After looking at a couple of places that we considered and saw all the reviews, we hit on this restaurant and were SO glad we did! Chips and salsa were so packed with flavor. The food portions were delicious and huge! We took 1/2 of both dishes home and had a second meal. Topped it off with a Sopaipilla dessert that was amazing! We’ll definitely be going back and we pointed some friends going out for their 30th anniversary to have dinner here. They loved it! The prices were very reasonable too! I had the stuffed sopaipilla and my wife had the veggie fajitas! (Soooo goooood!!!)"

Our order came out surprisingly quick! The food was tasty. The portion was huge! Plus we got complimentary chips and salsa. I must recommend Don Diego’s. Even though they were busy, they provided fantastic service and quality."
