Went for dinner and it was a horrible experience! The salad was old, yellow ish, slimy, and dodnt even dare to eat it. The tortilla holder smelled horrible like to throw up. We spoke to a gentleman and he wasn't kind at all. Very rude. read more

Our first time here and finally my sister and I came here and it's a nice restaurant and the ambiance was pleasant. The service was great and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the Chile relleno with a hard shell beef taco it came with soup or salad and I had the albóndiga soup and it was delicious. My Chile relleno was delicious loaded with cheese and the rice and beans were also flavorful. My sister ordered the shrimp Al mojo de ajo. And the plate had nice jumbo shrimp and plentiful at least 10 of them. She really liked it also came with rice and beans and soup or salad and she got the salad. The prices are great as well . We will definitely come back again next time I will try their fajitas. read more

been going here for many years. last week went there ordered a chicken taco. the taco came on a plate open with the meat burned on one end. taco shell was cold. i really believe they took it off of someone's leftover plate. he replaced it with a better one. i forgot to take a pic. it was much worse then it sounds. they've really gone down hill. read more

Don Chato is a solid reliably satisfactory Mexican restaurant in this neck of the woods. On my first visit here, I was starving and the COMBINATION PLATE with shredded beef burrito, Spanish rice, refried beans, and green salad came in hot and was super satisfying. Their complimentary chips were fresh and crunchy and their salsa has a slow burn that is full of flavor. On my next visit here, I wasn't so hungry so I ordered their DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM and was so happy I went straight to dessert. Service is always quick and friendly. So far, we've never had to wait to be seated, to order, to get water, to get our chips and to get our bill. read more

Great food and service! Unexpected given the unassuming store front. We enjoyed shrimp tacos and the shrimp burrito a la diavolo. Delicious!

Food was good except my don chato supreme salad had a hair in it my girlfriend said ewww and I was like wow I told the waitress about it she was in disbelief and said I will see if I can get you a refund from management and I didn't see her again I was tired so I just paid out front full price for the dinner but not coming back because of that and service read more

I was at your establishment yesterday with some ladies from my church. The food was a C-/B+. The service was less than acceptable. The waitress Carmen had major attitude and was seen shaking her head and rolling her eyes several times when some of the ladies were asking for their food to be prepared or served a certain way. She even tried to blame it on her being busy, even though that's her job as a waitress. The guacamole was not fresh and seemed to be prepared and squeezed from a bag. Tacos were falling apart and soggy. But mostly the disposition of the waitress was not acceptable. In short, I'm not likely to go there again. Carmen check your attitude please read more

Wonderful service and quick! They treat you like family and the food is authentic and the prices haven't increased.

Very authentic Mexican food and drinks. Family atmosphere and friendly service. They have traditional Mojara off the menu

Don Chato - Cinco De Mayo at Don Chato! - Mexican Near Me - Palmdale, California

Had shrimp cocktail, burritos,and street tacos, awesome and the prices are fair, I love it there and will be going back soon

I had never been to the one on 30th and Palmdale. Wow, I was surprised with the service, the ambiance, and the food. I heard only negative remarks about this place, and I tried the one in Acton, but I was not impressed. So coming here was such a surprise. The bartender was amazing, real Mexican down to earth man, exceptional service. The food was really good. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this, Don Chatos. read more

Place is bomb the atmosphere is fun and the take out is packed with care and bountiful portions! The steak milanesa was

Reviews looked good but this isn't authentic Mexican food unfortunately. Husband was also followed outside when he went out to smoke, my guess is they thought we were leaving without paying. Won't visit again read more

Our favorite local Mexican restaurant. The beef burrito is always delicious. Can't go wrong with any of the combination plates. I love the ambiance inside with a water fountain. Their service is always excellent and friendly. Easy to call ahead to pickup food to go. Never been to the bar inside, but it always looks inviting and popular. Their mixed drinks are delicious. read more

I rather be truthful than anything because I used to love coming to the Palmdale location. But now I feel so scammed out of my money . Definitely not the best Mexican restaurant anymore . I had the carnitas plate and man did the bean taste like powered beans and the rice stale af . I ordered the menudo last Sunday and let me tell you I rather just have bought a can of menudo. They only give you 4 pieces of meat and that's it (rolling my eyes ) save your money and go somewhere better than this place . The servers are trash as if they hate their job so much read more

