Very nice atmosphere with plenty of seating and clean interior. Staff was very welcoming, responsive, and polite.Tried the chorizo quesadilla, choriqueso dip, and the birria sopes. All had very fresh ingredients. The tortillas are definitely handmade. Chorizo wasn't as spicy as I would want or expect (none of the smokey heat I'm used to with chorizo dishes). It also made every dish it was in very oily. The queso was pretty good besides that but could definitely be a bit thicker. Sopes was very good. Meat was tender and flavorful. Quesadilla is big enough to last AT LEAST two meals.Overall, great portions for the money but could use a bit more spice and less oil.

I grew up eating authentic Mexican food, Don Taco is the most authentic I have found (so far) in The Shoals.Service is always good and feels genuine and relaxed (seems everyone working here is pretty happy).Prices are good but, with a few beers or Margaitas, can add up (just like anywhere).

Service could've been a little better, had no drink refills, and had to wait around for the check while the server played on her phone, but the food was good.
This had to be the worst "Mexican" food we ever ate. A friend and I went there for lunch. She ordered the pork tacos...the pork was dried out & very hard. I ordered a chicken taco and hamburger taco with hard shell. The chicken had no taste, dried out & barely warm in a flour tortilla 1/2 the size of a taco. The hamburger meat had no taste an dried out, tasted terrible. We will never go back there!!

This place is consistently good. We’ve ordered all over the menu. The tacos authentic style are the best! We’ve had birria, carnitas and chicken. We’ve also had the taquitos, the soup, the the ceviche and it was all fabulous. The margaritas are good and quite pretty in presentation.

We've been twice and are going back tonight! The only complaint I have is the amount of oil on the tacos/meat. It's delicious regardless.Dietary restrictions: Mexican is always a great option for gluten intolerances!
We have been here a few times now. Great casual atmosphere. Tortillas are home made. Service is always fast and friendly. We needed some authentic Mexican food in Florence and Don Taco never disappoints!

My pulled pork taco was greasy/slimy and was big chunks, too big to eat too tough to bite through. Didn’t even eat it. The shrimp taco was ok but not much flavor. Just go to Shoals Shack people.
