South Beach restaurants on Christmas Day were $150-$250/plate which was more than we wanted to spend. Grateful to find this hidden gem. Restaurant is inside a hotel in mid beach so we weren’t sure what to expect. Server was engaging. Everyone’s dish was amazing, from the pumpkin ravioli that was not overpowering but tasty, all the steaks, the Alfredo paired with bacon, and even a specialty dish made with a spicy tomato sauce (which was exactly what was desired). The chicken parm was the most uniquely prepared and a favorite. We were the only ones there for a long time —maybe people don’t eat out on Christmas Day but we were eternally grateful!

A cuisine with more than 5,000 years of tradition, characterized by masala but it has also evolved through history due to Portuguese, Persian and English influences, and to which years later ingredients from the new continent such as tomato, chili, corn and potato were added, transforming the cuisine into an experience that brings together elements from all over the world that converge in unique dishes, created by chefs brought directly from India.

We had a delicious dinner, which is consistent with our previous experiences there. Service was excellent. But the best part was the kindness they showed us when we found our car wouldn’t start after dinner and we had to wait 3 hours for a tow truck. ..long after closing time. The manager stayed with us an wouldn’t hear of us waiting in our car. So, not only was this a great dining experience, it was an example of how well people take care of each other.

We chose Don Jorge's at the last minute as there were not a lot of choices on a Saturday night. The reviews looked good, so we gave it a try. We are so glad we did! If you like Tex-Mex food, this is the place to go. There was a DJ that also sang and had a surprisingly good voice. The decor is simple yet clean. And the food was great. Everything we tried was perfect including the freshly made salsa. If you are in the mood for Tex-Mex, I would highly recommend Don Jorge's!
