    Trash 🗑.... the drinks were bad we paid for alcohol and got juice . We ordered beef enchiladas and got chicken (that was dry and cold). The queso was flavorless, and the rice tasted like it was microwaved. Our leftovers ended up in the trash when we got home. Will not be back.

    I love coming here for lunch. I got this meal for under 10$ with a water to drink. I’m sure a soda would push it over 10. Anyway still a good deal. A tropical plate is always a tasty and refreshing meal for those shrimp lovers out there. Good service and great food. I’ve been here several times and never had a real issue and always have had a responsive wait staff.

    We have never been to this chain restaurant before, but an hour and 15 minute wait at another place was out of the question. We were greeted and seated right away. Really enjoyed the salsa, and our waiter Martin was very nice and quite attentive. We enjoyed our meals and we tried a huge burrito, tilapia, and the essential fajitas.(chicken steak and chorizo) The portions were nice sized, the restaurant was lively and clean, and we will definitely be back.

    When you have friends come from out of town and you want to meet in a larger group safer you meet on the Don Sol Mexican Grill - Carbondale patio. And maybe have flan as an appetizer and large horchatas for everyone with maybe a shot of rum in it And get the Comal (5 types of meat) which with a couple orders of tortillas is enough for 3 hungry people

    I don't think that I will be going back to this place. I've been there many times, but the last few times have been very disappointing. Their prices for the portions are a little out of hand. I just went there and there was a piece of metal in my food, even though they did replace the food that the object was found in, my server was very inattentive and when I asked for something simple like more salsa I didn't get it and I ended up just having to leave.

    Friendly employees, good prices, and really good food. Sat outside, and it was beautiful out, was a great experience. The food came out quick, and was excellent. Always enjoy sitting outs,and enjoying good food with my girlfriend. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Pretty run of the mill Mexican restaurant. Food was well prepared but was pretty salty. I enjoyed that they offered while roasted peppers instead of just sliced. The pitcher of margaritas was a pretty good value for the price and the wait staff were very friendly and accommodating to my group. Overall had a good experience.

    Passing through, stopped here to enjoy dinner. Food and service was good. Menu options are unique, offering some nice plates to choose from. I had the don sol fajitas, she had the mini tacos, he had the chimichanga The top shelf margs were ok, nothing to crazy. We’d come back again if we’re in the area. Hope you enjoy

    Was weary about trying a new dish as I always get a fajita Taco salad at Mexican restaurants. This time I tried a shrimp enchiladas and it was AMAZING. I ordered a long Island and it was too strong so they took it back and replaced the drink and didn't charge me for the first. Great wait staff. Very deserving of the 20 dollar tip and if i had more I would have left it!

    We always have an excellent experience here. Wonderful service, food is out fairly quickly and they always get our order right.

    The margaritas taste like they came out of a can, room temp and tasted terrible. The burrito I ordered didn’t have anything in it other than 10 shrimp, they forgot to add the veggies and rice and beans that was listed in the menu. I was served a tortilla with 10 shrimp in it. Disappointing and not even close to Mexican food
