    Beef tamales with black beans
    Maricar D.

    Everytime I come back here, I forget how large the plates they serve are! Enjoyed a nice combinacione plate (picked the #11 2 enchiladas with beef( with a small bowl of soup (chicken tortilla soup). Came here and shared a plate, and we both were feeling filled from it so we have to-go for leftovers! My partner remarked the tomato sauce for the enchilada is on the sweet side. P.S You can definitely ask for a mild salsa for the chips and salsa they give you in the beginning! I always like the serene calm eating here in the booths, however there is also the bar seating you can choose which is more lively. Happy hour specials are usually only at the bar as well!

    Enchiladas plate (good size to share)
    Eliseo R.

    Dinner here last night was alright. I found the salsa to be very watery, which I thought was strange, and it was a tomato pasty flavor for the chips. I also found the enchilada's red sauce to be too sweet for me and didn't really eat much. However, the refried beans are very delicious and are super appetizing and appealing to look at and eat. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food given. I do wish the enchilada came with steak as the beef in the enchiladas felt very dry for me and it gets plain to eat after a few bites. The staff was very kind and nice and took our orders quickly.

    fajitas and buffalo wings
    LaChell S.

    I stopped in solo for a quick happy hour lunch at Don Chato and left full and happy. The steak fajitas were flavorful, the buffalo wings had the perfect kick, and the albondigas soup tasted like a warm hug. The chips and salsa were warm, fresh, and so good I could've sipped the salsa straight lol. The service was good too.

    The carne en su jugo was delicious! Off the grid and if you sit upstairs you can see a nice view of the hillside. Staff was friendly and service was great. Can't wait to bring my friends and family here.

    Absolutely Yuck

    I wish there were less than one star so I could give this place zero stars, because it absolutely deserves negative stars. When we walked in the waitress was somewhat pleasant, but still felt a little forgetful. Spinach tomato enchilada was baby puke in a corn tortilla with more baby puke on top. Soups were tasteless and at the end. Guacamole was Barf, bitter awful sad. The ambiance is traditional and fun but the food was rubbish. Uncooked tomatoes. We even heard the tables next to us and behind us complain. Never coming back here

    Sizzling Fajitas, Combination Tacos

    The best Mexican food in Palmdale! The employees are very welcoming and Inside was sparkling clean. The salsa is a bit spicy and so addicting. I ordered Sizzling Fajitas and Combination Carne asada tacos. Please try them. You won't regret!

    While driving through Antelope valley today my husband decided he wanted to get some breaded fried…read morezucchini and looked up places that made them. That's how we wound up at Schooners today. Food: Super large portions. Not many healthy choices. We ordered the fried zucchini. It had a nice seasoning but it was too greasy. The caprese salad with vinaigrette was soggy and beyond disappointing. Figured that was the healthiest choice on the menu. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites. The loaded baked potato was swimming in melted butter. A lot of butter. The bacon was actually the star of the plate. This place is where you come to share several plates. Service: Great. Jamie T. was our server. She was super friendly and had such an upbeat personality. She checked back with us several times to make sure things were going well. Ambiance: Typical sports bar scene with big screen TV's on the walls. Plenty of parking.

    Food: A+ HUGE portions! If you want to get your grub on, go here! There's enough to share and then…read moreleftovers too! Service: A. The service was almost impeccable. We sat at the very NFL Playoff bar, and our bartender got to us as soon as he could with a smile. The only regret was clearing one of our glasses away a little too quickly as it was my water I like to have alongside my adult beverage. Ambiance: A+. This place was hopping! People at the bar were extremely kind and offered to move over for us so we could sit together. The team spirit here was entertainment in itself! Dietitian Dorothy's tip: Definitely split the dishes here. Some of them (nachos, fries) are BIG enough for one person to eat for a week!

Got the Wells drink, Pineapple, Cranberry Whiskey, for $5 during Wednesdays or $4 during Happy Hour (Sundays through Wednesdays from 6pm to 9pm). The Pineapple, Cranberry Whiskey was very descent for the price and strong. Got another Wells Drink, Cranberry Vodka, for $4 during Happy Hour. The vodka was very powering, but we didn't mind. Also got the 6 pieces Bone In Wings with Fries for $11 on Wednesdays. We chose the Buffalo and Honey Garlic sauces. The Buffalo sauce was better than then Honey Garlic sauce. Would not get again since the wings were flavorless. The fries were hot and crispy, but too salty. Also got the Nachos Supreme for $7 during Happy Hour. We added beef to the nachos for another $3. The nachos were very filling and delicious. It again was on the salty side, but paired well with our drinks. Every day of the week they have a special going on. Would return for their Happy Hours, which were Sundays through Wednesdays from 6pm to 9pm. Their drinks were strong. Would return to try their other Happy Hour drinks. Would get their Nachos Supreme with beef again during their Happy Hour for $7 + $3. Unfortunately, the nachos took over half an hour to get to our table from the time we ordered it. We dined for a couple of hours and only saw one host/waitress/bartender and one server. Our host/waitress/bartender was amazing and always had a smile.

As you drive up it is a stand along building with plenty of parking on the far back left side of the parking lot plaza. The interior is very unique, dark back ground with blue lighting with many wall art pieces and TV's you can view within any seating options. They have bar top seating, table and charges and booths. Plenty of seating for small and large parties. As you can see from the menu pictures below they have many food options depending on what you in the mood for. We stopped in during lunch to test out their wings, we heard they were very good, they did not disappoint. The lunch special is a great way to sample their food, we each had our own wing lunch special, I had the 10 piece, you can get two choices of sauce with the 10pc only, my brother had the 8 piece, each order comes with a drink and your choice of fries or onion rings, great price for the wings. The wings had great flavor and were fair sized, I was very impressed with the "hot" buffalo sauce, very tasty with a small kick, I would recommend a try, I also ordered the spicy teriyaki,it was ok but my brother ordered the spicy lemon pepper that is also a hit and a must try. The french frys were criss cut and good sized portion as well. The staff was friendly, we had a great interaction with the bartender (Ash) who brought over our drinks. Overall, a very good experience, we are also looking for a spot to watch the World Cup games and Ash mention that they were going to support the games, we will be back next week to take in the games and more of the menu.
