From the food to the service! Everything was outstanding. I got the red menudo without grano and also an order of their green chilaquiles with asada. Not one bad bite in either of the dishes. 10/10 will definitely be coming back for more. read more

I always come here and the food is amazing. However review is based on my experience today. We made sure to try to be there before 9am since I know Father's Day can be really busy , we drove over 1 hour and We got there, there was only 1 party ahead of us. After waiting for 1 hour they kept on calling so many party's of people who would get there and only wait for 20 min. We got tired of waiting so my husband asked a blonde lady and she replied "oh they haven't called you guys" you guys can sit in that corner table. We sat and waited another 10-15 min and they not once came to ask us for our drinks or even acknowledged us while everyone else was getting attended too. We walked out and they didn't even notice we left lol we had too go my kids were starving at that point and it didn't seem like we were ever going to get asked if we wanted anything to drink, i really liked them but after today I don't think we will be back. I hope they improve the way they manage their list , again food is amazing just today's experience wasn't it. I wanted my husband to have a good breakfast for Father's Day and we ended up eating fast food read more

Really nice staff & good decent breakfast Yes I could recommend it this place for anyone. They do close 8am-3pm read more

I really wanted to enjoy this place a 2nd time, but the service today was a big disappointment. We came in to order tamales, something that is usually ready to go and ended up waiting over 45 minutes. For tamales, that's pretty crazy. We also ordered champurrado to find out after it was out. We weren't the only ones either. Several people around us were also waiting unusually long for their orders, and a few had to repeatedly ask for basic condiments that honestly should be offered without needing to request them. I understand that quality food can take time, and I respect that. But the service experience should match that quality. Unfortunately, it didn't today. I hope they can improve their system because the food deserves better service behind it. read more

This place was AMAZING!!! Food was soooo good!! Super delicious and gourmet. The lattes were yummy and in the cutest mason jars. The wait was a bit of a wait but this is only there SECOND weekend being open . It's totally understandable and totally worth it. The staff was friendly and a bit off. Again same reason...they just opened. We had to ask for silverware and one latte was missing but they are new and learning. Everything else was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. Nick and Johanna are great and you can tell they are really trying to make everyone's experience a wonderful one. They put a lot of love and effort into their food. Highly recommended 10/10 read more

We were really excited to try out the Matchata, but overall it was a 3.5/5 for me I was hoping for a stronger creamy consistency to really stand out. We paired our drinks with both a savory and a sweet plate. Everything was okay, though I was expecting a bit more flair from the huevos con chorizo. The pancakes, on the other hand, were light and easy to cut into. The Berry Berry combo was a nice highlight with its balance of sweetness and creaminess. read more

We ordered the red chilaquiles w/ birria & the green chilaquiles w/ carne asada which were both good. I would say both sauces are spicy so if you don't like spicy food I would not recommend it. The only downfall is that the restaurant is hot so it makes eating spicy food a bit uncomfortable. read more

Don Chon Menudo - Red Chilaquiles w/ Birria, Green Chilaquiles w/ Carne Asada, & Iced Cafe de Olla - Mexican Near Me - Pacoima, California

We've always liked supporting small local businesses, but experiences like this need to be shared so the community knows what to expect. My mom ordered a menudo plate right before closing, and when we got home, it was cold and mostly bone with very little meat. She called right away and spoke with a lady named Joanna, who was polite and offered two replacement plates to make things right, which we really appreciated at the time. When we finally came back about a week or two later, they refused to honor what was promised simply because Joanna wasn't there. Instead, we had to pay again for a menudo plate, which felt unfair considering the situation. We understand mistakes happen, but what matters is how a business handles them. This experience was disappointing, and it shows a lack of consistency in customer service. Hopefully management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that customers are treated fairly no matter who's working that day. read more

My Family Loves this place! Where else can you get pancakes and menudo! Pancakes are so Fluffy and full of flavor. My go to coffee is the iced cafe de olla. Service is great, the servers are super atentive and sweet. The Vibe is amazing! read more

