Great spot for lunch.
The prices are very reasonable at I think it is 11 dollars now. I particularly like the baby lamb chops and the churasco steak. Lunch comes with a dessert and coffee. Their flan and rice pudding are both delicious as well.
Service has always been fine, although I do only go for lunch when there are not a lot of other customers so I cannot speak for busy dinner hours. -

I can barely remember the food because the service is so horrible. Went here to take advantage of their lunch special. The prices were pretty decent from what I recall.
The waiter was rude and at the end of the meal he brought us the wrong check. The check had items on it that we obviously hadn't ordered like a pitcher of sangria. I feel like it would have been an easy mistake to rectify.
He treated us with suspicion and left. When the waiter finally reemerged he handed me a new check that also appeared to be wrong. As I started to bring this to the attention of others at my table, the waiter came flying out of no where exclaiming that there was nothing wrong with the bill.
The items on it weren't what we ordered. He said that all the lunch special prices were the same so it didn't matter what the "items" were called. I think you can see why I assumed that the second bill was incorrect . . . since the first one actually did have items on it we didn't order.
In general, I just think that this place is past it's prime. It looks like it belongs in the seventies. -

I love spanish food.. it's hearty, tons of big flavor, and big portions.
Nothing light on the menu, so beat it if you're on a diet.
The steaks are huge and tasty and cooked just right. The fish is delicate but w/tasty sauces like champange sauce, or garlicy lemon. The seafood is really really good. Lots of different seafood to choose from.
Some of my favorite dishes: veal, lobster, paella, skirt steak, filet mignon. You can't really go wrong here.
All dishes come w/savory yellow spanish rice and fresh home made potato chips. Think that's weird? wait till you try the all together.
I love their early bird dinner specials.. a page long menu of different items all priced at $15.95 and comes w/a glass of wine/sangria/soda, soup/salad, chips and rice and flan and coffee for dessert! They don't hold out either, you can choose from 1 and 1/4 lb lobster stuffed w/crab meat, veal, scallops, pork chops, sole, or even crab stuffed sole WITH lobster! Want two lobsters? only pay $2 more.
Some cons:
the parking lot is so damn small.. yes, there's valet.. but geez, the crowded parking lot is annoying to maneuver out of.
Something is just wrong w/their soft drinks.. they taste absolutely gross.. no matter what you order.
When they're over crowded, they don't manage well. There were like 4 holiday parties going on at the same time. Insanely loud, and they're continually maneuvering around you to accomodate everyone.. it kinda makes your meal a little stressful. -

Don Quiojote offers super fantastic lunch prix-fixe for $8!! It comes with an appetizer, main course, and a flan!! I've been here many times and I totally recommend this place if you want a cheap and decent lunch with a nice ambiance.Their churrasco is pretty good, I can't believe they serve this much food for only $8.... the value for the meal is amazing!!!!
Also there is a banquet room which is useful for an economical wedding reception party(I've attended one!). It can probably fit about 100 people.Listed in: Prix-Fixe it up!, ¡A por ellos!

I came with my girlfriend and her family for lunch and believe me when I say the skirt steak is flavorful, soft and juicy. You get a nice order chips of potato and a nice helping of yellow rice.
Make sure to try the white sangria. A perfect compliment to the steak. -

The waitstaff seems to care less if you're there or not. And the food dishes were undistinguished and meats overcooked.
