   Nice place but terrible food. Fiesta bowl was so over played with lime it was not edible. Tacos were bland and lacking flavor. Chips & guac just ok.

   Menu was good and the food was very good. Our server was also very good. Casual, fun atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend The Spotted Donkey.

   The wait staff was lovely, but took 45 min for our drinks to arrive and almost 2 hours to get our food! Several tables got up and left mid service as the food took forever. They kept saying our meals were coming and then would disappear for 20 or more minutes, then drift back and say food was coming soon. Would not recommend or go back.

   The salmon tostada and carne asada were delicious! Slight headache from the house recommended margarita, so I should have upgraded the tequila that was used.

   A nice, Mex-Tex restaurant right on the 400 Mandolay Ave. block (high tourist area). Indoor or outside seating, lots of people to watch. I have an allergy to pod-type peppers and there was very little to choose from on the menu for me, but they tried to work around the problem.

   The food was pretty good, but the restaurant lacked many vegetarian options. While the service was good, it was noticeably slow. I would consider eating here again if they expanded their vegetarian menu.

   The food here was the strangest version of Mexican food I’ve ever had. If just coming for chips and salsa and great service this place is it. Couldn’t ask for a better staff but food needs some help.

   Location good and service was great. Food was average and place is an echo chamber.
