About Us
Welcome to Don Quijote Restaurant

From our signature mofongo and pernil to our famous fried fish, every dish tells a story of culture, community, and connection.
Taste the difference, feel the warmth — welcome to Don Quijote.
❤️ Our Team – The Heart Behind Every Dish
At Don Quijote Restaurant, our team is more than a group of coworkers — we are a family.
Each person who joins our kitchen, our dining room, or our community carries a story of resilience, passion, and heart. Together, we share one purpose: to make every guest feel at home through the warmth of authentic food and genuine hospitality.
Behind every plate served and every smile shared is a team that believes in second chances, in hard work, and in the beauty of diversity. Some of us came to this country searching for opportunity, others looking for a fresh start — but here, we found something even greater: belonging.
Our founder, Sandra Almonte, believes that true success is measured not just in business, but in how we lift others along the way. Many of our team members have been given opportunities to rebuild their lives, learn new skills, and grow in an environment that values dignity, compassion, and purpose.
We celebrate each person’s journey — from the chefs who bring abuela’s recipes to life, to the servers who treat every guest like family, to the staff who keep our restaurant running with love and dedication every single day.
At Don Quijote, our people are our greatest ingredient.
Their stories, cultures, and smiles fill our space with warmth and humanity. They are the reason every dish has flavor, every visit feels personal, and every customer becomes part of our extended family.
Because when you dine with us, you’re not just tasting our food — you’re experiencing the heart of the people who make it.
