Don Chico Mexican Restaurant

"You can tell everyone knows everyone in here. Very attentive wait staff. The food was amazing and came out quickly. Will definitely come back if I'm passing through"

"Visiting Fort Payne, we asked about 6 people where to get lunch. Every single person recommended Don Chico. We were very happy with our meal. My friend ordered texas fajitas, I ordered huevos rancheros. Both were outstanding! The guacamole was phenomenal! This is the kind of Mexican you get in Texas or Southern Cali border towns. Authentic food, no frills atmosphere, incredibly kind and friendly servers. I'd make the trip to Fort Payne just to eat here again."

"Don Chico Isn't Just a Meal, It's an Experience! I have officially found my new go-to for authentic Mexican cuisine, and its name is Don Chico Mexican Restaurant. From the moment you step through the door, you're not just a customer; you're family. The vibrant, festive atmosphere is immediately welcoming, but the real magic begins with the food and the incredible hospitality. Let's talk about the star of the show: the fajitas. I've had my fair share of fajitas over the years, but Don Chico's are on an entirely different level. Before the plate even arrives, you hear that glorious, head-turning sizzle. The aroma of perfectly seasoned steak and chicken, caramelized onions, and crisp bell peppers fills the air. The meat was unbelievably tender and flavorful, the vegetables had the perfect crisp-tender texture, and the homemade tortillas were warm, soft, and the perfect vessel for scooping up every last delicious bite. It's not just a dish; it's a full sensory experience. Beyond the phenomenal fajitas, the freshly made guacamole was creamy and zesty, and the salsa had a complex, smoky kick that I couldn't get enough of. You can taste the freshness and the passion in every single item on the menu. What truly elevates Don Chico from a great restaurant to an unforgettable one is the owner, Angel. He is the heart and soul of this establishment. He doesn't just run the restaurant; he brings it to life. Angel personally came to our table to greet us, his smile as warm and genuine as the food he serves. He shared stories about his family recipes and his passion for bringing authentic flavors to the community. His presence is felt everywhere, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, happy, and well-fed. You can tell this isn't just a business for him--it's a labor of love. If you are looking for authentic, mouth-watering Mexican food served with a side of genuine hospitality, you absolutely must visit Don Chico. I will be dreaming about those fajitas until I can go back, which will be very, very soon. This place is a true gem!"

"It was ok. Service was kind of slow especially when paying. Salsa was good but chips a bit stale. Enchiladas were ok. Lack flavor. Salad was good. Bathroom was ok but like a broom closet."

"Food was solid, people are nice, place was packed. Would recommend. Veg Fajita: 8/10 - great flavor Changa (chicken): friend said it was good Side plate: rice was ok, beans not so great, guac salad and pico were pretty standard"
