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

Food is very tasty, great portions and good variety on the menu. We were dining on a Friday evening, service was slow and disorganized, they lost one of our dinners to another table. They were nice kids doing the serving but seemed a bit "lost", maybe it was just a one off. 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

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

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

Fantastic Place! We live in Northern California and this is our #1 place whenever we're around. My favorites are the shrimp. We've haven't been there for lunch. 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

Mr. Q Restaurant - Don Q Steak Enchilada - Latin American Near Me - Atascadero, California

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

I've ordered from here on DoorDash a few times and been blown away by their gluten free pasta. finally went in to check it out, everyone's meal was very obviously put together with so much love and thought. The menu is to die for and service out of this world! I wouldn't haven't wandered in here because the decor is more that of a nail salon & not very inviting, but you'd be stupid to not try the food! read more

It's been a while since I've been to Mr. Qs and nothing has changed, thankfully. The food is still absolutely amazing even today when I ordered it to go versus sitting down and dining in. The gentleman that took my order over the phone and helped me when I got there was so friendly and welcoming. I can't say enough about this place. I always recommend it to everyone in the area is their food and service is just wonderful. 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

Went to enjoy a dinner of great flavors and we were not disappointed! The flavors of the sauces make their Mexican cuisine unique. The Mr.Q steak enchiladas are my favorite. The shrimp enchiladas are also amazing! We often bring in our own wine but this time we enjoyed a Margarita and a beer. Nice views of the downtown Atascadero City Hall and Sunken Garden. The service was attentive and pleasant as usual. We will be back again! 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

Food is always terrific and Oscar and staff are great Love going there for special occasions

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

First time eating at Mr Q, it was as absolutely fantastic. Great service. Appetizer was delicious, we had the ceviche. I had a hard time deciding between 3 dishes but decided to try the salmon dish, delicious!! Food was timed perfectly. Minutes after we finished our appetizer the soup of the day was delivered. Perfect amount of time went by after finishing the soup when our entree came to the table. Definitely recommend. Will be back to try the rest of the menu!! read more

Mr. Q Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Atascadero, California

Folks, do I have a dinner recommendation for you. Mr. Q restaurant in Atascadero. Mexican fusion at its best. Straight to the highlights of our experience. 1. Ambiance was nice. It's was clean (bathroom was very clean), easy to maneuver around the tables, has inside/outside seating, and good soft music in the background. I was told that on Fridays they have a DJ for a livelier dinner experience. 2. Service was excellent. I should point out that we were there a little before 6pm. Ximena our waitress was attentive and with a positive attitude. We really enjoyed her service delivery. She knew her menu well and provided suggestions. Food came out quickly and hot. I don't think it's an establishment that has hot lamps in their kitchen. Now to the main event, the food. Food was phenomenal! My husband had the El Patron Chile Relleno. The presentation was top notch but really what stands out is the way the chef put together a variety of flavors that burst in your mouth with joy! This will not be your usual chile relleno so don't expect it but do prepare for a culinary experience. It was delicious. I had the chimichurri ribeye steak with the papas with chorizo. Yes, yes, yes! It worked so well. The steak was cooked medium and perfect. Huge, could feed 2 people. It was tender and the sauce was not overbearing just a nice hint of something special. I highly recommend. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food. I would 100% recommend for you to try this place out. It was a lovely experience, staff were great but it's the food, folks, that will keep you wanting to come back. read more

Went here based on Yelp Reviews. I rated this place Good. It would have been Great - based on the physical attributes of the building. Not the food. The food is GREAT! Service is GREAT! The food has incredible flavor, just enough spice and cooked perfectly with care. If I could change one thing about the food is that I would prefer a little less salt in the soup - so that the true flavors of the peppers and spices would stand by themselves. The restaurant itself is a little small. I could see how some would pass this place up, simply by looking at the exterior. It is down a little alley in a strip mall. But hey! don't judge a book by the cover. They keep the inside cool with fans and an AC. But because of the size, you can hear a little hum or waffling sound from the fans - almost made me feel like I was inside of a helicopter. But, I adjusted and eventually adapted to the sound. Our server was super cool. Friendly, gave great recommendations and was very attentive whenever we asked or needed something. read more
