I usually LOVE this location, but it was just not great the other day. The chips were sadly stale. The quesadilla I ordered was very tiny. It was still tasty, but super small. The service also was not the best. I'll still go again because it's my fav Mexican in the area but was disappointed this time! read more

Prices have gone up so much and the food isn't good anymore. Extremely salty. Every little extra you ask for, they charge you...even more chips. I'll be going elsewhere for Mexican. read more

Amazing, hot food and excellent service. Will definitely be coming back! Make sure you try the street tacos

The food was great! Huge portions. Our waiter greeted us with a smile and was super knowledgeable about the menu, he gave great recommendations. Everyone in the restaurant was laughing and having a great time, and it's family friendly too! read more

Don Tequila - Pork belly Tacos al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Picked up take-out dinner for 6. Online menu was not very detailed, very colorful with photos, but no details, so difficult to determine if accurate or any sides accompanied the entrees. Two had street tacos - one with carne asada and another al pastor. Both seemed fine, but lacked lime wedges, radish slices as typical street tacos we have had in the past. The lime juice really makes a difference. Another person had nachos beef - which I can't find on the menu now (shows how poor the online menu is) - large aluminum pan with nachos, beef, cheese, sauce, lettuce. Looked good. Another two people shared a triple combo - which I can't find on the menu, but it was like 3 quesadillas with different protein. They thought they were to get rice and beans, but none in the container? Two had cheese dip and quest funded - both looked good - hard to tell if it came with chips, so we ordered chips on the side. I can't imagine the cheese dip without chips, but maybe? So, restaurant okay, food okay, but menu looks cute, but no details to help the customer know what they are buying or should have in their take out. Try someplace else next time. read more

I always enjoy Don tequila but it seems like they maybe getting racist to their own ethnic group. I was there for about an 2.5 hours with my family and waited 1 hour to be taken care of and then was just ignored the whole time with messed up order but soon a white customer came in they would hop right on it... I said to the attendant "what going on it's like yall racist" and they said "we have to take care of our prioritized customers first" which absolutely disgusts by this comment. Won't eat here again. read more

I visited on July 5, 2024 for takeout. I asked what vegetarian options were available. The menu has an extensive vegetarian section. I chose the potato burrito, #8. I enjoyed it. read more

Of all the restaurants within 5 miles, my family chooses Don T's more than half the time, it's a household staple We are never disappointed with the food, the service, the cost. When traveling and eating Mexican, all other restaurants pale in comparison. Our most recent meal t Don T's, last night, may have even achieved greater greatness; burritos are now served in their own burrito plate, keeping the sauces and toppings from mixing with other plated items. Also served with rice and beans, the two plates now take less room on the table leaving more room for the salsa and chips, which are always fantastic. I see many of the non-5 reviews are takeout customers, something I've never done, so cannot speak to. But like all the other 5 raters, when Mexican is on our minds, we are glad Don T's is nearby. read more

We eat here about once a week. My hubby is a pescatarian and they always have a nice selection of vegetarian and seafood/fish options. I am an omnivore, and there is plenty to choose from! Fish, chicken, pork, beef- it's all god. I've been trying to try something new each time, and have not been disappointed. Service is always prompt and friendly. read more

This will probably be my last review of this location. I was at don tequila yesterday & the cashier was talking to me but I couldn't understand so I laughed it off. He told me I looked sexy today and said something else. I said thanks and laughed so that he wouldn't be offended. He came around the counter and walked up on me then hugged me so I assume he was asking for a hug. He then whispered in my ear that he just wanted to feel my breast on his chest. Seriously....I don't feel like I need to wear jeans and sweaters in the summer because he is a pervert. It was very disrespectful and unprofessional and I feel uncomfortable eating there anymore. read more

I hate to write a bad review, I appreciate them being open for takeout during this pandemic, (which is why I have a nice tip when I picked up my food), however... Couldn't be more disappointed! I ordered their "Pollo Hawaiian" which is supposed to have chicken chorizo and pineapple WITH melted cheese, rice, sour cream, tomato and lettuce. My order only had the meats,pineapple and rice. Was super disappointed to be missing the cheese sauce, sour cream, lettuce , tomato! Additionally, the rice was old and even a little bit hard. My fiancé also ordered their "Burrito Superior " (not pictured), and was also super disappointed (stale rice, bland chicken). Also ordered large margaritas , we questioned if there was even any alcohol in them. The chicken in my Pollo Hawaiian was at least tender and tasty, two stars read more