I'm so happy we have this food spot in Pacoima. I had the Chilaquiles divorciados, with egg and added carne asada. The red and green sauce are good and spicy! The meat was well seasoned, my mom had the menudo, she enjoyed it and she's a picky Mexican food critic LOL, she loved the homemade tortillas. Our waitress was sweet and made sure we were okay with our orders, the inside is super clean and cute. I will definitely be going back!! read more

best menudo in the valley! it's our go-to weekend spot if you want some nice rich caldo. we haven't tried much beyond the menudo because it's so crave-worthy, but we have tried the birria, which was super delicious! really nice portion of meat. the service is really good, everyone is super sweet and helpful! there aren't many tables inside so expect a wait on weekends. it's also rare for there to be menudo blanco late on weekends as it usually sells out, so get there early if you're hoping to try it, but if they sell out, the menudo rojo is just as delicious! read more

Nick and his family have added a new menu concept which I have to say was amazing! The presentation, quality, and taste all are 10/10. They have exceeded my expectations and I had to bring my whole family to get an authentic great experience and they also loved the menudo, hand made tortillas, and other breakfast options they ordered. The inside is cozy and patience is important as any breakfast spot is very common to have some wait times, but the wait is definitely worth it. The service is amazing and they make you feel like family! Recommend whoever wants to try this GEM to go and enjoy! read more

Great food good service! Will be back soon the menudo was delicious and the cafe de oya was amazing!

When we arrived, we asked for a table for 3 people and we were told it was going to be a 10-15 minute wait. We waited an hour. When we were seated, I asked the waitress if the chilaquiles were spicy and she told me that the green sauce chilaquiles were and I decided to go with the red sauce chilaquiles because I don't like spicy food and MAN they were very spicy. I couldn't finish the chilaquiles because my mouth was on fire. The coffee also tasted burnt. The ham was too salty. The place is very small, and I'm not really a fan of overcrowded loud breakfast spots so I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Was recommended this place by a friend and decided to try it out today! I was so impressed by all that we tried! We had the Chilaquiles Divorciados with Chorizo and they were amazing! The red ones were super delicious and had an amazing flavor. The green ones were just a little spicy if you like that. We also tried a chicken mulita and it had an amazing flavor. We also had the French Toast with strawberries banana and Nutella. It was superrrrr delicious. Usually French toast can taste bland and too eggy but this French toast was the opposite of that. They bread itself had a cinnamon flavor and it wasn't too sweet and it was perfect. We also tried the Café Con Chata. It was yummy and not too like some horchata drinks tend to be. The service was excellent and we never had to wait for anything. Everyone was super sweet and attentive. The restaurant itself is small but this didn't matter. We still had space in there without feeling like it was super crammed! I will be returning and recommending to others! read more

Don Chon Menudo - French toast - Mexican Near Me - Pacoima, California

The reviews for this establishment was totally wrong!!! I took my wife and daughter for brunch at 11am and needed up leaving at 12:30pm, WOW!! Is right. For being a fast food restaurant they got it totally wrong. To owners: Number one priority is, should be is customer Service. "You don't tell your customers to wait outside without taking their names down, or a number", that's an argument ready to happen between customers"!! We waited half, an hour outside and one hour when we were done. WOW! We ate One Menudo, One order of Chilaquiles in a bowl!!"what"?, with egg, an order of pancakes and Three drinks. This is fast food "right" This is totally a One and Done place. Good Luck if you go. Maybe just Maybe they were like Four employees short staffed??? Final - your establishment needs a Fly fan, windows need blinds or curtains and same rule should apply to every customer to wait outside. We had two people hovering over us and people looking watching you eat and bees and flies inside. For Menudo I highly recommend El Ranchito Restaurant in Reseda. read more

