“My husband and I are from out of time and we stopped by thinking this place was a bakery . We was greeted by a friendly staff member which told us about the restaurant and let us know what her favorites were , we purchased some sweets and thanked her . We spend the afternoon talking about what she had recommended if we would come back for dinner . Well we did and the same staff member greeted us and she was our waitress and was so friendly and itentive to our needs/wants. The food was absolutely delicious- I ate a cup of chili as in appetizers and then the Blackend Chicken Alfredo (which was recommended)for my meal - the Alfredo came with a dinner roll that was so good . My husband had the hamburger and fries which was very good . We ate some of the sweets (chocolate chip cookie) for our snack tonight and that was so good . I would recommend this place and if we are ever back in this area will will definitely eat here again”

“Be careful when ordering specials in Fort Payne, FALSE ADVERTISMENT !!! Sign on front window of the place has one price, but you get charged a higher price. when I asked the cashier about it, she said "I guess that's an old sign"?? I asked to speak to a manager and he tells me the prices just went up, but we are not able to remove the sign until we are told to 🤷🏻‍♂️ Last time we will EVER come here..... 🖕🏼 Fort Payne Wingstop !!!”

“This location is pretty good but I order the same thing every time and every time my drink tastes a little different. Sometimes it is incredible and sometimes it could be better.

“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 crisp-tender texture, and the homemade tortillas were warm, soft, and the perfect vessel for scooping up every last delicious bite. It's not just a dish; it's a full sensory experience.
Beyond the phenomenal fajitas, the freshly made guacamole was creamy and zesty, and the salsa had a complex, smoky kick that I couldn't get enough of. You can taste the freshness and the passion in every single item on the menu.
What truly elevates Don Chico from a great restaurant to an unforgettable one is the owner, Angel. He is the heart and soul of this establishment. He doesn't just run the restaurant; he brings it to life. Angel personally came to our table to greet us, his smile as warm and genuine as the food he serves. He shared stories about his family recipes and his passion for bringing authentic flavors to the community. His presence is felt everywhere, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, happy, and well-fed. You can tell this isn't just a business for him—it's a labor of love.
If you are looking for authentic, mouth-watering Mexican food served with a side of genuine hospitality, you absolutely must visit Don Chico. I will be dreaming about those fajitas until I can go back, which will be very, very soon. This place is a true gem!”

“Excellent taste of basil fried rice with shrimp....”
