I thought the food was good and the service was good as well. Don't know about the haters online but I was happy with the experience.

The ambiance wasn't for me. The music was LOUD making it difficult to communicate with the waitress. Outside seating isn't actually outside. It's a patio that's inclosed with plastic. It was nice but sitting outside would have been preferred. The drinks and food arrived quickly. However, due to a larger party arriving shortly after our drinks, our server was MIA for the check. We finally caught a different server to get our check. I do not live in this area, so I won't be back. It just was not for me.

Come here to drink, not eat. The food isn't great. The margaritas are strong but the food disappoints every time, and this includes chips and queso (which tastes more like butter than cheese). The fajitas are the worst I've ever had and were cold and undercooked. Service is standard, and the music is permanently on Pitbull Radio on Pandora. Seriously, if you ever need a dance track from 2010 out of your head, this is the place to go. Seth the bartender is super great. Ask him for a shot of mezcal. In a weird way, I'm glad this place exists because it's another place we can stop for a good drink, but I would eat elsewhere.

Here this weekend for the eclipse. Fun and casual place for an early dinner. Food was very good. My chimi was very good. Service was a little lacking but I am going to chalk it up to the large influx of people who showed up suddenly. Recommend for casual dining.

The food at Diablo's was fabulous. I got the Chilaquiles and they were delicious and authentic and I would eat them over and over again. The drinks were also decent. I had the jalapeño margarita and that was delicious but my friend ordered the orange Mezcal margarita and it was absolutely atrocious, it tasted like someone had added extra liquid smoke on top of the already smoky Mezcal. Everything else I tried off other peoples plates was also delicious and so the food in of itself gets a five star review and the drinks also get a five star review in good faith that that one orange Mezcal margarita was not good. The real issue that we had came to service we had a waitress who wasn't interested in waiting on us and was very terse and not friendly the entire time we were there. She brought our checks before we were done with our food even though the restaurant was practically empty at two in the afternoon. She was the dark spot on an otherwise great meal and I would continue to recommend Diablo to anyone else.

We went on a quiet weeknight. Our server was nice and helpful. The food was really good and the Spicy Margarita was fabulous! I dont know why it has such low stars.

I read the reviews after I sat down, for the size of the restaurant, it was slow. I stopped at the appetizers after looking at the health department score. The ceveche was good!

If you like Tequila, Mezcal, and Tex-Mex - you'll dig this place! The same great food & drinks as the Diablo's in Conway, with 2 big differences: (1) The decor & vibe at this location is not as dark and inviting as the Conway location; looks like Joe's Crab Shack decorated this location - then installed too many lights. (Minus 2 stars.) (2) The service is much better here than in Conway; helpful and efficient - Jasmine was GREAT! (Plus 1 star!) Food highlights; Tamale Bite appetizer, Lakeside Shrimp & Chicken Burrito, any of the tacos! And all the drinks we tried were excellent!
