Don Taco

Y'all. Go. Go here. Right now. You will NOT regret it!!I have a list of new places in Lex that I want to try this summer and this was on it. I was going to Trader Joe's and this was super close so I stopped by. It's in the shopping center with Clothes Mentor and Plato's Closet on Nich Road.I am in my taco era right now eating them once a day probably 5 days a week. The parking lot in front was packed so when I walked in to absolutely no one in the restaurant I was shocked. A very kind server named Fabiola sat me at a table and took my order. They didn't automatically bring out chips and salsa like most Mexican restaurants, she asked if I wanted them. I ordered a water, a Baja fish taco, and a Baja shrimp taco. The tacos have in-house made fresh tortillas, and they were DELICIOUS. The shrimp and fish were clearly cooked to order. They came with a mild green sauce and then a hotter sauce, neither were my cup of tea but I can see how they would be good to others. I'm just a salsa girl. The chips and salsa were very good. I couldn't tell if the chips were also in-house made, they tasted better than typical Mexican restaurant chips, and were perfectly salted. The salsa was just right, and I'm a salsa snob.Ambiance = 5/5 'sFood = 5/5 'sService = 5/5 'sI can't figure out why this place was empty. The prices weren't high, the food was delicious, service was on point, location is great. Only thing I can think is that no one really knows about it? Fabiola said they had only been open for 6 months, so maybe it's not well known.But I HIGHLY recommend, and I will DEFINITELY be going back!!

Went to the new La Dona in Zandale for breakfast. Cute little redo. Ordered the Chilaquiles, a dish I discovered in Cabo years ago and loved. This version was a bit different. You could choose chicken or steak. I chose steak, but why not Chorizo. I suggested it to the waiter, and he promptly told the chef. The steak was just a thin cut piece, quite unnecessary to the dish. There was one egg. I asked for it over easy. Halfway through, the waiter said it comes with a side of fruit or potatoes. OK, Potatoes. also not necessary to the dish. Parmenter, with bacon, onions and red pepper. The main part of the dish was good. The rice was eh. Definitely not the best Chilaquiles I've had, and wouldn't order again. But will certainly be back at some point for lunch. Super nice staff.91

We don't have enough authentic Mexican restaurants in Lexington, this is hands down one of the best we've been to! From the craft drinks to the ceviche to the cactus/flank steak dish and Barbacoa street tacos, they did not disappoint! Will definitely return!

Amazing food. And great customer service with variety of options. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends and will come back.

food was dry service was good not so tasty and I was hungry. Maybe just an off day for them I'm not picky

The food here is delicious!! Everything came out in a timely manner and the meals come with chips and salsa. A worker even gave me a free margarita to try!! Super nice atmosphere. Will be back.

Was crestfallen when Taco Time went out of business; fortunately La Dona is a worthy successor with even better decor. Sopes and burrito were terrific, as are the tacos. Service friendly and fast. Delicious restaurant and hope it thrives for years to come!

Food was amazing, the place is trendy, breakfast selection is fantastic, service is wonderful, staff is friendly, this is a new place you must try if you live in or around Lexington!
