He the chicken salad with cucumber and apple. The food was delicious but a bit pricey. Service was excellent. It did take quite a bit of time for the food to arrive. The menu being on the white board was a bit awkward. Perhaps have someone with a better penmanship. It was hard to read.

I went to dondiegos for the first time in a while for for lunch. I ordered the beef enchilada which was one of my all time favorites. It came to me with ground beef inside, Like hamburger meat. Normally it has always been shredded roast or meat like that. I did not expect a hamburger wrap. I ate it but was very disappointed. It had no flavor and no cheese. I won’t be ordering it again if that’s there new beef enchilada aka hamberger wrap

I'm not sure where all the good reviews came from but this was some of the worst food I've ever eaten. The fact that the chicken is precooked artificial type chicken in strips and the salad had no dressing and the chips that were offered as a disguised complimentary item cost $6 I can honestly say this place was not worth it. I don't know which part of this restaurant is Mexican ....was it the store-bought Tostito chips or the Taco Bell style quesadilla but there is nothing Mexican about this restaurant.
Not a great start to my trip Terrace.

The best food I've ever had, no exaggeration!!! I visit everytime I'm in Terrace. The prices are higher than average but the portions are large. Every dessert I've tried is out of this world delicious!

We tried Don Diego’s in Terrace and ordered the chicken enchilada, prawn cilantro rice bowl, and grilled chicken salad. The food was good and nicely prepared, but it didn’t really feel like authentic Mexican cuisine. Even the atmosphere felt off — instead of Mexican music, they were playing Indian music, which didn’t fit the theme.

What really stood out was how slow the service was, especially considering there weren’t many people in the restaurant at the time. It made the dining experience feel longer than it needed to be.

Overall, it’s an okay spot if you want to try something different, but if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food and quicker service, this might not be the place.

We booked Don Diego’s for our wedding welcome party after previous good experiences here. Unfortunately, the experience was an absolute embarrassment and ruined the night before our wedding.

We were reassured repeatedly by the owner that if we filled the restaurant (which we did), we would have it to ourselves between 7:00 and 7:30. Instead, when our guests arrived, the place was packed — including a table of 14+ people. Only two servers were working, so service was beyond dismal. My elderly family members waited over an hour for a glass of water. The bridal party was literally bussing tables, and the bride herself had to hand out chips just so people had something to eat while they waited.

By 9:30 pm, the bride and groom still hadn’t received food. They had to ask for it to-go and leave their own welcome party hungry while most of their guests were still sitting without meals. This is not just poor service — it’s completely unacceptable.

When the father of the groom tried to negotiate (at the very least) free chips, removing the $35/plate charge the owner had previously insisted on, or dropping the automatic gratuity, the only concession she made was letting go of the $35/plate charge. She still charged the regular menu rate — which, considering the abysmal service, is wildly overpriced.

The truth is simple: the food is good but overpriced, and the owner is greedy. This place used to have a good reputation, but it’s gone completely downhill. Don Diego’s is not just badly run — it’s a reflection of an owner who values squeezing every dollar over honoring commitments, hospitality, or basic human decency.

Save yourself the disappointment. Terrace deserves better.

visited this place for the first time on my birthday. Despite being fully packed, the service was great and the desserts were absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our time there! Definitely visit again soon.
