Met some old friends up at the new Doneraki on I 10 (Katy)and enjoyed ourselves very much, sat at the bar for a couple drinks, then sat in the dining room and had dinner. We had the ribeye steak with baked potato, baked potato was huge and the steak was great. The salsa is awesome. We use to visit the old Doneraki on Westheimer and Hillcroft back in the day. I recommend Anyone trying this. read more

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant. It like they took Mexican and stepped it up a notch! We had Jose Reyna as our server. Excellent service! Great food! Great restaurant! read more

My husband and I eat here when we are in Katy Texas. The service and the food are both wonderful. The salsa is one of the best I've eaten and I eat salsa everywhere we travel. Highly recommend . read more

Service is terrible, food is fair. Our 2nd time thought we would try Sunday Brunch. Huge mistake. Went back to buffet and bus person cleared the table of my full bloody mary drink. Waitress said will get you another, I said no. Did not want another. Waitress advised me I would have to pay for drink. Manager took drink off. Waitress automatically put 20% for the tip. Then stated "let me tell you something " my spouse stood up and said nope and we left. NEVER go here!! Service is terrible, food is okay , Very overpriced. read more

Had the mixed sizzling fajitas and they were great! The beef in particular was to die for, literally perfect, tender and flavorful, next time I wont even bother mixing. The staff was friendly and our server Juan Carlos was pleasant, polite and attentive the whole time. The ambience makes you feel like you're in Mexico but much nicer than most Mexican restaurants, I have 0 complaints. Best fajitas I've ever had and I've had A LOT of fajitas. read more

Come here every Wednesday and Emma always does amazing serving us!! Emma very polite and professional.

Waited 20 minutes before I flagged someone down to get our order. The food was ok. I had such high hopes. Definitely not coming again. After we told the owner he brought us a piece of 3 leches for free ... still not enough. The damaged is done read more

See all

New opening and they are working out the kinks but the food was amazing, flavorful and authentic. I tried the Monterrey ribeye street tacos and they were the best I have had. My partner had the carnitas and said they are some of the best she has ever had! Definitely will be returning to this place many times. Some of the best Mexican food in Katy! read more

The food was very salty and not good. The price was very high for the mediocre offering. Save yourself the effort and go-to a smaller local joint the margarita was basic and also over priced. read more

First time trying this place. Great food, great atmosphere! Maria was an excellent waitress as well!! read more

Service was horrible and food came out cold. We had to get the manager to take our order. Will not be back. read more

Both food and service are excellent. Been there twice since opening. Looks welcoming.

My wife and I went to the soft opening when they were working on their process. Honestly, the food took a little longer than expected. However, it's because we found out that the item my wife ordered generally takes longer to make. The beef fajitas were very tasty and the rice and beans were fabulous. We both had Margaritas on a very nice happy hour special until 7 PM. The ambiance is amazing and the bar area can fit 2 football teams. We will be back! read more

Food was amazing and so was the service! Our waitress was Alyson! Great food and great service!

Everything we ordered was good. The service was just okay. I think the issue with this restaurant is that we have a lot of Tex-Mex options in Katy and this isn't high on the list. read more

The sizzling platers are great! We ordered the Rodriguez fajitas, bacon wrapped shrimp, quail (amazing), and jalapeño sausage (also amazing). Very good food, very good service, very good margaritas. Definitely a new regular spot for our family. Oh also had a lady taking photos for $10 it was a fun nice touch. read more

My family and I ate here on 8/11/24. It was the worst experience at a restaurant I have ever had. They were trying to set us at a dirty table then at another dirty table (there was 9 dirty tables) the restaurant wasn't busy. Took someone 20 minutes to even address our table to get our drink orders. When we were getting refills on our tea there was no ice. My husband had Menudo and he said it was water with intestines no flavor. I had bean and cheese nacho's no beans it was straight up cheese. I was so disappointed. We will never return. Food quality was bad and the price was even worse. read more

The service the atmosphere! Overall just great vibes! Emma is such a great server and super personable. The food is amazing and the drink are even better! They even had live music we will definitely be back because Emma is fire!!! read more

the food, service and ambience is stellar every time we visit! if you're ever in the area and looking for a nice date night or family friendly place, check out Doneraki read more

Super slow service, The food is very delicious don't get me wrong but it sort of just seems like the servers don't know what they're doing. The bartenders only speak spanish which i mean luckily i do too but the bar is the first thing you see in every restaurant you walk into... More attention to how the bar runs is needed overall the restaurant is very nice extremely spacious i just don't see them being open for too long. 2 stars for the food lol read more

I've been three times, once for lunch and twice for dinner. The lunch time experience was great, the other two...not great. The last time we went was a Saturday evening at 5:15. It was moderately busy. The hostess was NOT friendly at all. My husband ordered a margarita, water, and asked for chips and salsa. None came. We got the margarita and a small glass of water. No chips and salsa. We ordered our food and asked for chips and salsa. Then we sat and watched everyone around us get refills on water and chips and salsa. The food came out and the server was also very NOT friendly, especially after we asked for the tortillas that customarily come with fajitas and AGAIN FOR CHIPS AND SALSA. The server brought 2 old and very dry tortillas annnnd no chips and salsa. Our waiter finally came by and very halfheartedly asked how everything was. We brought up how STILL there were no chips and salsa (despite everyone around us getting theirs) no water, and our food was barely warm. You would think at this point he would get it himself. Nope. It was clear he didn't care and just wanted us to pay the bill. He got his tip because that's how he makes his money. Yes, places/people have bad days but this was ridiculous. We'll let others spend their hard earned money there and we'll stick with our small family owned place (with great service) from now on. read more

Rude staff. Been twice. Twice too many. We had a hard time understanding the waitress each time. Food is extremely greasy.

