Cocina Doña Chona

Portions here are extremely short. Almost $30 for a tiny meat slice and some chips. “Chiliquiles” Flavor isn’t really good nor is service to be over priced by almost 100%. I understand they need to make a profit but at the cost of losing customers it doesn’t make sense. This isn’t wagu this is a Mexican restaurant. Super limited ordering menu. Will not be returning

It’s always a nice meal coming here. Everything tastes fresh and they have hand made tortillas. Never a bad experience by far. A nice small kitchen hole in the wall. With an authentic Taste.

This place is straight Mexican. You gotta make your own instant coffee and tortillas are hand made! Delicious food, a bit pricey but good over all!

It was ok. But over priced with just a plain menu. No birria served was a disappointment. And they give you small portions for the price that you pay, not worth it

Everything is good! What I say everything!!!! Food is so delicious it reminds me of Mexico. And it’s fresh

I was very disappointed in this place. My mom and I would regularly come here and we stopped going because the owner did not want to add more cheese on our quesadilla even if we paid more for it. Do not come here because they will be very stingy and hesitate to add more of meat or cheese. Usually, they serve their food with the smallest portion. Unfortunately, we will not continue to come here and they have lost customers.

Food was delicious and authentic. The chilaquiles were so spicy but good tasting. They has tostadas de pata. Small dive a little pricey but I get why.

I'm sorry but they take way too long for Tacos to go and the ladies that work there are rude don't believe just try to interact with them I ordered Tacos to go and they thought I wasn't going to look at my Tacos they made me to go before I left and the lady that made them didn't even put the meat on my corn tortilla s she just threw the meat on top i showed the lady and she told me sorry I told her ya ya imagine if I was at home and didn't check and show the other ladies what a rude lady that made them and missed my corn tortilla just basically threw it in the ten foil to goe 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠 over rated its ok there's plenty other places to go in the area

Just to start one day I was very hungry and my friend he's a truck driver introduce me, this wonderful and beautiful spot. He has them really Mexican homemade food and a style too. Before I try out the breakfast, also flautas. This time I was craving for something more different and unusual I got the Gordita de chicharrón en salsa verde it was delicious. The server brought me red and green a salsa on the side. I enjoyed the salsa verde a lot a little kick of mild spicy.I also ordered a agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus water). But definitely every time I'm around the area I'd like to pass by and try something different from Doña chona spot. Thanks for the delicious food.

Let's start with the service, not only are they rude but they look down on you as if you're less than. The food prices are not as show, they charged 2.25 for each egg and don't tell you. The plate portion is not worth the price. If i could give this place 0 stars I would.

Service: Kind and friendly staff. They took our orders promptly and brought our food in a reasonable amount of time. You order at the counter. Ambiance: Spacious tables and chairs. Dining room is not overly crowded. Inviting decor. Kitchen/ counter was loud and difficult to communicate. Which led to having onions mistakenly included in food. But not a big deal. I will just speak louder next time. Food: Plates were small without both rice and beans which I feel is a staple in Mexican restaurants, but the beans were delicious. I ordered the chilaquiles which came with a green sauce. They were delicious, savory, and slow build spicy. Instead of tortillas, they gave us bollios (bread rolls) which were soft and served warm. Chilaquiles were some of the best I've had. Price: For the size of the plate and serving size, I felt 14.99 was a bit high. But the quality was top notch. If you know anything about Mexican food it's all about how good the salsa is and the salsa on the chilaquiles was amazing. I wish they sold the salsa too to take home. Parking: limited in the front, but more in the back. ​

Food is out of this world !! So delicious . The place is so clean ! I love their salsas ! staff is amazing

Este pequeño lugar es una maravilla. Me siento en casa todo limpio. Te atienden a su tiempo, ya que esta comida es preparada al momento. No tienen nada congelado. Me encantaría que tuvieran pequesaillas de flor de calabaza y huitlacoche todo es muy sabroso, muy cálido.

This little hidden Gem is so good my fiancé has been coming here for years the food is amazing it gets busy sometimes there's no place to sit but worth the wait !! He always gets the chilaquiles and I always get a sope and a Gordita! Everything taste so good

They make your order wrong and when you ask for them to switch it or fix it they refuse to change it! The girls that work there are very rude and sarcastic! There are better places to have Mexican food in the area but I would not return to this place again!!

This place is amazing, the best Mexican authentic food. From the chilaquiles to the steak and tinga tostadas. La mejor comida Mexicana que eh probado, deven provar las tostadas de tinga y El bistec and salsa de molcajete.

Cocina Donna Chona is a great place to eat near Downey area. Stopped here a week aggo and grabbed some good food. Hard for me to remember and pronounce the name of the good food choices here. Everything on the menu is in huge portions. Nice clean restaurant inside. Owners and staff are cool, My first time here and wont be last.

