Burrito and enchiladas
Ella T.

Don Chepe is one of the newer Mexican places in Carson City. We were very excited to try it and we were hopeful it would be the new go-to. We went during the week for dinner and were sat right away. The service was very very good. Our waitress was nice and checked on us multiple times during our meal. We got enchiladas and a chorizo burrito. The burrito was really good but the enchiladas were so-so. It seems like everything was mediocre and didn't have a ton of flavor. I was disappointed with the beans and rice. Both were just really lacking flavor which was sad because that's usually my favorite part of eating out at a Mexican restaurant. We shared a flan at the end and it was really yummy and a decent portion. We did have an issue with the check, the price we were charged was a few dollars more per item than what was on the menu. The server was able to correct it so it wasn't a big deal, good thing we were paying attention. With so much competition in town we aren't sure if we'll be back.

Meant to take more pictures but the food was too good .

Don Chepe has good Mexican fare with great family value pricing. They serve specials and have overall a big selection of classic Mexican dishes. The service was great , slow Monday and our hostess was on it. She was also our server and didn't miss a beat. We have now bin here twice and love it. Great weekday dinner option. This place is authentic and has beautiful decor to fit the menu:

Horchata and Jamaica Agua Fresca. Very tasty!

Today my fiancé and I ate at Don Chepe Mexican Restaurant. We were greeted right away and immediately served chips, salsa, and beans. My fiancé ordered the birria plate with rice, beans, and consomé, while I had the green shredded beef enchiladas with rice and beans. We also shared a mixed pupusa filled with pork and beans. The food was very flavorful, and we received our meals surprisingly fast. The customer service was excellent -- our server was so friendly and attentive. Overall, the experience was amazing, and we'll definitely be coming back!

Well this was my first time at this new restaurant in Carson City and it wasn't bad. The place is spacious with plenty of seating and also a bar area with television screens ( which I think would be cool to watch sports when they get drinks to serve). That being said, it's so new they are still waiting for their alcohol license to be able to serve drinks. My party had 3 of us total and we're at down immediately. We were served chips and salsa which I have to say the salsa was very good. We ordered our plates of food and got our food. The food tasted good and all of us were full. It wasn't anything amazing, but wasn't bad either. It was good food for the price point. The portions were decent and tasted good. I'd say everyone should go give it a try! It will probably better once they get their alcohol license where people can hang out at the bar and watch sports or have a drink with their meals. The restaurant is located in a shopping centre where there is plenty of parking! Outdoor seating on a nice day is also available. I'll wait a bit to go back and try this place again.

Taco salad with sauce on side!

I reviewed the asada taco salad didn't expect that the pollo would be so different! Excellent soft mixed cheese, the chicken was crispy on edges and great tostada. Very very good!

I dove right in!

If you've been to Francisco's you know where this place is. In the wink of an eye Don Chepe slipped in and started their own menu. It's a bit limited for now but I found just what I wanted. I had a street taco and a tostada with fish, ceviche really. So tasty! Run by the whole family, dad in the kitchen son out taking orders, everyone ready to serve. There's no alcohol yet, but no problem here, the iced tea was good and we all understand with a new restaurant the costs need to be brought in one by one.

Quesabirria
Kylee F.

Empty restaurant upon arrival. It's a decent size restaurant. Sad that it wasn't busy. Our service was kind. We tried to order alcohol and for whatever reason they said they weren't serving alcohol. For me I've never heard of such a thing. Everyone likes tacos and good beer! I was disappointed with that. The quesabirria was amazing - I was impressed. Enchiladas were average. Overall idk if we would return or not. Middle of the road rating.

Pic of our takeout trays.  I'm looking forward to having time to sit down inside and see these 2 amazing dishes plated!

One of the best dinner deals for two in Carson City! Molcahete mar y Tierra for two!

2 Birria taco plate
nate c.

The cheese Birria taco plate was excellent. Fresh rice & beans. Meaty side of broth consome which came hot from the doordash. Fresh cold salsa. Nice pile of cilantro & onion to add to them. They were cooked perfectly nice & crispy, plenty of Birria meat in them. The guac was really solid too. It had real avocado chunks, it wasn't fake, it also had pico in it, very good. The chips were very fresh, not gross greasy chips either. I will order from here again, & probably more than I did from the old restaurant that was here. This one is very different, I like what they have going on here, more than the last place. What a great Birria.

New in town

It was really good and great service horchata water is really good too.......... ......

Two crunch chicken tacos from the lunch special board. $9.99
Tawnya C.

Had lunch here on Tuesday around 11:30am. I was the first in our part of 4 to arrive. I was immediately greeted and taken to a booth. Service was great and once everyone arrived we placed our orders (all from the lunch special board). Food came out quick and was tasty. The bill came to just under $40 for four lunch specials, everyone drank water. That is quite a deal these days. I'm knocking down one star as the chips are not my favorite. A little thick and lacking salt. I'll definitely be returning to try other items.

Yummy!

Their salsa was outstanding, we actually bought a pint of it.