READ THIS BEFORE COMING HERE They are disorganized and logic doesn't make any sense. I'll take you though my breakfast experience . We arrive with a party of 4. We clearly see tables open, they are dirty but a wipe down takes only a few seconds. So we wait a couple minutes while she "wipes the table" or so we thought. Another party who just arrive got seated immediately? Anyways, we came to the table that I have originally eyed out before getting sat downs, to only realize that it was the same exact table that was NOT WIPED DOWN. The picture provided is after some hand wiping of my own. Much dirtier before. The wait time is atrociously long, they are so disorganized. There was people before us that just ordered drink and it took them 10 minutes to just receive them. We notice how a lot of people who needed service ( getting the check, needed menus, drink) where not prioritize and instead, staff focus on menial activities like a single napkin that was on the floor, sitting costumers (while not attending the current ones) and other stuff that made no sense. It was ONLY, when we were discussing about leaving and taking our business else where did we 'suddenly' get menus. Keep in mind, most staff workers are working at a very slow, calm pace, while there is clearly costumers who need support As for the menus, everything seem kind of over priced for what you get. I think they sort of try to justify their prices by naming their items in a quirky way like a rustic burger spot that names their fries 'sharables'. The drinks are served in small mason jars which makes it hard to justify 7-8 drinks with no refills. Also, I KID YOU NOT, while waiting for our drinks for nearly 10 minutes , there was a old costumer who raised her hand for help, a server made eye contact for a second or two, and instead took an order to a table all the way in the back, and took a longer path to avoid the older costumer. FURTHERMORE, even after taking the other costumers order, she keeps on ignoring the older lady, while serving new costumers?? While consistently ignoring this older costumer. At this point I am wondering why this place has such high reviews? Were they incentivized? Family bais? Maybe I just came at a bad time? Regardless, this does not excuse everything that has happened (better said, lack of things that happened). Unfortunately for us, we ended up leaving becuase there is no way it should take 25 minutes to get just coffees. And after being ignored and constantly being place last for costumers that are incoming while ACTIVLEY, ignoring their already seated costumers. We just had to walk out. This place is unacceptable. I belive the reviews are incentivized or are not the real full picture of this place service and experience. I would honestly avoid this over price, waste of time restaurant even with all the influencer hype and bias reviews. read more

I've eaten here a few times, but they've honestly keep making mistake every time I go. I thought maybe the first time it was a one off, just a busy day and they forget certain things - over the weekend I ordered chilaquiles with sunny side up eggs, got scrambled eggs.. okay, no big deal. Then they gave us our posole with pink pork in the middle, without tostadas. I asked for salt, got limes brought to me instead? I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt because I like their ambiance and mannerisms, so I made an extra order to go - checked the bag in the car, forgot the consomé, at that point I just went back inside and asked for a refund on the to go food and left it there. I wish they would get their act together cause they really have potential, oh well. The devils in the details read more

Don Chon Menudo - Chilaquiles Divorciados. I added Chorizo. Truly a must try!! - Mexican Near Me - Pacoima, California

The place itself has a nice atmosphere and wasn't too busy when we visited, which made me hopeful for a good experience. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow and not very attentive -- even with only a few tables, it took quite a while to get our drinks and extra sauce for the chilaquiles. The green chilaquiles were okay, but I wish they had a bit more sauce, sour cream, and beans. My coffee also came out warm instead of hot. Overall, the food had potential, but the service could definitely use some improvement. I really hope they can work on being a bit more attentive because the place seems like it could be great with a little more care. read more

This place was amazing but now the wait , the lack of service is absolutely awful. We waiting over 40 minutes only to be told they forgot to put in our order. Then REFUSED to give me my money back because they were firing our order now. Ridiculous. They wouldn't even give me an ETA of how long more I'd have to wait. DO NOT COME. Terrible service. read more

Also, food was out right away not much waiting. read more

This place is right by my house. I really loved the food. The only reason I give it a 5 star review is because I want it to go mainly to the FOOD, AMAZING! I love spicy so I got chilaquiles and my son got pancakes. drinks: el volcancito (coffee), and a glass of milk. Total $50. Customer Service needs a lot more help. If you don't mind waiting for a while, knock yourself out. It is a very crammed place with very little space and only very small time frame of them being open. I want my community to do well, but organization and structure on how to approach customers has to be better. But I have hope for this little restaurant to thrive in that area very soon! read more
