Don Tequila Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

The food was exceptionally tasty, that I would rate 4 stars.. nothing to write home about but decent. I think my issue lies with our server.. it was like she's been through the same meet and greet with her table she was almost cold and robotic. Assuming what we would order and what we'd be having to drink. Of course we corrected her. It took some time for her to get to our table just for drinks. Ordered and even asked her opinion on a plate or 2.. it was like pulling teeth just trying to get through a very typical run of the mill waitstaff experience. Maybe I'm being hard on her but I've waited tables plenty and at that rate of pay ... Well maybe she doesn't need the money. Long story short.. finished with our dinner needed take out boxes. Sat for like 15 minutes.. still no sign of our server. Now I'm getting antsy.. kids have school in the morning.. I get up look around for her hoping to get the check and the boxes. Luckily the bartender saw me anxiously peeking through the kitchen doors and immediately got boxes for me and alerted our server got our server, the boxes and our check for us our that quickly and we left. It's all a matter of principle people.. I went outta my way just to brighten my servers day up.. and hoping for a little sign of life..but she wanted nothing to do with us. Oh well.. I will try this place again and hope like hell we get a...

We went to dinner yesterday. Got there at 6. Ordered 2 strawberry margaritas. About 20 minutes later, another couple sat down across from us. Had their drinks in less than 5 minutes. Also got their food in about 15 minutes. The manager came by and asked to refill our chips. We asked him about our drinks. He came back and said our server was getting them. After waiting some more we asked our server about our drinks. He said he was working on it. At 6:42 we still had not gotten them or our food. The couple across from us was finished with their meal. I got up and asked for the manager. He came over and tried to say it was just busy. I pointed out the tables across from us (more than 1!) had gotten their drinks immediately. He said it was a different server. He apologized and said he would speak to our server. It took us over 45 minutes to get our drinks and food. The manager never came back or offered to adjust our bill for our long wait. Needless to say - no tip. First time I had done that in decades! The food was very good, and others did not have the wait we did. However the manager did say the table behind us was complaining also - same server. This was our first time there. Disappointed with the manager's handling of the situation. It would have been nice to take off the cost of at least one drink....

First, clean and great service. Second, it's located on Hanes Mall Blvd, but easy to access - right next to the I-40 ramps.

You can order anything here and be happy. The seafood dishes are higher than other Mexican restaurants I've been to. However, you get what you pay for.

I've been many times and never left a review, well... My photos show the California Burrito and a side of beans and rice. Each seem portioned for two people... I ate half sitting and half later. Great value: to enjoy fresh and get a takeout meal.

Did I mention their chips and salsa... I am now. Very smooth. I'll update my review with something from the drink menu in the future.

I've always been able to get a table without waiting... But, part of me wants that to change. Don Tequila's should be far busier than it's competitors around Hanes Mall because their food and experience is superior. Try it for yourself and you'll have the same questions... But you'll be...
