In the Salt Lake City area for business and met up with a couple of friends that live here for an early dinner. It was pretty good! Great flavor, good service and cute spot. My only The Churros were perfect...hot out of the oil, gooey and the chocolate for dipping was delicious. My only feedback is that fry bread (taco shell) needed to be crispier since it has so many topping, it got soggy quickly but great flavor. read more

Patio or indoors? That's a hard decision, but when the weather is nice, you have both options to choose from here at Donkey Tails Cantina. If you want to sit outdoors the entrance is closer to State Street. The main door takes you to the dining room. The food is terrific and the service was fast and attentive. I had the three tacos and ordered shredded beef, ground beef and chicken. I enjoyed the chicken the most-note to self for next time. The chips and salsa were also really good. read more

Service was great and the food was delicious. Chile relleno smothered in chile verde was so good as was the salsa. Mom had a margarita and tacos and loved hers too. We'll be back read more

The food here was OK I would recommend other places. I feel like it just did not have the flavor that Hispanic food needed. The chips and salsa were good though. The service was great our waitress was very attentive. I would think there would be some music playing that centered around the environment but no. They had plenty of seating we did not have to wait long for a table. There was enough parking space. read more

I went here this week on a date & it was so good! Service was so quick both in taking our orders & we received our food quickly too. The salsa was a little spicy for me, but I loved the guacamole! I ordered cheese enchiladas, with flour tortillas, smothered in chile verde & they were probably one of the best enchiladas I've ever had! It was a combination of the flour tortillas, cheese blend, & sauce. My date had the sweet pork burrito & loved it! I tried the sweet pork & it had good flavor, not too sweet. Loved the vibes here. There were dollar bills everywhere with little sayings/names on them. The ceiling was covered! Definitely check it out! read more

Very underwhelming Mexican styled food place. Stopped in a whim for an early dinner. Was very surprised to see the restaurant wasn't very busy, that was till we waited about 20 minutes just to receive water. From here the rest of the experience seemed to just be... okay. We each ordered the tacos and as a starter they provided us chips and salsa. The salsa was pretty good but the tacos were a little flavorless and could've had some more spice. The margaritas we ordered were okay, not much alcohol and could tell it was store bought mixer. Much better Mexican styled places in the area that I will be going back too. read more

The birria tacos are amazing, and the dollar bills papered floor to ceiling provide endless entertainment as you drink! read more

Oh myyyy if there were ever a time to grab a bite and eat an appetizer, it would be now! There's sales on taco Tuesdays and then a few other good deals. Good drinks. Offered from the menu which seemed to be a good fit. Gluten free, gluten free cauliflower crust, a great place for the vegan and not vegan alike. read more

Great fun environment! Bartenders are wonderful and quickly whips up your drink. I came here for Cinco De Mayo so there was a ton of folks here! Limited seating, but you can drink and sit at the bar without a mask. The staff still wears a mask. I was told they had $0.50 taco bar but I didn't see it. I was planning to eat inside the restaurant anyways so I didn't ask for it. read more

I would do 5 stars but the Alycia with a Y with the dark hair called a guy an asshole in front of everybody. Pick the blonde Alecia and she'll treat you right. I'm okay being an asshole with this review. He had a service dog and it was completely out of line. You're welcome Alycia with a Y. Come for Taco Tuesdays. Ask for blonde Alecia with an E. Tell her Jesse and Steph sent you. read more

This is mainly for the bar side. What's great about this place is their carne asada burritos and tacos. I swear it must have crack in it because it's so addicting. I've never tried crack, but if it's as good as their carne asada, I'd want it all the time. Also, I really dig how these guys have worked so hard during covid. They've been amazing. And they're expanding their beer selection and they work super hard to deliver good service. I usually eat on the bar side, so I can't say much about the restaurant side. read more

I went to Donkey Tails yesterday on 4/15/23 at 5:30 pm. I have always had a good experience here but last night was horrible. My wife had the two enchilada combo and everything on the plate was cold. I had the three asada taco plate. I do not know how they did this but the meat in my tacos was hot but the flour shell seemed like they had let it harden all day in the sun. The black beans came to me with melted cheese on them when I took a bite the entire portion of beans came up to my mouth in one solid blob. The beans where no longer any where close to hot. I tried a bite of rice it was also cold. I hope management will see this review and make a change with whoever was on the kitchen staff that night. I really like this place and am hopeful my next experience will be better. read more

I called the restaurant before we went there and asked to confirm they're a sports bar. The woman (Kimber) says we serve alcohol and we play all the football games here. We arrive to find that they only play the football games on the local channels It was also very warm in the bar area. We didn't order food. We had 1 drink and walked out. read more

