Don Ciro Review: An Old Flame in a New Frame
It had been almost seven years since I last set foot in Don Ciro. Back then, the restaurant was tucked into a cozy, character-filled spot to the south of the newer location. While the new space is more spacious, it doesn’t quite have the same charm as the old haunt. Walking in, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the restaurant now feels like a nostalgic relic—once vibrant and bustling, but now almost forgotten.
Arriving around noon, I expected the usual lunch rush that used to define the old location, but surprisingly, only three tables were occupied, and I made the fourth. It took a minute for the staff to notice me, and once they did, they got me seated promptly. Right away, I could sense they were understaffed. With only three tables of guests, they seemed to be hustling for reasons unclear.
One bright spot: their chips and salsa, still as memorable as ever. The salsa is uniquely flavorful and hard to replicate, a true highlight. The staff were moving quickly, though it was clear there was only one waiter with a single helper covering all the other tasks—table cleaning, drink refills, who knows what else. When the waiter finally reached my table, he asked if I was ready to order. Thankfully, I was, and I went for the Birria plate.
As I waited, I headed to the restroom, which painted a picture of the general upkeep: clean but dated, with a decor that seems frozen in the ’90s and in need of a refresh. The dining area didn’t suffer from any bad smells; rather, you could smell authentic Mexican food being cooked, which is always a good sign.
When my food arrived, however, I experienced another hiccup in the service. The waiter left my plate, tortillas, and the check in one fell swoop. Really? No follow-up to see if I might want anything else? That kind of rush doesn’t sit well with customers—it almost felt like I was being hurried out. Don Ciro, please, don’t do this to yourself! Your food is wonderful; the Birria was delicious and hit all the right notes. But it’s those little service missteps that can leave customers feeling a bit overlooked.
A Few Friendly Suggestions:
Service: Hospitality goes beyond just good food. Make the effort to connect with the people who love your dishes. Don’t leave the check on the table before the meal even begins; it can make guests feel rushed and unappreciated.
Menu: Your menu is extensive, maybe a little too much so. Narrowing it down to your 20 most popular dishes would streamline things for both your kitchen and customers, making choices easier and reducing food waste.
Food Presentation: The Birria was great, but consider serving garnishes and condiments separately. Not everyone loves onion or cilantro, so let customers add those extras themselves.
Atmosphere: A little investment here could go a long way. Updating the decor, a fresh coat of paint, maybe even new flooring—small changes that could revive some of that charm your old spot had and make the new place feel less like a blast from the past.
Don Ciro, I hope you see this as constructive criticism from a loyal customer. Your food has heart and authenticity; now bring the same warmth to the rest of the experience, and you’ll win over even more fans.

Got door dash. To say this is the worst mexican place I’ve had is an understatement. The salsa could have easily passed for warm tomato juice. Chicken was so dry and over cooked it was like eating jerky. Very disappointed

The restaurant was good. So far it’s the only place I found in Shawnee Oklahoma that has authentic street tacos. I actually ended up going twice in one week. I have the tamales and tacos. My only issue would be to season the food more. Other than that it’s a great Hole in the Wall Restaurant. I’ll definitely go back and bring some friends along with me. They also have drinks in glass bottles which I like.

Thought it was a very average Mexican restaurant. I didn’t particularly like it – but that’s my taste. The staff was very friendly. The facility was clean and picked up. The food was good – complementary sopopias. If you like Mexican food, give this place a try. Menu photos as of Sep 2024.

I couldn’t remember if I had eaten here before, so I ordered here since I saw a bunch of different people placing orders. It was once I tasted the salsa I knew, instantly, I had been here. I love salsa, but for some reason, every time I get take out from here my salsa is literally steaming hot, and taste like marinara sauce. I do not understand, it tastes nothing like salsa. The queso is good, and was included in my order. I was able to substitute the chicken in my enchilada for cheese, so I was really happy about that. And, the beans and rice were good, I just wish everything wasn’t so runny and smushed together when I got it, it’s quite unappealing to look at.

Food was very good! A little on the cool side. Service was great but atmosphere is a run down old restaurant

My girlfriend and I hadn’t been to Don Ciro’s before and wanted to try it tonight. I would first like to say that this place is very popular even amongst people I work with so this is just my opinion. The salsa and queso are not made in house, or at least not from scratch. This most likely means they are canned and then served. This might be okay for some people but not myself who loves authentic mexican food. Now to our main course. We had our food out within about 10 minutes of ordering which is nice but also was a cause for concern for us both. On the lighter note our food looked amazing, and wasn’t entirely bad just not great. None of the food was salted or had very much flavor and seemed way to Americanized. If you are okay with this please do come by and support your local business. The photos are the fajitas and burrito.

We came to town for the balloon festival but weren’t about to wait in line for 45 minutes for the festival food. We randomly found this place on Google and it was worth the weird drive through dark back streets. The birria tacos are so, so good, as were the other tacos and rice and beans. The service was friendly and considerate and the prices were reasonable.

My wife ordered the gorditas lunch special and I ordered the ground beef burrito. Don Ciro’s had several salsas, each with a unique flavor. The gorditas could be ordered with several different fillings and my wife ordered the carne asada and ground beef. Both had good flavor and the sauces complimented the meat well. Both meals came with a side of rice and beans; the burrito also had a side of peppers, onion, and potatoes.
