Good food. Gross restaurant 9/11/2010

This place has pretty ok food and they have the best green sauce. The restaurant itself is disgusting and that is the main reason I don't go there that much. When you walk in, you walk right into the bar and it smells HORRIBLE, like stale beer. The bar also gets extremely packed, so it's horrible to have to get through a group of bumbling drunks just to get to the hostess. more

BEST PLACE IN HOUSTON AREA! 2/8/2010

We have been going to Don'key for years! Its a great place with food and service. Cheap prices and always friends faces! ya its small but well worth the wait on a busy friday night! Johnny is our server and is one of the reasons we come in multiiple times of the week! So if you want good cheap eats and a good server to go with go to Don'key and ask for Johnny! Pros: Great food and service! Cons: Nothing negative! more

SO Good!!! 9/25/2009

Ask for Natalie! She was THE BEST waitress! Food was awesome. Tortillas were HOMEMADE. That makes a big difference. Margaritas are STRONG and GOOD! I will be eating here again soon! Pros: Wait staff and food more

I USED TO WORK HERE... 1/30/2009

I GUESS THIS PLACE IS GOOD IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENE. IT'S BEEN SHUT DOWN A FEW TIMES FOR HEALTH ISSUES.EVERY MORNING IT WAS LIKE A GAME TO SEE WHO COULD FIND AND SMASH THE MOST LITTLE BROWN INSECTES (YOU CAN'T USE THE ""R"" WORD ON HERE). THERE WERE RODENTS THAT WOULD BE IN THE BACK BECAUSE IT WAS SO DIRTY BACK THERE. Pros: IT'S GOOD IF YOU WANT TO GET DRUNK.THEY SERVE UNDERAGE PEOPLE Cons: SO DIRTY! more

An Institution!!! 12/20/2007

The Don'Key never stops being an ultimate favorite for me and my friends. Yeah the place is a little dumpy, but it is what it is. And in my opinion it's some of the best TexMex Houston has to offer. I have to agree with another review and let you know it is, in fact, worth the drive. I've never gone wrong with the Fajitas, you have to try the Half & Half Margaritas....they are $1.99 during happy hour! Just watch yourself, if you throw back a couple of those too fast, you'll be calling a cab! Pros: Great food, rediculously good Margaritas, they make you feel like you're at home! Cons: Parking lot is small, pot-holed, Small dining area more

Worth the Drive! 11/10/2007

I had been hearing about this place for years and finally got chance to try it out for lunch yesterday.. Pros: Combo Platters,Fresh Salsa, Refried Beans Cons: Parking lot looks like they have been testing missles more

Great place to eat! 6/28/2007

This place looks like a dump, but on purpose. It's part of the ambiance that if you're not expecting, might throw you off a little. Usually packed on the weekends, get there early or expect to wait. Ritas are good but get the small one instead of the large because for the little bit more you get, it's not worth the extra $$. The fajitas are great & the tortillas are made fresh, all day. The service is excellent. The enchiladas are outstanding and the sauces are good. This is a great place to get together with friends, celebrate anything. It's always a good time, good food and good service. You can't go wrong. Pros: Service is always outstanding; fun place to be & good food! Cons: Small place; usually a wait in the evenings. Parking. more
