Dona Maria Tamales Restaurant — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Horrible! The prices wouldn't be that bad if the food was actually of quality. The salsa served with the chips is very bland. Pretty much just a tomato paste. I got lunch number 10. The tamale was not bad but it was not great. The masa was doughy likes it's been sitting in steam or water. Beans were disgusting. No flavor. Rice was dry and tasted of tomato paste. Steak burrito was also bland with no flavor on the beans. The steak tasted as if it was boiled and just put on the grill to give the grilled steak appearance. There was also thick chunks of raw onion which was just very odd. Usually onion served on tacos or a burrito are finely chopped. Mole enchiladas were okay maybe a 7 or 8 out of 10. Chorizo was salty af. Orange juice tasted like something made out of a frozen concentrated can and was left out all day. Masks are required but apparently the servers do not have to wear a gloves when using bare hands to scoop up chips for the customers. And just a few minutes before they were helping clear out tables not washing hands after touching used plates silverware cups etc then going straight to the chip warmer. Brought up the concern with the waitress and she said she would talk to the manager. While I was there that specific server w the white shirt was scooping up the chips with her hands. must have served about 4 to 5 tables. Can you say cross contamination and not following covid CDC guidelines. Seriously though, the health department needs to give them a visit because a pitcher of salsa was sitting out on the counter. I'm pretty sure that salsa needs to be refrigerated and under a certain temperature. All in all about 1/3 of the food was eaten but could not down the rest because it was just such a disgusting experience. That's probably why the bathroom had poop all over the toilet and the toilet was clogged because of all the cross-contamination and food not properly stored. $70 for all this food. Worst experience and worse money spent this weekend...

Right Off the Strip and one of Las Vegas Best Mexican Restaurants ,Simplicity and Hot Food Can Never Be Taken For Granted. Started Wuth a New Big Bowl of Chips &Salsa which And Its Coming To Your Favorite Restaurant Will Not Be Free Any Longer But Considered an Appetizer and You Will Pay For. Till Then We Enjoyed our Free Offering and It Was Hot and Delicious 😋 The Restaurant Decor Was Simple but Again Less is More. I'm Over Sombreros and a Cactuses 🌵 with Panchos on the wall. Treated My Madre ,Her 1st Time There, and We Were Very Happy That Menudo Was Offered 7 days a week as We were both in the mood for a Simple brunch, I rarely order a Soft Drink but With a Biwl of Menudo it Just Goes Together like Batman and Robin,especially after a Long Fun Night in Vegas(Wink,Wink) I Was Again Pleased With My Soft drink as it Was Crisp and Refreshing, I Could Tell The Beverage Machine was serviced Regularly and Lines Kept Clean,Yes I'm a Soft Drink afficionado and Very Picking! Superb and That Set the tempo Fir the Rest of the Meal! Menudo was Offered in 3 Sizes and was Made With Honeycomb Tripe! Very Appreciated 👏 and served Hot and Was Delicious 😋 I Opt Fir the Pata which was Extra $4.95 and with All The Garnish Brought Out to Us Be for Hand Onions,Cilantro,Oregano,dried Peppers,Cut fresh Onions Which We Added to Complete that Fantastic Bowl.But must Say the Flour Tortillas Were Disappointing, very dry and Tasteless. Yes, a good tortilla should have taste and Not Taste like it Came Out The Plastic Pack it Was Shipped in. Service Was On Point As 2 Wonderful and Friendly Servors attended to Our Dining Needs and Beverages Were Filled Constantly 👌 We Will Not Only Be Back! Thank You For a Very Pleasurable Meal and Dining Experience, Sincerely Mr Mario...

I just ate there and ordered the Cheese Enchiladas and a cheese tamale. I had eaten about half my tamale and was eating my Enchilada when I crunched on something very hard and sharp. It was a piece of one of their white plates are cups. I didn't want to cause a scene so we showed the waiter who didn't even seem to care too much about it. He said he would bring me another plate and I said no thank you, maybe you could just bring me a tamale. He brought it to me but still left the other plate in front of me. I'm not sure if he thought I was still going to eat off a plate that had some sort of broken glass in the food. I had to push the plate aside to get him to even offer to pick it up. I couldn't believe he hadn't even apologized or anything for it. It was almost like he didn't believe me but he looked at it himself. The when the bill came they charged us full price for a meal that I had eaten half a tamale from and then the tamale he had replaced. I hadn't eaten the rice or anything else off the plate. I had to ask him about it and still he didn't even apologize or anything. He did end up taking that charge off saying that he had called the owner and the owner said it was okay to remove that charge. I'm still not sure if I didn't swallow some of the glass but I guess that does't concern them too much. I understand that accidents can happen but I would think the people that work in their restaurants would be trained how to handle situations like that. At bare minimum they could have apologized. But then to also charge me for something I couldn't even eat and not offer any sort of solution or anything. I am just at a lose of...
