The food was delicious and the service was even better, totally recommended if you like fresh authentic Mexican food. Bonus points for their coffee, you won’t find this type of coffee anywhere.

Awesome Mexican restaurant! We sat outside and loved it! Homemade guacamole right in front of your table. I had a spicy pork torta, and my fiance had three pulled pork tacos that were actually delicious. Very moist and flavorful. the TORTA was crunchy and delicious

We (my husband, my two son’s and I) had an early dinner tonight at La Dona in the Carpenter’s Square Mall. (BYOB/BYOT) At 5:00 we were able to be seated, no wait. Outside dining. We ordered four aqua frescas, three Hibiscus flavored and one lemon. The Hibiscus was very tasty and refreshing. My son loved his lemon flavored drink. Appetizers were: prepared at table-side guacamole and chips, which was delicious. Also, chicken empanadas, an appetizer special. The dough was amazing, so light and tasty. For dinner we had fish tacos (2 orders) carne asada and chicken enchiladas in green sauce. I also had a side of Elote, Mexican street corn. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We then ordered dessert because we oogled another table having dessert and they looked so good. We had spicey chocolate, two orders of flan (best we’ve ever tasted) and tres leche cake. Everything we ate this evening was just so good. Our service was phenomenal from our waiter to refills of water, we were very well taken care of. We let the owner know twice how fantastic everything was. This was the best meal we’ve had since we arrived. So authentic. The vibe, music, food and atmosphere is perfect here.

Absolutely loved this place! What a fun ambience and was very clean and airy too. The table-side guac was simply fantastic!! Verde enchilada was so flavorful. Tres leches was yumm!!! The only thing you need to be aware of is that they dont have too many veggie options, but whatever they have, is delicious! It’s BYO.

Excellent Mexican restaurant. The food was extremely good. Table side guacamole service was spot on. The creator asked for spice level as well as every ingredient. The waitress was beyond helpful and friendly. She offered recommendations for our food allergy child (toquitos were a hit). The mexican cokes were glorious!! We will definitely be returning in the very near future.