FIRE FOOD. Been coming here for a while and it never changes, get yourself some costillas. :3

Tostadas de pata, pipián con pollo, guaraches with meat are my favorite. Service takes some time but worth the wait. Saturdays and Sundays are always packed and no parking.

Love there gorditas and flautas. I order and it's easy one two three. I recommend this place 100%

One of the few places that...am telling you right now is %100 home made literally real old school traditional moms cooking in the kitchen bringing out that delicious food we want. Hand made tortillas food super fresh only thing during summer time place gets really hot..is that old school lol this whole in the wall will make you feel better when you eat there.

This place was delicious as always! I ordered two gorditas. One chicharrón prensado and one chicharrón verde. Honestly, one was very filling. I loved the chicharrón verde one! The second was also good but maybe I was just too full. The Gordita was crispy, not too hard, just perfect. My husband ordered the costillas de puerco in red salsa. He loved them! The red salsa almost had the same profile as the red salsa from King Taco but not as spicy just flavorful! You won't be disappointed coming here!

if I could I would give this place 0 stars. The girl with glasses has a terrible attitude the food is not even worth it!!! I ordered a huarache and I was never told lettuce and cream is charged on the side. I've been to other restaurants and never have I heard the nonsense of "we charge lettuce and cream on the side".

Self seating, Small parking but the food is worth it! My personal favorite are the green enchiladas but the green chilaquiles are tasty too. If you want something smaller, I recommend a gordita de Tinga or chicharrón verde.

The best Gorditas are delicious! They have outside seating to keep everyone safe. The owner is very sweet and you feel like you're coming over for food at her house. The key is the fresh masa they use to make the dishes. 10/10 service ! Q

Love this spot! I come here frequently for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, their green chilaquiles are BOMB. For lunch, do yourself a favor and try one of their huaraches. Specifically, the tinga and chicharrón en Chile verde. Their gorditas are also FIRE. And don't forget to order a tostada de pata! YUM! Doña Chona has some serious sazón!

Hey Yelpers, The food here at Doña Chona is decent. I got an asada quesadilla, and horchata as my beverage. It took about 20 minutes for my food to come out. The quesadilla is thick/heavy which it's something I dislike. The quesadilla is freshly made which is a plus. The horchata was, in my opinion, good, it wasn't sweet, it had a good balance of flavor. 1)My only complaints is that this Cocina Doña Chona has extremely poor ventilation. 1)It gets extremely hot. The tables are warm. 3)Cocina Doña Chona only accepts cash as a form of payment. I only recommend this place if you like freshly made quesadillas.

Delicious!! It's hard for me to find good sopes and these are delicious!! I had the asada and the chicken. Both were good but the chicken had more flavor. I really enjoyed the chipotle flavor. The taco was good as well. I also got a bistec huarache which was flavorless and not what I expected. I might try it again with the chicken because the shell was great. They make the tortillas there, which is a plus. All in all I enjoyed my food and the ladies there are patient and really sweet. I would have given 5 stars but I took one off for the huarache.

Love love love their food....you can literally pick anything on their menu and you won't regret it. Highly recommend them!

Mal servicio...LA comida siempre llega tarde. Hasta 45 minutos de espera. LA muchacha que esta en LA registradora tiene una actitud muy fea.. le hablas y nunca responde de buena manera... tuebe actitud de estar cansada de trabajar ahy y Lidiar con Los clientes.. siempre se le olvidan traer Las bebidas o tenedores. Y se Los pides y ni te contesta. Te mira y no saves si t escucho porque ni puede responder con un si. LA comida es buena. Pero el sevicio es malisimo.

What can I say? This place is very authentic,my favorite are the chilaquiles remind me my mom's. The service is great the ladies here look like they really enjoy their jobs. I highly recommend cocina doña chona

La muchacha que toma las ordenes es muy lenta, siempre que vengo esta el teléfono y no hace caso al cliente cuando llega, la comida sale muy despacio; necesitan poner mas personal en la mañana, ya no regreso!

The lady that takes your order that has glasses has the worst customer service ever... she has you waiting in line forever... she doesn't even mind saying "I'll be right with you"!!!

Comida de D.F. authentica ...now i search for the best of all types of foods. So far for mexican at a small joint (not the taco spots) this is the ONE. Handmade tortillas and meats cooked by a couple of lil ladies gettin busy for your mouth,salsa roja is like home made,Adobada is ridiculous especially the Sopes. My next treat is the Huarache(both the shoe and the dish) lol Downside 1.CASH ONLY..please understand its a little spot probably a grade B ..but im all in ONE!

