First time visiting Don Mario, and it is the best place I've been in Owensboro!…read more The restaurant is in the downtown area, and is very clean. You're greeted very warmly as soon as you enter, and the hospitality continued through the entire visit.

They also serve alcoholic beverages, with a decent offering. The price to portion ratio is spot on! If you're ever in Owensboro, Kentucky, and you're in the mood for Mexican food, this is your spot!

We had a booth within 1 minute and were promptly asked for our drink orders. Chips and salsa also came our way shortly after that. Chips were great- fresh, hot, and thin.

We did wait for our food to arrive a little longer than usual at a Mexican restaurant, but when it got to our table, it had just been cooked and it was delicious.

I also had 7 mare soup which was a tasty blend of muscles, prawn, crab and tilapia. The only complaint here is the crab only consisted of a tiny claw and arm that not much meat could be salvaged from. Service was fast and friendly. The place is small but cozy and had a couple TVs playing sports broadcasts. Highly recommended if you like authentic Mexican food.

The shrimp taco... same! Delicious! The chorizo taco... also delicious! And my personal fave was the lengua (beef tongue) which I'm always a fan of. The prices were fair enough and I was pretty satisfied with my meal and the huge basket of tortillas and complimentary salsa they served. The place is cool and feels like other Mexican restaurants I've been to in the past. I look forward to going back and trying their burritos. Viva Mi Ranchito!
