About us

Welcome to Fonda Don Chon Restaurant we are a family owned and operated establishment. We focus on our New estilo Jalisco (Jalisco Mexican style) menu. Fonda Don Chon Restaurant features a cozy dining room and a elegant buffet line with a view of the kitchen. In our interior we have comfortable furnishings and a Mexican rustic décor with soothing warm tones. The outside patio features comfy rod iron chairs and tables. It is the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat, for a drink, or for a small business meeting. The menu is inspired from Don Chon’s Estilo Jalisco dishes which are typical in the state of Jalisco Mexico. You can get house specialties like Molcajetes which is served in a Volcanic rock dish filled with a combination of beef, chicken or shrimp surrounded by Oaxaca cheese, nopal(cactus), cilantro, green onion, and chorizo topped with our special sauce or you can get our mouth watering Sopitos Estilo Tonaya that are rare to find on any menu. Our ultimate goal is to provide you, our guest, with friendly service and a great dining experience. Thank you for making your family part of ours!

History

Mr. Asuncion Hernandez learned everything he knows today from his grandmother in Jalisco Mexico. In the 70's he came to the united states with no money but alot of dreams. He had it tough like everyone else, but being the hard working man that he is he never lost hope on those dreams of having his own place. In 2007 He partnered up with his son inlaw and together they formed the best 1-2 punch. Don chon being the master in culinary arts, and Jimmy being the backbone of the operation they brought to Shopper Lane in Covina a piece of Jalisco in January of 2009
