Great pancakes and I enjoyed how spicy the chorizo was! Had to wait an extra 15 minutes because our food was accidentally delivered to the wrong table, and music was very loud where we were sitting.
The sign drew me in, a tequila bar with pancakes!!! I just had to try it. The pancakes were amazing and I decided what better way to have breakfast than to make my own deconstructed tequila sunrise. I did Don Julio Real Tequila, Strawberry cheesecake pancakes and a glass of orange juice. It was all amazing! Great staff and fast service for such a busy place!
Breakfast on Feb 4, 2025. Awesome sums it up. Their menu was just updated and variety abounds. Our entrees were beyond any criticism. Facility was spotless (including restrooms). We've never had any issues with any D'lua location.
I stopped by D'Lua Fusion Cuisine last Friday. Let me tell you, they never disappoint. The food was excellent as always. It’s full of authentic Mexican flavor I crave. Their Friday specials are seriously awesome. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. One thing to keep in mind: cash is still king at this spot. Bring some bills if you want to avoid card fees. It keeps you from getting charged extra. I’ve learned this trick to keep the bill low. Don’t spread that around too much. Let’s keep this gem our little secret. It’s a five-star experience every time.
Took my niece & baby cousin out for dinner & drinks. The margaritas were a little weak for the price mine was frozen & theirs on the rocks. I even added an extra shot to mine... blah. We ordered two of the queso birria tacos, steak tacos with beans & rice. The salsa & chips were OUTSTANDING!!! So, fresh & thick w/a kick but not too spicy. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. Plus the customer service was excellent.
Great place. Our waitress was kind and the food was delicious. Nothing like margaritas at 9am! Will definitely come back, and if you want a great breakfast with lots of options, this is the place.
My Husband and I have been to other breakfast spots but we're very disappointed. I thought about this place cause I will always drive past all the time and say 'maybe they have good food' so we visited today while inside the decor and music was great, the atmosphere was clean and warm the Host was very polite and welcoming as she sat us, the waitress was nice and polite we both ordered the fajita omelette which is down below in the photos it's was delicious and perfect she came to check on us to see was everything good. We have decided to make this our breakfast spot. We will be back soon. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good food it's worth the bucks.
2nd time here and got the Veggies fajita and the D'Lua Pizzadilla. Veggies chopped a bit too large for my fiance's taste but that's a preference not a criticism. I saw the Pizzadilla and caved due to not knowing what it was. I got it with Taco beef. It was pretty good but it was missing something. I tossed a few tortilla chips from the basket between the two flour tortillas. Went from 'okay I'm glad I tried this' to 'I'm ordering this again next time.'
