Don Señor

Past several times going here, I’ve found bones in the food, and onion peelings, and like if you ordered chicken… you’ll also find some pork or steak pieces in it too.

Even though there at least a couple of other Mexican restaurants in Winchester, I was almost feeling sorry for Winchester and their lack of options. I’ve been to the other Mexican restaurants there, and those were old and lacking. This one is newer and seems cleaner than the others. I know, I know, you never know what the kitchen looks like, but if the dining décor and cleanliness are indications of the kitchen, then I’m happy. My mom won’t even step out of the car, if a restaurant looks old or dirty. Obviously, I don’t have that issue, but that’s irrelevant here anyways.
It is in an unassuming location, in the same strip mall as a nail salon and Sears. When I walked in there were several gentlemen at the register area, they all looked at me like I had four heads before saying anything. The hostess stand was a bit over from that area. Next time, I’ll avoid that awkward silent stare down and head straight for the hostess stand. That’s the end our my slight complaints here.
The menu was plentiful, including pictures… I loved that, because we know us Unilocalers love us some pictures. The lunch options are even offered on the weekends which I loved. I decided to go with the lunch portion of Pollo Bandido, at $ 6.49, I thought it was a steal. I dislike rice, so they let me substitute the rice for some fries. Side note… Heinz ketchup would’ve been nice, but I promised that I wouldn’t complain, so I will be grateful that they at least had a generic version of ketchup. Everyone else in my party had chicken fajitas and they raved about them. I must say that they were huge, especially for lunch portions.
Our waiter was extremely efficient and nice and joked around in Spanish with my husband. I really need to learn Spanish. He even brought out extra salsa bowls without rolling his eyes, like some places do when I ask. Side note, I like to double dip, so I want my own bowl of salsa… TMI, I know, but now you know.

Why 2 stars? Sadly, it wasn’t the absolute worst I’ve had but it wasn’t very good either. It was just «meh.»

My friend and I stopped in here for lunch one afternoon. It was slow; there were only two other tables seated at the time. The host seated us rather quickly, but the server didn’t greet us until about 5 minutes after we were already sitting. Not a huge deal — like I said, it was slow. We ordered two waters and a chimichanga lunch special for my friend, and I ordered the burrito lunch special. The drinks were brought to us, along with some chips and salsa. Do you know what cold chips that have too much oil on them taste like? Oil. They were gross. Luckily, the lunch plates arrived rather fast, so we didn’t have to eat the cold chips. I spoke too soon. The chimichanga was unappreciated and picked through. My burrito was oddly seasoned, but I drenched it with salsa and queso and chomped my way through it. Next time, I’ll look elsewhere for a decent Mexican lunch when I’m in Winchester.

Great food. Fast service. Didn’t sit in the bar area but looked like a welcoming area for a drink.

I go there enough that the waiter doesn’t even ask me what I want to drink now. He just brings me my corona margarita. And the one time they messed up my order, they gave me another drink AND a shot of tequila ON THE HOUSE! I usually just go to have a drink and chat with friends but the food is still good. Not amazing, blow your socks off. But it fills you up and its always hot. It’s a Mexican restaurant in KY not a Michelin star rated place. Go with friends and have a few drinks and the place will always be good. Salsa is too mild… But that’s just my preference.

This is one of three Mexican restaurants here in Winchester. All three are owned by the same family. Don Señor is my favorite of the three. All are good. I can’t think of anything that I’ve had there that I didn’t like. Everything is great. Quick service. Friendly staff.

Took the family to dinner here on Saturday & the 9 of us thought it was terrific. We had a variety of dishes & everything was very good. We were seated quickly; the service was excellent; the prices were reasonable. This was my third visit here & it’s always been excellent!

This place must have employees or friends review to get good ratings.
The guacamole actually had brown spots in it and was so bland my son complained. The vegetables in the fish tacos were incredibly old to the point of the carrots being brown! The white rice with the tacos was old enough to be dried out on top.
When we asked if the rice or beans were vegetarian they waiter was stunned, and told me the «head chef» wasn’t in right now so he couldn’t check and didn’t know, then suddenly developed a problem speaking english. They seemed to make a number of derogatory remarks loudly in spanish which my son and I know just enough of to catch the drift We had a service dog with us so the word perro really stood out.
I don’t think knowing if there is chicken stock or lard in your rice and beans is that crazy, but even if you think it is you probably pretend to be polite anyway.

My wife had heard about this from some friends of hers, so we drove up to Winchester for our anniversary. Let me tell you, this place ROCKS. The food is delicious, the margaritas are huge, and the staff is great! Everyone is always friendly! We definitely recommend it– even for the drive.

This place is AWESOME! Love, love, love this place! We’re there so much they know what drinks we drink & they know where our preferred seating is! The best place to eat anywhere! I would recommend it to ANYBODY! Keep up the good work!

The food was Terrible. very bland the salsa was tomato sauce and the guacamole was just smashed avocados. will not be going back again

One of the best choices that you have for Winchester, KY & as good far as Mexican food goes, but kinda’ mediocre for a food choice as compared to restaurants in most larger cities go.

Though it was a nice looking place and the food was good, my wife and I became ill a couple of hours after eating here. Though I can’t say for sure that it was food poisoning, l won’t be going back.

Great food**Huge portions** I had the especial fajita and hubby had the marina chalupa!
I took half back to our room at neighboring Holiday Inn, had with eggs this morning! Still yummy!

It was a bit odd of a place. The front side looked like a family fun down home Mexican joint, but the bar area where we were seated was like a Latin Disco. Odd blue ceiling lights surrounded by very loud drunks.
I ordered quesadilla colorado and my partner ordered chimichangas. My quesadilla was very good, but his chimis were extra sweet and he sent them back.
The waitress was very nice and understanding. They didn’t charge us for the chimis.
I dont actually see myself going back to this place.

Great place to eat! I can’t believe I’m eating this late! :-) I love the Hispanic people they work hard and great people.

Anything with shrimp is good here I’ve had it all.

Good Mexican food at a good price. Family oriented. The roasted corn and black bean salsa was a wonderful surprise.

Great Mexican food at very reasonable price. I highly reccomend it!
