    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!

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.

    Let's check off the key things on the list:…read more Service 5 - due to both the excellent service provided by Jackie, other wait staff, and very good bar staff. Food 3-5 - we've had mixed experiences, but mostly very good. There aren't any off menu requests accepted. One cannot replace ingredients. One can only remove specific items from a menu choice. Don't even ask. Apparently the chef's policy is absolute. Ambiance 4-5 nicely decorated and designed. Has a high end feel that is unusual for the AV. So why the 3 stars? One single experience. My wife asked the server (Jackie) if it would be possible to get a side of sauteed mushrooms. She said probably not as it's not permitted by the chef. We asked to speak to the manager to express our disappointment. When Jake showed up, before we uttered a word, he stated that it's just something they don't do, so no to our request. Then he turned and walked away. There was no dialogue. It was a one way conversation. In essence, we and our request were dismissed. The experience was incredibly off-putting. It was unnecessary to respond to a patron's request in that manner. Totally unacceptable. I write this review to memorialize the experience for others, because it won't matter to the owner/chef/management. It seems, judging by their total lack of response to other reviews, good or bad, that it really doesn't. Typical dinners we've had run a tab of $150-200 (including tip). We have visited 1-2 times a month for the past two years. We have brought friends and family on several occasions, generating additional per-visit revenue for the restaurant. Again, this doesn't seem to matter. So, sadly, we're going to have to take a leave of this place. Too bad really.

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.

    Following our epically failed experience at the NEW Coach's location in Palmdale, we came here in…read morehopes of enjoying Coach's like we used to. The wait staff was pleasant enough, but all the additional charges are out of hand! I had ran into this issue here, previously, as well as at the NEW Coach's just earlier today. We ordered one dozen wings. We asked for the six flats of the order to be "mild" and the six drums to be the spiciest they have (which is not spicy at all). We asked for them to be extra wet. My wife likes ranch with hers, while I like blue cheese. When the ticket is presented, there are up-charges for ALL FLATS and ALL DRUMS, a charge for the blue cheese, a charge for ordering the wings wet. Seriously?! First of all, I had spoken to a manager at this location previously about the up-charges for separating the flats and drums to different flavor profiles. The manager agreed that I should not be charged for this and removed those charges. In discussion with the manager at the NEW Coach's, earlier today, the same consensus was relayed. STOP CHARGING FOR THIS! Look, I could understand if I was ordering six or twelve wings and asking for all of them to be drums or flats. When one orders twelve wings, which is generally equal amounts of drums and flats, why am I attempting to be up-charged twice for having one sauce on all the flats in my order and another sauce on all the drums? Why are you charging me for another dipping sauce on an order of twelve wings? You give one dipping sauce for an order of six wings. You think one dipping sauce is compatible for an order of twelve? You charge me for asking for our wings extra wet? The only reason we ask for them that way is because the wings are nearly dry if you don't. And, the little dollop of sauce that came with the wings was hardly worthy of being called "wet". I had to ask for more sauce because there was not enough to even consider them being viewed as wet when they arrived to the table. This place is going downhill; quick, fast, and in a hurry since the transition to new ownership. Coach's used to be a place we could enjoy going to and count on their menu staples being available (if they weren't sold out!). The fried green beans were in high demand. So much so that they were sold out when we went, a few times. Their pretzels were also a huge hit! The new owners removed them from the menu. I know they have had numerous requests to bring them back, but they couldn't care less. The food has gone downhill, the wait staff is not as lively and personable as they used to be, the extra charges are ridiculous, and the new owners don't give a rat's a$$ about their customers; they only care about trying to make money (while removing a couple of the best selling items on the original Coach's menu). Make that make sense! Remove sell-out items when your only focus is about making money. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is because the waitress was halfway attentive. Good luck with your future, as you continue to lose previously loyal customers!
