I think we were here many years ago. It's been a while. We got here about 5:30pm on a Friday night. Staff told me it'll take about 20 min for us but he looked around and asked us if we are okay with patio seating. We accepted it and it's less noisy than inside the restaurant. Less than 2 minutes a staff gives us utensils and napkin, and menu. Couple minute later our server (an older gentleman, Luis, I think). cake and greeted us. He's very energetic and friendly. Another staff (with neon color short) is also very friendly to ask us if we need anything. Few minutes later our server took our order. Again, very energetic and excited to serve us. Food came about 10-15 minutes. Very fast. Plate is huge, a food wide! Humongous amount of food, very delicious. We are very impressed with the service and the friendliness of the staff.

Came here to celebrate my grandmother's 89th birthday recently. Despite being a rather large party, the staff was very accommodating. This place does get very busy and after trying the food I can see why. Y'all... homemade tortillas that are sooo good!!! And the prices are very affordable! Ordered a supreme molcajete to share for two and definitely recommend this dish. They have different molcajete options so it just depends if you want more seafood, beef, or chicken. For us the supreme molcajete was more than enough food. Plenty of shrimp, cheese, nopales, steak, and chicken. Now it does come with roasted peppers, which you can either eat or take them home and make a salsa with them. The agua fresca de piña is really good. It's not overly sweet and a perfect alternative if you want a non alcoholic drink. Overall, this place has a huge variety of menu and beverage options. Very reasonable prices and most importantly the food is delicious. Definitely will be back for margaritas with my girlfriends!

Fonda Don Chon's hype is genuine and well-earned. The buffet ($17.99 - 9am to 3pm) is hot and fresh. The food selection is good-quality and delicious. I arrived Thursday (2:30PM). Shockingly, no wait. The buffet selection is delicious. I selected fish, shrimp ceviche, carnitas (shredded pork), chile verde (pork in green sauce), enchilada, beef soup, rice, and beans. The fish is thick, hot, and hearty. The pork is juicy and tender. The enchilada's cheese stretched across whenever pulled. And the beans are cooked perfectly; it's extremely satisfying. I happily devoured everything. Service is extremely quick, welcoming, and professional. Our server (Francisco) charmed the entire table. Francisco is extremely helpful! Francisco regularly checked-in on our table. Francisco earnestly answered all our questions. And Francisco helpfully, kindly updated us about the buffet's status. [Quick Note: I noticed the buffet lamps turning off around 2:50PM. That's when staff members on break began to also eat the remaining selection. If interested in the buffet, definitely arrive before then.] In addition, Fonda Don Chon is beautiful! The location's ambiance is welcoming and festive. The location is very clean; latin music plays brightly on the speaker; and the wall art is gorgeous. Overall, Fonda Don Chon is a unique and memorable experience. The buffet is an extremely good value. The food is fresh, hot, and generous. I sincerely recommend. Fantastico!!!

Oh. Mah. GAWD. That's the thought bubble that popped over my head the first time I tried this place. I can't believe I've never been here until this week! My mom and I got lucky with seating; the last time we considered going in, there was an hour-long wait to get in. And no wonder, given how good the food and service were! Within ten minutes of seating, we ordered and had our plates brought before us: my mom got enchiladas while I had my pick of the buffet bar. The next fifteen minutes were spent in near-complete silence as we struggled to shovel as much food as we could into our mouths, while simultaneously trying to savor it slowly, because we wanted that much to enjoy every last bite! My mom loved this place so much that she brought my dad two days later. The text she sent me read, "Your dad is happy," followed by a photo of him enjoying his red snapper. (And my dad can be a grumpy man when it comes to eating at restaurants, so this is probably the highest compliment when it comes to food.) Mark my words: we'll be back!

Stopped by for a margarita happy hour - it was excellent! Had some chips and the salsa was very mild but tasty. The food menu looks very extensive -- will have to return to try them for lunch or dinner. Prices are reasonable and the plates I saw being served to other tables were substantial. Plenty of street parking available, as well as a lot across the lane. The wait staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Will definitely be back soon.

Outside: They have a very nice outdoor patio area with heaters and lots of tables!! Inside: It's pretty big in there, 2 different rooms. It's cute in here too! They do have public restrooms. Food: We all got the brunch buffet. And oh my gosh it's soo good! We loved everything that we tried and we are totally going to go back. They have a lot of different options and they constantly were cleaning and refilling the food! The buffet is soo worth it! Service: Our server was so sweet, he stayed on top in the drinks. All the other servers looks great too!

This spot never disappoints, the food is consistently good and well worth the price Flavorful and fresh with so many choices you gotta make this a go to Sunday brunch buffet With the usual Mexican dishes plus seafood the place is always well staffed with our waiter being very on top of it we had no wait Time on anything coffee tortillas anything we asked for seemed to appear before we even asked. It is ver very clean with staff cleaning the buffet area in between each person serving very friendly even the busboy was kind and friendly to us I think everyone should come try this place
