2nd time I've been here since last year. The food is always good. Thank you for the foods and service

We enjoyed all of our food, and it was gone before I took a picture. The best I could do was empty plates. Caldo was great, the deluxe platter was wonderful! We came here years ago and kind of forgot about it. I'm glad we rediscovered it as we will be coming back. It might just be our new favorite Mexican restaurant in our area!

Wow, this place is soooooo good! I stopped by Dona Chela based on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, full of flavor and hit the spot. You can tell they put a lot of love into their cooking. The service was awesome - super friendly and welcoming. I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. And the prices? Totally reasonable for how much food you get. If you’re craving real Mexican food in Houston, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town! This place did not disappoint!!

Starting from the manager being super attentive and polite made sure everything was all set by the time we arrived. I had my birthday dinner here and it was a big group and even with that the staff was great and on top of everything. We had the private room to ourselves so that was a plus. Food was delicious and came out super fast with no mistakes. I highly recommend this place for a birthday dinner or just for a normal night out with the family. I will definitely be coming back.

Awesome place. First time here. Food was delicious. Jalapeno Chicken Fried Chicken with Curly Fries and the Summer Plate are awesome.

Great food!! Great seating we enjoyed sitting in the booths by the windows. Setting was just right, clean, good music not too loud just enough lighting. Wasnt incredibly busy so it wasnt so loud which we liked. Would return and would reccomend! Jose was our server he did a great job super attentive but also gave us space and time to eat. I had the cabo san lucas chicken i think it was great meat was tender the wine sauce was scrumptious lmao no really.. green salsa was perfect with everything especially the house salad! Horchata was great too!! Splendid.

The food was fantastic, fast and very filling. I have no complaints about this restaurant except I need to come back to try more dishes. It was clean, the staff were friendly and the food was great. You couldn't ask for anything better.

Super friendly and professional. I picked up my order and was ready to go. The food tasted delicious and fresh! I highly recommend. Give them a try.
