En lo personal, no me gustó la comida tiene buena imagen pero realmente no tiene sabor. Cuando una comida está buena no importa pero realmente tuve una mala experiencia experiencia con la comida de este lugar. Lo único bueno fue el servicio el personal era muy amable. Los alimentos no tienen sabor. Es un restaurante, pero el ambiente lo tienen como si fuera un sport bar.

Delicious cafe de ollá, and chilaquiles verdes con huevo y cecina

It was my first time coming to Birrieria el Michoacano and it will not be my last. The service is friendly and welcoming. We got seated immediately and had coffee on our table within minutes. The restaurant has music playing (jams, btw) but it's not overly loud. The food was amazing. The arroz and frijoles taste homemade. Don't sleep on this place!

This is the Michoacán style enchiladas de Enchiladas con Pollo

If you want real authentic Michoacán food you need to come here. By far the best I've ever had. First time coming here and will always be back everytime I come to town. And they make tortillas hechas a Mano! You can tell they really put effort into making good.

We wanted to order some shrimp tacos and some other seafood plates. They said thats only available after 1pm. No joke, it was 12:50pm. The waitress said she would check with her manager since it was only 10 minutes till 1. Manager said thats their rules. Seafood after 1pm. Sooo we ordered nachos and chilaquiles. Very basic. Food was bland. We weren't willing to wait another 10 minutes. Half ate the food and left. My family and i will not be returning. Not because of their "policy" but because the food was so BLAND. How can anyone mess up chilaquiles and nachos!!

Very good food, great prices. Unique selection of foods from Michoacán. Service is not bad, okay, could be better.

So bomb!

I want to give this place five stars but the birria wasn't that good considering this was the specialty. But everything else was sooooo good I would definitely come back for the michelada and breakfast.

You either like the menudo or not? Well, sounds like good birria reviews, though the birria from Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, is amazing, too.

The food is not worth the price, the service is non existent, and they charge you extra for any little thing.

Our server was friendly and attentive, but the food and bill were where the problems started. The Jamaica water was delicious, but $8 is a bit steep. I've had better Jamaica waters at other authentic Mexican restaurants, and the most expensive one I've seen was $5. The chilaquiles were bland and lacked any flavor or spice. I had to ask for a salt shaker, a knife to cut my eggs, and a spicy salsa to add some flavor to my dish. The salsa itself was bland, with no salt or spice. My husband's seafood shrimp aguachiles had a nice presentation, but it was just as bland and flavorless. We had to add salt to it as well, and there were only about five shrimp in total, chopped into small pieces. It was mostly cucumber and onion ceviche. I was also disappointed with the well whiskey. It was almost $20, which is outrageous. I was better off ordering a signature drink for that price. Overall, I don't recommend this place. The food is bland and the prices are high. There are better places to go eat Mexican food for better prices, such as "Cafe de Olla," which is a little further down the road and offers delicious authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices.

Fonda Don Chon is an authentic Mexican restaurant located in Shopper Ln. In Covina near the…read moredowntown. Parking lot across the restaurant. You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness. Fonda Don Chon has high quality, flavorful and delicious food. It is my FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

Went to the lunch buffet without reading the reviews and I'm glad I did haha. Seems like this spot…read moremight be a hit or miss but the day we went was absolutely fantastic! We were seated promptly by the hostess and our server came quickly to get our drinks. He was nice and checked in on us often and took plates away. The only thing I wouldn't order again is probably the mango michelada. My boyfriend and I love michis! But hmmm the mango tasted like mango which is accurate but for some reason it just didn't really work well with the taste of a michelada. I would just order a regular one next time! Just because we didnt like it, doesn't mean you wont or shouldn't try! Anyways, the food was fresh and good! I just kept eating the fresh tortillas haha they were absolutely delicious. Ummm their caldo de res ?! Amazing. Got like four servings haha couldn't help myself. I personally just love a shit ton of cilantro and onions on my plate so it was really nice they had a salsa bar next to the soups. My boyfriend liked the breakfast bar they had as well which I think stops at a certain time! They had a lot of different things and I loved that! The only thing that was sort of awkward but funny was this girl randomly came up out of nowhere while we were eating and asked us to get closer so she could take a photo for us. We were kind of like huh? Haha because we were in the middle of eating so I wasn't really wanting to take a photo at that time. But we just went with it and smiled and then she took a couple more and then she said ok I'll be right back. And then maybe like 10 min later she comes back with one smaller photo with the border being Guadalajara's grill like location and times and stuff and us in the middle HAHA and then says that's for us and it's free and then takes out two more bigger ones of us that are just in like a felt frame, which was nice but said these cost like can't remember how much it was. But it was enough for me to say no hahaha and also I think we were both just caught off guard and when we said no thank you, she sort of looked up at someone (almost like signaling them that we said no) and gave a smirk and walked away HAHAH it was so awkward and weird but when I opened my purse later and found it I started laughing bc it just created a funny moment and memory. Anyways this place is good, seems hit or miss but definitely should be tried at least once! Very fresh and good, service is fast and attentive! This is probably the cheapest lunch buffet I've had and it was definitely worth it!

The two stars are for the Mariachi, dancers, and our sweet waitress…read more The food is pretty bad. We came for Sunday brunch. The food looks like cafeteria food from a hospital. This is not authentic Mexican food. Lastly, the bill. The manager told us he would be charging us half price for the children since they were under 10 years of age. And then he counted 3 children. Great. I obviously didn't think he would count my 8 MONTH OLD BABY. But the bill came and was paid for before we noticed that they charged us for a child who doesn't even eat solids yet! Look over your bill before paying!
