If you're looking for the best Mexican food in Ohio, Don tequila in Upper Arlington is the absolute best. The food and service and the cleanliness of the restaurant is the absolute best. Been a customer for 7 years. And we'll continue, this is our favorite place

This is literally the best Mexican Restaurant in Columbus! The food has been absolutely delicious, hot, and fresh every time I’ve been here! I love their steak fajitas, queso dip, and all the variations of enchiladas! The staff is so friendly and provide great service! The drinks are delicious and well mixed! I love this place and I’ll keep coming back!
