    Saw this place on Yelp, and was amazed on the great reviews this place received. Of the twelve reviews, eleven were 5 stars, with one being 4 stars. Looks and sounds like a great place to eat at. So with eagerness & excitement, we added this place to our, must go to list. So we showed up. Small place, 4 tables, and a counter for about 5 or 6 more customers. Simply decorated. Menu is whatever is showing on the wall, and pictures on the front window. We ordered the huevos rancheros, and a carne asada burrito. The huevos rancheros was a little different from what other restaurants serve, no tortilla under the eggs, eggs cooked well done, sauce was a little thick and spicy, tasted kind of like roasted chipotle? and it came with sauteed bell peppers on top. Carne asada was a little on the small side, meat was a little salty, salsa was good. Other than that, both dish were OK. Definitely a home cooked taste and feel to it. Couple of things that really put a smile on my face, was the freshly made corn tortillas, slightly thick, soft, and hot, totally awesome. Also, the lady working the dinning room was super nice, attentive and helpful. The best way to describe this place, is like going to your best friends house, and his mom cooks up a meal for you. The meal was a good old fashion home cooked meal that was good, wasn't 5 star quality, but good enough to satisfy your hunger. With the fresh tortillas, and great service, I would come back and try other items.

    As I walked in it was very quiet, I was greeted by the owner, super polite. I ordered burrito de pollo mojado en salsa verde, chilaquiles and a quesadilla de asada. Made to order, didn't mind the wait (15 min). Got home and everything was very flavorful and delicious, only thing would be to please put more chicken on the burrito and less rice. Will be coming back.

    Order over the phone for pick up during COVID-19.

    Mex Express is still open! You can place an order over the phone for pick up to still enjoy their Mexican food! All employees are wearing masks and doing their best to minimize contact with customers. Family owned and great place to support during this time!

    Honestly this is as close to authentic as you'll ever get. The owner is also the cook and she makes everything on the spot. I'm her relative and I see her work hard and she makes me delicious food. Thank you to everyone for the amazing reviews because she truly deserves the attention she's worked for. Enjoy your experience

    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.

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.

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 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