Always enjoy Don Tequila in Mentor. Friendly service and good food. I had the Seafood Burrito last week and it was very good. Not keen about their new 99 cent charge to refill your chips and salsa though. read more

Went on a saturday night on the first night of summer, and had a party of 12. We were sat almost immediately. Went there because they had catered a party of a friend of mine. Our server was professional, and bilingual. But you could totally understand him and had a cool accent. Americanized i suppose. They do not use a POS system but use an old paper check system...so separate checks becomes an issue. They put tons of chips and salsa in front of you...the chips are super crunch but almost no salt, and the salsa was bland for my taste. I had the el paso speciai; beef tip burrito and chicken burrito w/ rice and beans. All came out hot but a little watery. Dunno where that came from. But I did ask for lettuce/tomato set as it did not come with any in or on it. Kids food came out fast, they did have the world cup and that seemed to distract the waiters...but as far as Mexican food goes it was pretty good for Mentor. read more

This restaurant used to be my wife and I's favorite but in the last couple of years it's gone down the tubes! Cleanliness is a problem and the waiters act like they are doing you a favor. Food is greasy and low quality. read more

Just ordered takeout and it was terrible. This is the second time we have received bad food, I'm tapping out. We will find another Mexican place. The rice and beans were old, the beans were in a big ball on the plate and the rice was hard. They forgot part of the order (again) and the order was wrong. Just a complete waste of money, threw it in the garbage. read more

The food was very very good here! Was suprised at how fast the food came out. Very clean environment. Staff was very friendly and the drinks were amazing!! read more

Absolutely amazing service and great food. This is closest to authentic California style Mexican food i found since moving to NE ohio. Biria tacos were absolutely delicious. We will be back soon read more

The Mentor Don Tequila team provided taco bar food catering for my daughter's bridal shower. The food arrive perfectly on time, was amazing and plentiful! The taco bar included everything needed for a great fiesta lunch. I would recommend them to anyone for a party or a dinner spot. read more

Good service. Friendly waiter and the food was delicious

If you blink. You will miss this little eatery, squished into the corner of a small strip mall in Mentor, Ohio. I went with a friend of mine from the area, who was treated like a rock star when he arrived (well, he IS a rock star), and that's indicative of the casual and familial vibe at this restaurant. I didn't take notes - too busy enjoying the company - but I'm pretty sure I got a burrito and it was delicious. Margaritas were excellent (this much I do remember) and service was quick and pleasant. Now that I know that this place exists, it gives me even more reason to travel to the northern tip of Ohio for good company and eats! read more

Don Tequila - Mexican Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

i love this place! First impressions this place is a fun atmosphere filled with mexican clay rooftops and colorful furniture. You get your chips and salsa as you sit down as usual while they take orders for drinks. They got horchata here now, which is a + in my book, if you haven't tried it yet, i totally recommend to. The food came out rather fast and speedy on extremely hot plates. The salsa and hot sauces there are bombbbbb. Ask them for homemade style hot sauces they make in the kitchen, it's different everytime you go in. Some will leave you sweating and some will leave a sweet or an extra tomato flavor in your mouth. The food i'd definitely rate 7.5/10. as i'm a hardcore mexican food lover. It's nothing you find in texas or california, but quite damn close. I always find myself coming back to this fun filled, warm, family owned place and always leave feeling satisfied. for taqueria style tacos, try the tacos el pastor! read more

Don Tequila - Margarita Tower. - Mexican Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Going on a road trip. And fighting about where we plan to eat. We landed on this place. I had shrimp tacos, my husband had carnesada burriot. The tacos were so fresh. And the shrimp was cooked to perfection. It popped and was super tender and juicy. The carnesada burrito was super hot. (He likes that) so this was great for him. All in all the service was also amazing. And attentive. read more

Been dining here since it first opened. Wife is from tx so this is her taste of home. When tx folks come to visit they ask to go to Don's. It's very good tex-mex. read more

We love Don Tequilas, we eat there quite a lot. The service and food are always great!..

