    Went to Winston for a doctor's appointment last week, they were running an hour behind, so I took the opportunity to grab some lunch. Couldn't go far, but was craving some Mexican food...a quick Yelp search and I was able to find Don Tequila just 2 miles away. I made my way over, and even at noon was seated right away. When the waiter came to get my drink order, he brought a complimentary basket of chips and salsa to get me started. The lunch menu had a good variety to options to pick from at fairly reasonable prices. The interior is decorated very much like you'd expect a Mexican restaurant to be. I ended up ordering a plate of the lunch chicken nachos, and as expect they came out quickly. The chips were well layered with toppings, tasty queso and a fair amount of chicken. It hit the spot for what I was looking for. Overall it was a good, quick meal, quick waitstaff, decent price. Given the opportunity, I'd return

    Special Lunch #1

    My past review was based on deliveries. I finally got to come to the restaurant. Came for lunch. Place is clean and nicely decorated. 4 stars for the ambiance. Service was very good, 5 stars. The Special Lunch 1 (Chile Relleno and taco) was okay. This dish was a lot more food than I expected. The Chile Relleno is large and full of cheese and ground beef. Nothing spectacular but a solid 3 star dish. I have had better entrees from Don Tequila in the past. The margarita was 3 stars. I got a regular margarita on the rocks. Nothing spectacular. Even though this visit was just okay, I have had better dishes from Don Tequila. I'll be back but I will order something else next time.

    Close up of Birria Tacos - tortillas were overcooked
    Fred B.

    I dropped in this place for an early lunch. It is located in the Pavilion Shopping Center on Hanes Mall Blvd - the same center that housed Bad Daddy's & King'd Crab Shack. It is a nice looking interior, clean & bright. I settled on the Birria Tacos, and they were soon served. This was not an especially good version, across the board. The tortillas were way overcooked, the Birria was under seasoned, as was the consommé. Don't see a return visit here!

    If decor is not the most important thing for you, then this is the best Mexican restaurant in Winston. Delicious food with a generous serving size. It's a strip mall so there's not too much they can do to make the place look nicer, but the service staff are friendly and it's a great meal.

    I went here not expecting much just thinking it was another basic Mexican restaurant. I was wrong. The food here was very tasty and I loved the verde enchiladas and birria nachos. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by their rice and theirs was soft, fluffy, and had a great flavor. I wouldn't recommend their piña colada but maybe their other drinks are better.

    Beef tacos

    Margaritas was mostly sour mix, the beef and chicken tacos had no flavor and the amount of grease made it hard to eat a hard shell that was soggy on presentation... I had high hopes but we won't be back

    I love Mexican food - it has its own food group in our household. We tried Done Tequila with some friends and it was great. I wish I'd had more veggies in my meal but that's just personal preference. We will be back to try more of their dishes!

    Definitely wasn't the best Mexican food experience. The food wasn't as fresh as I'd imagined it to be. I'm not sure if our food was just sitting for too long before it was served to us or if the server didn't know it was ready, when it was, but the food was not fresh or tasty. It wasn't busy when we went, but the server we had was giving his attention to other tables for an unknown reason. He forgot some things that was ordered and never acknowledged it. I would say that for better customer service, the experience could be a bit more enjoyable with a friendlier and more attentive staff. Our drinks were more sugary than alcoholic and the salsa was average tasting. The ambiance was cute, and has a lot of potential for growths since it was pretty slow day when I had gone, I thought the service would have been better. Overall, I didn't have an enjoyable experience and won't be returning.

    First, clean and great service. Second, it's located on Hanes Mall Blvd, but easy to access - right next to the I-40 ramps. You can order anything here and be happy. The seafood dishes are higher than other Mexican restaurants I've been to. However, you get what you pay for. I've been many times and never left a review, well... My photos show the California Burrito and a side of beans and rice. Each seem portioned for two people... I ate half sitting and half later. Great value: to enjoy fresh and get a takeout meal. Did I mention their chips and salsa... I am now. Very smooth. I'll update my review with something from the drink menu in the future. I've always been able to get a table without waiting... But, part of me wants that to change. Don Tequila's should be far busier than it's competitors around Hanes Mall because their food and experience is superior. Try it for yourself and you'll have the same questions... But you'll be totally satisfied.

    That black speck is the bug. Hard to see because of my camera
    Mak W.

    Went here for the first time today. Heard amazing things about it... and the service was freaky fast and the food looked wonderful. The ambiance was very much like old rustic mexican style. All was going well until I saw a bug in my food doing musical chairs between my lettuce and taquitos Immediately lost my appetite.

    Today's special. The large taco . So delicious
    Lori D.

    In heaven. Everything here is amazing. The staff are so friendly. The hot sauces are so good. Today we got the ACP and the lunch #11 a cheese covered chimichanga with rice and beans. Will definitely be back again and again.

I also tried the shrimp and scallops dish served in a pineapple, which was flavorful and fun in presentation, though I did feel the pricing leaned a bit high for what you receive. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks and a casual night out, especially if you're sitting at the bar. I'd return for the margaritas and the vibe, just with the expectation that it's more of a splurge than an everyday stop.

Both were fantastic, though the skinny, by design, was very tart with the lime juice since it was low on the syrup. No complaints here. Chips and salsa are a staple of any good Mexican restaurant, and here the chips are served warm and the salsa ever so slightly spicy. We also ordered cheese dip which did not disappoint. For entrees: Burritos Deluxe and Enchiladas de Lujo. Both were served within minutes of ordering, piping hot, and full of flavor. The serving sizes were huge and we both took plenty home for the next day.
