Artistic and tasty tacos and great prices. No reservations just walk in but can get busy during pick lunch and dinner hours. Love it and will be back.

If you're a taco lover, Don Taco in Alexandria is a must-visit! They offer an incredible variety of tacos – from blackened salmon to grouper, fried chicken, and beef – truly, they have something for everyone. The authenticity doesn't stop at the food; their selection of liquors and drinks are deeply rooted in Mexican culture. With options like margaritas, mojitos, and palomas, you're sure to find the perfect drink to complement your meal.This time, I decided to try the burrito, and it was a delightful surprise! It was not only delicious but also very filling – I didn't need anything else after. The wait staff at Don Taco is always great, making each visit enjoyable. This place remains a staple on my go-to list for a guaranteed good time and great food.

Came here for lunch after the parade last month, was pleasantly surprised to get seated right away. The staff were all so friendly, and our server was great. The tacos were fantastic. Great option right on King St. Will definitely be back.

I don’t normally write reviews but im not sure what kind of spin y’all were going for but it wasn’t it. I also don’t understand how this is a high rated/reviewed place. It does not live up to the hype. I did not like the food at all. The regular toppings that come on tacos were almost nonexistent and no lime was served unless you asked for it. Drink prices were well overpriced. If you’re from anywhere down south and you’re looking for good tacos, this is not the place for you. You will be disappointed.

The atmosphere was average which was fine, the food taste is very good, but the ratio of portion to price isn't the best. Chips and salsa aren't included like normal Mexican restaurants, chips are $5/basket, service was extremely slow, it kind of ruined the experience.

Should never have to pay for chips and salsa. Margarita was great . Tacos we were super small and meet was dry!

There hasn’t been a time that I ordered to-go and my order was correct. They take no accountability and basically give you what they want to give you. No apologies for their mistakes. Their solution was for me to place another order. I guess so they can mess that up to. I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DIME AFTER THE POOR SERVICE I RECEIVED TODAY!

Came in on a Sunday afternoon. Nice kick back spot with plenty of tequila options. The bar tender was very attentive and the tacos tasted good.

Great service and amazing food. The price was very reasonable and the atmosphere was friendly and cosy. The deep-fried oreos were other-worldly!

Always a good experience at Don Taco! The bartenders are always on point and very attentive! The drinks are made with precision and care! This steak quesadilla is definitely top 3 for sure! The steak was tender and moist while the cheese pull had me in a chokehold!

As always I had a great experience at Don Taco. The customer service is always great at the bar. The drinks are good and strong and the food is tasty and consistent. My favorite item on the drink menu is The Exchange. It's a combination of a shot, sangrita and choice of beer. It is not a cocktail, but is such a delight. My favorite food item is definitely the steak quesadilla. The tacos are great, but the steak and cheese in the quesadilla is perfect every time. The restaurant is kind of small, but intimate and has some cute decorations.

The service was absolutely incredible here. Our server did the best job, and I don't shout out servers too often. The booth was very uncomfortable. Definitely needed a higher seat or something, but we made due. The food was good. I recommend the taco trio. They have interesting selection of craft tacos which I thought was neat and modern. The drinks were very good. I highly recommend the a spicy margarita.

We asked to be seated outside and they agreed only to not provide us service. There were seven people. After 10 minutes they asked us to move inside to a smaller space to be served faster. The food was not good. Average at best and needed more seasoning. I would not return. Upon leaving there was a party of people seated outside in the same spot my group was receiving perfectly fine service and not asked to move.

It's in a little nook on King Street, so it has a certain small shop vibe. The food, service, and margaritas however were stellar.
