" So disappointed with my visit. While I appreciate the attempt at authentic cuisine, the execution left much to be desired. The flavors were off and the portion sizes were painfully small for what I paid. Moreover, when I asked the staff for a side of salsa, I felt like I was bothering them. I might try a different place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Cocina Doña Chona! The chilaquiles are the best I've ever tasted, bursting with flavor and authenticity. The handmade tortillas pair perfectly with everything. The service was a bit slow but the food was worth the wait. I can't believe how affordable the meal was for the quality provided. Best place for Mexican food in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Cocina Doña Chona is always a treat. Their menu might not be extensive, but everything tastes like it was made with love—and it shows! The handmade tortillas are heavenly and pair beautifully with their flavorful dishes. I sometimes find the service lacking in speed, but the food makes up for any wait. Plus, it's a budget-friendly choice for authentic Mexican cuisine. Definitely a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience here. The staff was friendly and were quick to assist with our menu choices. I enjoyed their breakfast tacos. My only complaint would be the lack of seating space, as the place fills up quickly. Nevertheless, the food was delicious and totally reminded me of home. It’s a place I would come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with high expectations after hearing about how authentic their food is. Unfortunately, I was let down. The portions are quite small for the price, and while some dishes were really good, others were rather average. The service was not great either; the staff seemed overwhelmed and indifferent to our needs. I might consider coming back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy to have discovered this place! The food caters to authentic Mexican tastes, and you can taste the freshness of ingredients. I ordered the chilaquiles and was not disappointed! However, the service was a bit on the slower side, but the friendly banter made it more pleasant. Would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Authentic flavors, friendly staff! I ordered a combination plate with rice and beans, and it was deliciously cooked. I appreciated the use of fresh ingredients, and the portions were satisfying. It's a great local spot for anyone wanting a taste of home. I would definitely recommend Cocina Doña Chona. " (*Curated Review*)