We also ordered the chili rellano plate which was huge and delicious. This Mexican restaurant deserves high accolades to the chef, owner, and servers. AND I left my cell phone on the table and got almost home and realized I didn't have it with me, I drove back even though they were closed and they greeted me at the door with a smile and my phone.

Quality/Quantity - Complimentary Chips and Salsa - Love hearty chips, and my wife thought they were home made...? I think it was store bought... Quesabirria Tacos - 4 (small) tacos, a cup of sauce and a side of condiments, toppings. See pictures. If you have been following, I have been on a Birria Taco quest, trying this type of tacos every change I get. These were just okay. The sauce was good and it had generous meat/beef. But it lacked cheese?!?! See my last Birria Taco review at Mama Papa. Chimichanga - My wife really enjoyed this. She did not believe me when I told her that this was a deep fried burrito, lol. Generous portions, and she was only able to eat half. Guess we have dinner tonight. My wife and I felt the food was fairly authentic. BTW - EVERYONE ordered soup!! Menudo, Pozole, 7 Mares or Caldo de Res, etc! My wife really wanted to order this to try, but it was 70 degrees outside. Just means we have to come back. :) Kids menu also available. Atmosphere - Small location, the indoor and outdoor space was about the same size. Full of locals, everyone sort of knew each other which was cool. Semi open kitchen. One unisex restroom, I did not bother to check it out. Open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm as per Yelp. Plenty of parking Service - Overall good, welcoming. Counter or table service. We kind of stood out, and not in a negative way. The owner/cashier wanted to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The waiter was a hard worker, cleaning our table, and bringing out chips and salsa to us. Then we went to the counter to order. Price - No prices on the menus?!?! $30 + generous tip. Reasonably priced, but for a "hole in the wall"?!?! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

I recommend this restaurant if you're ever visiting Carson City…read more Hours: Daily, 11:00 AM-9:00 PM Happy Hour: 4:00 PM-6:00 PM Parking: Free with plenty of spaces in the shopping complex. Ambiance: Relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with Mexican-inspired décor and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. There was a steady flow of guests, giving the place a lively but comfortable feel. Restrooms: Clean and decent, although a bit outdated. Service: Friendly but somewhat disorganized, possibly because we had a large group. The waitress initially told me the bartender was busy, but later realized she had never entered my drink order. She apologized and removed it from the bill. She also brought the wrong entrée for one of my friends but corrected it promptly. On a positive note, she graciously accommodated another friend's custom drink request even though it wasn't on the menu. Chips & Salsa: The first basket is complimentary. We were told additional baskets normally have a charge, but during our visit we were offered unlimited refills. Food: Fresh, authentic, and generously portioned. Recommended dishes: Salmon Atlántico, Fish Tacos, Artichoke Dip, Enchiladas, and Bistec.

It can be overwhelming if it's your first time. But, if you know what you're craving, the decision might be easier. I could not make up my mind to just get 1 item. I originally came for ice cream and/or a sweet treat. I ended up getting 3 things. - Strawberries & Cheesecake ice cream. Not really worth it. The ice cream was vanilla with strawberry puree mixed in, so the texture was icy. And it had bits of cheesecake bites in it. It was underwhelming for me. - Esquites . I love elote and esquites. The esquites was pretty decent. Served warm with mayo and topped with cotija and tajin. Easy to eay and their small size is a good portion. I couldn't finish it. - Fresas con crema. Something so simple tastes so good. This was my fave and worth coming back for. It's a large cup of sliced strawberries swimming in a sweet cream mixture of Mexican crema, condensed milk, and evaporated milk, topped with whipped cream. It was so delicious. The portion is plenty for 1 person. I'm glad I have leftovers because I definitely would have craved it again. There are so many things to try that I definitely will be back to try their savory items. The woman who served us was extremely polite and helpful. We enjoyed our time there.

Not too sweet and perfectly balanced with just enough cinnamon. The best item I had there. The 2 items not worth getting is the shrimp tostada. Literally a boring ice berg lettuce salad with cold shrimp filled in a tortilla bowl. And their choco-flan. The cake part was dry and hardly tasted chocolate. However, the flan layer was pretty good. Maybe just order the flan. This is an old place that could definitely use a renovation. The place over all is just dirty. Everything needs an upgrade.

The tortilla chips were pretty lackluster as well as the salsa. They didn't give very many chips and if you ask for a refill, it was an extra $2.99. By the way, the only prices on the menu was for the chips. When we asked why there were no prices on the menu the server was very clear in blaming the "Trump" economy. He blamed his prices on Trumps tariffs. With that said, I didn't understand why he couldn't put them on the menu, but that is what it was. Do not order the water as it tastes rancid. I'm not sure how that was possible, but it happened. Service:: The service wasn't the best, but it also wasn't the worse. Just don't expect much and you'll be fine. Ambiance: The ambience was that of a typical Mexican restaurant with a focus on muerte (death). The artwork comprised nicely dressed skeletons. Although I have no affiliation, I would recommend "El Charro" in Carson City as an alternative. The food is more flavorful, larger portions, free chips, better margaritas and staff is very nice. They also have a deal if you buy $100 gift card they will give you an extra $20 on the card.
