This is usually one of my favorite restaurants, however the last time I went our waiter didn't speak a lick of English and when I found a raw piece of chicken in my quesadilla and told the waiter he just smiled and shook his head because he had no idea what I said. He also forgot silverware, didn't refill chips/ salsa/ or drinks. I will not be returning.
Review Source:As a fan of all things Mexican, I know a good Mexican place when I see one. Recently, my sister and I came here for some yummies. We came into a place with your typical Fort Wayne Mexican Restaurant Decor: Crazy colors with some sombreros, desert pictures, etc. We were seated promptly and given warm chips and some yummy salsa. I went in for a house margarita which was solid. Sister just stuck with the water but saw that it was refilled promptly. We both got house dishes - I got vegetarian fajitas and she got a chicken dish. Both were served promptly and piping hot.
I live in Boston now, so I won't be able to come back that often. However, when I am in town (which is every couple of months), I think that it is a solid place to eat with some friends and family.
My favorite Mexican place in Fort Wayne! Don Chava's is owned by the same people who own Cebolla's, so the menu is pretty much the same. I judge my Mexican restaurants by the chips and salsa, and Don Chava's gets an A+ on this front. A lot of times I'm not even hungry when my food comes because I've slammed so hard on the chips and salsa. Man, I want some right now... They have awesome lunch specials. You can easily spend less than $10 INCLUDING TIP because of their specials, which also include a drink. Speaking of drinks, Don Chava's edges out its sibling Cebolla's because they have Pepsi products. I highly recommend Don Chava's for cheap-but-authentic Mexican food in Fort Wayne!
Review Source:Since El Patron closed, we have been going here when we have needed a Mexican fix for lunch. Â The salsa is good - a bit runny - but I like that in a salsa. Â The chips are crunchy and ok. What I like is that they refill your basket when needed. Â Some Mexican restaurants don't want to give you more than 1 basket of chips. Â That is my favorite part. Â Today we ordered the Chimichanga roast beef special and a beef burrito lunch platter. Â The chimichanga was good sized and filled with lots of meaty roast beef. Â The burrito was good - nothing wonderful. Â It would have been better if there had been melted cheese on top. Â The beans were ok, and the rice as well. Â Over all, the food is good - nothing wonderful, but consistently good. Â If you want a GREAT burrito try Pine Valley Bar and Grill off of Dupon Rd. Â AWESOME!!! Â But Don Chavas is close to work, is pretty fast and has always served us good, tasty food.
Review Source:I have to admit that my culinary experience here has been limited to the Burrito Rojo, the Don Chava's Burrito, and the Quesadilla - but they are all pretty tasty. Â Â
 The chips and cilantro-loaded salsa before your meal arrive are a good start. Â
 The service is more likely to let you down than blow you away - if you speak Spanish it would help immensely.  We've had wonderful waitresses and we've had our entire meal arrive incorrect.
 The restaurant is large with an authentic atmosphere (but ice in your Pepsi). Â
 I used to always leave here with a stomach ache, but I stopped drinking the iced tea and it ceased....  perhaps they import the water from Mexico, too.  :)
