Customer Reviews
First time eating here. Let me start by saying the owners of this place are amazing, they make everyone feel very welcomed. They will talk to every table we even got free samples of other food just so we can try it. The food is just as incredible. We had the croquetas and pállela for two and the pitcher of sangria. For dessert we had the flan. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant. It is no wonder it has been in business for over 40 years.
The food was outstanding and the service was absolutely wonderful. This was our third time dining here, and once again, everything exceeded our expectations. The Tortilla à la española was cooked to perfection, and the Cordero asado was incredibly tender—literally melting in your mouth. We also had the pleasure of meeting Carlos, the owner, and his business partner, Mrs. Elena, who is in charge of desserts. Both were extremely kind, welcoming, and generous. Elena’s flan deserves special mention—it had a truly unique and unforgettable flavor. To top off an already perfect evening, they surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back.
Highly recommend this restaurant! Our servers, Ed and Morgan, provided excellent service to our group and ensured that we felt welcomed and comfortable. They timed everything perfectly, descriptively described dishes, and kept our waters filled. Service was complemented well by the tasty red sangria, tapas, and marinara paella to create a memorable experience. Carlos can sure throw down in the kitchen! We made sure to save room for dessert. We ordered the flan, lime ice pie, pear, and blueberry desserts. So delicious! These all paired especially well with the port wine that was offered to us. We look forward to returning. Thank you so much for everything!!
Don Quijote in Valparaiso is a fantastic spot for authentic Spanish cuisine. The food is flavorful and well-prepared, especially the paella and tapas like croquetas and patatas bravas. Great wine and sangria selection, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.
If we could give 100/10 we would! The food was incredible, highly recommend the calamares en su tinta, and the flan for dessert. Elena was incredibly sweet and treated us like family. Healthy portions, attentive staff and each bite continuously tasted like the first. We WILL be back!