We walked in and the Bar tender /Waiter was annoyed with our group size. We brought 12 friends for karaoke. B-lake was rude while we started our order for drinks. He was short tempered and slow to take our order for food. We have yet to order refills or get any food. But not impressed with anything yet. After we got a drink. The bartender SLAMMED the drinks onto the table ( more than once ) jittery , and snippy when we said we were rest to order food - he snapped at us DRINKS FIRST. Food was so awful we would have preferred Taco Bell. Nachos were soggy and no flavor. Wings were nugget sized and mediocre sauce. We stayed for karaoke and the DJ was awesome. Fun singing but never got any table service once we started singing ( for a big group singing we were surprised to not have anyone ask for additional drink order ) read more

Bouncer wouldn't let me in with a valid id to the bar I'm from California and had all identification proof sad to see a bar lose money in the year with reviews they have I'd give zero if I could read more

I grew up with the privilege of living in San Antonio, Texas, which - let's be real - can't be beat when it comes to Tex-Mex cuisine. DTC is the second or third place I've been since moving to SLC, and it looks like I still have some searching to do. Although, I didn't get a chance to enjoy their bar, which seems like a great place to kick it with friends. That said, I'll be back for that at least. read more

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?? I can't believe we go out for drinks and food and literally every table surrounding us has someone sitting smoking a cigarette! I want to be able to meet friends and eat and drink without breathing and smelling constant smoke and then having to go home and shower and wash my hair because it reeks of cigarette smoke. Isn't this a state law? I'm not usually one for "by the book" but why do I have to breathe this disgusting exhaled nastiness into my lungs while I'm eating? Servers were acting like it was fine and obviously this is a commonly accepted practice as almost every table was doing it. Gross!! read more

Had a great atmosphere and the waitress was extremely cute and very kind. Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. Food Could have used some more heat . read more

They are open! Require masks to enter. Cute outdoor patio. Good drinks. Late night menu is pretty limited and not super great unless you need some drunk food, but open until 1am in the middle of the week is hard to find here in Utah. read more

Disappointing overall. Not at all clean and just overall crappy. Margarita was water down syrup. The server was nice once we got seated. But overall everyone at that place seemed confused or not at all helpful. read more

This is not good Mexican food. Every day I drive by here thinking man I really want to try this place. Then one day we went in. We should have walked out. The place looks like it needs a good cleaning. The table was sticky, the decor and "roof tops" need to be dusted badly. So we both ordered raspberry iced tea. It was unusually thick and gross. Now the server was very friendly and sweet. But when I asked for a root beer she kept saying coke and I had to correct her multiple times. We both ordered al pastor tacos. I asked what came on them expecting the normal oh onions tomatoes cilantro and salsa. She said onions and cilantro. So I said ok just meat and tortilla. She came back and said the cook said its cooked in and can't remove so I changed my order to an enchila meal. Our food came and the al pastor tacos were soupy. They don't know what al pastor tacos really are. The enchilada was not flavorful. The sauce tasted like it came out of a can. We asked for separate bills and we put our cards with our bills. The server charged the wrong meals to the the cards resulting in me paying for a meal priced higher than mine. The food does not have those flamboyant fresh flavors from Mexico and while the employees are nice and friendly they lack attention to details. read more

Late night last minute idea to go out with friends. Ended up in this joint, not to shabby the service was good and the atmosphere was a bit to loud but they have an outside seating if you want something less loud. They have an after hours menu that is $4.99 on each plater. We got the chileverde fries and it was delicious. All in all a great place to go with friends if you got nothing to do on a Saturday night. Wouldn't mind coming back with friends to this place read more

This place rocks! Great food and incredible service! The bar tender is awesome! The Chile Colorado is delicious!

We stopped in not having been here for years but were in the area. The restaurant wasn't busy and sadly the service was slow and lacking. I so wanted to love it but the food was nothing spectacular and sadly overpriced compared to similar Mexican restaurants. read more

Let me preface by saying this is a great place for drinks. What it's not great for is food or great service. So if you know that going in you might have a better time Than we did. :) read more

I'm not sure how this place gets such great reviews. This was not what I would call good Mexican food. I would definitely not return.

