Food is delicious, best chilaquiles in the SFV Hands down nice and crispy & spice is real! Third time there and still not disappointed by anything I’ve tried! Definitely will be going back with friends/family!

Awesome customer service very friendly and very patient unfortunately I can’t eat gluten and it’s very hard to find a Mexican restaurant after my diagnosis whose knowledgeable and helpful regarding it but the lady working here knew and even double checked with the chef on what I could order! The food was delicious I wish I had taken a picture before the started eating but I was to excited 😅 100% recommended my husband got the menudo and he also said it was delicious

Went 8/11 (during the week) around 9:30 am and there was no wait time. The server/waitress was so kind. I cannot wait to return to try other meal options. We really loved the drinks. I found this place via social media.

Dear friends,

I'm still buzzing from my recent visit to Don Chon Cafe! It truly exceeded all expectations, leaving me with a dining experience I'll be raving about for weeks to come.

The star of the show for me were the green chilaquiles with chicken. The vibrant green sauce was perfectly balanced, the chicken was succulent and tender, and the overall dish was a symphony of textures and flavors. I could practically taste the freshness of the ingredients. I also sampled the red chilaquiles, which offered a delightful contrast with their zesty, spicy kick – a perfect complement to the green version.

And the waffles? Oh, the waffles! They were crafted to perfection, perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The topping selection was incredibly generous and the execution was flawless. They clearly understand how to create the ideal waffle experience.

Beyond the exceptional food, the service was equally outstanding. Joanna and Nick were absolute gems; their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made us feel incredibly welcome and valued. And I must give a special shoutout to Diana, the true artist behind the counter. Her matcha and espresso drinks are legendary! Her expertise and passion for crafting the perfect beverage are evident in every sip.

If you're looking for a memorable dining experience that combines exceptional food, impeccable service, and a vibrant atmosphere, Don Chon Cafe is an absolute must-visit. It's the perfect spot to celebrate with loved ones, enjoy a delicious meal, or simply treat yourself to a well-deserved culinary indulgence. I wholeheartedly recommend making a reservation – you won't regret it!

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.

Ps to store owner reply : I am not asking for perfection nor 5 star restaurant experience. When writing this review I take these things into account, however I still think it’s unacceptable to lack some sort of humility. Never did we ever get reassuring our things where coming out, never did we get the passion of serving in a family run restaurant, and we for sure, never received at the very least, an adequate experience through and through. Not once in this experience did we get some reassurance of anything. We felt ignored, and so did others
Again, I am not expecting excellence, nor perfection, I was just expecting a good breakfast at a local restaurant. With at the very least, some sort of humility. Unfortunate it’s not shown in the service, environment, staff, nor the owner response. I don’t require apology, nor do I think it’s professional to seek pity – just do better
