Brussel sprout tacos... the best taco in GR! Margaritas are amazing, as is the guacamole! Service is ok; long waits, quickly served when seated but seems rushed. I have been here more than 20 times & have the same experience!

Amazing margaritas and tacos. My wife and I have been long time fans. One complaint: removing the barbacoa tacos is CRAZY... please bring them back!

5!!! This place and food is unlike any other. We drive over an hour each week to enjoy a meal. The staff, tacos , salad, unbelievable. Best fish tacos and the Barbacoa are a must. Save room for the made from scratch churros. All served by a top notch staff. Our favorite

Great place! Absolutely adorable setting especially outside patio. I'll be moving to the area from Chicago and definitely gave me the fun neighborhood vibes we left behind. Some service was a tad slow for it to be mid afternoon on a Friday but it was busy so not a bad problem to have! Friendly staff. Still not THE BEST carne asada tacos I've ever had but still a solid choice.

Donkey is one of those spots that becomes a staple in your monthly rotation, from the guac, the family style eating, to the style of the restaurant itself, Donkey brings it all to the table. I love the casual taqueria vibe, mixed in with a little upscale feel. The margarita price can hit you where it hurts, but the price of a modelo and a taco will ease the pain.

I definitely don't frequent Donkey as much as I used to back when they first opened and I lived in the neighborhood, but I still have good experiences when I do stop in. My most recent visit was for a get together in one of their igloos, which was fun and quite toasty. A reservation is needed for the igloos as well as a booking fee of $10 per hour for a two hour reservation. An additional $1 fee is included when booking online as well. The igloos can seat up to eight people but I think that would be pretty cozy. We had five in our group and it was comfortable. The igloos include at least one electric heater as well as a fun loteria game (bingo) and some candies. Be sure to bring a blanket and bundle up in cold weather! The menu includes tacos, tortas and a burrito, a couple desserts, and botanas (or "snacks"). The tacos I've tried are all really delicious but my favorites are the carnitas, bruselas, and pastor. Be sure to remember which ones you order, because they're served family style on one plate. They will point out which ones are which, but if you've made any modifications it can get a little trickier. On that note, our server was great at handling requested modifications and clarified about allergies vs. preferences which was thoughtful. On my last visit I got the ensalada central (romaine, avocado, queso fresco, cilantro, seasonal roasted vegetables, macha corn, pepitas, and carrot-morita vinaigrette) and added carnitas. The salad was super fresh and really tasty, with some great textures and flavors. It was a generous portion so I had leftovers to take home. Donkey is known for their flavorful margaritas, including their prickly pear and spicy options. Some can be ordered without alcohol and they also have beer, wine, and a full bar. Pitchers of margaritas are available to order if you have a group - I remember plenty of sunny patio days at Donkey having a pitcher of margs with friends! Speaking of patios, theirs is super popular so get there early on those sunny summer days as they don't usually take reservations for regular (non-igloo) seating. Brunch is available on the weekends, and they have Donkey hour (happy hour) Monday through Thursday, 2-5 pm. Donkey is a fun spot for some twists on street tacos and a great place to gather with friends or for a date night. Parking in the area can be a bit of a challenge so be prepared to find street parking.
