What an experience! The margarita tower isn't just a drink, it's a show, complete with fireworks! The cocktails were as gorgeous as they were delicious, and the food was incredibly fresh. Highly recommend the new Land and Sea dish, an absolute standout! The staff was top-notch: professional, approachable, and ready with the best recommendations.

Walked in and loved the atmosphere. It was bright, colorful, floral with nice music playing. We were greeted and taken to our table. Our server, Albery was friendly, attentive, and overall, a joy to have as a server...we even talked about football. Go Ravens! Our drinks were fruity and tasty. The meal was great. We will certainly be back.

I've been to Don Tigre twice and it remains my favorite Mexican spot in Baltimore. Having come from Los Angeles and missing my family's cooking, Don Tigre is the one place that reminds me of home. You can find free street parking a few blocks down and walk on over or park in the paid parking garage located nearby. I came here most recently to celebrate my birthday and they even brought out a dessert and tequila shot to celebrate! They sang me happy birthday and gave me the giant sombrero they have to wear. It was really lovely and felt like I was right at home. The place is also decorated in a warm and welcoming fashion with lots of fun unique decor pieces. Guava margarita 4/5, I've never had a guava flavored drink prior to coming here and while this is a little strong I still think it's a good drink Birria tacos 5/5, soft tender meat, good with and without the sauce but the sauce adds so much! Ground beef empanada 4.5/5, well seasoned thoroughly cooked, soft meat Elote 4.5/5, seasoned just slightly spicy. The first time I had this it has a bit too much of the cream but this time was perfect. The corn itself is fresh but def be prepared to use a toothpick. Chips and Guacamole + Salsa 5/5, the guacamole was incredible. We needed to order more chips so that we could finish the guacamole.

I've been here a few times for happy hour! It's usually pretty empty when it starts at 3pm and they have plenty of seating inside and can accommodate large parties. The deals for happy hour are great! I usually order the quesadillas which come with fries for $7 and the street corn for $7. They also have multiple margarita flavors on the happy hour menu as well! The service isn't the best but the food and drink options are a great deal!

I WILL BE BACK! First of let me just say that don Tigre was a vibe! This authentic Mexican restaurant is located at locust point in Baltimore and my friend and I went to celebrate cinco de mayo. We ended up sitting at the bar due to the wait time but It was worth It was the bartenders were friendly. We ordered guacamole, six tacos altogether and the manager gave us elote due to the long wait. Let's talk about the elote. This was THE BEST elote I've ever had. The corn was nice and sweet, with a good amount of mayo and tajin there was flavor in every bite The tacos I ordered was al pastor, lengua, and fried fish. My favorite was the lengua. The other two were a tad bit salty but It was still flavorful nevertheless. I heard they have a great taco Tuesday and happy hour specials so I will give their drinks a try next time.

The enchiladas were very tasty, I loved the side of rice & beans as well. The chips & salsa were unique and flavorful. The decor is so beautiful as well!

Went here for happy hour. Happy hour has special prices are margaritas and sangria. I ordered a margarita and cheese dip, two single tacos -al pastor and chorizo. The server gave us nachos and salsa to start. My friend ordered street corn on a stick and it was delicious. Everything was delicious! The decorations and ambience was bright and we went before the dinner crowd so it was nice and quiet. The service was quick and our server answered all of our questions. She was nice and offered us more nachos and kept checking in on us to make sure we were okay. Definitely will come back again.
