Review Summary

Don Tamal is widely praised for its authentic Cuban vibe, generous portions and delicious tamales, with many customers noting that a single plate can be quite filling and the prices offer good value. The atmosphere is described as lively and welcoming, enhanced by Latin music, colorful decor and friendly, attentive staff, and some reviews mention entertaining live performances. While the overall experience is positive, a few diners point to issues such as occasional long wait times, order mixups, items being unavailable, and sometimes salty flavors; several mention that the music volume can be loud for conversation. Dishes like ropa vieja, croquetas and tostones receive high marks, as do the mojito and margarita, and some guests even highlight a Cuban pizza and other flavorful options. Most reviews say they would return to try more of the menu, noting the sense of being immersed in Cuban culture and a memorable dining experience.

Excelente restaurante y servicio!
Me pedí unas croquetas y una pizza que estaban deliciosas y me recordaron a mi bella tierra Cuba, también probé la ropa vieja que mi pareja se pidió y también suuuper rica, jugosa y con mucho sabor. Con un plato te llenas, así de satisfecho te deja la comida de Don Tamal. El dueno y los empleados son super amables, muchísimas gracias a Don tamal por ser tan maravillosos

A wonderful place to hang out, extremely clean & with a very Latin atmosphere, perfect for enjoying good Cuban & Colombian food, with Latin music shows in the evenings. The food quality is spectacular, & the service & staff are magnificent. I highly recommend it; I would come back again & again.

If you're looking for something different that will not cost you a arm & a leg & experience a real cuban vibe then i strongly recommend! Staff are super friendly & all latino origin which makes you wonder if you are actually on vacation! Try the margarita & the mojito! think it's the best i had!!