First and foremost, ROWDY. What an electric personality. Bartending is an art and this human gets it. He is warm, helpful and quick! Coming from downtown SLC, where bars are walking distance and specials are real, having a place like this near is a TREASURE. Live music - we LOVE! Ultimately, awesome service and that's worth the Yelp! read more

Great Mexican food! Really fun atmosphere! I highly recommend. Taco Tuesdays are great. Can't beat the margaritas! Friendly staff and Good service . read more

Alan Summerhays is nothing short of fantastic! Not only does he personally get to know his patrons, but he went above & beyond for Thanksgiving and helped me cook 2 of my 3 turkeys for my "Orphan Thanksgiving Dinner" for my newly widowed and single friends! He also loaned us dishes and silverware so we could enjoy a proper meal on plates that didn't break under the amount of food we devoured! What an amazing establishment! read more

Genuinely some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Left feeling ripped off on a $40 lunch. Birria Tacos were super salty and came plain (birria on a corn tortilla) no cheese, no onions, no cilantro, just over cooked and over salted meat. The rice was dry and crunchy. Refried beans were more water than beans. We also ordered a chicken quesadilla, came on a hard (baked?) flour tortilla. More of a flour tortilla chip than a tortilla. Salsa was great! read more

Finally, a bar in the suburbs in Draper. Only stopped in for about 10 minutes to grab a quick drink since we had a party to attend to afterwards but wanted to pre-game. We both just got a classic margarita on the rocks with salt and it was tasty. Definitely couldn't taste the alcohol and on the weak side but for Utah standards OK. Bartender was quick and nice. This is a good option for a quick drink during the week. read more

Hubby and I attended a paint night here and it was pretty awesome. We had dinner beforehand and it was good food and quick service. The place was clean. It's funny because I didn't know that this restaurant had a bar of its own attached. read more

Hadn't been here and years and now we remember why. Taco meat is questionable if it's actually beef. Pork verde burrito was soupy and hardly had any pork meat. Rice was at least a day old, dry, and no taste. At least service was fast and decent. I would not recommend coming here for the food. I'll be looking elsewhere for my Mexican food. read more

Service is awesome, don't get me wrong. Food I didn't like, heck i didn't touch it, chips with salsa my kids liked it. My son didn't take a second bite of his food, kids only ate half of their plates (we have 6 kids). My wife stated her food was like a can enchiladas served warm... if you have someplace else to go, I would choose that other place. read more

Taco Tuesdays! Simple tacos for cheap, throw in some beers -- who cares. Nice environment, clean, friendly staff, reasonable prices. You can order food from the attached restaurant, Guadalahonkys(sp), which is always pretty good. read more

Service was slow despite only being 1 of 2 tables seated. All drinks were not served. Had to remind the server of additional drinks that had been ordered. Appetizer queso came out with the main course. Ran out of chips multiple times without being refilled. Food was just ok. Didnt seem fresh. Will never go here again. read more

Chois and salsa: 5 has some spice, chips are fresh and home made Al pastor taco: 1 - Meat is dry and has little flavor Refried beans: 1 almost a burnt flavor Black beans: 3 good Chili verde: 4 great flavor could be spicier but the salsa was really good. Shredded beef: 4 good flavor Rice was bland and unevenly cooked. read more

So the best thing about this place is 50cent tacos on Tuesday. What you don't know is that is only for the bar not the restaurant. So we decided to order food anyways. We got the steak fajitas. I have never gotten fajitas without cheese. We ordered the Nachos cause last time we were here they were delicious. Well not this time stale chips doesn't go will with the homemade beans. My son got a cheeseburger off the kids meal. The burger was only half the size of the bun. My 9 year old was like what is this ?? Only positive was the waitress super friendly and nice. Will not be back !! read more

Great little sports bar! They recently remodeled the outside/indoor patio area and it looks awesome! They have tv's, fireplaces, and garage doors that open up the inside to outside area. I went here on a date night and we shared the grande nacho and fish taco plate. It was a ton of food and very delicious. The service was good too! Downside... Is they allowed customers to Vape (vaporize cigarette) inside. Seriously... I was hoping the waiter would ask them to stop but he never did. I suppose I could have asked our waiter to say something. But it should have been obvious to not Vape where others are eating. read more

The server was nice and completely overwhelmed so I really did feel bad for her. However, the whole experience was bad and it got progressively worse. It took forever for her to even ask if we wanted drinks. Then the drink my husband took ages to arrive. Multiple people around us who arrived after us got their food before us. When the food did come out, the order was wrong. I ordered 4 tacos and only got 2. It was taco Tuesday, so I get they were busy, but when we told the server the error she said she's fix it and 20 minutes later she returned to say it'd be another 10 minutes. When you mess someone's order up, you fix it, not make them wait longer. All of that would have been okay if the food had been ok, but nope it's horrible. Yes taco Tuesdays are cheap, but the tacos are worse than Del Taco's. If I'm going to pay for cheap, non authentic tacos, it won't be there. read more
