I really wanted this place to be good. It had sent out all the "right messages" about innovative Mexican food. Sadly it was simply a bust: indifferent quality, sloppy service, and frankly, inferior ingredients. I have had better fish tacos served from a truck. Quesadillas were tasteless. The mole sauce was decent, but served alongside were over cooked, nasty greens.... More

The food is creative and always delicious; however, the servers are not always the most attentive. Back patio is great for a sunny day, and the small party room/shed is functional for a larger group.

We enjoyed another delicious dinner at Dona Tomas. They change the menu up a little from time to time so it's always good to return and try something new. This time I had mole chicken enchiladas with plantains. It was delicious. I'll be back again soon.

We had a wonderful dinner here. It was fun to sit in a cozy corner by the window. The food was fantastic, and the service very good. It's easy to be enthusiastic about the excellent quality of this fine restaurant. Hope to go again sometime!

Used to be a fan, own their cookbook. The staff have a lot of attitude , you'd think they were Le Bernadin !! When you treat your regular customers rudely... Bye. Try Tamarindo for a place owned and run by real Mexicans!!

food, service and neighborhood are awesome. Mexican food like you've never had before! yummy yum yum yum super duper yummy. really, that's the bottom line.

The interpretation and preparation of Mexican inspired food is off the charts. You've never tasted a Chile Relleno like this I promise. Add to that excellent and friendly waitstaff, and it's a winner all around. Can't wait to go back

Been eating here since they opened. Very good food. Incredible cocktails. They helped pioneer the restaurant scene in the Temescal district of Oakland as will as in the uptown area (with Flora.)
