Diego's Taqueria

I have been coming to this restaurant for about 7 years and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious no matter which dish I get. The margaritas are also very good, the best in Uptown Kingston in my opinion. Space is small so get there early or make a reservation, especially if your party is larger than 4 people. A must visit if you are in the area.

The food here is just so consistently great, and affordable too. The owner is friendly and welcoming, atmosphere low key--sit at little bar or grab a table (or takeout,) ive done them all. Highly recommend

A great spot w great food, very kind and hardworking owners! I am a big lover of the fried pickled jalapeños, 10/10 would recommend any day!

I'd been a few years ago and recall enjoying it. This visit was mediocre at best, finished off by the owner (!) being rude to us. The place was woefully understaffed for a Saturday night, which had the owner rushing around trying to cover what the one waitress and bartender couldn't. It took a long time to get waited on, and we watched people at the door leave when he couldn't get to them in a timely fashion to seat them. The owner ended up making a grossly passive aggressive move with an empty plate I had set on the empty table beside us, picking it up and putting it back in front of me instead of taking it with him on his way back to the kitchen. He apologized when he returned, seeing our surprise and hearing us comment on it. He tried to excuse his decision to not bus our empty plates (but could clear an empty table) by explaining that he "didn't want to get the other table dirty with my plate." Overall the drinks were good, the tacos have gone down in taste and were significantly smaller than my last visit, and I feel badly for the very few staff trying to make a living at a place where they can't bus the tables, let alone get a Saturday crowd seated and waited on since more than half the tables were empty and the owner preferred to stress himself out trying to take up the slack, quite ineffectively.

Fresh and delicious food. Friendly staff.

Great guac, great tacos!

Great tacos and margaritas! Super friendly owner and staff.

Diego’s is a wonderful place. Friendly staff, amazing food and margaritas are top notch. I love a spicy marg and they know how to do it! Food is fresh. If you’re thinking about going- do it!!!

the barbacoa is immaculate

The food was decent, but the drinks tasted watered down. I told the manager that my margarita tasted like there was little to no alcohol in it, and he responded by saying there was no way that was possible and that I was “just used to it”. I’ve worked in many bars and restaurants, and I found that to be very rude and unprofessional. Our server didn’t check on us for the rest of the evening.
