The Spotted Donkey Cantina, located at the Hilton in Clearwater, offers authentic Mexican food and excellent service. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the portions are huge. Vegetarian options like the veggies and black bean fajitas come highly recommended. The staff is attentive and competent, making for a superior dining experience. Guests often enjoy the cantina shooters, which are large jalapeños stuffed with cheese and served with a tasty dip. The enchiladas and churro beans also receive praise. Customers appreciate the friendly service, with servers like Juvi and Kristen noted for their helpfulness and bubbly personalities. The food is frequently called delicious, with dishes such as Kicking Nachos, nachos, chopped salad, and birria tacos receiving high praise. The prickly pear margarita and skinny coconut margarita are also highly recommended. While most experiences are positive, some reviews mention that rice and beans can be served cold, and occasionally tacos may be slightly burnt or the experience might be average. Overall, it is a great place to enjoy high-quality food and service, with many guests saying it’s the best Mexican food they’ve ever had.
