   Made a reservation with open table to have brunch with the girls. The reservation was for 5/4/2025 at 1:30 we arrived a couple minutes early let the host know we where there and she said give me a moment and left. She was gone for like 15min when she returned she proceeded to again ask if we had a reservation and said that if we didn't they weren't taking walk ins. the restaurant closes at 2pm for brunch. How do they have reservations available if they close at 2 ? 2nd we waited 20 min after our reservation and was still not seated. we ended up leaving and going elsewhere.

   Didn’t even get seated. Waited over an hour, eventually just left. Had no soap in the restroom, when told about it the soap was not refilled the entire time we were waiting. Unsure of cleanliness as the front staff member told us the manager went out to get soap because they had none. Was looking forward to dining here with my sisters and it just didn’t happen.

   Hi M, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing this feedback.

We’ve addressed both the restroom stock issue and our seating process to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We truly hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the welcoming and smooth experience you were expecting. — El Don Cocina & Cantina

   This was a very disappointing experience, especially as our first one was great. Reservations were made for party of 2 at 1pm, to celebrate a birthday. We arrived on time, but it looks like the restaurant was busy and couldn’t turn tables fast enough and is now overbooked with walk-in folks also in line. I asked multiple times if our reservation was still ok and if it will be ready soon - was finally seated at 1:45. But even then, we were seated at the bar - which usually is first come- first served. At one point, the manager who was trying to do damage control told the hostess of a reservation who is “now just like a walk-in”. The irony if that was our reservation. Then after already having placed an order of our food and drinks, we were told that a table had opened and if we would like to move. I suppose that was in effort to “fix” the reservation, but it just felt … disingenuous and honestly - we just want to have brunch. And then, our food. My partner ordered the breakfast chilaquiles… which came out cold. So we asked if it could be warmed. It’s came back and somehow, it became unbearably spicy (granted our spice tolerance isn’t as high as some, but when we first tried it, it was fine). The breakfast tacos I ordered were below average. It was so disappointing. If you can’t keep reservations, please take that option away. If you can’t turn tables fast enough, please consider a time limit for your customers.

   Wait was very long even with a reservation. Service was not good, food was on the table for almost 10 minutes before we received silverware even after getting up to go ask for silverware. Long wait for drinks. Order was incorrect. Will not be returning.

   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 .

    Took my husband to El Don Cocina & Cantina and they did not disappoint! The food was next level and drinks were great. Definitely recommend.
