The food was pretty good, chicken needed a bit more seasoning but overall i would go back. I love the look of the place, makes you feel like you are in Mexico 😁oh and I got the enchiladas.

Very nice Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the food very tasty. I have been here several times. My favorite dish is Pollo a la Diabla. And it is quite spicy. 🌶️

I had such a great experience at Damian’s Mexican Restaurant in Modesto! I ordered the mixed fajitas with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and they were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and came with all the fixings. My fiancé had the chile relleno, and it was so good! The green sauce that came with it was incredible, honestly, I could probably drink it on its own. To top it all off, I had a margarita that was perfect. On top of the amazing food and drinks, the customer service was outstanding, super friendly and attentive. Overall, everything was amazing. Great food, great service, and definitely worth recommending. We’ll for sure be coming back!

My wife has the pictures but she didn't get to it before. I ended up halfway done with a burrito. Food was really good. I would go if you can.

This place was located next to the hotel I was staying at. So, I decided to give it a try. Friendly staff and prompt service. Complimentary chips, salsa, and some bean dip. Bean dip was very tasty, but the salsa served with the chips was straight canned tomatoes with no pick or flavor other than tomato. I asked for something spicier with my meal. Which was much better. I had the carnitas plate. Carnitas were plentiful and pretty decent. The rice and beans were pretty average. I had a beer and they have happy hour from 3-9pm everyday. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would visit it again if I'm ever in town and want something close to the hotel.

Just a quick pass through Modesto to grab some tacos from Damian's Mexican Restaurant, then it'll be off to Rock Canyon to see the widow Wilhelmina Huntchbacker about selling some of her husband's vintage Bulltaco and Maico motocross dirt bikes, there must be about 50 of them, and most were never used! All those bikes ..in perfect condition, and all I could think about were the tacos from Damian's and that Amazing salsa! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

Heard a lot of bad things about this place.. very hesitant to try it.. but I'm glad I did. Took the family there and the food, was better than I was told. Definitely top front five in the Mexican food restaurants for us. We will definitely go back.

Tried Damien’s for the first time today. I ordered the chicken wet burrito with green sauce, and my girl got the beef enchiladas.
The service was solid and the food came out hot and fresh, so no complaints there. But honestly, my chicken burrito was a letdown — the meat was super bland, almost like it had no seasoning at all. It was a little dry too, but the lack of flavor was the bigger issue. Even the green sauce couldn’t save it.
On the flip side, my girl really enjoyed her beef enchiladas — said they were flavorful and well-balanced. So maybe it’s just the chicken that needs work.
I’d be down to give them another shot, but next time I’ll definitely skip the chicken and try something else.
Service was friendly. Food was average at best. We won’t be back.

Honestly, it's a nice restaurant, and they have a lot of options on their menu but the food wasn't that great. Didn't have a lot of flavor.

This place has been my family’s go-to Mexican place for over 6 years now. Their happy hour specials are awesome- drinks are strong, beer ice cold (I’m talking ice crystals on the top- so delicious on a hot day), and their free beans and chips (also comes with salsa) are my kids absolute favorite. We pull into the driveway and my 4 year old says “oh yeah baby I love this place” ?. They have a decent size fish tank by the bar that entertains my kids (4 and 6) until the food comes. These are things that people don’t mention in reviews, but it’s so important for my little young family that my kids also are so excited to come here.
We love their fajitas, la parillada is enough for the 4 of us, also love the Al pastor tacos and the pollo or camarones a la diabla. Haven’t had a bad dish yet.
