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.

After a great weekend in Monterey we decided to come here on the way back to SF. Saw this town on the California Gold show a long while ago. Great food, good drinks. Wait staff was wonderful pleasant. Hand the combo plate #1 and my be had a wet chicken burrito w/ green sauce. BIG portions. Took some home. A must try spot.

Lisa was a great server!!! However, Chile Rellenos were bland and made from canned chopped peppers, and overlooked (brown stuff on right side of plate). Cheese enchiladas was just ok. I wouldn’t go again.

Found this place out chance due to the 101 northbound shut down yesterday due to a tanker fire. I’m glad we did and if I’m ever back that way , I’ll go find it again to enjoy the great atmosphere and delicious food selection.

I always enjoy my food there. Best to go on a warm afternoon and eat in the patio area. Chicken-pasta soup is the best!

There was a hair in my salad, men’s bathroom had no soap, and our waitress was not very friendly and by the register it smelled like they were spraying raid to kill cockroaches?? And it took forever to get our food I won’t be going here again it’s too dirty for me
