   Their advertising attracts you to stop by. Little surprised of how small it is so I think it’s a good idea to make a reservation ahead of time before it can get busy. Little disappointed on drink selection and the appearance of menu style. Requested a michelada (wasn’t on menu?) and it was in a small glass with not even left over beer given on side so not really worth the price.They don’t carry certain beers like corona. I think they should show a separate drink menu maybe with some pictures added so you can get an idea of drinks you want to try. Bonus points for having the prices included on everything.

   I went to an R&B brunch event at El Don. The food, music, service and vibes were on point! I got the churro pancakes and they were 10/10 a must try! Not too sweet which is was I was worried about at first it was perfect without the syrup.

   First of all sun was directly in our faces , nothing on the window to help with that . Appetizers came almost at the same time as main , drinks were half filled glasses . And they were already pre made drinks at that . Soda was flat . Food was mediocre not that great . My daughter ordered enchiladas and they came out as just chicken pieces on a plate we had to send back. Added gratuity was insane $170 for a $400 bill . We won’t be going there again . Also they promised to do a birthday celebration song for my father who turned 79 . No one ever came by table after we requested to do before we left .

   We were seated almost an hour after our reservation. Once we arrived at our table, the waitress didn't provide us with menus. Our food arrived well over an hour after we ordered. The food was great.

   Delicious food and great service. Music was fantastic and just made the experience that much more enjoyable. I was told about El Don from a teacher I work with. So worth going!!

    Our 2nd time here. It was still good but our food came out lukewarm and the black beans were bland. I mentioned it to our waiter and he offered to warm it up. He brought us the most delicious desert. Hot chocolate cake with yummy ice cream. It is quite pricey, but portions are large so very shareable. The drinks are excellent, that’s what added to the overall cost.
