Cocina Dona Chuyita: Reviews & Ratings

I've been frequenting Covina Dona Chuyita lately after initially stopping by for a carnitas breakfast burrito, which was excellent, but the way. On other recent visits I've enjoyed the pollo and the carnitas tostadas; which were also exceptional. The employees are so kind and helpful. The salsa bar is not to be missed; I have no idea how it's made, but they have a creamy orange salsa that has literally changed my life - yes, salsa can change the world and this one has definitely changed mine.

**To be completely transparent, one of these stars is because it is not too far from me and the salsa bar. Special shoutout to the 'hot' sauce and that Smokey red salsa - will update rating as I try more things** This was a Grubhub order that I went to pick up. Staff - Pretty dope. Was welcomed when entering. They were chill. Solid from what I could tell. Attentive. Prices: Not bad at all. Food: Chile Relleno burrito: 3/5 Decent portion, not as thicc as I would have hoped. The star of the whole burrito, the chile relleno itself, felt down played a bit. I'm not disappointed per se, it is what it is. The place seems chill. Prices are cool. Go check em out and support.

What a delicious breakfast! I had the chilaquiles w/carnitas. The eggs were cooked perfectly. You order at the counter and they bring it out. The girl who helped me was so kind and patient while I decided. The coffee is good and the food flavorful (not salty), and piping hot! I could ask for much more. I had some time to kill and wanted to find a delicious independent little hole in the wall! Success!!! Definitely recommend.

when you have authentic Mexican, it is a treat. Pair that with a place that feels like you are in Mexico, and you are doing even better. That is the vibe you want. From there, the service is solid, although you nee to be able to hable poco espanol. they arent speaking a whole lot of english. We had lunch here and it was an absolute treat. The burrito was gigantic. The other orders at the table were exactly what they wanted. Everyone was thrilled. This is a great spot and I didnt even start talking abouthte sals bar and fresh chips!

I love it when there is a salsa bar and limes. Yes, they offer free chips. I ordered a crispy taco, but it wasn't that crispy, so it was okay. I also ordered two tacos, and they packed in the meat. I chose steak and cabeza. The meat flavor is okay, but overall, it's best with the sauce on top; it enhances the flavor. By the way, the taco cabeza meat costs 50 cents extra, though it's not listed on the menu. I ordered the green agua frescas drink, and it was good. If you're dining in, ask for an extra red cup with ice and pour your drink as you go to get the full amount. I forgot the flavors; all I know is it has pineapple, I think. The setting is nice and spacious. They also offer lunch combos and desserts.

Food: One of the best fast food Mexican restaurants I adore in Sacramento. Everything tastes homemade and authentic. The flavors are delicious and well seasoned. My favorites are the carnitas and huarache. Service: Some of the girls are friendlier than others. The amount of time you spend engaging with the service staff versus enjoying your food isn't worth the fuss. Just eat and enjoy. Ambiance: It is a sit-down restaurant and feels like a cafe than a dinner restaurant. You seat yourself. Chips and salsa are free. It can be loud sometimes and is always busy.

First off great salsa selection! They had a mild red, hot red, avocado salsa, salsa verde, orange sauce and some white sauce- not sure what that was. They gave my husband and I each our own chip tray at no charge. Carne asada tacos were awesome. Slightly large cuts of meat which I prefer as it keeps the meat more moist. Lots of meat fallout because they were loaded. Chicken quesadilla for my daughter. Was good and chicken had good flavor. Juicy. Not pictured was my husbands super burrito with tripas. He said flavor was really good. Definitely loaded and left him stuffed. My only issue was timing on food service. My tacos came out almost 10 minutes before my husbands burrito and then was still a couple minutes for my daughters quesadilla. Try telling a hungry 1.5 year old to wait when your food is there lol
