    Chorizo tacos
    Sandra V.

    Earlier in the week, I tried their chorizo breakfast tacos and an agua fresca. The chorizo with egg tacos were good, I loved the cheese in them. They had crunchy chips on top. The salsa , I usually prefer the green sauce but I liked their red sauce more. The agua Fresca was refreshing. There is booth seating only inside. Outside there is more seating in addition to table seating. It's a beautiful garden with decor. They also sell gummies candies and pastries inside. Parking is limited. The bus stop is right on the corner where their sign is posted.

    Tacos Don Chai delivers an elite breakfast experience in the East Bay. i personally copped the chilaquiles verdes, breakfast tacos and a agua fresca the vibe throughout this small spot makes you feel the Mexico ambiance, hints of Oaxaca. i opted for the outside seating, as it was a beautiful, warm Thursday in Martinez. service was quick and efficient, and we waited were seated outside for our order my highlight were the sauces, home made, which were the cherry on top for literally all my dishes: they have flavor, spice and taste to my breakfast breakfast tacos (9.5/10) homemade tacos, packed with your choice of protein, onion, cilantro, potatoes and eggs. please add sauce!!! chilaquiles verdes (8.5/10) perfect portion of chilaquiles, my choice of green sauce, and it came with eggs, onions and cilantro. chips could've been crunchier agua fresca (9/10) melón drink, refreshing and complimented my meal overall, i love Tacos Don Chai, and i will come back for some of those Quesabirrias they got fr. thx, Chai

    First off I was so excited to try this place. I've heard about it, but when the opportunity came for this yelp event, I definitely knew I needed to try it out. Well I noticed there's not a lot of parking. That's the only downfall but it's definitely worth parking across the street or on the side of the small building. Because the food has so much flavor it's so delicious. I ordered the three chorizo breakfast tacos. I also got a large Agua Fresca soursop! It had so much flavor and it was so refreshing! The workers are really nice, and greeted you with smiles! The smells from the kitchen were amazing. When you walk outside to the patio area, it's beautiful. There's like a running water fountain a bunch of different tables. It's very unique. They do bring out your food and your drink to you as well which was really nice. Today was my birthday so it was a great little free birthday treat!! I definitely will be back to have more tacos! If you have not come here, I recommend stopping by!! I'll be back! Thanks again Tacos Don Chai.

    If you are in the Martinez area, then find this hidden gem Tacos Don Chai! Parking lot is small with street parking limited, but that's the only drawback. John helped me this morning, hooking it up it with some chorizo breakfast tacos with hot sauce. Crispy, flavorful, and best of all filling! Perfect amount for breakfast. Music playing the background, TV to watch, various spots to sit solo or in a group, Tacos Don Chai is a spot to chill and enjoy some big flavors!

    I went here for the yelp event and had a good experience. It was easy to find, the restaurant was clean, and I really loved the decor and inviting atmosphere. I got the breakfast tacos, and they were absolutely delicious! I hadn't had breakfast tacos in a while, so this was the perfect opportunity to enjoy them again, and they did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall, I had a great breakfast and a great time. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a delicious breakfast and a pleasant dining experience!

    Al Pastor Quesataco & 2 Brisket Quesabirrias
    Jeremy L.

    A friend and I stopped by Wednesday morning around 9:30 AM for the Yelp Elite event. This was actually my third time at Tacos Don Chai, and I can confidently say that the only thing that keeps me from visiting more often is the drive. For the event, we received three breakfast chorizo tacos and a soursop agua fresca, and we also ordered two Brisket Quesabirria tacos and an Al Pastor Queso taco. The food was solid overall. I think the meats could use a bit more seasoning or marinated longer, and while the breakfast tacos were good, I would've liked more chorizo (I may just be biased against breakfast tacos and burritos since it's mainly eggs). The Brisket Quesabirria stood out with its tender, flavorful meat, and the Al Pastor remains a reliable choice from what I remember and heard from my friend. taco. What really stood out this time around was the customer service. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. They greeted us warmly, took our order, brought out our food, checked in on us throughout the meal, offered us drinks, and made sure we were enjoying our experience. It never felt forced; just thoughtful hospitality that made the visit more enjoyable. The variety of salsas is another highlight, adding plenty of flavor to an already solid meal. Combined with the friendly service and the cozy outdoor patio seating, it's a spot that's worth the drive every now and then. I would place them at a 4 star, but the customer service experience really brought them over the hump.

    Breakfast burrito (egg, bacon, chorizo, pico, onions, potatoes, cilantro)
    Breanne B.

