DJT, in a strip mall at Shelby Street and Hanna Avenue, is not a cookie-cutter Mexican like many other places: they have all the traditional dishes you see everywhere else, but also have a BUNCH of other actual Mexican offerings you won't find everywhere. The decor is more like many real places in Mexico, your basic storefront with polished concrete flooring, lunchroom-style chairs and tables as well as a few booths, and minimal festive decorations, which makes it a surprise when you find out they have a full bar with just about any liquor you want as well as a salsa bar with 6 or 7 different sauce selections. (The salsa bar was closed due to Covid restrictions when we went, but you could request the salsa you want to be brought to your table). I ordered Birria, a type of mutton stew, but unfortunately they were out of mutton! Still, they had other non-ordinary selections. All in all, we loved eating there, and the proprietor and employees provided really courteous and helpful service. They may not have all the carved wood and upscale atmosphere of some places, but the food is the thing there, and it is a GREAT thing. iComemos!
