I came back hoping for the same great experience I once had, but this visit was a letdown. The food was noticeably less than average, lacking the flavor and freshness I expected. The service also wasn't great -- not very friendly, not very attentive, and it felt like we were more of an inconvenience than guests. Overall, the quality just wasn't there anymore, and it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. read more

Don Chico's is a large facility with easy access off highway 6 and 3. There is lots of parking around the building. They handle a lot of people at one time and move you along quickly. The facility is older and has a dated feel. The team here has done a nice job at adding Mexican decor to make it feel welcome. The facility is clean and comfortable. Our waitress was outstanding. We had a large party that arrived in waves. She was right on the orders, refills and food delivery. I found the chips to be a bit thicker and crispy. They had a bit of a greasy taste. The salsa was thicker and tasty. The regular salsa has a slight kick. My wife ordered the shrimp quesadilla. She really enjoyed the dish. Everything was very fresh and nicely cooked. I ordered a side of beans and rice as it did not come with my Enchiladas Supremas entree. The beans were very smooth and not over cooked. The cheese topping was a good accent to the beans. Nice creamy-mild flavor without a dominating bean flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Very moist and flavorful. The enchiladas supremas was a nice dish but not outstanding. I really liked the bean and cheese enchiladas. They had a good Mexican flavor. The darker brown rancheros sauce was delicious. It accented the bean and cheese taste well. I found the chicken to be a bit tough and stringy. It was a bit difficult to cut and chew. The chicken seemed to have a bland taste as well. The ground beef enchilada was okay. The meat was finely ground and had more of a non-seasoned taste. The beef was just of there and didn't grab your taste buds. read more

Love the tacos de asada tacos. I do wish the limes were cut bigger though so they were easier to work with and squeeze.

My go to whenever I'm home from college the staff is always friendly, service is quick, and the food never disappoints. Their margaritas alone deserve 5 stars. read more

Use to be good. Quality has gone down. Ordered a fajita and shrimp were like popcorn shrimp and only had a few. Taste was bland and stuffed pepper dinky. This place has gone downhill. Go to the Monterrey grille in Mishawaka for awesome medican food. read more

Arrived with a friend a few minutes after 11am on a Saturday. We were immediately seated and brought chips and salsa. The salsa is some of the best I've had. Nice flavor and heat. Shortly afterwards our waitress showed up to take our drink order. I ordered a bottle of beer and my friend ordered the Long Island Ice Tea. We looked over the menus and it didn't take long to decide what we wanted. The artwork inside is very nice. The booths need some care, however. The one across from us on both sides was ratty looking. Our waitress returned with our drink after a few minutes and took out order. I tried to order the lunch Chimichanga on the menu, but was told they are no longer doing lunch specials, dinner specials only. Then why is there a page in your menu stating you do? I let it go and order the Chicken Chimichanga without beans on the side. My friend ordered the Chicken Fajitas with corn Tortillas. We ate the chips and salsa while we waited. My friend said his drinks looked weird but tasted good. The place begun to fill up very fast. A few minutes of waiting and our food arrived. I couldn't believe the amount of food my friend received! That was enough for 3 meals. His only complaint was the tortilla shells were stuck together and tore when trying to separate. My Chimichanga was excellent! The rice was kind of on the bland side. Bathrooms were clean. I did pass what looked like a closet on the way to the bathroom. The door was open and I could see a pretty nasty looking shower. My friend informed me the place was once a truck stop when he was a child 40 years ago. Our waitress was on point and we never had to flag her down for anything. read more

We love the atmosphere and food ....service is always top notch also. Izzy and Omar make you feel like you belong.

I have missed this place!! Although everything I've tried at This establishment has been darn good, my go to dish is the Quesadilla Patron!! Slices of meat, veggies, cheese, crumbled chorizo and more, piled on a tortilla that just won't close. Mouth watering just thinking of it!! The chips and salsa are good as well. I come by whenever I'm in town! Go by and give it a shot!! read more

Food, service, drinks and atmosphere great date place great for large groups families and just a great night out. Love it all!!!! read more

Best fajitas and chips and salsa around! My husband and I always choose this as our Mexican food choice and they never disappoint. Good quantities as well for the price. read more

Rude owner and staff! Bland soggy food told the waitress I was not paying for the fajitas because of flavor and texture. She said "you must not like Mexican food" I was talking to her in Spanish because I'm from Mexico then she brought out the owner I told him the same thing. He too was rude and proved to yell "goodbye Michoacán" the place in Mexico I'm from in a belittling way as if you are going to embarrass me for telling you your food is bad I'm from Mexico I would know. Save your money for Taco Bell you'll be more satisfied. read more

Stopped in here for lunch today, and it totally hit the spot! I've been in a couple of times previously, and I always try something new. This time I got the classic Arroz con Pollo and let me tell you it was the best version I've ever had! If you're a fan of queso, they load you up with it on the dish in addition to serving you a healthy portion for their lunch price ($8.99)! I definitely will be back again to try some more items but at least I know I have a dish to fall back on! read more

Best Mexican Restaurant around! Food and service is alway great and the food portions are plenty!