    Online ordering was a breeze and included delectable pictures of each item. Text communications were great and this location was easy to find. Clean with inside and outside seating. Picked up my order 2 min early and it was ready to go. Welcoming and friendly staff greeted me and offered me salsa options. This was a big breakfast burrito for having no rice or beans and it was still very hot when I began enjoying it. I customized it with bacon and chorizo, cilantro, onions, and fresh pico. I was in heaven eating this thing and hurt my stomach by going too fast! Fresh eggs and jalapeño that had the perfect bite along with the salsa verde had me happy and satisfied. Good quality and tasty tortilla also. So flavorful. Thank you greatly I look forward to coming back.

    Catering
    Evangelene G.

    We had Tacos Don Chai for a graduation party. I would definitely consider them for a party! The catering offers tacos (3 kinds), salsas, beans, rice and agua fresca. If I'm in the area for work, I'll definitely check out their restaurant since I can't give a fair review of the restaurant, but their catering is spot on!

    Asada taco
    Amanda T.

    I ended up ordering the breakfast burrito and an asada taco. The burrito just wasn't really my type of breakfast burrito, but that's more of a personal preference than anything. The asada taco was ok. :)

    One asada and one pastor quesataco.

    I came here for the first time yesterday and as I drove over the bridge, I knew I had to come back again. Yesterday, I tried their pastor and honestly, for this gringa, it was the best pastor I have had outside of Mexico. John, the person who rang me up, was so kind. Their outdoor patio seating is also super cute. None of those flimsy plastic patio chairs. They have high quality tables and chairs. This place is a gem.

    Mark A.

    The chorizo and egg breakfast tacos are things dreams are made of. The tacos are rich and the habanero salsa adds just the right amount of acidity to balance the tacos out. The service was friendly and fast and their patio is the perfect place to enjoy a morning and afternoon meal. I'd go back in a heart beat.

    I was looking for a place to eat in Martinez and stumbled upon Tacos Don Chai, the reviews looked good so I decided to try them. When you enter the place they had good music playing, the two gentlemen working the register and distributing the food were real cool and down to earth. The food came pretty quickly and the prices are good, the hot sauce was good, not watery and the meat was seasoned and soft. It was a good burrito for sure ,I will definitely come here again.

    Cute little taco spot with delicious breakfast food and aqua Fresca. Staff is super friendly and has ample outdoor seating for lots of space. Smells good and they offer an assortment of toppings. Def come here for a good breakfast

Driving home from a pool day I was super hangry and needed tacos. Pulled up Yelp, sorted Mexican food restaurants by distance and found La Primavera. They were super busy at 5:30pm on Saturday night. It took about 20 minutes to get my take out order (my dog was in the car so I had to take out although I get a feeling they would not have minded if I brought her inside). Two tacos, one steak, one chicken, and a chicken enchilada with rice and beans. Ate the tacos when I got home and they were just so perfect. I can't even describe how delicious they were (and no, it was not just because I was hangry). I just ate the enchilada meal today for lunch and wow, just wow. So authentic, so on point. I'm in love. For the ambiance - it's set up like a diner inside with booths and counter seating. Not very big but the outdoor patio offers a lot of additional seating. Great price point for the quality of the food. I found my new favorite and I don't see myself eating Mexican anywhere else. Singing "Nothing Compares to You" to my enchilada, with my mouth full, as I devour it. And my dog is mad at me because I greedily would not give her a bite.

    Very long wait time. The employees pick and choose who to have good customer service with. Very…read moredisappointing, when you see that they treat some people better than they treat you.

When I lived in Martinez half a year ago, me and my wife didn't have the best experience. The people working were friendly enough. The decor was very homey. It was just the food. She got a Carne Asada Dinner and I got an Enchiladas dinner and neither of them had that much flavor. I ordered a drink there. It must of wasn't good because I don't remember it. Either that or they didn't put enough booze. My recent experience was definitely way better. I was also a little worried because our table had more than 10 people. I just knew at least someone was going to have their order messed up somehow. Except there wasn't. Everyone's food was fine. My food was fine. I loved the crispiness of my Taco and the sauce with the Enchiladas. Everything just felt like it had more love. Even the Margarita's were good. I definitely remember that because we ordered a pitcher. So ultimately I'm just going to chalk it up to La Tapatia just having an off day when I originally went. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

But they consistently deliver kind customer service. Additionally, the Owner is ALWAYS on site, and his wife and young daughter also pop in regularly. He's frequently checking in with ppl and knows all the regulars by name. All these combined make for an absolutely excellent restaurant.
