    Their food is good their mac & cheese is good. Their service is good. The people are friendly Ambiance is good I'm

    A huge dead bug.

    I found a dead bug in my pico de gallo salsa, and what was even more concerning was the employees' response. Instead of treating it as a serious food safety issue, they acted like it was normal and implied it happens when they chop the tomatoes. That level of complacency is completely unacceptable. I won't be returning, and I strongly recommend others stay away from this establishment. Food safety should never be treated as something routine or brushed aside.

    4pc Fire-Grilled Chicken Meal
    Vicky W.

    It was a Saturday. The line was expected to be long. But the staffs were still friendly and patiently taking our orders. Chicken quality is still very juicy and tender, only the chicken breast was a bit dry. Family enjoyed it very much. We did not dine in so there was not much dining in experience but the seating area is quite nice and spacious.

    Guacamole Chicken Burrito
    Miriah S.

    Quick service, nice cashier, ok burrito. The restaurant was busy but clean. I got a coin from the cashier to use the restroom and that was clean too. I tried the guacamole chicken burrito and that was meh. Next time I'll stick to the classic chicken burrito which hits the spot and is less expensive. The burrito was supposed to have large pieces of chopped chicken but instead it was shredded and kinda hard. The flavors weren't really blending well either with the guac and cheese. At least the pickup went well!

    When I opened the taco, the chicken on the inside was cold and the tortilla was burnt.As you can see in the Pictures

    Double Chicken Tostada Salad
    Yaritza M.

    BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! I hate going to places so close to closing time but I was really hungry and surprisingly the staff was so nice about it! I felt welcomed in and not even rushed when looking at the menu. The pretty girl at the counter took my order and even said she'd help me out since I was STARVING. She recommended a double tostada and it was just soooo good. Will definitely come back to this location!

    Classic Double Chicken Chopped Salad

    Came in today to try the new chopped salads , i went with the double chicken chopped salad. It' was great definitely worth the price . The service at this restaurant is good, very welcoming .They greet you the moment you walk in. The place was clean definitely made me feel cozy and relaxed while i enjoyed my meal on my lunch break. will definetly be coming back

    Chicken avocado burrito
    Hazz B.

    Horrible. Worker claims burrito does not have lettuce and it had lettuce all over it even though I asked for no lettuce two times in a row after ruining my order. Worker are so rude. Somebody needs to train them correctly to listen to customer and not argue when they are told how they wanted their order.

    The smallest chicken breast I have ever seen, an over cooked wing and a salad with no dressing.

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 recently visited Fonda Don Chon Mexican Buffet and unfortunately left feeling very disappointed,…read moreespecially regarding their policy for young children. The service was just okay, but what really bothered me was being charged $17 for my daughter, who is only 2 years old. She barely ate anything, just about two pieces of watermelon and a small bite of concha bread. For that amount of food, I found the $17 charge completely unreasonable. When I questioned the charge, the waiter explained that because the food was put on her plate rather than being fed to her directly by us, they considered her to have eaten from the buffet and charged the full $17. He also mentioned that management is watching the cameras to determine whether children are eating from the buffet. Honestly, I find this policy excessive. I understand that buffets need rules to prevent people from sharing food or taking advantage of the system, but charging $17 for a 2 year old who ate practically nothing seems unreasonable. There should be some sort of reduced price or reasonable policy for toddlers, especially when they consume such a small amount of food. The food may be worth trying, but because of this experience and the way the situation was handled, I would think twice before returning. A $17 charge for what my 2-year-old actually ate felt ridiculous and left a very negative impression

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.

I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.
