Don Checko's Mexican — Restaurant in Chambersburg

If you don't speak Spanish, Portuguese, etc (I don't sy this to be rude. I don't speak whichever it was), this place may not be for you unless you like taking chances. My wife does speak a decent amount of Spanish and the barrier was still pretty bad. They were out of sour cream we were told...except my burrito came covered in it and I asked for none. Also, the burrito didn't mention avocado. I don't eat them so I couldn't ask for them not to be in there...but it was full of them. It took forever to come, so I didn't bother to correct the issue. Chances are, she wouldn't understand and the 2nd one would come out with squid in it. The time issue should also be taken into consideration if you have kids. They will be waiting a long time. I will be fair. The burrito was decent, if not overpriced for what it was. It was along the lines of what you'd pay at a chain restaurant. This place does not have the overhead to call for that kind of pricing, and there was nothing special about it. The menu was traditional Mexican. The food and pricing did not seem to...

When I moved to Chambersburg almost 6 years ago and asked about the best Mexican place, no one said "Don Checko's". I've driven by the place hundreds of times and never went in there.

The tacos were very flavorful and delicious. Tacos from some other places, they've tasted "off", like the seasoning on the meat was different when I expected, but here? Perfect!

The burrito was HUGE. After I ate the tacos, I opened the box with the burrito and went "Yea...thats dinner for tomorrow..." because there was no way I'd be able to eat it.

The price was reasonable, the food was great and they carry the superior Mexican Coke in the glass bottles, which is...

Inaccurate menu. Tried to order chips and side cheese and salsa and were told we couldn't do that. Ordered Nachoes and they came with 3 kinds of cheese so I'm not sure why they couldn't fufill the first request. My partner had expressed through out the first request that she didn't want or like cheese and she ordered fajitas, no where did it mention cheese being on them, they came to the table covered in melted cheese .when we expressed our confusion they offered to 'take off the cheese'. The waitress was being as nice as she could be and I think our problem is with whoever is in the kitchen .

Also they wouldn't let us order a taco salad with shrimp even tho they have both on the menu and have a generic add...
