Don Luis Méxican Restaurant -Food CA (Near Ione)

Bari Busby We got sandwiches, soup and cookies. All of them were excellent. The bill was 48 bucks, which seems a tad high.

David Won Great place to visit with friends and family. Bustling vibe and a lot of great food options. Good mix of restaurants, drinks and desserts. There is a nice open area across from the building where we let the kids run around after dinner. Parking can be challenging during busy times so we often park a couple blocks away in the neighborhood. Sometimes we get lucky and get street parking right next to the building. There is a lot of communal seating both upstairs and downstairs but best for parties of 4 or less. Bigger tables are downstairs. They have a couple bench swings and large cushioned benches if you just need a seat. We had a large party (13) and was able to sit outside on the front patio, which had large tables (probably empty because no alcohol is allowed outside). Can be a bit loud as the front patio overlooks the parking lot. Food options are great. We had soul food, smash burgers, ramen, Indian and beers from various restaurants. Most of the resultants have dedicated seating but we like to get food from various places when we visit (some places give you a pager, others will text or call your cell when food is ready). Kids loved walking around to see all the different places to eat.

Aaliyah S We visited this spot in the evening, about 30–45 minutes before closing at 10 PM, right off the Santa Monica Pier. The service was excellent the staff was very friendly without being intrusive. I loved the unique ordering system with the Forrest Gump flip sign it’s a fun touch and helps servers know when you’re ready. The food was absolutely fabulous. We had the chicken, which was tender and flavorful, and our salad was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We’ve also eaten at their L.A./Universal location, which was equally impressive. Overall, great service, great food, and a welcoming environment I’ll definitely be coming back!

Jes Meda Wife and I regularly go here for some excellent selections of tapas and always the Caesars salad. Great Happy Hour prices and the tasty food never disappoints. Gil always provides excellent service at the bar and we regularly meet very nice people also enjoying the food and drinks at the bar. House guacamole is fresh and I enjoy the cazuelita de costilla de res and always the cazuelita de gambas. Hector also provides great and friendly service at the bar. We enjoy the Paoloni Sangiovese Grosso with our tapas...

Yash Patel Had a great experience at Frankie in the Bay Area! I hadn’t had Frankie’s in a long, long time, and this visit really brought back the flavors I missed. I ordered the chilli paneer Frankie and the noodle Frankie, and both were extremely good. The wraps were fresh, flavourful, and perfectly spiced. Every bite was satisfying and nostalgic. If you’re craving good Frankie’s, this place definitely delivers. Will absolutely be back again!

Jeff Ho We finally made it to Lazy Dog after talking about going for so long. The challenge is, there are so many other good familiar restaurants in this plaza like Benihana, BJs CA Fish Grill or Armadillo Willies. The restaurant was full at 7:30pm with a wait of 30 minutes for a table of 3. The menu is extensive. We had two items from their $15 menu which includes an entree and a brownie ice cream. Those tasted OK, a bacon cheeseburger and 1/2 fried chicken dinner. The fish and chips $24 had generous pieces of fish. The nachos with carnitas $18.50 was also OK. The food came out fairly quickly for a busy kitchen. Our waitress checked on us often. Overall, great job everyone at Lazy Dog. It was a fun and lively meal with TVs all around to watch some Friday night hockey.
