Culinary Highlights
One must-try dish is the Huevos Rancheros, featuring perfectly cooked eggs atop a crispy corn tortilla, drizzled with a spicy homemade tomato sauce that perfectly balances the richness of the eggs. The Chimichangas are another crowd-pleaser, deep-fried to golden perfection and stuffed with rich fillings that invite you to savor every bite.
For those looking to share, the Fiesta Quesadilla and Quesabirrias are excellent options, offering an evolving tapestry of flavors complemented by house-made tortillas and zesty accompaniments. Don’t overlook their Pancakes if you’re in the mood for something sweet; they’re fluffy and delicious, ensuring a perfect start to your morning.

My favorite Mexican food in the entire area! Nobody else compares. The chips and salsa are incredible and everything I've tried on the menu has been an excellent! Nice place to take a date also
Great customer service. We were looking for a local AYCE Latin breakfast. The choices had great flavor. Parking is limited. Restaurant has a lot of tables. They have hand made tortillas. Great experience. I highly recommend this place. Sorry no pictures, we were so hungry and the the plates we made went fast.
My husband and I were craving Mexican and so I started yelping. Found this place and decided to give it a try. I love the ambiance of the restaurant. Very festive and cute. Staff were friendly and polite. I got the camarones a la diabla and it was pretty good. The sauce is a little thinner than what I've had in the past but the flavor and spice was definitely there. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche tostada. Flavor was perfect. Just the perfect amount of sour. Only thing was, I wish it was a little spicier but that's what the hot sauce is for. My husband ordered the chimichanga with carnitas and he said he liked it. Overall, this place was okay. I would go again.
We've been to La Doña on multiple occasions, why I haven't written a review is beyond me... Today we came in for their new weekend buffet option @ 25.00/person, which includes fountain and iced tea drinks. Excellent idea for a buffet... the last time we had AYCE w/ Mexican choices was at HometownBuffet or even at the Golden Coral lol La Doña offers authentic Mexican cuisine and the thoughtfulness that is seen in the dishes executed was really well done! We saw them being advertised on FB for weekend buffet at La Doña .. trying to get the word out, gatekeeping feels wrong....Hoping these reviews generate more foot traffic! Hits for me were their in-house tortillas and some smack verde chiliquiles! The fam enjoyed all their protein selection, pork chili verde, chicken fajitas, carne asada...their refried beans are so good: thick, creamy and powerfully flavorful with that lard/porky essence, along side some aromatic fluffy rice! There's chorizo and eggs, my daughter devoured along w/ some pineapple jello! Hubby liked their chicken mole and steak rancheros! They even offered a bread pudding w/ a flan topping...so yummy! Pazole was sublimely porky and smokey, and their hominy cooked to the desired consistency, soft and not chalky... their menudo w/ honeycomb tripe was very soft, no need to chew consistency...good enough for the teefless really! Add all fixings they offer on the side w/ a healthy squeeze of lime juice, onions and cilantro. The young ladies who served us brought endless drinks and cleared our plates and checked on us every so often. The vibe is here is always "welcome home familia"... la Doña really takes care of you...check them out yourself and support your local businesses! Mucho gracias!
Looking for local flavor we pulled a restaurant out of the "proverbial hat" and zero'd in on Mexican cuisine. Actually, we are looking for another restaurant and got tired of looking for it and our vehicle happen to be right out front of La Dona. A quick Yelp review and we found it to be a popular spot. Walked on in for a late lunch, we were quickly greeted by a number of the staff. With a smile on her face, a server told us to pick a table and we sat right down. She quickly came over with menus, made some recommendations, and brought along some fantastic chips and salsa. She asked us if we wanted to try some of their "hot" salsa that they only bring out for special occasions so of course we said "yes"! The chips and both salsa's were both terrific. Ironically, we both picked the same lunch menu, burritos. With a choice of four different meats, we both picked pork. The burrito comes with a choice of beans, I went with the refried. About five minutes later, the server returned with our food. This burrito was a large burrito, it came stuffed with pork, red sauce, melted jack cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Since I'm not a big sour cream fan, I passed. More than enough to eat and plenty delicious. The meal was hot, they didn't cut any corners on any of the ingredients. Every bite was terrific. I got a doggy bag to take back what I couldn't finish. Oh, I had the Arnold Palmer to drink. It was terrific. Our server came back a number of times to keep filling the drink up. Yum!
My first time here and I'm so glad I found this place on my way home. The authenticity of the food will definitely make me a repeat customer. The excellent customer service from the hostess/ server/cashier/ bomb margarita bartender made my experience just that more amazing. The prices were very reasonable too! Ooh let me not forget the bomb homemade salsas I had with my tacos and my chips. Both the green and red salsas were equally great! This is a family friendly environment or if you want to have a little date night or even with friends.. the ambience is equally accommodating. I'll be back for sure!!
Excellent service with a smile on a dark and rainy day. Coming in feels like taking shelter from the storm. The empty space was very welcoming. The food was out of this world, don't miss the green salsa. Faith restored in this spot!!