Tons of great options on the menu. Staff is super friendly, entertaining, and everyone's favorite part of coming to Don's!

If your concerned about your health in this covid129 world don't get takeout from this place. I ordered online and when I went to pick up my food there was at least 50 people jammed into the business all waiting for their order, less than half had face masks and don't get me talking about the staff having theirs on their chins., Six feet, you were lucky to have 2 feet between everyone and the establishment couldn't care!!!!! And the wait....... I was told 30 minuets, an hour and a half later I got my food and some people waited longer and when asked to canceal the order I was told they couldn't do that!!!! If I get covid I know exactly where I got it. When this is all over they lost me and anyone else who'll listen!!!! read more

With everywhere else packed on a Friday night, we wondered in, not expecting much quite honestly. We both ordered off the specials menu, and my husband barely managed to squeeze in his standard 'where's my burrito' before two large plates, overflowing with food, arrived in front of us. The food itself was good. Mexican food can too easily be greasy, but this was not. The menu is nothing startling, but the classic mexican dishes were all on the mark. And there was enough left over for a second meal tomorrow. Prices were very reasonable - our total bill, including tips, was less than $25. Definitely planning another visit. read more

We ordered the fish tacos and Chili Rellenos to-go from the Mentor location. It was all basically garbage on a plate. Everything was over-cooked and tasteless. A complete waste of our travel time and money - and we now have no dinner to eat. Completely inedible. Don't waste your time ordering take-out from here during this pandemic time. We've enjoyed our dine-in experience in past times at Don Tequila, but this experience was a BIG disappointment! read more

Why hello service. Don't let the lime green walls scare you, this place is all business. Seated immediately, the waiter came to the table immediately, and the food came almost immediately after we'd ordered. Boyfriend got a combo platter with an enchilada and taquito and devoured the whole thing. I got a carnitas dinner platter and I could only finish half since I filled up on chips and salsa and guacamole. It was so good! The only disappointing part was the dessert. We ordered flan, and when it arrived it was covered in whipped cream and strawberry sauce which I am not a fan of. The consistency was nubbly. Should've went with the churros. read more

We came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday. We ate a ton of fresh chips in advance of the meal, the salsa was pretty mild. I had the Chori pollo, which is a burrito with chorizo and chicken with rice. Man, it was amazing. Hot and spicy with peppers, I took some of the huge portion home and ate it the next day. The service was seriously, amazingly fast for a group of 4, and they kept our drinks regularly filled. read more

if i could give this 10 stars, i would. i've been going here for years and i've never been disappointed by the food or the service. the staff is wonderful and quick to bring food out your meal, fill your beverage, and replenish your bowl of chips. the food is absolutely phenomenal and always fresh. i love it here and can't wait to continue to eat here !! read more

We have always had a good meal here. Quantity of food is just right, they don't load on a lot of needless lettuce, etc.my favorite is the Special Texas. Prices are awesome, great value for the $. read more

The first thing I noticed here was the decor, which I have to say I liked. Of course, yes, I enjoy lime green walls and bright pink color washes, but that's just me. We had three little ones with us, so you can imagine that we were a little less than organized, but our server took it all in stride, which we appreciated. He was also super fast; I think all of us were surprised how quickly our meals came out. As for the food, I feel like it's a little difficult to review. I had never been here before and my Mexican palate is less-than-sophisticated, so I randomly ordered a plain enchilada and quesadilla. The latter was pretty good, though I found the enchilada a little perplexing. It was hiding under the sauce and I couldn't really tell what was in it. The chips and salsa were great, though. And hot. The one person at our table who can apparently drink tabasco sauce straight even admitted his eyes were watering a little. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their meals. I'm not in Ohio much, but I'd happily go back and try something else. Oh, and um, I wouldn't exactly object to painting my living room lime green, after seeing how cool it looked at Don's. read more

The food isn't bad, but every time I come here with friends they overcharge us. We end up getting charged at least a few dollars more than our menu items should be when we check out, and it's happened on several different occasions. Though the food may have been good and reasonably priced (on the menu, not on the bill), we will unfortunately never be going back. Very disappointing. read more
