Good but not great. The atmosphere is warm, almost festive when you walk in. They serve complimentary chips and salsas that are warm and crispy...very nice. And my food was good -- shrimp with rice and sauteed veggies-- but could have been better. It was described, for example, as covered with cheese sauce. There was hardly any cheese sauce on it, which would have taken it up a notch. The taco salad was also just okay although we liked that the tortilla shell was thin and crispy. Great music playing on the sound system, though.

We went to this restaurant for lunch and found it to be family friendly with excellent service and a wonderful menu. The guacamole was exceptionally tasty. It is also very reasonably priced for the family budget.

The only restaurant you can walk to if you are staying at the nearby Days Inn, Quality Suites or Howard Johnson. The food was good. Fresh ingredients. Our waiter accommodated my wifeâs vegetarian request. The problem I had was with the overall cleanliness...our booth had a big tear in the leatherette, the menus and cutlery were sticky (probably from the tasty queso cheese dip they serve with the warm tortilla chips...yummy).

Dining at the Marketplace is perfect if you want to grab something to go or if you want to sit and enjoy a meal. It is welcoming to all diets with a fresh salad bar, sandwich creation station, vegetarian and vegan dishes, along with an entire gluten free section. You can also count on the Marketplace for perfect pizza and pasta with daily changing creative toppings and sauces, but with plain options always available. Two types of soups are also an option everyday starting at 11 am. Breakfast is excellent on the weekdays with eggs and a rotation of breakfast meats and potatoes (best hash browns ever!) . There is also oatmeal, fruit, and avocado toast for those on the health grind. However, if you are planning on coming to the Marketplace for an extra special breakfast, I would highly recommend the weekend brunch. It is spectacular! Equipped with the usual eggs, meat, and potatoes, there is also an omelet station, french toast or some other sweet dish, and the best biscuits and gravy you will ever try. In fewer words: you can't go wrong at the Marketplace.

The visit for lunch was supposed to be a quick trip but the order taker was very slow - in fact, it was almost like he really wasn't focused. While we were waiting in line, several orders in front of us were incorrect - not what customers ordered. In fact, one man asked for his money back, the manager was called, she refunded the lunch price but to my knowledge never asked what she could do to correct the problem. We ended up with the wrong item also but decided just to let it go, took our order....will we be back? Not sure. Something is just not right at this Taco Bell?

Our family of five stopped by Don Tequila on a Saturday afternoon. We're not from the area and we had a little trouble spotting the restaurant because it's not easily visible from the road, but we eventually found it. There were a few other parties in the restaurant, but it wasn't a busy time. This is the kind of Mexican restaurant our kids love -- brightly decorated with interesting chairs, bowls of chips and salsa, and chicken fingers included in the kiddie menu. Service was excellent; our waitress was very friendly and attentive, food was served quickly, and everything we ordered was served correctly. We had to wait a bit for the bowl of chips so we weren't sure if we maybe needed to order them at first -- but we didn't, they're complimentary -- and when they arrived they tasted a little toastier than usual, but the salsa was delicious.Our food was great, and servings were very generous. My burrito included pork, and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly for my tastes. My husband's beef burrito was also delicious, and my teen's taco salad was messy but great, according to her. The chicken fingers my younger kids ordered were the best chicken fingers they've gotten from a Mexican restaurant, and the ones we took back to the hotel were even tasty straight from the fridge.If we lived here, we'd probably make Don Tequila a monthly stop. It was a great dining experience for our family.

Went on a Friday night as a couple. Chose this Mexican place over others in the area based on others' reviews on Trip Advisor but I cannot give it the same recent high rating.It was way too loud! We couldn't even hear our own conversation over all the other people talking at the top of their lungs. Very crowded that night and tight seating just made for a stressful meal. As for the food, it was just generic-tasting Mexican and nothing special. Plus the prices were higher than we're used to paying for a similar meal since we usually go to Mexican places that have coupon discounts. Between the atmosphere and the price it is not a place we will re-visit.
