Top Reviews of Spotted Donkey Cantina

review_stars 06/01/2025 - Tay K.
The Mexican food here is uniquely prepared and consistently delicious, with appetizers like the guacamole and cantina shooters standing out, and the margaritas are truly excellent. The atmosphere is pleasant, especially with a view of the Arizona sunset, and the staff provides attentive and friendly service even when busy. While chips and salsa come with an extra charge, the quality of the food and drinks, along with the overall experience, makes it worth returning.
