Dona Marie Tamales is a well known Mexican Restaurant and bar with two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The North Summerlin Location has a large bar area on one side of the restaurant and a very large dining area on the other side of the restaurant. Below is part of the dining area.

Whatever you order they start you off with warm chips and a spicy salsa.

The salsa is hot and vinegary tasting. It also is not the type that has vegetable chunks and herbs.

Someone has to try a tamale since this is a tamale restaurant.

When you open up the tamale it looks like this.

It’s very generous with shredded chicken.

I tried the Dona Maria Fajita Taco Salad (with cheese and sour cream on the side)

They gave a good amount of white meat chicken that is moist and seems marinated because it does have extra flavor to it. They also were generous with TONS of fried onions under the chicken. Also hiding in there is a loose wet guacamole. Today someone slipped with the oil because the salad has a lot oil in it from the onions.

My husband also tried the #27 green chili pork with rice and beans and house made tortillas.

He said the best of what he tried here were the house made tortillas that he said were delicious. The rest was just ok. The meat and beans were on the dry side today.

Today I thought was somewhere around average. Not the worst but also not the best. About average.
