10 out of 10: I've eaten at countless restaurants across California and visited plenty of steakhouses, but this place is truly in a league of its own. The filet mignon with the masala reduction sauce and mushrooms was absolutely outstanding--paired with the spiced mashed potatoes, the depth of flavor and unique blend of spices was unlike anything I've ever had. Even beyond the steaks, the vegetarian tacos were incredible. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional meal. Do not pass this place up! read more

Oscar, ,our server, was very friendly and explained the dishes we chose well . He was also very accommodating. The lunch Chile Relleno was so full of sabor (flavor) that rice underneath the Poblano chile and the chicken had the Poblano chile flavor punctuated throughout the elements of the dish. I ordered the grilled chicken pesto ciabatta sando with a side salad. The salad consisted of a romaine lettuce heart peppered with cotija cheese, corn, tomato and a chipotle cream dressing. The dressing complimented the toppings in the romaine heart. We also had pomegranate margaritas on the rocks , which were refreshing and what you want in any good margaritas. Our lunch experience was delightful and memorable. read more

Walking in everything is clean with plenty of seating. It's been a while since we've been in so we felt it was time to come back . We enjoyed it the last time and we loved it this time. Oscar is wonderful and attentive to your needs. Food comes out hot and fresh. Love the fusion of flavors. We definitely want to come back to try some other things as unfortunately our stomachs filled up with the 2 awesome dishes! This is a must if you are in the area and hungry. read more

Nice ambiance. Service is awesome. We've never been disappointed with the food. Love the Popper appetizer but be prepared you never know how hot the jalapenos will be. Last visit we got 2 that were more than a little hot but the citrus helps even out the burn, but the 2nd two were much milder. No matter what you get they are the best appetizer in the city. Our dinners have been so good whether it's the salmon or the steak, nice twist on the dishes and very flavorful We come home raving about what we ate. read more

The food was such a pleasant surprise! We were searching for a new place to have Mexican, and this Latin-California fusion food popped up. The cream of poblano soup was incredible, the best I have ever had! The perfect balance of poblano and spice. A similar sauce was on the Chicken Enchiladas. The filling contained savory chicken, mushrooms, and spinach. I hope to be able to duplicate this at home in New Mexico. My NY steak chimichurri was excellent! perfectly cooked! Loved the chimichurri- read more

We have enjoyed Don Q's menu since they were FAAAAR from downtown and we have always loved their food. This was our first visit to the downtown location and it did NOT disappoint. We had a featured menu special which is a 4 course meal for $45 which my husband and I shared - this worked out well. Neither one of us was over stuffed and we got to share every item on the special. We chose a salad, then asada fries, followed by the shrimp enchiladas and for dessert we didn't really have a choice because they only had flan left. Everything was delicious and we will return. read more

Just a quick note food good as always, my husband and I both had different Salmon dishes. I also had 2) Don Q Margaritas. Service great, Dayana was friendly and informative. But everyone was nice and looking out for each other's tables. My one complaint, the napkins. For a nice place they were so expensive and didn't hold up well. I would love to see cloth napkins. The bathroom was clean and I still love the decor of the place. read more

Mr Qs is located along the main drag of A-town (with plenty of new parking in the median) inside a large, multi-restaurant plaza (but you enter directly from the street side). A friendly greeting upon arrival. We had made a reservation for our party of five for a Tuesday night dinner of friends. It was a warm evening and the patio doors were open. At about 80 degrees outside, the interior was a little warm; we should have moved to the cute side patio. The menu is Latin fusion, described to us by our server as dishes from across Mexico, South America, and other parts of Central America. The menu has many choices from appetizers, chicken, pork, seafood, and vegetarian + vegan sections. There's also a full page of cocktails ($11), $6 beer (bottled), and wine. The Black Cadillac Margarita stood out for its black color (from powdered charcoal, which gave it an earthy, smoky note) and silver tequila. The other margaritas were reposado tequila based and flavored with the accordant flavored syrup. The Cure cocktail was also a standout, with house-infused watermelon tequila ($11). Wines by the glass or bottle (glasses were $12 for whites or rose, $11 for reds). Entrees came with a small, very fresh side salad or soup (last night's soup was a creamy corn and jalapeño, which was exquisite). Many of the menu items are titled with a type of liquor (for example, Jim Beam Enchiladas, Single Malt Seafood Tacos), which is a thematic choice and does not indicate inclusion of said liquor in the recipe. Everyone was happy with their entrees, which had an appetizing presentation and generous portion. Our server let us know that everything on menu was gluten free except for the flour tortillas (but there were gluten-free corn tortillas as well). I was very happy with my "Dom Perignon Chile Relleno" - a large poblano chile stuffed with shrimp and corn kernels in a cheesy sauce), battered in cornmeal and deep fried, with chopped fresh veggies, crumbled queso fresco, and a chipotle sauce (I asked for that on the side; it was delicious), $24.95. It comes on a bed of white rice or papas chorizo (roasted, mashed potato with chorizo crumbles - yay for that!). The Asombroso Sopas were also a hit (ordered with carne asada, you also had the choice of chicken or al pastor, $22.95). The vegan potato tacos (3 tacos, $18.95) were tossed in a cilantro sauce. The El Charro pork enchiladas came with beans and white rice and were a generous portion ($19.95). The service was 5/5 attentive, competent, and friendly. We lingered after paying the bill as no one was waiting for a table and our server continued to check on us and welcomed the lingering - true Latin style! I plan to return to try the sopas and take The Cure watermelon-infused tequila cocktail with Tajin rim) before the summer is through! read more

