Highlights
Al Castaneda greets his customers with a hug. Popular among many diners. Outdoor patio. The reason he called is that he found out that you have unfortunately misrepresented the type of food that they serve (they serve ""Fine Mexican Food"" not American food). And how credible can that be considering that you listed Dona Esther's as an American food restaurant, when they actually serve ""Fine Mexican Food?"" We noticed that you had the days listed with no hours printed next to the days, and in the delivery column, perhaps you could list the fact that they do large scale catering and also have take-out service. They do have a full service liquor bar, outdoor patio, live music on Friday evenings and seating for over one hundred fifty diners. By the way, they do serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I can tell you that my own personal rating would be a solid three stars. Their food is great and the service is unsurpassed, and that's amazing considering they serve very affordable meals and large portions. Actually, you should stop by and enjoy a meal yourself. I am sure once you've eaten there, you will agree with me, Dona Esther's is a ""Fine Mexican Food Restaurant. Dining for 150. Sincerely, John M.

Rated 2 out of 5 by jessica f from Wait was VERY long, we were there about 3 hours total. They had ran out of the food item that 3 of us had ordered, I ended up cancelling myOrder because I would no longer wait with my 18 month old who got very fussy after the long wait. Staff was polite but after waiting for so long no one really ended up eating and almost all the food got boxed up and brought home -it was a bummer that our dining out was not enjoyed since we rarely do it

Rated 1 out of 5 by Minh H from The food was terrible, over prices & look nasty, I will never going back to this place ever again. The Server mess up my husband order & never bring out the water out for our table. Rib eyes steak I order but I don't think it rib eyes, medium rare I request & it well done like reheat from left over. we send back to the cook to re make 2 steak order. They bring out my steak look so thin & so muck fat and like soup the worst steak I have ever see in my life. Don't wast your money you better off go some where out.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Minh H from The Rib eye steak was low quality meat and was over-cooked when I asked for medium rare. All the food on the plate was messy and not very nice to look at. Nobody in our party was happy about this place. Overpriced junk food. Dennys would have been a better place and value to eat at.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Joann L from Food is always good. Waiter seemed a little off this time. Just forgot little requests. Nothing major. And they were not busy when we arrived with a reservation.
