For my first time here, this place was a great experience. Service was top notch even during a Sunday rush hour. Food was great. I definitely will be coming back here, I'm just mad at myself for not finding it earlier.

Always great food. Usually great service. Wasn't the usual best this time but food and drinks were still worth it

Arrived during busy lunch hour. Still had adequate seating inside. A young man brought us chips and salsa. He also took our drink order. Enjoyed the chips and salsa while waiting for the waitress to take our order. Beef burrito lunch special tasted good and was filling. We have been here before and will be again.
Thomas Correa
Very busy place. Great customer service. The food was excellent. Good amount of food for the dollar. They also have outdoor seating. We drive to Stockton from Sacramento to enjoy the great food. Highly recommend

My mom's work had her retirement lunch here last week. Very happy with the service, the outdoor patio area, and the food. Definitely a hidden gem off the freeway. Parking lot and street parking available. Wheel chair ramp up to the front door. Margaritas were pretty good too!

Best place to get a taco salad and it's big and fresh ingredients all the time. I drive 30 minutes just to get this because everywhere I tried was either small and expensive or the Taco shell was not crunchy or fresh and not enough meat inside for the price I'm paying for even though everything has gone up since the pandemic. And the Customer service is ALWAYS Excellent!!!

The people I went there with love it. They appreciate food differently than I do, So I'm going to add a little bit of their ideas to my review. They love their tacos. I got a Steak ALa Chicano. That was pretty good, not great. I wouldn't order it again, but I will definitely eat there again.

From the outside you would probably think to yourself ehh doesn’t look to good probably barely good. From a Mexican who was brought up on authentic Mexican food Don Luis is hands down one of the best restaurants in the area. The price is not to bad at all for the portions/ flavor both very good. My favorite plate to get is the #3 it gives you a very good variety for the price. On Mother’s Day we were going to another restaurant that ended up having an hour wait. Thankfully Don Luis was open and had so many tables open in the back for people to choose from not for the lack of people sitting and enjoying food b because they had an big open back patio that for a lot of family’s. Definitely gained a new regular!!!

A group of us (15)went after work for the first time. The place was packed. Food was delicious, customer service was great we all sat together in the patio area had some drinks. The only thing I had an issue with was that after 6 guests you only get one check.
Joshua Pollock
Great food and service! The Torta Cubana lived up to the hype. We split it and still were unable to finish it. We will be back to try the fajitas I've heard good things about!
Shannon Rayborn
Awesome drinks and food. Great vibe in here. We love family restaurants and this one delivered!
Melissa
My menudo was 🔥. It was perfectly cooked. The meat was so tender and so was the hominy. It has a lil bit of a spicy bite. Mmm, so good. Our server was a bit rude, I think he mistook me telling my friend something as me rushing him to take our order when he was at the table next to us. Of he had been listening properly he would have known that I was talking about ordering something else. Then I think he would have served us better. Because we got impeccable service last time & they were busier than today.

Chris Cartwright
This place is always good, never had a bad meal here. The salsa is really good, and the house beans are legit! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, very good restaurant.
Austin-Hans Adams
Fantastic food, great ambiance, and decent prices. I had the Tehmoc's chipotle fusion, and it ranks as one of the top ten Mexican food meals I've ever eaten!! Will be going back often.
King Green

