Don Chuy Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Bellflower

First off, the only reason we ate here was because Loaded Caffe was a 20 to 30 minute wait and we were all hungry so we just went with this place because its in the same shopping center. Now there was a lot of us because there's a lot of members in my family. We got a lot of stares from the workers when we walked in which I thought was rude. Then the waitress was an older lady. At first she seemed nice until I caught her rolling her eyes at my nephew. When she started to pick up all of the menus I turned my head to my husband and intentionally I said out loud "did you see her roll her eyes? If you don't want to work here then quit your job, there's a lot of people who would love to have her job." Obviously she heard me because when she came out with the drinks her attitude changed quick. Now hear me out about this... I am in no way am or trying to be a karen, I'm sorry but you don't just roll your eyes at customer trying to order food at a restaurant you work at. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they don't use fresh chicken, right away I noticed it was frozen chicken type. The rice was not good. Me personally I didn't like what I ordered it was a plate of food completely tasteless. Will not be going back and I highly DO NOT...

The service was pretty good up til the last 20 minutes we spent waiting on the check. Someone else brought in our check and I wasn't all that happy about having to wait for it to get to us. I had the eggs with chorizo and my partner had the chilaquiles.... they were both rather disappointing. I make chilaquiles better, more flavorful than what they had and that's without trying. Didn't meet any expectation at all. The server said spicy was pretty spicy and yet the medium/mild option was what? Lacking in salt? Speaking of which, the beans felt pretty watered down, despite the cheese on top of it. Also lacked salt. The rice was pretty decent but it could have used something else too. Now the chorizo had the most salt, I don't know why they cooked chorizo with what seemed to be more salt if the meat is pretty salty alone as it is! I didn't finish it. Neither did my boyfriend -- we just ate the rice and beans and the only thing that had a good kick to it was the salsa with the chips. Even the chips lacked salt though. The flan was the only good tasting thing even though the texture was off. I was almost scared to eat it but then it tasted well. Good job...

I'm born and raised in Wilmington Ca so I've eaten Mexican Food my whole life.. Don Chuy in Bellflower is something special.. The flavor and taste of the meals is what brings myself and family back .. I recently had a Relative return home from the Pacific Northwest for a visit last Thursday and he was raving and bragging to his wife about the Mexican Restaurants he missed and as he named older places in the South Bay and Harbor Area we would call GO TO or Frequent most often I shook my head and said Follow me to Bellflower.. He said BELLFLOWER? I had to be honest.. Nostalgia? yeah plenty of spots in Wilmington and Carson but taste and good Abuelita Type meals? DON CHUY family 💯.. needless to say His family and guests had never ever had Mexican Food that good.. It was Thursday 1pm and they had to still drive back down to San Diego after.. Just to see their faces after the 1st bite was priceless.. Needless to say I had to take two Enchilada plates home for my Wife and daughter but it the family feel and memories for us that Don Chuy's brings up in...