Great food, good customer service and it has Bar ! Best part is that it's Local. Must try if you're looking for an authentic Mexican dine in restaurant read more

We go here often. Taco tues has some of the best carnita tacos! My daughter says they have the best beans she's ever had and she has had beans at a lot of places! read more

I've been coming to DC for many years and have enjoyed the food, the staff, good service, and delicious adult beverages mixed by Raul the bartender. Unfortunately, there is a recent (post-COVID reopening) trend that management has chosen to ignore: children in the bar area. Tonight was especially interesting. There were several families with parents drinking whose 3-4 year-old children were running about unchecked. My issue is this: children should not be in a bar. There is another section of the restaurant (made smaller during recent renovations) that is better suited for families with small children. Maybe I'm old fashioned but it seems crazy that parents who have been drinking will now drive their small children home. Also, should children really be party to adult conversations? As a regular patron who spends roughly $200+ every week here, it saddens me that I have to consider other options in the future. C'mon guys, this isn't Chucky Cheese. read more

Never going back. Spent 70.00 got about 5.00 worth of food. They should tell you if they are out of something instead of giving 2 teaspoons of chicken in the enchiladas. Horrible read more

Horrible service from owner got charged 7 times and all the owner did was tell me to go report it to my bank instead of fixing this situation read more

The ambiance is great and the first time I came the food was great. But now as my second trip here the food was disappointing. I ordered a chicken fajita and when the plate came out it was not hot they put the candle below the plate but what was the point? The tomato's where raw. ‍ In addition I ordered a salad, and I couldn't even bite into the salad it was drenched in Italian dressed but it tasted like vinegar! I like balsamic but this was so acidic and it wasn't even balsamic. And the waitress didn't ask if there was a problem pulling in the full plates of salad that was not touched. When I told her about the food there wasn't much empathy or apology. read more

Greeting and service is good. Waitress needs to be more attentive. Food is hmmmgood excellent cook. Location is great and area is good and they been there for a good while which is good Parking is great. It's clean but can use a little more bright lighting. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I want to say this is the best Mexican restaurant have ever been to, and Has to be the best in the antelope Valley. You get a lot of bang for your buck at this restaurant. Their breaded beef burrito was really good and well seasoned. Your service was impeccable, and the scenery on the inside is really nice. read more

Date night with bf. Restaurant looks a little outdated but the service is great. Waitress and waiter were very attentive and pleasant. Their street chicken tacos are amazing! Really flavorful grill chicken and it's not dried out like the other Mexican joints we've tried. I order a Caribbean grilled chicken salad. It was okay. The chips and salsa was pretty good. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the restaurant needs a little face lift and the restroom was messy and dirty. Despite the dirty bathroom I'll still come back. read more

We were craving Mexican food and my wife mentioned that Don Juan changed to Don Chato. We've eaten at the one in Acton so we decided to give this location a try. The food was excellent, I ordered a chilli reno, my wife ordered the fajitas and we shared a fried ice cream. The only reason for the 4 stars was because the service was a little slow (everyone was super nice though) and I'm sure they are still working out some kinks. I'm definitely going back (if not just for the fried ice cream), I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Very upset to find that Don Juan's had sold its restaurant; being that I am a "Palmdalian" and Don Juan's has been a part of my childhood! So; I decided to give Don Chatos a try! Holy moly!!! Micheladas are on point ... you have to try the MOLCAJETE ; my mouth waters just thinking about it!!! It comes with chicken breast; shrimp; carne asada; Nopales (cactus) , queso fresco and the yummiest mole type salsa I have had. Tortillas: beans; rice and salad. Such a good meal and so reasonable!!! My husband had the chipotle burrito and he ranted And raved on the great flavor and freshness. I will continue to support this Mexican restaurant that makes you feel at home. The servers and people in charge are fantastic. We have been here 3 times now and have not been disappointed. Great service every time!! P.S. the Flan was super delicious!!!!!!! Dessert? Why not!!!! read more
