    Man, oh man! Guys do yourself a freaking favor. Probably the best street tacos I've ever had in my life and I'm 53 years old. Great margarita with salt lime. The set up was wonderful. You're familiar with street tacos having cilantro and diced onions. How about a small side of grilled onions with little cubes of potato...they care about what they are doing here.. very refreshing. This is a unique place lots of ambience, and attention to detail. Definitely not overdone by any stretch, but you can tell this restaurant tour takes pride and what he does. I visited on a Sunday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon so parking was a cinch, it's not an issue during the week. It's located in an old downtown area of Monroe with narrow streets and a lot of old brick buildings. There are other restaurants and bars around as well. You can tell this was a Main Street Monroe 50+ years ago. Read the remainder of the reviews and you can tell that I'm not joking with what I say. Give them a shot and share your experience if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, please give these guys a try.

    First time coming and the service was good, very friendly always checking on if we needed anything. I liked the birria and carnitas tacos the best, and the onions and potatoes on the side were delicious!

    I enjoyed this place! It's more of a party place so don't expect it be quiet or private ! It's downtown in historical Monroe and is close to a coffee place, other bars, and a billiards bar. The quesabirria was good but sauce was a little salty. I really enjoyed the margarita and the chicken taco. Nice place for a light dinner and a drink! Very vibrant and lively

    Some of the best tacos and margaritas in town! The location is small and is best for groups no more than 6.

    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

    I would rate this place as a mid level Mexican restaurant. It wasn't bad but not amazing either,…read morenothing just stood out to make it so great. The house salsa definitely needed some doctoring, but they had a little salsa bar with 2 other types of salsa, limes, onion & cilantro. All the ingredients to make it taste good. Chips were good. Cheese dip was hot for which I appreciated very much. The happy plate was decent. Food came fast. Server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant felt dirty, which is probably what messed me up the most, besides having to season up my food with salsa bar offerings to give it more flavor. So, try it for yourself if you want, not saying it was bad, I've definitely had worse, but there's better places.
