This restaraunt that's surrounded by residential homes in Pacas is an undiscovered treasure. A small spot with a heavy client base. Feels like a neigborhood staple Get there too late on the weekends for breakfast and you will have to wait outside. We tried the Cafe De Olla both hot and iced. A must try...The balance ! The balance between the sugar and cinnamon is excellence. The mulitas (not featured) are the best along with the Blanco Menudo. Very generous portions of everything. Tacos Dorados (not featured) are okay. The staff is effecient and professional. Service is quick for turning over table. This will remain on my breakfast spot list. read more

Went here with a party of 7. Came around 12-1pm on a Saturday. The place is welcoming with nice decor. Its not big but not small. I usually order menudo to go and it's some of the best around. This time was dine in. The hostess was nice. We got our order in. But this took some time to get our order fully. Now Im factoring in the wait took about 45min. That fine we were a large group. They weren't too packed after we sat so. It was a bit discouraging that 6 out of the 7 orders placed came out and had to remind them. I got what I normally get which was the menudo. I got it with pata this time. This time around it was ok. There was not the same amount they usually put in the to go orders. The broth felt a little watered than normal thus lacking that deep flavor. Still good but probably one of the not so good times. Also tried the guac n salsa n chips. All were really good. That salsa is perfect. Also had a bite of the chilaquiles and yeah they are how I like em. Tasty but not overly sauced. read more

The worst part about going somewhere new to eat, is being looked at like a science experiment lol Outside of that, the food was great. The service was still kind, and prompt. The environment is very nice very elegant. I had the Chilaquiles, I think the red sauce needs work, a little bit of meat in there would've been great, but overall it was delicious. Especially, after I asked for a little more cream, onions and cilantro. It was prepared fresh and came out quickly. read more

I visited two months ago and I am still thinking about the tasty chicharrón! Don Chon Menudo is no secret to anyone as this place is very busy and has a wait when I was there enjoying every last bite of the saucy chilaquiles. The space is very small, but I never felt rushed. The service is great and the food amazing! The parking sucks though. read more

Food is good, however, I practically had to beg for more coffee and creamer. They need to have someone go around offering more coffee. Obviously, waitresses are busy with taking orders etc. read more

The was our first time trying this spot. We found them on IG and let me say it did not disappoint. Everyone is very welcoming and our server Fernanda was very friendly. I got the pozole and it was really good, my BF got the menudo and honestly this is by far the best I've ever had! We also tried the crispy birria tacos with cheese the meat was so tender. Note: don't let the long line scare you, it's worth the wait. Although it's a small spot they get a lot of people in there (not crammed). They also get your food out really quick to you. Definitely coming back again!!! read more

Okayyyyyy we decided to try this hole-in-the-wall because typically hole- n-the-walls are extremely fire but this one definitely miss, was VERY MID!!! We visited this restaurant on a Friday morning, which was relatively quiet. However, the waiters were quite forgetful. I had to ask for water more than twice, and they seemed disorganized and not very attentive to our needs. Now the food looks great in pictures , however that's ALSO MISSED! we ordered several things and besides the burrito , everything was MID, not much flavor , syrup was Almost frozen , didn't even know syrup can freeze , coffee was very unflavored and boring , but looks great !!! Pricing is the same everywhere but rather spend my money elsewhere! Would not recommend, save your money and go elsewhere . read more

We waited about 20 mins. and the food was worth the wait. We ordered chilaquiles, strawberries and french toast, a grilled cheese sandwich. Agua fresa, cafe de olla. Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly. We're coming back! :) read more

Stopped by for breakfast with my family and we LOVED it. I stopped by years ago and picked up some menudo and it was good, but now that they have remodeled and expanded their menu, it will be a usual place for us. Service was friendly and fast for the most part. The place is small so expect a wait and accommodating a big party may be difficult. Perfect for small groups or be ok with sitting separately. Now for the food, it was delicious. We got the chilaquiles with a ribeye (spicy and so good), breakfast burrito, a waffle and menudo. Everyone was happy with their food! read more

Don Chon's Mexican Café Pacoima Don Chon's is that classic Pacoima comfort spot where the plates come out big, bold, and made with love. Their menu has some real standouts, starting with the Berry Berry a sweet, refreshing stack loaded with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and cream cheese whipped cream. If you're craving something hearty, the Don Ribeye is a monster sourdough, cheese, sunnyside eggs, avocado, mixed greens, jalapeño butter, onion, bacon bites, and a juicy ribeye steak all in one bite. And for the breakfast lovers, El Mañanero packs eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, avocado, potatoes, and jack cheese into the perfect morning plate. Warm service, homestyle flavors, and portions that don't play around Don Chon's stays a neighborhood favorite for a reason. read more

