    Chile Relleno plate
    Leanne V.

    I hadn't been to this restaurant in years and recently remembered about it after seeing it on Instagram. The service is really great the staff is very friendly. I ordered the pina agua fresca and it was delicious! I also ordered the Chile relleno plate. The chile relleno was delicious. I was a little disappointed that the plate didn't come with rice, and instead came with salad aside from the beans. Beans were ok. Overall a great experience. Restroom was very clean. I definitely recommend this little gem in Covina.

    This is mecican restaurant kinda a hidden gem. give driven past it many many times, not noticing it. I was recently invited to this restaurant for Sunday brunch. They offer champagne flights (three for $23) and terrific Mexican entrees. They have a pretty extensive menu. I tried their Menudo. The menudo was very tasteful, came with all the usually accompanying oregano, cilantro, lemon. My only dislike was the menudo was a dark color. I'm used to a light colored tripe, otherwise it was good. I akso ordered a side shredded beef taco which was amazingly perfect and fresh. My sister in law had the machaca breakfast, which she loved, and ate it all !!! Chips n salsa were also very good and served fresh. The customer service, once i was sat was exceptional. They quickly took our order, brought our drinks n food, and did not ignore. The staff kept checking to.make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. I will definitely visit again !

    Came for breakfast There had posole no flavor. Meat was hard and prices are exaggerating for a small bowl of posole no flavor whatsoever. The server Sebastian was great though.

    Delicious food, great friendly service, and really nice decor! Lots of great vegan and vegetarian options as well.

    New promotion!

    It gets better and better everything, we go. And I just love the employees and the new menu items!!! Had the albondigas tonight and the walnut champurrado and I'm officially in love!!!

    Blended margarita

    This place has always been a mainstay for me as far back as the 90's. It's an oldie but goodie with consistent flavors and service! For the last several Sundays I've door dashed their menudo and cafe de olla - always *chefs kiss* the best for a Sunday breakfast. Today we dined in - for the first time in awhile - and it was like coming home. The restaurant is festive with lots to look at and homage to cultura from floor to ceiling, left to right. I had a blended margarita and the enchiladas suizas - all well done, flavorful, and good! Past dishes I've had include the molcajete which was always piping hot, flavorful, and complimented by hand made tortillas. Service was excellent. I felt well taken care of and got to visit with the owner Lilly for some table side chit chat. We will definitely be back in person!

    Terrible customer service skills

    I had a very disappointing experience. I asked if my meal would be spicy and was told it was not, but when it arrived it was too spicy for me to eat. When I politely mentioned this, the server repeatedly insisted it was not spicy. I simply wanted to move on and leave. Additionally, I ordered a kids' meal that included a soda per the menu. The soda was flat, so I requested water instead, yet I was still charged for the soda. When I asked about the charge, the server told me "You know what? You need to leave. Just go." with a nasty stank face and attitude. I remained polite throughout, especially with my children present. As someone with restaurant experience, I understand issues happen, but the server's response felt unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome.

    The oregano and chili powder came in.

    Heard good things about this place so we decided to check them out. We ordered a menudo on Sunday. It was watered down and the condiments they sent them in small ziplocks that I didn't feel comfortable eating them. The cup had more water down soup than the meat and hominy. We ended up getting sick from it. It was pricey to be honest. The employees do need more training . Sorry to say won't be coming here or recommending it to anyone.

    Mujarra Frita
    Joannie T.

    Had the tamarind mojito, so tasty! I had Mojarra Frita, it was a large fish and very tasty also. Salsas were authentic, homemade tortillas. It was a very authentic family run restaurant. The family was very sweet and very appt that we can came in. Everyone should come and taste their food and feel their hospitality.

    Mojarra Frita
    Alex B.

    From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly, making it clear they genuinely care about their guests. I ordered the Mojarra Frita, and it did not disappoint--it was perfectly crispy, served piping hot, and generously meaty. An absolutely delicious dish. I'll definitely be returning for another great meal!

    Great food. Excellent place for party. Excellent service. On July 12, we had a surprise birthday party for my dad.

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness. Fonda Don Chon has high quality, flavorful and delicious food. It is my FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

I went to go eat Mexican food not to get lectured. Another time three of us went to the restaurant. There were many open tables .

Your party can fit at that table. I was trying to eat Comfortably. The waiter Got mad at me for asking for a bigger table . Once again it was at approximately 2:30 pm there was plenty of room. The waiter was so upset he was complaining that others have fit why not you guys. I said you know what I don't want to bother you any more so I told my party let's go. The waiter got mad again as we were walking out and he said in Spanish este gente esta fregando. It's too bad some of the wait staff have an attitude problem.

We had the taquitos de papas and the surf and turf fries, both "with everything." Portions are generous. The fries were crispy, covered with a mix of really good (not canned-tasting) nacho cheese and a spicy avocado salsa, plus a very flavorful and moist carne asada and plump, juicy, tasty shrimp. Delicious! And the taquitos de papas were crispy and filled with seasoned mashed potatoes and topped with lettuce, crema, tomatoes, jalapeños, and more. The interior was unremarkable and kinda sterile but sparkling clean and the vibe was friendly and relaxed: everyone there was enjoying themselves and the food. Also, the a/c was not fantastic, so if you like a cooler spot when you're eating you might want to get the food to go (but get! the! food!). As we were leaving, I got a lime and cucumber aqua fresca for the road and was so glad I did. Really wish we lived closer and could go back more often! Highly recommend!

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.

In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.