Brenda Marquez
Food was amazing.. The atmosphere was amazing.. We were cooled down with their outside fans and misters.. This was Friday. 106* heat and my kids were loving it.. Best family experience I have had in a long time. THANK YOU ALEXANDRIA AND ALL DON LUIS STAFF
Fabian Garcia
The best Mexican restaurant in town ...
James Butler
Food good and service was excellent.
Tricia Mcconnell
Wonderful food
Jim Her
Great place to eat authentic Mexican food and American food. Prices are a good deal. Foods enough to fill you up. I went there and bought a super burrito. Let's just say, I only ate half and was full.
James Speck
This is a one of a kind Mexican restaurant. Very large menu and it is different than most places. Food is very very good. Staff is always friendly and they have a good bar too.
KARRI Johnson
This is my guys favorite spot. We also love the outdoor seating. The only thing I could say is please have all the heaters working next time.
Elsa Palacios
Food was good but service was bad. Took 15 minutes to get my drink when the rest of the party got it right away. T requested catsup and salsa 4 times.
Mike Gomez
I've lived in the area for most of my life and I went here for the first time. It was really good. I asked the people close to me if they've ever been here, and everyone said they have and that it's really good. Where the hell was I this whole time and why didn't anyone clue me into this place years ago?! Lol. I had their tamale lunch special and a Bloody Mary. Food was amazing and the drink was yummy too. Definitely coming back soon.
Nick Marquez
Food is good! Staff is friendly! Nice out door seating! I like this spot! Portions are a good size too! Most try if you're in town and or driving through
Pamela A Goodwin
My friends and I have been here twice for lunch and it is nice that they have opened up indoor dining. We were able to come here and get a table for four people with no wait. We chose the outside dining because they had the heating lamps near the tables.
Cristina Leyva
I was doing car shopping and was hungry. I looked for restaurants and their reviews. This restaurant is really good. No wonder it has great reviews. Food was tasty and great prices. Definitely going back whenever we are in town.
Monica Esparza
One of my favorite places to go. You will never be disappointed. The drinks and food are delicious. I come at least 2 to 3 times a month. Great service. Patio and indoor dinning. There's heating lamps outside if it's too cold and water misters if it's too hot. Great place for the whole family.
Lee Canady
Beautiful outdoor patio area Service was ok. Food was good. My chicken wasn't cut inside my taco. I had to cut it myself and rebuild the taco. I had to remind the waiter for my side order of sour cream. We had to ask for silverware too. After we were done with our meals, the waiter did not take our plates before giving us the bill. Even after we paid the bill and the waiter took it, he did not take away our plates. I saw other dirty plates left on tables. I would go back for the outdoor area eating experience.

Don Luis rocks the Mexican food scene! This is definitely our "go-to" and our favorite Mexican food restaurant. Everything is made from scratch. We really love the brown gravy! Gravy and cheese to dip your chips! Great chicken tacos...probably beef too, but I only order the chicken. Fresh, hot house-made tortillas! Friendly and efficient wait staff!

Great food. Lots of options. Big portions. Good vibes. Good service. Small eatery. 4 stars for long wait time to receive food. Went on a Tuesday night and it was very busy.
Brent Lamb
The food was pretty good and the service was fine as well. The big problem here is the cleanliness of the place. When you walk up you are met with a very dirty glass door and it just goes down hill from there. When you enter, the wall to the right if very beat up. It has no baseboard and the seetrock is missing all over along the bottom of the wall. The bathroom shows that no one has cared to clean in a very long time. Take a look at the pictures. What a difference some upkeep could make to this place! 3 stars because of the food being pretty good. Otherwise find another place.

I'm from Southern California, and came out to live in Northern California. And this has been the best spot for authentic Mexican Food! 👌 the drive was worth my time.

Nov. 6, 2921 Update: Stop by to get some takeout. Friday night. They were slammed! Only one empty table. But this week they had plenty of help. Everything seem to be going smoothly. My order was correct. Delicious as always! This is our local go to spot for good Mexican food! Oct. 25, 2021 Update: We have had great service and good food consistently here over the past few years. Tonight they were slammed. The parking lot was completely full and there was only one table open when we walked in. But tonight the food was no bueno! I ate half of my meal and left the rest on the table. A full house and only two servers working their butts off. You could tell there was a lot of stress between the servers. At least one large party at a long table. They were not happy either. Why did this happen? Where is the owner/manager? Our server did the best she could to keep up with things. My taco was a limp mess with dry pieces of chicken. The gravy was not on point. Not a good experience tonight! Will try a few other local Mexican restaurants before we come back here. ……………..

We loved this place! The food and service is great. We arrived around 11am and the place was full, a good sign. A friend recommended this restaurant based on food and drinks. I had a draft Modelo beer. I will be back. This may bee my new go-to.
