Part of this working class Pasadena neighborhood since the '80s, this affordable, family friendly Tex-Mex spot makes sure that nobody leaves hungry. The restaurant is on the small side, so most nights find the casual dining room moderately packed and of a slightly higher decibel than similar establishments, but waiting for a table in the bar area makes for some good people watching.

Ask for Natalie! She was THE BEST waitress! Food was awesome. Tortillas were HOMEMADE. That makes a big difference. Margaritas are STRONG and GOOD! I will be eating here again soon!

Wow!
Gotta love those disgruntled employees!!
As the "owner's kid", a.k.a., the G.M., I just gotta say this guy is way off!!
If you haven't been to the Don'Key, why not? Its been around so long, its practically a landmark in Pasa-get-down-dena!
Come try our famous fajitas and even more famous Don'Keyritas! They will land you on your @$$!!!
Most definitely a fun atmosphere and while your here, feel free to take a peak into the HUGE window where you can see all the action that goes on in our kitchen! All the kids love to watch the tortillas being made fresh daily!
The Don'Key isn't just an eatery, it's a party!!
- Pros: Great service and great times..
- Cons: There's only one location!

I USED TO WORK HERE...

I GUESS THIS PLACE IS GOOD IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENE. IT'S BEEN SHUT DOWN A FEW TIMES FOR HEALTH ISSUES.EVERY MORNING IT WAS LIKE A GAME TO SEE WHO COULD FIND AND SMASH THE MOST LITTLE BROWN INSECTES (YOU CAN'T USE THE "R" WORD ON HERE). THERE WERE RODENTS THAT WOULD BE IN THE BACK BECAUSE IT WAS SO DIRTY BACK THERE.
I WOULD NEVER EAT HERE MYSELF. THE COOKS NEVER WASH THEIR HANDS AND THEY'RE DIRTY! THE OWNERS KIDS (THE ONES THAT RUN THE PLACE) WERE ALWAYS DOING INAPPROPRIATE THINGS IN THE BACK.IF PEOPLE KNEW WHAT WENT ON IN THE KITCHEN THEY WOULD NEVER EAT THERE! IT IS SO DISGUSTING!
- Pros: IT'S GOOD IF YOU WANT TO GET DRUNK.THEY SERVE UNDERAGE PEOPLE
- Cons: SO DIRTY!