I've been going here for many years and the food is as authentic as it can get. I love the quesadillas, the green chilaquiles, green enchiladas and tacos de carne. It's hard to chose as I do enjoy everything they sell there. It is a small place but totally worth eating there. Thank you Doña Chona!

This is probably the best chilaquiles i have ever had. Make sure you brig cash because its cash only. So worth the wait. Great breakfast

The fact that they still take orders right before the close is a plus. I always order to pick up. Flautas de pollo are the best, gordita de chicharon prensado, the chorizo con huevo.. Everything is good here. This is my go to for mexican food.

The food is not worth the price I am defiantly not coming back to this place. The prices are not even on the menu so basically they can charge u what ever you want.

Nada bueno.. not good at all. Service is horrible. Don't waste your time and money here. If I can do zero 0 stars I will !! Tables are not clean Muchas. Moscas .. nasty

Great place for authentic Mexican food. Meals--and tortillas--are made fresh. Their Huaraches are the best. And their sauces really compliment their dishes, especially the red sauce.

Love coming here ! Great food ! I truly recommend coming here and trying out flautas de pollo and tostadas de tenga!!! Amazing

Food is great but their customer service could be better! Called at 5:33 to place a pick up order and they said they were closed; their hours of operations are supposed to be from 9-6 not 9ish to 5:30

Food was great has a delicious taste I'm gonna come back for more really delicious & cheap !!

All the Tortillas, Sopes and Gorditas are made Fresh to Order. Almost all of the time the Meat is fresh to order as well. Try the Red sauce its great! Cash Only No ATM.

I love this place whenever my mom is out of town and I'm craving some home cooked meals this is my go to. they do take a little longer than usual but it's because the food is freshly made. Defiantly a hole in the wall but it's amazing . this over any Mexican restaurant it's so good. I usually have the gorditas or the chilaquiles

Dona Chona is my go to Mexican restaurant in all of Los Angeles. It's that hidden spot that takes me back to places in Mexico where I have enjoyed some of my favorite meals . This place won't disappoint!

Prices are really high and the food was below average for an authentic mexican restaurant, wont be coming back

My husband brought me here 3 years ago he loves this place and me too. The service is pretty nice and the food is excellent. They do take a very long time to serve but so worth the wait SINCE it is made fresh from scratch. Which make it in-at-home feeling. If you're into Mexican food this is the place to go and if your Mexican this is where all the best mom/grandma goodies are. I recommend the Flautas de pollo and de hand made quesadilla the green hot sauce is fantastic.

The food was not that good they did not show all of there menus so it was confusing to order they took forever to bring out food the chilaquiles were not great and had no flavor

Place is bomb!! Hard to find hole in the wall spots like this with real authentic Mexican food! Green sauce is thee best! And their coffee reminds me of being in Mexico delicious I come from far to eat here only minor complain besides adding more shade to their windows in dinning area is their plate servings have gotten less their enchiladas have gotten thinner less meat but delicious food.

Found this place while fixing our windshield in the hood. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food this is the go to place. Their sopes are to die for & 1 of the main reasons we return. Cleaner than your average little hole in the wall. Sit close to the kitchen near the door for ventilation since the kitchen is the only one with AC. Parking is in back & you enter through the alley.

Let me start of by saying if you want to be transported back to Mexico in a Rancho then this is the place! The food is great. My favorite three dishes are the Guarraches, flautas and Los chilaquiles w/ a tosted bolio. Yummy. The beans are jammin! No, but seriously their the best beans I had from any resturant. oh, but stay away from their mole, it was bland and was lacking flavor. Let me add, their Aguas Frescas are legit! None of this artifical powder or concentrated juice they sale at other mexican restaurants. It's the real deal. On occasiona, you'll see thy Dona Chona at the register holding up the line.lol... Please stay off the register and concentrate on the recipes! The Salsas are a hit or miss. Sometimes their too spicy that you end up getting an upset stomach y con la coliflor ardiendo. I highly recommend this hole in the wall changarro. Caiganle con La Dona Chona!

Eating as I write this review lol, that's how good this place is. The best gorditas I've had in a looong time. Not a fancy place and it slow but it's worth the wait! They are very clean too. Coming back soon !!

Hole in the wall that serves bomb Mexican food. Las gorditas, quesadillas, and huaraches are amazing. If your in Huntington Park and you're craving good Mexican food you have to stop by.

This is one of the few whole in the wall places in LA that I must say really is an authentic Mexican home style food. Loved their gorditas! Parking sucjs but you can usually just block someone the joint is small enough to know when you have to move your car (kinda like playing Tetrus).

Love... Love... Love.... This place Gorditas de chicharon prensado. Tinga, and the huevos mexicana.

Really good Mexican food! Handmade tortillas were the best I've had. Only con is that it's cash only so come prepared.
