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.

Si te preguntas por qué ves diferentes camareras cada dos semanas, es porque maltrata a su personal y reduce sus propinas y su salario.

Todo iba bien, pero llegamos a las 8:00 y a las 10: 00 no nos habían servido. Parece ser q habían perdido nuestra comanda. Uno de nuestros amigos decidió no comer, se le había quitado el hambre. Por lo demás la comida excelente y el ambiete tb.
No nos dieron compensación por la demora…
