Mexican cornbread
April D.

Overall, the experience was a mix of good and bad. Service was good. Restaurant was dimly lit, which we liked. Chips were thin and fresh, and the salsa and queso were great. There was no discernible cilantro in the salsa, which is rare, but a plus for us because we are not cilantro fans. The kids ordered nachos and a kid's chicken quesadilla. My husband ordered the enchilada rancheros, and I ordered the Mexican cornbread with tortilla soup. We also ordered the pear and dessert pear margaritas but were told these were discontinued. The server recommended a black cherry and mango margarita instead, so we got those. The margaritas were large, very strong (we didn't finish them), and served in styrofoam cups. My husband said his enchiladas were average. The kids were happy with their food, but my soup was very salty, and the Mexican cornbread was not as expected. I had been to this restaurant and ordered it years ago and loved it, but on this visit, the outside was overcooked, and it was almost entirely meat (like more than 90% meat). I was expecting far more cornbread with noticeable peppers, but all I tasted was meat and cheese. It was very disappointing. Would not recommend and will not order again.

Lunch shrimp fajitas, enough for 2

See all

Don Tomas Mexican Grill - Pollo a la crema

Don Tomas Mexican Grill

I love Mexican food. It is my favorite cuisine, hands down. Don Tomas is the best Mexican…read morerestaurant within a 50 mile radius. Trust me, I've tried them all. I've had good, bad, and I'll be in the bathroom for the next four hours, if anyone needs me. Don Tomas isn't good, it's AMAZING! The food is so authentic, that Donald Trump would have it deported. The service is great and the staff is very friendly. If you love Mexican food as much as me, do your stomach a service and eat at Don Tomas. Most Mexican restaurants have your food out almost as fast as you order it. Why? Because most of the time, it's already made and is just heated up for you. Not here. Don't get me wrong. They're pretty fast, too. But you can definitely tell that the food hasn't been sitting in the back, waiting for you to say, "Yeah, I'll have the number 16, because I don't know how to pronounce it." And ladies, if you like margaritas, they have two for one specials from 4-9. I think it's every Thursday, but I'm not positive. I'm not a woman and I can't pass for one. Maybe one day I'll try to get in on that special and hope they just think I'm an ugly woman and not ask. I'm not much of a drinker, but it sounds like a fun thing to try. I'll have to work on my female voice. Maybe throw on a sexy little number. Sorry, I'm going off topic here. The food is great. Go eat it, now! Or later. I'm sorry for yelling. By the way, I don't see their hours posted anywhere on Yelp, so I'll post them here: Hours: Sun: 11AM-9PM Mon: 11AM-9PM Tue: 11AM-9PM Wed: 11AM-9PM Thu: 11AM-9PM Fri: 11AM-9PM Sat: 11AM-9PM

Great food and prices. Happy hour prices are very good, just make sure to get there in time…read more.. they could make sure the TV's are on good sports in the bar area... And they could let you know that there is a salsa bar. but all is really good, will be back.