I am highly disappointed in the service of this establishment. My family and I were a party of ten in total and we were charged a ridiculous gratuity for bad service. First of all we waited 45 minutes for service and once we received our order, we had to look for the waiter for refills on drinks. We had to track him down to bring our ticket and once I saw that he gave himself a $25 tip then it was clear why he didn't care to give good service because he was already including the gratuity for out table! I understand waitstaff should be adequately compensated for service but they should not take advantage of the patrons just because gratuity is already on the ticket. I must add that the host was not very friendly but overall the food was decent. read more

Our experience here was very bad on mother day weekend. We were told there was a 2 hour wait, which we waited for knowing the circumstances. Close to three hours later the number of people waiting kept changing from 1 to 2 and after asking for clarification we kept getting brushed off. They shouldn't offer brunch if they cant handle the crowd. Worst experience ever! read more

All I can say is food is amazing!!! Although service might seem slow, I take into consideration it's new place and may still be short on staff. Everyone is still great and very helpful to everyone. read more

Went for Cinco De Mayo, unfortunately was a very disappointing experience. When asking the waitress what food on the menu they had that was soft was met with a very rude side eye and remarks. Mind you, I was asking due to the fact my fiancé broke his jaw on Friday. I wasn't trying to be difficult just a little understanding would've been nice. Major but was us going over my order with the waitress several times. My fiancfiancé received his his food and 15min had passed I asked if my food was coming soon. Was told I never ordered it. Then when I asked again she said it was the music?!? The food here is great and the drinks are amazing but, they need to hire staff that actually wants to work in the service industry. This was an awful experience and I strongly emphasize with the other experiences from this place. Also, the owner likes to get hammered and make an imbecile of himself behind the bar and customers. read more

called for takeout and the server was polite and nice. also suggested some menu items. trying to food, it was OK but nothing that could make me jump in excitement. from the photos, the atmosphere looks fun and will be happy to dine-in read more

Food was tasty & the service was great. Clean restaurant & friendly staff. I will go back.

I give four stars because the service was great but I was not impressed with the food. I'm a Gringos fan, so it may be a different in taste.

I was excited to go to the new location in Katy only to be HIGHLY disappointed. I ordered the fajitas steak with double rice. The point of ordering fajitas is the piping hot plate that comes out smoking and sizzling unfortunately I had none of the above my plate came out lukewarm, my rice was undercooked, and the service was subpar. Not to mention my friend and I were sick for at least two days. Unfortunately I would not be returning to this restaurant nor would I recommend it. read more

Slowest service I've ever experienced in my life!! 22 minute wait for the saddest example of a churro I've ever seen!! Don't ask for a side of sour cream!! Its $3.75 for a 2oz ramekin and it was room temperature!! Not sure this place is going to make it!! read more

Wow, great food, huge menu, best Mexican restaurant in town. Great atmosphere, highly recommend. 5 star

First, the restaurant needs to be more specific about the food times that are available. As advertised it says that brunch starts at 9am-2pm but they stop refilling fresh food at 1:00pm. We arrived at 12pm in the middle of brunch and waited an hour and fifteen to be seated. If the restaurant is gonna be open to the idea of a buffet then be prepared to serve people fresh food until 2pm. Announce to people arriving that are waiting that brunch is ending and that they won't get a full service and will be receiving left over food, while also giving the opportunity to stay or leave. Second, the waiting staff is completely understaffed and very unattentive. When asked for service the wait was at least 15-20 minutes till a person would arrive. Third, as a Mexican restaurant you should know how to value the customers that understand the culture and customs that come with owning an authentic Mexican restaurant, general practices are that fresh food is served until the last minute. When people feel unimportant reviews like this occur. Donerkai's- Katy your restaurant needs a lot of improvement and real consideration for all your customers. We paid full price and left 18% tip..for a third of the service. read more

I had fajitas. The tortillas were tiny. The flour tasted dry. The meat was ok. I've had had better and cheaper from a place a few miles east. read more

Food was ok, asked for side of shredded cheese which turned out to be $3:75 WOW ridiculous. Service was not the best it took a very long time to get our food. Will not be returning or recommending. read more

Drinks were great! Service was great as well. Chips and salsa were delicious! Mole enchiladas were amazing. Nice atmosphere! Will definitely continue coming back! read more

The food is delicious, we loved the atmosphere and the decor is beautiful! Service is also amazing! Edgar was great, he continually checked on our family. Having authentic Mexican food close by is a win, win. We will be coming back to the best Mexican restaurant here in Katy! read more

Customer service bad, prices per beer $10.00 very expensive, I will not come back to this place anymore.

We are all for paying good money for good food and service but this was Pappasito pricing for Casa Ole food and Taco Cabana service!

Nothing like the original Doneraki! Service and food.... Just ehh. The server didn't keep the drinks filled-took our drinks off the table and brought the same ones back with our straws. Fajita meet was chewy. Had to ask two different people for our server. Very disappointed in the whole experience. Will not be back. It's not worth the money. read more
