| - First, I will say that Mexican food is high on my list! Love it! Plus, I was born & raised in Southern CA., where GOOD mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen.
In northeast Ohio, however, not so much.
Since having moved here in the mid-90's, I've tried many different Mexican restaurants, but - so far, have found only 3 that are worth your time & money. These include....(in no particular order)......
- Cozumel (which has 4 locations in this region).
- Mallorca (in downtown Cleveland)
- and, I'm glad to add DON TEQUILA to this short list.
The first thing I noticed about Don Tequila Restaurant, was the nice easy-going atmosphere, with cantina music playing in the background, and a Very friendly, welcoming staff. So, I already liked this place. ;)
Within 1 minute of being seated, a friendly server came up with chips & salsa, and asked what we would like to drink. ((Bonus points!))
We ordered drinks, and then - at another nearby table, a group of employees began gathering around, clapping & kickin' up some energy..... Their server placed this HUGE sombrero on one girl's head, and they all sang "Happy birthday" to her.
Now, obviously, this is nothing new in many restaurants, but here was a group of family & friends having a good time together, and apparently, the 'birthday girl' chose this restaurant at which to celebrate her special day. And, unlike some restaurants where the staff are obviously thinking: "Ohhhh great, another birthday. Let's hurry up 'n sing this damn song again so we can get on with our lives"..... the staff who were around that table (which was about 5-6 people), genuinely appeared to be having Fun with the group, sang well, and wished her a happy birthday. Ya know, it's just good to see moments when even strangers can make a nice difference to someone on a special occasion. :)
But, OK, back to my own experience.....
So, my date and I decided to order the steak fajitas for two.
We had a very good time, and the place wasn't too loud, so we could have a conversation without having to shout. And, within 15 minutes, our food came out, still sizzling....everything looked and tasted great.....the tortillas were warm, and they brought salsa dishes to the table.... Very impressed.
As for thr food, itself, everything on our plates (including the steak, rice, refried beans, sour cream, fresh lettuce, guacamole, etc), was Great.
Our server checked back a couple of times to see that everything was good, and asked if wanted anything more..... Very friendly.....Great atmosphere.....
I will definitely be back. Afterall, these kinda places are few & far between around here. ;)