I ordered the same burrito every week for over a year now. I get it home and it 1/2 the size as norma! I call them and the owner calls me a lier!!!! omg these ppl are just jerks. No matter how much of a loyal customer you are, the minute something is wrong they immediately go into defensive mode! Never again. read more

It was the closest to real Mexican Food, scents being in the area. Salsa was not up to par though. The beans seamed a little on the sweet side but the rice complemented it well, specially with the roll up style enchiladas smoothed in melted red "chili" ( they dont know what real Chlie is ) and topped of melted cheese. The Enchiladas where enjoyable and well presented. on the other hand the service when we first walked in was not welcoming at all. the gentleman had the worst attitude. Literally looked at us assumed how many where going to be in the part and threw our menus on the table and said " here " and walked off. our waiter made up for it all along with the food. it was nice to have some food that was close to home back in New Mexico. P.S. Chicken Fajitas Where sizzling hot! but soooo.. good, well seasoned, and presented.! read more

Me and 2 friends stop to eat at Don Chico's last week. I ordered crispy french fries, after getting the fries they where soggy and not lukewarm. The fries should of never been removed from the kitchen.The garbage is a good place for them. read more

The food on its own probably would get 4 stars, but the service was a two at best. They are overly rigid with their rules, with no flexibility. They don't even have tacos on the menu, but if you ask, they have chicken or ground beef tacos. But if you want steak tacos, you must order 3. You will not get chorizo tacos, so don't even ask. We waited a long time for our check while the waitress seated several other tables of people, got them chips, took their drink orders. Then when she finally gave us our check, we then had to wait at the front to get someone to check us out. All in all, as others have said, the customer service at this place is not up to par. We will not be going back. read more

Read the reviews and thought let's give it a shot. Just passing through the area and stopped in for dinner. The parking lot was full and they seemed busy yet we were immediately seated in the bar room. This place is quite large and can accommodate big groups. One gal sat us and chips and salsa was brought quickly to our table. Our waitress was a little slow getting our drink's together. Our large plates of food came quickly, was hot and very tasty. Definitely will stop again when in the area. They will be closed from July 1st until July 8th (2019). read more

The food was pretty yummy! One of the better Mexican places in the area! The service usually is pretty good.

Love this restaurant! The food is always good takeout or eat in seriously if you're in Kendallville try this place out!

Yea, it's excellent. I got the enchiladas suizas and they were incredible - Mexican comfort food. Great salsa and queso, but they were out of Tecate. Highly recommended. read more

After avoiding it for ages because of a very bad meal and margarita, I was talked into going yesterday. There was dried food between the tongs of my fork and the waitress snatched the unwanted lemon from my tea right in front of us all when I told her I didnt ask for lemon! I was warned by friends with pics of a roach on the table once and I should have took that as a lesson to never go there. Who knows what happens in the kitchen! read more

I am in the car business and eat all over the tri-state area and I can tell you that there is not a better Mexican restaurant in northern Indiana. The food is consistently great as well as the service you receive from the owners and wait staff. Fresh chips and salsa and the best queso I've ever had. Did I mention they serve authentic Mexican beer and have meals starting at only $5 at lunch time? Need I say more? read more

It is super yummy. The beans and rice were good. My sis had a bday there and they sang happy birthday and had Sopapillas and ice cream!

Best sit-down place in Kendallville! I don't think I've met someone who has had Don Chicos and hasn't loved it. Definitely has that standard Mexican restaurant vibe, but you can also feel that sense of hometown familiarity of a close-knit community. You can't go wrong! read more

Don Chicos don't you think you should remove the skewer from the stuffed poblano pepper before severing? read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Kendallville! Not only do the waiters speak Spanish, they give you large portions! I also love how they bring unlimited chips and salsa to you. The atmosphere is definitely Latin and the look is unique! Not to mention that the food tastes very good as well! My personal favorite is the fajitas el patron which has chicken, shrimp, beef, and chorizo which is a Spanish sausage. This dish is a little on the saltier side monetarily, rounding up to 13 dollars. All in all, this restaurant is really good and is definitely worth a try if you are in or near Kendallville! read more

If you get a good waitress / waiter is a good experience if not expect to spend 2/3 hours there zzz

For me, most American versions of Mexican food are the same, as I lovingly refer to as "slop on a plate", basically the same rice, beans, and tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream just maybe with a different meat or sauce combination. That being said, this is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. We frequently eat in Auburn and Fort Wayne. This restaurant has a nice selection, fresh ingredients and good flavor. The staff is friendly and the chips and salsa are always fresh. The atmosphere is ok, prices are ok. I give this restaurant 4 stars considering it being a casual restaurant and the price point. read more

This is a very clean environment! Our food was quickly served. The waiter was extremely polite, he made sure we were doing good and didn't need anything. They had fantastic food! It all came out hot and wasn't cold. Highly recommend! :) read more

This place used to be a car dealership. You walk in and immediately are greeted with a friendly staff. You're also greeted with a faint smell of motor oil. The place looks very clean and the service is extremely friendly and very very quick. My order was hot and very very tasty. The place wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. Lots of employees standing around with nothing to do. I can never figure out why Mexican restaurants are so stingy with their sour cream and guacamole. Everything seemed reasonably priced. I will definitely be back. read more

Love Don Chicos! I used to always order the same things but lately I've been wanting to try new stuff off the menu... Have not been disappointed!!!! All-time favorite is still the steak fajita though! It is always clean and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Probably the best sit down family restaurant in Kendallville! read more
