordered never arrived so that was disappointing but there's always next time. Drinks: We went for happy hour so drinks were plentiful - mojito (one of the absolute best I've ever had), glass of sangria (also amazing, wasnt your simple boxed wine mixed in fruit), margarita and poloma (smokey and delicious) Food: The foooooood. Starter chips and salsa were served while looking over the menu. I'll agree with others as the salsa fell a little flat and was a little too sweet for my tastes but the chips were great annnnnd they were free and plentiful so they were a welcomed addition to the meal. Let's get to why you're all here though, the food.....oh myyyy, like I said at the beginning I am so disappointed in myself that after all these years, this was my first time visiting. The menu is extensive, so be prepared. We landed on the paella and skirt steak w/ shrimp. The paella was massive, literally overflowing with clams, mussels, chicken, sliced steak, shrimp and chorizo all of it outstanding and served piping hot. Equally as good was my others meal. Giant skirt steak cooked perfectly with tostones, rice/refried beans, and shrimp in a chipotle sauce. Everything was perfect. TL:DR - Friendly service, meh FREE salsa, amazing food. Must try. Happy hour - Monday to Friday 3-6 pm. read more

What a great spot we found tonight. We ate outside w Latin music and we didn't need to wait for a seat. On the south side of the building there was no wind. The host lit an outdoor heater to warm my husbands back. The night started w mojitos and margaritas both oversized drinks. The appetizer of guacamole was freshly made and outstanding. The dinner was so tasty. Arroz con pollo was just perfect w shredded chicken and chorizo sausage in the yellow rice. Served in an iron skillet it stayed warm even outside. My husband got the pork shoulder w rice and beans. He loved it and and I watched the meat fall off the bone. Delicious. Flan for dessert was phenomenal. The service was perfect. Never felt left alone outside. They were there just when we needed. So nice to eat outside one more time this season. read more

We celebrated my friends birthday at this cozy restaurant . They were able to seat us, even though we did not have a reservation in a very busy Friday night. Our server was so gracious and welcoming. The food was outstanding, and they did not rush us in the least. We all had a wonderful time, especially the birthday girl . I would not hesitate to come here again I am so happy I was introduced to this wonderful gem. For our dinners we had the Baja shrimp tacos, the coconut shrimp tacos, and the fajitas. The sweet platanos were cooked to perfection. Try the Apple margarita not is a seasonal special read more

I have been here a few times and yesterday I I was there with my family for lunch. Beautiful restaurant, excellent service, very good and extensive menu. I enjoyed my watermelon picante, and everyone enjoyed their meals, which were huge! My brother had arroz con pollo, his girlfriend had quesadillas, my mother had scrambled eggs with arepas, rice and beans, and I had a salad. I look forward to returning! read more

Very good food, but probably the most expensive Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to. Will only one or two drinks, your cost per person will be minimum of about $75, and that was without an appetizer or dessert, just coffee! Very nice dinner, but couples should expect $150 or more to eat there. read more

It's probably been about 6 years since hubbie and I have been to this restaurant. I forgot how much we enjoyed it. We usually go to Don Quiote in Patchogue but since we were driving by we stopped in. We were immediately greeted by the hostess. We sat at the bar and warmly welcomed by the lovely bartender. Water and warm chips were served to us within 2 minutes . Great job! Bar is small but has a warm comfortable feel to it. My opinion is because of the awesome staff. Drinks were amazing! We ordered the chicken wings and chicken fajitas which were done to perfection. A complementary salad comes with the meal and we didn't have to ask for it. Appreciate that! I wish you were a little closer to my home because I definitely prefer this location. We will visit from time to time. I love the layout and decor of this restaurant. The live music was nice and again the staff is wonderful! Highly recommended, hope to see you soon! read more

Service not as strong as it used to be. Food still really good! Make a reservation if coming on weekend because at reduced Covid capacity, gets packed quickly! Good choice for Mexican/Latino cuisine read more

I hope they can improve their service for future patrons. Service and drinks were disappointing. We will not return.

food not good last night. I don't understand why we ate there once on a Saturday night and it was delicious but going last night on a Tuesday night. Everything was old and just did not taste good. The waiter did take off our entrées, which was great. We really appreciated that the food was so bad we couldn't even eat it. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Miller Place. My wife had her Christmas party here a few weeks ago and it is DA BOMB! The food is really good but more importantly, the drinks. I knocked down three Margaritas on the rocks (which are outstanding) while I was there at the party as well as drinking homemade Sangria. My go to dish at Don Quijote is steak with rice and beans and the amazing stuff plantains. Don Quijote's also makes a great home made empanadas. This is just a fun spot. The owner is a sweetheart of a guy and the staff is always smiling (might be from the Sangria??) Over the years, we've been here for birthday parties, Friday night couple dates and just an all around fun time. Go for dinner, go on a date, sit at the bar alone. This place is made to have fun. Did I also tell you Friday nights they have Karaoke?? You might see me there, I'll be the one singing with the margarita glass in hand. read more

