    Great $1 dollar tacos!!!
    Hexx H.

    Come down on Thursday to Sunday for $1 tacos!! They are big filling tacos!! The food inside is good and they have some beers!! Come down they are out from 5-10pm

    a plate of food on a table

    I was very impressed by this place. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly! The seasoning was just right! The same with their limenade drink! Even their complimentary salsas were impressive! My sister ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp and it was really good! It was served with a sauce that was made up for mushroom and bell peppers. It was different that any other bacon wrapped shrimp we've had. I'm looking forward to going back to try other things on their menu!

    Never again!!!

    STAY AWAY NASTY ! way tooooo salty and they were cold! The waitress that was working was coughing all over the tables never brought a refill and we were the only ones there for her not to help us!!! Restaurant was fairly clean as we were looking around!!! Didn't eat paid 20 bucks for nothing !!! And nope i didn't leave a tip!! HERES YOUR TIP .... Treat your customers more better and make sure there food is at least warm....

I love it, specially the atmosphere, it's a sit in quiet restaurant which is a lil unusual, normally there's live loud music at these restaurants which is okay, but at times we just wanna sit in and enjoy a game on tv.

El ambiente es tranquilo, comes agusto, y está muy delicioso. El servicio es excelente, la señora es muy amable. Pero la comida es mi favorita. Se puede ver tele mientras comes muy agradable, las aguas frescas de Ciruela está... ufff bien buena. Siendo Tuxpeña, puedo decir que la comida está deliciosa. La campechana con Ostion- caliente es mi favorita. El robalo zarandeado... muy recomendado. Gracias Rincon de Guayabitos #2 por su amabilidad y sabrosa comida!

    Extremely friendly servers, but slow service as well. We waited a little over 25mins for our food,…read moreand it wasn't even worth the wait. We ordered the American breakfast, which is supposed to come with: eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. Instead we got eggs, bacon, potatoes, beans and a pancake that was a mix between a cookie and dry corn bread. The orange juice is freshly squeezed with fresh SEEDS included. The over easy eggs were swimming in oil as well as the potatoes. Everything was just oily. They advertise their daily agua frescas on a hand written menu but when we ask for horchata they said "not today". Should've gone to the burger joint down the block instead. Waste of time and money. I'm giving it 2 stars because of good coffee and friendly servers.

It's the type of place that I would be stoked finding it, if I was on a road trip driving from California through Texas (and through New Mexico). It just has that certain quality of authenticity or how you would imagine a Mexican spot like you see in the movies or something. I came in for a late lunch so I was the only one in the restaurant so the service was pretty quick. The menu is full of those combination classics that you would see at certain Mexican restaurants. I ended up ordering the three tacos dorados combo. I thought the food was great. Because it wasn't busy at the time parking was easy to find on the street. I parked right out front.

Perfect sweetness , just need a little bit of creamer. They have complimentary chips and salsa served freshly hot as always. Salsas has a goos spicy kick. They have a good selection of breakfast menu, I ordered the chorizo con huevos because you cannot go wrong with that. It comes woth scrambled egg and beans, I also added a side of avocado. Tortillas are homemade , you can choose between corn and flour. I am a corn tortilla girl. The restaurant has a great ambiance with traditional music playing. always packed with families dining in especially on weekend. The server always came by and checked on us. very nice lady and I got to practice my Spanish a little lol. Parking can be a little difficult because there are other businesses next door. you street parkings are available.

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.

    I have been to Fonda don chon two times and both times I didn't have a chance to order any food …read more The waiter spoke Spanish to me which is fine but he got irritated that my adult children did not speak Spanish . He lectured me as to why my children didn't speak Spanish . If I work and my children's mother doesn't speak Spanish was explained to the waiter . The Reason wasn't good enough. I went to go eat Mexican food not to get lectured. Another time three of us went to the restaurant. There were many open tables . The waiter places us in a table that barely fit 3 not counting plates when the food was ordered . I told the waiter I wanted a bigger table . He said other times 3 people have fit at the table . Your party can fit at that table. I was trying to eat Comfortably. The waiter Got mad at me for asking for a bigger table . Once again it was at approximately 2:30 pm there was plenty of room. The waiter was so upset he was complaining that others have fit why not you guys. I said you know what I don't want to bother you any more so I told my party let's go. The waiter got mad again as we were walking out and he said in Spanish este gente esta fregando. It's too bad some of the wait staff have an attitude problem. I've heard the food is good at Fonda don chon . I guess I'll never find out .
