About this business

Dona Esther's Mexican Restaurant can only be described as a labor of love. Our place embodies the feeling of a family kitchen -- full of laughter, friendly faces, and delicious food. We've become a place for travelers and locals alike to relax and revive over a plate of our famous chicharron, enchiladas, or chile relleno (just to name a few). Pair it with a margarita, sit back, and let our family get to know yours.

We were traveling through the area and staff at our hotel Hacienda de Leal recommended Dona Esther and a few other local restaurants. We ate at Dona Esther's and thought it was wonderful! Friendly, good food, Friday night entertainment, with a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed the experience and would go back again if it was not so far from our home in southern Illinois.

I was there with a friend on Labor Day. Food was excellent as usual. I especially like their shredded beef and they use generous amounts in their tacos. Chips and salsa with a beer while waiting for our food hit the spot.

For starters the best chips/salsa!! Order the flour chips with chunky salsa. Can't go wrong with the mixed fajitas, chile Colorado or albondigas soup. #12 meal is my favorite, steak..rice/beans..soup/salad and cheesecake or choc cake. Margaritas are amazing, especially the new cucumber one. For desert, the famous homemade flan is spectacular!!! Always recommend Dona Esther's to all my family and friends.

what happened this morning? buffet food wasn't up to par! it's normally very good!!! chorizo and eggs were burned and very salty, beans had no salt, menudo had no flavor, chile verde was dried out, chips were soft...and baskets of chips were pre-set at empty tables with flies everywhere, one bbq rib was good...the second rib was rancid tasting, nopales were soggy. it's usually a lot better than this! the only good/fresh tasting item was the pan dulce...and that's probably because it came from off the premises.
