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.

First and only time eating here. The service was good but the restaurant was dirty. There are roaches in the bathroom and on the walls. I looked for their health rating but did not see it. I left shortly after seeing the roaches so I can not say if the food was good. The salsa was though. Pictures of what I saw attached.

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 cri

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Buckley · Mar 2023

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.
