Came here on a monday night and there was a wait but no hostess was taking names, people would just come in and write their names down themselves. There were several large groups, our first poor waitress looked very tired. This place was severely understaffed and service was slow. There didn’t seem to be any sort of manager around either, just the bartender and two waiters dealing with a full restaurant. The queso was good but a palty amount for /$9/. The two tacos my dad ordered for $4.50 each were more like mini tacos. I got the mild red sauce on my enchiladas and it was spicy-ish, but the enchiladas themselves were so good (just dont expect them to be like Tex-mex enchiladas that are smothered in cheese). Our second waiter Chris was nice but just as overwhelmed. Wouldn’t recommend this place when its busy, also the margarita prices are through the roof so maybe come during happy hour.

Fun, relaxed, warm atmosphere. This place is a locals favorite, family owned (2 sisters) since the 90s. They we’re able to accommodate our group of 9.

Solid Mexican option in CB. Sat by the fireplace which was nice. We both really enjoyed the food, the blue corn enchiladas special was really good. Margaritas were strong and refilled as soon as they got low. Overall very good and the price was decent for the quality of food and service.

I have eaten at Donita’s over 35 years and Tom the chef is becoming better and better!! His specials are so amazing and great. Had the most fantastic dinner special there 2 weeks ago with some of my best girlfriends. I like to eat early and they open at 5:30. They are now serving two different type of chips with salsa as an appetizer before you get your meal. I have always enjoyed the good food there

I really like this place. Good margarita’s and fantastic and friendly service. Might not be the best Mexican food you ever had but still very decent. Prices are reasonable too. AND, me and my husband LOVE their sopapillas! We make a point to stop there when we are in CB.

Really nice personal experience sharing photos and stories with our server. She went above and beyond with great vegetarian suggestions for us. They care a lot about all of the various dietary restrictions (gluten, etc). Not that we have those issues…but, it was just mentioned in conversation. Super friendly spot!

The wait staff was friendly. They were late opening the restaurant. Food was not very good. I was taken aback by the fact that there was salsa laying out on all the tables when it opened. I had a green chili bowl and my husband had a rellano and enchilada. We were very disappointed in the lack of flavor in the food. Not authentic Mexican food. However, it was a very friendly atmosphere.

We have to give 5 stars to the wait staff. They were very helpful and attentive. The food however was absolutely horrible!!! The guacamole was so tangy with lime juice that it gave you pucker power. You could not taste avocado at all. I had a shredded beef chimichanga with rice and pinto beans. The food was absolutely not edible for me and it was also cold. My spouse had the chicken enchilada and chili relleno with rice and beans. Again the food was cold. She ate everything because she was very hungry but paid the price by spending the rest of the night with a stomach ache and many trips to the bathroom. We paid $45.00 for both of us to hate this restaurant.

Donita’s wasn’t exactly what I hoped it would be but it did get better as the night progressed. Their happy hour margs and offering of cobbler are what drew me in even though I decided to hold off on the alcohol come time to visit.
