I recently visited Don Prez Taco Cantina, and I have to say, the experience was disappointing. the prices were far too high for what you actually get. The portions were small, and the taste definitely didn’t justify the cost. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless they seriously improve their offerings or adjusting their prices to better fit a casual taco spot. For instance, I ordered the chips and salsa, which were priced at $8- which to me is on the higher end but not outrageous….until I saw the size of the salsa (I pictured below). It was literally a dipping cup for French fries.
Our bill ended up being $130 with tip, here is what that got us
-2 margaritas (that were mostly ice)
- chips and salsa
- 4 street tacos
- a side of rice that was cold
That all being said our waitress was fantastic! Super friendly and definitely was the highlight of our experience.

My first time here. The owners were friendly and kind. I was served quickly and I received great service.
I got the chorizo breakfast tacos which are only available on the weekends. They were hardy and filling and came with a side of creamy salsa verde which added a welcome brightness. I’m from Austin, where breakfast tacos are kind of a big deal, and these are as good as any I’ve had back home.
If I’m ever back, I bet melted cheese on the taco and swapping the corn tortilla for flour would make it mind blowing.

Price vs food portions here is actually outrageous. I support small business and I live here in the city but paying almost 10 dollars for half an ounce of salsa and a basket of chips along with 10 dollars a taco (after the credit card charge) is not for me. The owner came in half way through our dinner and by her other comments (on reviews) and demeanor I’m sure she will fight this review. However it is truly way overpriced for the tiny “high quality” food portions. I Will not be back.

Met up with friends here tonight to try something new. I had the quesabirria which was worth $20 for the 3 tacos- delish. The chips and guac were pretty good too- the chips appeared to be freshly made. Everything else was overpriced and overall not worth the entire bill. Always happy to support a small business but we will not be returning due to the prices. The service was friendly and the place was small and cute- glad we gave it a try.

Delicious food and drinks! The fried avocado taco was amazing!
Stopped by this place on a whim - and was blown away! The food was SO good (and worth the price!). Highly recommend both the fish tacos and the margaritas. Can't wait to try more!

Just go, it's one of those places that you realize is special halfway through your dining experience. Don't skip the ceviche.
