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.

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

I want to say there had been at least 10 orders before I finally set foot into the restaurant, only because my nephew's birthday was being celebrated there. The place looked like it had been newly remodeled/refreshed. It was nice and clean inside, but as lots of restaurants did during and after Covid, they ended up using some of dining space for excess storage, so there was a little section that was a bit cluttered, but that didn't bother me. I was there for the food (oh, and a birthday party...hahaha!) The food here is solid, and consistently delicious, even after they changed owners. Some of my favorites that I order on repeat: Orange Peel Chicken Honey Walnut Shrimp Salt & Pepper Pork Chop Salt & Pepper Fish French Style Filet Mignon My only gripe, is when it changed owners, the prices jumped quite a bit, so I had to cut back on the frequency of my orders. When I was shopping around for catering party trays, they were higher than all the others. Still though, the food is that good, so while I may not be willing to spend the money on party trays, I'll continue ordering from here for regular meals.

It was also nice and quiet, with the music at the perfect volume, not like some restaurants where it's so loud you can barely have a conversation. We were seated in less than two minutes, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The food was delicious. I ordered the Elegant Butter Chicken and asked for it mild. It ended up being a little spicier than I expected, but it was packed with flavor. One thing to note is that everything is ordered separately. The butter chicken (around $22) came in a medium-sized bowl, and the plain Fragrant Basmati Rice (about $8) was a separate order. For my drink, I had a Moscow Mule. Instead of the traditional copper mug, it was served in a martini glass with a dried fruit garnish, which was a nice presentation. It tasted great as well. The only downside for me was the price. Our bill for two people came to about $148 before tip, which felt a bit expensive for what we ordered. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try, especially if you're looking for a nice date night or don't mind splurging a little for a quality meal and a pleasant atmosphere.

Have been curious what a deep dish pizza tasted like...I'm more of a thin crust person…read more After watching some cooking channel, I became curious, the deep dish pizza was calling my name...at least for a single try. I'll try any kind of dish once, right? How else does one expand the eating spectrum of delight? This place, Pie Trap Pizza, offers three different versions of a deep dish pizza. You can get a whole pie or a single slice of whatever they have ready. I ordered a 6-slice rectangle one. Three different deep dish to choose from... 1. Pepperoni 2. Lodi Dodi...the one I ordered 3. One other that I can't remember.... But go there...they serve the traditional round thin crust pizza and have other great menu items. My deep dish has pesto and rich pizza sauce, and other great spices. No meat. I highly recommend fulfilling your deep dish cravings here...do what I did and at least try it once. It was wonderful. I can see why folks in Chicago and Illinois love this style of pizza pie. Check out my three pictures of the Lodi Dodi. 1. The whole pizza 2. One slice on my plate 3. What it looks like half way through...lol. This is a well run pizza joint with great people taking care of you. Cheers!

The spicy hummus had a good balance of chick peas and tahini ... not overly sesame flavored but a hint of nuttiness.
