Great service, great music, great ambiance, great food. Love their quesadillas!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThe best place in the CarefreeWe live in the area and have been to the Spotted Donkey many times. Never a time when the food wasn't delicicious and abundant. Not sure how some people can eat there and criticize anything....there isn't a thing we could ever say negative about this place. The variety of the menu alone should please everyone. Plan on taking some home but I can tell you that your leftovers are just as good the next day!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFunWe had a delightful lunch here. Food was good and service was fine. There was a concert going on in the courtyard and there was lots of activity and fun.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMA very Pleasant surpriseThis was our first time dining at the Spotted Donkey and I think we chose it because of the name. However, the food is terrific and our waitress was attentive, pleasant, and efficient. We'll be back.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Mexican foodGreat Mexican food. While a bit on the pricy side the Spotted Donkey provides some outstanding food. We went for lunch and I had the chicken enchaladas which were perfect. Try the combination red and green sauce. My friend had a salad which he stated was large and tasty. They offer a few unique dishes that all looked good. I will definitely return.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMa fun enjoyable place gooda fun enjoyable place good food quiet and great atmosphere4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMMy favorite local restaurant.My favorite local restaurant.

We take friends here when they visit us in Arizona and everyone enjoys it.
The cocktails are great - try the Mezcal Mule which comes in a metal cup with Russian lettering on (I wanted to sneak mine home), the staff are friendly and efficient and this place is always buzzing lunch and dinner.4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMWe always bring out of townWe always bring out of town guests, never disappointed.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFood as usual outstanding!!Food as usual outstanding!!

This was an immediate turn off as so many other good Mexican restaurants offer chips 'n salsa for free. The margaritas were awesome, really smooth.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Mexican food in CarefreeVery busy on Easter Weekend. Great food and drinks. Good wines by the glass and of course, margaritas.

We're snowbirds and each year we head there as fast as possible, once we arrive, for our favorite dishes. The food is unique, consistently good and the atmosphere is fun and festive.
