Food was amazing and the service was great too. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend this restaurant

Dona Timos Mexican Restaurant, 8836 Sierra Ave., Fontana, CA. Just went there for my first time on Friday and it was delicious. They have a full bar and everything is made from scratch. The food was terrific and so were the margaritas! It appears from the outside it's a hole in the wall,, but inside it was much bigger than . Very reasonably priced. Oh, and the owner makes homemade strawberry and carrot cakes to die for this is a hidden GEM!

Highly recommend. I've been many times and everything is a hit! Food and drinks are delicious. My go to: agua frescas (all are yummy - guanábana is my fave.) Michelada with modelo is a must! Enchiladas are a dream. My friends love the chicken fajitas, omelettes, etc. Strawberry shortcake cake is delicious! Same for the banana or pumpkin bread. Service is excellent - ask for Dominique or Ariana. They are both amazing and helpful. Looking forward to more visits here! It's a great no hassle place to eat. Plenty of parking, great prices, lovely people - and most importantly delicious meals and generous portions! Bring your family here - you will not regret it.

Great food. Chips are actual fried tortillas de maíz. Waitress has been sweet and tending both times I have come. First time I got the Carne en su Jugo which was delicious (next time I'm not going to put the sautéed onions in), This time I got Los Tres Carnes (shrimp, chicken and beef). Both times have been great. Also love their salsas and especially their handmade tortillas de maíz. A great place!

My family and I love it here. The food is amazing and never misses. Everything on the menu is delicious. From the margaritas to the salsa, you can tell they they use fresh ingredients. Everything has so much great taste. The ambiance is perfect, you can choose to sit in the bar area where there are tv's to watch sports or in the regular dining area if you want a little less noise. And the service is top notch... the family who owns and operates this restaurant really knows what they're doing! We love it, they make you feel like part of the family. We always feel so welcome. It's hard to find a good restaurant like this in Fontana. Highly recommended. Thank you read more

I am kicking myself for not knowing what a hidden gem I had here in my own backyard for so many years! This lovely family is serving honestly the BEST homestyle AUTHENTIC Mexican food I've ever had. And it's NOT just your atypical Mexican food finds (don't worry, they have plenty of the known favorites) the chefs, Maria & her husband, are cooking up UNIQUE plates of homestyle cuisine y ou will NOT find anywhere else. Thier son who waits the tables and is behind the bar is also incredible and attentive and carries his pride for his families second home, and it shows in the food, the service, and the ambiance. Oh yeah!, this place is BEAUTIFUL, and they play a the baseball and basketball games! SAY LESS!!!!! This will be the place I take my family, friend's, and anyone I meet for any occasion from now on. I can't wait to taste everything on the menu and I can promise that anyone that comes here will taste the love this family puts into every bite. I'll be back soon! read more

Came here for dinner because we were craving fajitas. The service was good but the food was lacking. They provide free shrimp broth with chips and salsa Steak and shrimp fajitas: 6/10 shrimp were small veggies still on raw side but meat was good (portion on small side) Frijoles de la olla: 7/10 under salted Shredded beef enchilada: 8/10 sauce was good but meat was burnt (they fried the shredded beef in a pan before they rolled it in the enchilada) would have been 10/10 had the meat not been burnt Pineapple agua fresca: 8/10 Chips and salsa: 8/10 (on the spicy side if you enjoy spice) read more

Very nice service and workers. However my food was terrible! My rice was overcooked. My sweet mole chicken breast enchilada was terrible! Mole was not at all good and chicken looked as if someone chewed it up then rolled it into my enchilada and there was like a hard wire looking piece in my rice I don't know what it was . I didn't say anything we paid 64$ and I will never go back. Queso fundido was good that's about it. I felt sorry for the nice lady who served us and didn't say anything. read more

