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.

My darling esposa of nearly 20 years, J.A. Nice, and I had our first date here 23 years ago. We keep coming back year after year to celebrate that event on their patio — and often just because it is such a great restaurant. Doña Esther’s chile relleño is THE standard by which we measure ALL others. Light, fluffy batter that superbly compliments fire-roasted and peeled chiles and a very nice cheese.