Full of flavor not gamy love that they offer salsa and chiles asados. Loved the decor super clean and the music was just perfect. I can't wait to go back found a gem read more

Have you ever gone to a cafe with pancakes and menudo served all day? I mean, that is just dope!!! Menudo is one of my favorite Mexican dishes, and learning about this place where you can eat it for breakfast or brunch is excellent! I recommend this place because the servers are knowledgeable about the food, service is quick, and the bathroom is clean. My husband and I will definitely come back! read more

Wow!!!!!! This little gem is awesome!! We were near by and stopped to get breakfast on a Monday morning. This spot was packed! No worries because there's plenty of seats and service is quick! The place is loud because it's packed however, it's not overwhelming. Of course, I had to try the iced cafe de olla, delicious!!!! We tried the Chori Benny which is Eggs Benedict but instead of ham, it has chorizo. When I tell you I ate the whole thing, I'm not kidding lol!!! The hollandaise sauce, avocado, queso fresco, egg and chorizo just go so well together. A must try! This entree came with a side of potatoes that were perfectly seasoned. We tried the Classic Benny as well, and again, this dish was perfectly made. We shared El Tostado, 2 huge pieces of toasted bread with avocado, bacon and pickled onions. This could have definitely been a meal on its own. We cant wait to go back and try other items off their menu! read more

I've tried majority of the menu and everything is absolutely amazing, the flavor and texture of each and every item is beyond what my taste buds expected. If it's good you will be in for a wait for a table so come with patience it's that good that the wait is a while but in the meantime they take orders for their amazing craft coffee/matcha drink; cafe de olla on ice is my FAV all time. The atmosphere is great, everyone's checking in on you making sure you are well serviced.

Came here for some breakfast and how Hispanics say "no se si era por el hambre o esta rica la comida" which for my non Spanish speakers it translates to "don't know if it was cause of the hunger or this food is actually good". Will definitely be coming back not only for the food but also for the good service that we were given. . Forgot to take a picture of the receipt but in total for this whole meal for 2 was $55 read more

I ordered to go but the place looks pretty clean. Maybe I'll try it again with different food because the pozole did not have enough meat and the hominy was kind of hard the carne asada taco was plain just meat and the menudo was flavorless with big chunks and not enough ingredients that go with it. I paid a total of $49.39 for this which I thought it was pretty expensive. read more

As we are on a quest to find the best menudo we had to try this place. We got there at 9:40 and waited about 10 min. The place is tiny and it gets packed so be prepared to wait. The menudo was meh. The only reason why I gave it a three stars was because the red salsa was super spicy and the birria tacos were delicious. Perhaps they should change the name to Don Chons Birria. read more

I came in this morning to pick up a Menudo since it's a rainy and cold day. It's my first time ever coming to this restaurant but it was highly recommended so I gave it a try. Let me tell you that the Menudo was amazingly tasty. The broth was flavorful and they served a good portion of meat. I was happy to show up to work and have everything that was required for the menudo. Nothing missing. Provided cilantro, onions, chile de arbol, limes and oregano. Also handmade tortillas! They have made a new customer out of me and I cannot wait to try more items on the menu. read more

I really wanted to enjoy this place a 2nd time, but the service today was a big disappointment. We came in to order tamales, something that is usually ready to go and ended up waiting over 45 minutes. For tamales, that's pretty crazy. We also ordered champurrado to find out after it was out. We weren't the only ones either. Several people around us were also waiting unusually long for their orders, and a few had to repeatedly ask for basic condiments that honestly should be offered without needing to request them. I understand that quality food can take time, and I respect that. But the service experience should match that quality. Unfortunately, it didn't today. I hope they can improve their system because the food deserves better service behind it. read more

This place was AMAZING!!! Food was soooo good!! Super delicious and gourmet. The lattes were yummy and in the cutest mason jars. The wait was a bit of a wait but this is only there SECOND weekend being open . It's totally understandable and totally worth it. The staff was friendly and a bit off. Again same reason...they just opened. We had to ask for silverware and one latte was missing but they are new and learning. Everything else was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. Nick and Johanna are great and you can tell they are really trying to make everyone's experience a wonderful one. They put a lot of love and effort into their food.

When we arrived, we asked for a table for 3 people and we were told it was going to be a 10-15 minute wait. We waited an hour. When we were seated, I asked the waitress if the chilaquiles were spicy and she told me that the green sauce chilaquiles were and I decided to go with the red sauce chilaquiles because I don't like spicy food and MAN they were very spicy. I couldn't finish the chilaquiles because my mouth was on fire. The coffee also tasted burnt. The ham was too salty. The place is very small, and I'm not really a fan of overcrowded loud breakfast spots so I don't think I'll be going back. read more
