So this was interesting one. We took a big group up to Joe Wheeler to look around the park and…read morewere hungry for lunch before we went home. One in our party had been here before and recommended we stop here. This is a restaurant serving both Mexican and Japanese food, though I wouldn't call it fusion. Both are fairly Americanized Mexican and Japanese dishes (think chicken and cheese on rice, and hibachi with all manner of meats and "yum yum" sauce), but it's a large menu and it had something for everyone, so it was a good fit for our quite large group. We arrived not long after opening and so they were able to seat us without any trouble -- I believe there were 11 of us total. The restaurant is large and was somewhat dimly lit but inviting enough. The bathroom was tidy despite being a little stinky. There's a large bar toward the back and it looked like there was space for dancing or musical acts. Service was efficient and friendly and patient with several party members' special requests. They also handled our many separate checks with skill. Chips and salsa came right out. The salsa was actually a highlight for me; it was surprisingly tasty and flavorful with a tiny bit of heat. Better than the average Americanized Mexican food salsa. We got a mix of items, though I think we leaned more heavily Mexican dishes. I got the Pollo Lucy off their relatively affordable lunch special menu. It's your standard chicken, cheese dip, and rice, with bonus salsa verde offered in a small squirt bottle. Although this isn't my preferred "style" of Mexican food, this was fairly good for what it was, particularly the chicken. It had a pleasant texture and was well cooked and seasoned. The rice, unfortunately, was overcooked and quite mushy and flavorless. Fortunately, that's where the copious amount of cheese dip comes in handy, lol. I liked the salsa verde and shared it with another dining companion who needed a little more umph in the taco salad she ordered. No one really raved about the food but no one really complained, either, hence the so so rating. I do appreciate the accommodations they made to ensure the two younger kids in our party would have something they liked to eat (making a plain bean burrito, serving plain cheese dip over rice, etc). That was really nice of them. Again, not really my preferred "style" of Mexican OR Japanese food for that matter, but solid enough, especially given the relative dearth of options in the area.

My husband had the mixed vegetable Teriyaki. Both entrees were very good. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely eat here again

Normally I wait to use the restroom after I eat in restaurants because you know what they say... "If you want to know how clean the kitchen is, go look at the restroom"...Well, let me tell you, EVERYTHING is immaculate in Don Taco! We ordered tacos (my hubs ordered a fish and shrimp and I got a Carne Asada and Chorizo). We loved everything, including their fresh made salsas, pickled onions, and Margaritas! Halfway through my Carne Asada taco, I looked down and realized my taco only had one tortilla holding it together (most Taco shops double up on their tortillas on their street tacos)...I looked at my taco in disbelief and said to myself, this is a fresh, handmade tortilla...look at it holding all this meat like a champ, not folding under pressure! I asked our server if they made their own tortillas, and she verified that yes, this was a handmade tortilla, and Don Taco makes them fresh everyday...Wow, what an outstanding place this is! As we finished our meal, another server offered us a sample of their Birria meat and suggested that we try that entree the next time.

Let me say, I measure places by their food and service. Don't come here for ambience - that's not happening, although they did have some great Greek music playing. I ordered the hummus with beef shawarma and wings. I asked for the buffalo sauce and he asked if I liked it hot, or HOT? I said give me the hottest you had. So he said that I would want the strawberry hot, so I took that. Wings were cooked well and the sauce was great - it's not HOT, it WAS good. The pita bread was soft and warm, and the hummus and beef shawarma was great. Really good olive oil drizzled on it, fresh parsley, and other garnishes. My daughter got the gyro on pita and it was really good. The tazhiki sauce was really good also. There were several other people eating when we were eating and they all said their food was on point. The owner brought out falafels for us to try, and they were the best I have ever had. One of the others that was eating said she used to work in a Greek restaurant about 25 years ago and that the falafels were the best she had ever had. Try this place out!!

I loved the cheese and the steak, but I was too full to eat the chicken so I saved it for tomorrow's lunch. Hanry's steak was carne asada topped with shrimp and onions with rice, beans, and avocado salad on the side. Everything was really delicious.
