    Delicious cafe de ollá, and chilaquiles verdes con huevo y cecina
    Mel. ..

    It was my first time coming to Birrieria el Michoacano and it will not be my last. The service is friendly and welcoming. We got seated immediately and had coffee on our table within minutes. The restaurant has music playing (jams, btw) but it's not overly loud. The food was amazing. The arroz and frijoles taste homemade. Don't sleep on this place!

    This is the Michoacán style enchiladas de Enchiladas con Pollo

    If you want real authentic Michoacán food you need to come here. By far the best I've ever had. First time coming here and will always be back everytime I come to town. And they make tortillas hechas a Mano! You can tell they really put effort into making good.

    We wanted to order some shrimp tacos and some other seafood plates. They said thats only available after 1pm. No joke, it was 12:50pm. The waitress said she would check with her manager since it was only 10 minutes till 1. Manager said thats their rules. Seafood after 1pm. Sooo we ordered nachos and chilaquiles. Very basic. Food was bland. We weren't willing to wait another 10 minutes. Half ate the food and left. My family and i will not be returning. Not because of their "policy" but because the food was so BLAND. How can anyone mess up chilaquiles and nachos!!

    Very good food, great prices. Unique selection of foods from Michoacán. Service is not bad, okay, could be better.

    So bomb!

    I want to give this place five stars but the birria wasn't that good considering this was the specialty. But everything else was sooooo good I would definitely come back for the michelada and breakfast.

    You either like the menudo or not? Well, sounds like good birria reviews, though the birria from Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, is amazing, too.

    The food is not worth the price, the service is non existent, and they charge you extra for any little thing.

    Fonda Don Chon is an authentic Mexican restaurant located in Shopper Ln. In Covina near the…read moredowntown. Parking lot across the restaurant. 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.

    Went for a Sunday buffet. Be prepared to wait. We bought some fruit juice prepared next door at…read moretheir Togo section. I had the watermelon which was refreshing considering the hot afternoon. The inside was cozy with painted walls. Their selection were varied but limited seafood. Their shrimp dishes were okay verging on the chewy side as they were sitting there. The carnitas was very flavorful and so was the beef stew. You could get as much guacamole as you want. Their cake was awful, very grainy. I replenished my watermelon drink with more watermelon. The servers were very friendly and attentive.