Delicious delicious food. Absolutely amazing food. Visited Don Quijote for the first time today and I truly loved everything about the restaurant. Especially the quality of the food. I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito. Talk about massive! Flour tortilla burrito, stuffed with some suckling carne, sweet plantains, yes! Sweet, hot plantains. And a generous amount of rice and black beans. Overall everything was phenomenal. The atmosphere was beautiful, the lighting, and the pictures on wall of tribes and culture of Mexico. Great job guys, will be visiting again. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Restaurant is beautifully decorated and unique. Food is delicious. Got the plain rain stuffed appetizer with chicken cheese and sour cream. So good and so filling. Could eat as a meal itself. The mojito was very strong and unique with vegetable stirrer, lots of mint and garnish. read more

Love this place. Dine here all the time with my girlfriends. Well at least we did prepandemic. Tuesday was our first time back there since before the pandemic and it was great.

Will definitely be back. read more

Service extremely slow. Food without flavor. None of our meals came out anywhere near the same time.

Have eaten here many times and it keeps getting worse. By far last night's service and food made me not want to come back. It took over an hour for the food to come out and they were not busy. My husband's food was cold and they forgot our appetizers. They even charged us for one extra soda before the bill came after all the screwups! $200 later, left aggravated and extremely upset. The waiter came to the table all of 3 times especially to give us the check. It's a shame because the place is nice and the atmosphere is fun! read more

I've been to Don Quixote many times but not in the past two years. I was very disappointed with the entire experience. Service was slow and below average. Food was not very tasty and chicken was dry and chewy. Very disappointed that an old favorite seems to have slipped so far. Others seem to like it though because it was packed on a Friday night. read more

I've had cocktails and appetizers here in the past and always enjoyed it so I thought I would try dinner takeout. I called a few days prior and asked about curbside pick up. The person answering the phone said yes, they can do curbside. I will admit I am Covid cautious. When I called tonight to place my order there was a clear communication problem and I had to read the entire description of the items I wanted to order. They could not understand me and after 5 minutes they finally read the order back to me correctly. They would not take my cc and told me they did not have curbside pickup, but, a large sign was in the window that said curbside pickup! I went in to get my order only to be left by the door without the person giving me the order. I finally ask someone else who after an endless period of time brings me the order. The fish dish I ordered, Zarzuela De Mariscos did not have rice as indicated on the menu. The calamari was like rubber. The plantains that came with the salmon dish ordered were over cooked. A waste of time and over $55.00. read more

Mexican and Latin I had the good fortune to hit this place with some friends for a night out and wow- I was totally impressed by both the vibe of the place and the food. The menu is impressive - mostly Mexican but with Latin items tossed in there -I was thrilled to see mofongo and couldn't wait to get that- ordered as an app. In fact the menu was so extensive, I had to go back and forth a few times on deciding on the final dish because I kept finding things I overlooked the first time through. We all ordered different things so we could share and they even brought out dinner sized salads which was unexpected - not a typical thing in a Latin place, The table next to us was having a fun time and ordered a pile of shots - too many apparently so they handed some over to us as well - aye aye aye... The drinks were all of the margarita variety and were well made and in some large glasses - perfecto. We hit the bar after - mostly to finish off our large cocktails and headed out - the bill was reasonable and we all had leftovers and a great time. I will definitely go back Parking lot in front. read more

Undeserving of any stars .....but can't post unless at least one is selected - I never give bad reviews but i hope no one else's BD celebration gets ruined!! Made a reservation for a group of 10 at 8pm to celebrate my daughters BD ... showed up at 7:58 to an over crowded, anti covid19 safe restaurant and was told a table was being set to wait outside it would be 10 minutes - 45 min later and still waiting - went Inside again and this time they said "NO TABLE FOR 10 WAS AVAILABLE" until some patrons left??! Why not say that from the beginning and not make us waste time and freeze outside ??!! We left ....WILL NEVER GO BACK !!!! Worse floor management ever . Completely ruined my daughters BD celebration without an apology!! This is completely unacceptable. if you can not handle the amount of customers then DO NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS!!!!!! read more

Wow. Wow, wow, wow! Was looking for something different and decided to try this place.

Was excited to try it since I've read good reviews. Appetizer of Buffalo Wings was AMAZING! started off right.... Salads never came, and I was very disappointed with my main course of 3 chicken enchiladas. The chicken was only partially shredded (large chunks mostly) and unseasoned. Uninspired meal lazily prepared. With so many choices available , I wont be back. read more

I was super excited to eat at the well recommended restaurant. Well yelp let me tell you everything that sparkles isn't gold and Don Quijote is not gold. Sancho Panza is what the restaurant should be called. The chicken was bland , the steak was far below quality.

Avoid if you can! the servers are very rude you wait very long for your food and drinks and it is a little pricey. The final straw when I gave this place another chance was when we were waiting for almost 40 minutes for our margaritas, we asked the server what the hold up was and she told us they ran out of ice and "more was coming soon" we asked again 15 minutes later and received a response of "look do you want the drinks or not" we finished our meals paid the check and left as quick as possible read more