The restaurant was very clean and the staff was exceedingly friendly and attentive. A waiter was in training and he was very proficient. We had two entrées and the serving size was large, enough for a lunch the next day. The restaurant accommodated gluten-free needs and traded corn tortillas for the flour tortillas that came with the dish. The enchiladas were over sauced in the black bean sauce which over shadowed the steak inside, but it was flavorful when I scraped some off read more

*Visited on a Saturday night with a group of 4 I first want to say that the staff is incredibly kind and very attentive. This was our first time visiting Mr. Q, and safe to say that we were impressed and loved our dinner experience. The shop is quite spacious and right in the heart of downtown! You can see Atascadero's beautiful City Hall from here, and at nice it's very pretty with the lit trees. OKAY THE FOOD: * I had gotten the Don Q Steak Enchiladas and my GOSH were they tasty. It came with rice and beans, and was incredibly filling. * My partner had gotten their 3 or 4 (i totally forgot) course dinner set, which included soup and/or salad, an entree, and a dessert! I'd definitely give this restaurant a try as they are locally owned and have amazing staff members! read more

What a great restaurant. I was confused by their mkting: logo, name and title - but what fantastic Latin Fusion restaurant!! The restaurant says its California Fusion but more correctly it is Latin Fusion. The flavors of their Latin foods ( enchiladas, Sopas, Chili Relleno) is superb. Inside decor is beautiful, but it's of New York panoramas vice Latin city panoramas. I had a classic margarita that was spot on. The Poblano soup was spectacular - I'd like an option to add spices. For appetizer we had Black and White Molletes which were flavorful- a must. For dinner I had Asombroso Sopes with Asada meat. It was tender and flavorful with all the sauces. Service was one of the best I've had - prompt and attentive. Ashley was charming and Oscar was informative. Besides comments above I have two suggestions: 1- with the upscale vibe and food I'd use cloth napkins vice paper. 2- the cushions on the seats was thin making then hard. Overall a must visit restaurant. I plan on making it a frequent stop. I look forward to trying the Enchalades and Steaks. read more

Don't let the name of the restaurant deter you -- the food is fantastic. It's not your typical Mexican food, but rather what you'd expect from an upscale Mexican restaurant. Our tasty ceviche appetizer came with a more-than-generous portion of chips, followed by the best creamy poblano soup I've ever had. My husband's Habana & Shrimp dish was not only flavorful, but incredibly tender as well. He said it was the best meal he's had in quite a while. My Reserva De La Familia salmon plate was fantastic -- it practically melted in my mouth. And the flavorful rice smothered in the sauce was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area! read more

I was very impressed with our meal at Mr. Q Restaurant! The restaurant is small, but we were seated immediately on a Friday evening. The place looks chic with pictures of nyc and Paris as the main decor. They are located on the Main Street in Atascadero, with only street parking. They also charge a surcharge when using a credit card. Service: Service was great and food came out quickly. Food was excellent! Food: The group got the mango ceviche to start, which came as a fairly large portion. They were even kind enough to bring extra chips when we asked. They are Taco Works chips, which are a local staple to the central coast and so delicious! For my entree, I got the Chile Rellano over white rice. It was jam packed with flavor, filled with pulled pork, veggies, cheese, mango and drowned in a creamy jalapeño sauce. It wasn't overly spicy and it was a very different dish. My husband got the pork chop and it was huge! I didn't get to try it, but he enjoyed it. Would definitely come back here when visiting the central coast. read more

Mr Qs was a Black Friday first. We went looking for something new after the movies. The service was great. The food was good. If you know me. My bleu cheese dressing is a buggy. (I hate sweet & tangy) & this one was pretty good. They got one of the meals wrong. My husband ordered enchiladas & got tacos. The waitress was nice (as were all the staff there) & accommodating but you could tell she thought she was right. She offered to comp it. But we didn't want that, it was just that our whole party heard the order too. Other than that, it was good! Everyone liked my enchiladas the best. I'm not a fan of too spicy but they all love it & voted for my dish as their favorite. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a little bit of spice! read more

First of all, thank God for Yelp on road trips, right?!?! We've all been there...driving for hours on end and then realizing that it's a necessity to stop for sustenance so that you can make it to your destination. Anyway, thanks YELP And WOW...what a TREAT this place is! Kind of divey-looking, down some random alley. But damn it's amazing. Beautiful presentation, totally awesome staff, quick service, thoughtful recommendations, clean setting, excellent plating...portion size was spot-on... I'm just so impressed. I had the El Charro tacos (Al pastor) with the pineapple on the side and with corn tortillas instead of flour. They were perfect in every way. The jalapeño cream sauce was something I could drink out of a glass...so tasty. Way to go, Atascadero! Can't wait for the drive back up the coast in two days! Stellar. read more

Six of us went for dinner at their new restaurant. Parking is definitely a challenge and a couple of our friends were late for the reservation because they had to drive around a lot of times to find a place. Once seated, we had the most delightful waitress. She was so pleasant and fun. The service was beyond reproach and our drinks were all really good. The food was fabulous. I don't think I have ever had service in any restaurant as attentive as this one. The owner was also everywhere. Really nice gentleman. Our reservation was at 6pm and when we were done, we noticed that most of the patrons were leaving so we sat and chatted. The music kept getting louder and louder until we decided to leave. Someone said, " Hey, stay to dance." We just came for a nice dinner. We are not in our 20's. I still gave them 5 stars for the food and service because it was so excellent, but the loud music was very much a turn off for us. We will definitely be back. We hope they re-think this loud music thing. No one was staying to dance. read more