El lugar no está tan mal. Un lugar típico de Mexico, me trae recuerdos. Un dueto con música de antaño. Y la mesera amable. Hasta ahí íbamos bien. Mi esposo y yo ordenamos menudo y refresco de Coca-Cola en botella de vidrio. Nos trajeron consomé de camarón, cortesía de la casa. Solo lo probé, pero no era algo que me apetecía comer. También nos ofrecieron chips and salsa mientras esperábamos nuestro menudo. La salsa para los chips estaba algo bien. Llegaron los bowls de menudo y nosotros contentos, para mi sorpresa apenas pusieron el menudo frente a mi, percibí un olor muy desagradable. Casi me atreví a decir que el menudo simplemente no estaba lo suficientemente limpio antes de cocinarlo. Más bien parecía un menudo que estuvo en el cooler varios días. Nada fresco. La verdad no me agrado para nada. Le pedí a la mesera que retirara los platos y me ofreció el menú. Pedí un plato de chile relleno con arroz y frijoles lo cual estuvo mucho mejor. Pero el plato de chilaquiles que mi esposo ordenó tenía los trozos de los tortilla chips quemados y demasiado grandes para llevarlos a tu boca. Si, así literal quemados. Honestamente primera y última vez que probamos ese lugar. Aunque los precios y el servicio están muy bien, la comida no supero mis expectativas. read more

I was there enjoying them with a beer and good conversation. We were taking our time eating and enjoying our drinks; the aguachiles were not the only thing on our table. While we were still eating, someone from the kitchen came out and asked if he could take our plate. We politely said no thank you because we were still working on it. A few minutes later he came back and insisted on taking the plate, saying something along the lines of, "A clean table makes a consumer buy more," but the way it was said came across as rude and made us feel rushed. If the plate had been mostly empty, with just a couple of pieces left, I would have completely understood. But that wasn't the case -- I had only eaten about 2-3 shrimp out of a dozen. I shared how I felt, explaining that I understood clearing finished plates, but we were clearly not done. His response was dismissive and he walked away. The food had potential, and the aguachiles had good flavor, but the service experience left me disappointed. Sometimes giving guests a little time to enjoy their meal, conversation, and drinks makes a bigger difference than having a perfectly cleared table.

El Chilitos Mexican Restaurant

I cannot believe I have never written a review for El Chilitos Mexican Restaurant. It's our go-to…read morefor Mexican take-out and yes, we order take-out once or twice a month, which in our house translates to "no cooking." What I always order (and I'm boringly consistent) is Two hard shell shredded beef tacos with rice and beans. The tacos always arrive with the perfect amount of meat, crisp lettuce, and a tasty amount of cheese. The shell stays crispy and never turns into a soggy tortilla which is a win! Rice is fluffy and well seasoned. The Beans are creamy, savory, and basically soul-warming! I can never finish the beans the portions are good. The Hubby gets the carne asada burrito, which is so huge it could double as a pillow after a long day. He swears it's delicious and I've "sampled" a bite and yes, the flavor is there, very satisfying. Chips and salsa come complimentary even with to-go orders! It's around $32 for my taco plate and the carne asada burrito is a bit more but you're getting a lot of goodness for your bucks. We always order take-out, and somehow - somehow - the food lands back home still warm. Magic? Maybe! We've never eaten in so I can't speak to the dine-in vibe. Reason being it is a tiny restaurant but it always looks clean and has a sitting area for to-go orders. My only tiny gripe when we call to place an order, there are moments where I'm on hold while the staff seem to have a full-blown conversation. Ten minutes later, they remember I'm on the line. It's not a deal breaker, just a "huh, okay" moment I file under "worth the wait for the fix." Bottom line: Expect satisfaction from El Chilitos. It's my dependable, no-surprises, "I'm craving comfort Mexican food" go-to. Consistent quality, reliable flavors, and a taxi-cab of a burrito. My pictures are horrible but I promise to eat there again and share more!

Tacos El Guero

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and they were pretty busy…read more I ordered carne asada tacos (can't go wrong with that) and chicharon tacos. And my boyfriend ordered a chicharon burrito. When ordering the lady asked my boyfriend if he was okay with cilantro, onions, rice okay in the burrito and he omitted the beans. One thing she never asked is we wanted hotsauce on the food. Because when I got my tacos and he got his burrito, it had hotsauce. I think this is something they should ask if you want when you are ordering. What if someone is ordering for a kid and they don't like hotsauce. I say this cos I don't like hotsauce. My boyfriend had to bring to back and they have new tacos with no hotsauce. Another thing that is a hit or miss here are the chicharon. Our chicharon was both crunchy and soft. I noticed it depends what time of day you go and you also know by how much chicharon they have left (you can see it on the display). I like how they have the toppings in a little bar where you can get (hot sauce, pickled jalapeños, cilantro and onions). It is a small restaurant. They have some seats indoor and outdoor. And they even have a tortilla lady in the corner making fresh tortillas.

