Read MoreWe visited Don Sal Cocina on a Friday evening for dinner. There were three in our party: me, my wife, and my teenage granddaughter. We purposely arrived a little early for dinner, about 4:30, so that we could avoid the weekend crowd.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a pleasant hostess who asked if we preferred a table or a booth. We chose a table. She cheerfully accommodated our preference, but advised us that the tables are cleared off in about three hours so that the area could be used as a dance floor. I assured her that we intended to be finished with our dinner within the three hour time limit. We both smiled at the absurd thought that my wife and I, senior citizens eating during "early bird" hours, would actually commandeer a dining table for more than three hours and interrupt the evening's dance event.
We were escorted to our table and in a short time chips, salsa, and bean dip were set before us. We dug in immediately. The chips were nice and crunchy with just enough salt. The red salsa was full of flavor and the bean dip was good as well.
Our food server came to our table within a couple minutes to take our order. As we placed our orders, he carefully explained the basic ingredients of the dish and accommodated any requests to omit certain ingredients from the entree. (My wife is notorious for always asking that her food not include tomatoes, onions, or sour cream.)
There were many specialty items to choose from, all of which looked great and were quite tempting. However, we played it rather safe, with my wife and I getting "combo" meals and my granddaughter ordering a beef Ranchero burrito. My wife's combo included a beef taco with a cheese enchilada. She really enjoyed it and let me have a taste of her taco. The taco was stuffed with meat, and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. My combo included a carnitas taco and a shrimp enchilada. Again, a generous portion of chunky meat was on the taco and it was tasty and tender. The shrimp enchilada contained shrimp in every bite and the sauce that came on the enchilada complimented the shrimp without overpowering it. My granddaughter really enjoyed her burrito but did not offer to share a bite with me, so I'll have to take her word for it.
Our service was good and the interior of the restaurant is inviting with high ceilings and lots of rustic wood. We ended up quite full and satisfied, and beat our three hour time limit by two full hours. Let the dancing begin! We all enjoyed the experience and look forward to returning again someday to try something new.