This little hole in the wall taco shop is one of those spots you almost don't notice unless someone…read moretells you about it, but I'm glad I found it. The tacos are really good and packed with flavor, and the burritos are just as solid, big portions that actually fill you up without feeling overpriced. You definitely get your money's worth here, which is hard to find these days. One of the best parts is the salsa bar. They have a good variety of salsas, and all of them taste fresh and delicious, not watered down like some places. You can really customize your food depending on how spicy you like it. The only downside is there's no kids menu, so it might be tough if you have really picky eaters. But if you're just looking for good tacos, good burritos, fair prices, and a taco spot to grab a quick meal, this place is definitely worth checking out.

With the shredded lettuce, cotija cheese, sour cream, and avocado. It had the perfect mix of freshness and crunch To drink, I tried cebada for the first time and I'm officially a fan It tasted like a mix between horchata and chocolate milk... such a good combo If you love tortilla soup, RUN don't walk ‍ it's a limited-time special! The tender chicken, crispy chips, and toppings like avocado, purple onion, cotija, and sour cream made it an absolute dream The barbacoa was super tender and flavorful, served with pasta salad, beans, and handmade tortillas everything tasted homemade and comforting The pork tamale was giving soft and tender on the inside with a slightly crispy, pan-fried outer layer. And they did not skimp on the filling...lots of meat and potatoes The machaca had so much flavor I loved the veggies and potatoes, paired with beans and rice. It was hearty and satisfying The ceviche was bright, fresh, and citrusy right up my alley! I would've loved a little more spice, but the homemade tostadas took it to another level Quesabirria tacos? Always a yes cheesy, tender, flavorful meat with consomé for dipping... say less paired with cheesy beans and rice = perfection For dessert, I got the corn elote soft, sweet, and delicious. I also tried it pan-fried and it gave caramel brûlée vibes so good! This spot feels like you're eating a home-cooked meal made with love and intention Great service and ambiance. "Las cosas buenas toman tiempo" and you can definitely taste that here

I ordered the combination pho and the meatballs had good flavor, but the noodles were way too overcooked. The noodles would break upon trying to pick them up. The broth was also okay but not my favorite. I felt that it tasted heavily of clove and star anise that it was almost sweet or heavy. I also ordered the chili oil wontons and they lacked a bit of flavor. I also wish the chili oil was a bit stronger in taste and spice. I usually use a spoon or two for pho but for this one, I used 4+ and it added no flavor.

I ordered a plate of beef & broccoli, steamed buns, and orange chicken plus a side of rice. Definitely had to take some home. The flavors were true to Chinese dishes. Things to note: Beef & Broccoli was a bit heavy on the oyster sauce for my taste, so it was a tad saltier than I'd like. I eat plain, but it balances out with the rice. My husband likes more intense flavors so it was perfect for him. Once the dish cools though, you do notice some of the sauce congeal because of the cornstarch. The orange chicken is not what anyone expects when they hear orange chicken. It's not crispy. Instead, it's slightly chewy because it's thinly cut chicken, but makes up for it with a great depth of flavor. There's much I wanted to try on the menu. I'll have to come back!

Haven't been here in years until recently and let me just say this is one of the best places in Fontana possibly the inland empire now, definitely an upgrade since a couple years back. The owners son Junior has came back in after years of being away and has given the dining experience a breath of fresh air and without losing the restaurants comfortable atmosphere especially on weekend nights which is what now keeps me coming every Friday or Saturday night with my wife. Not to mention amazing service and great music and ambiance. keep up the good work Dona Timos and if your lucky enough to catch junior there make sure to ask him for the Secret Menu items and specialty drinks for the night! read more
