Don Fuegos Chicken - Hesperia

I drove out to grab some stuff and took advantage or being in the area. I really wanted to try the Mac n cheese and just my luck they were out. I've been out here a few other times and it was while they were closed. I did get to try the fried pickles and although they were a bit salty they went well with their house sauce and the ranch. It balanced them out. Still one of my favorite chicken spots.

Food is decent. Was expecting more. Fries are not what are pictured on others people's reviews. Hot flavoring is not hot at all. Not the worst but not the best. I believe the people leaving 5 star reviews wouldn't know great food if it walked up and sat in their mouths.

Been a semi-regular for a while now. Figured I should give a good review to offset any Karen one-star reviews. I love this place. Food has always been fantastic. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The only con is that they aren 't open long enough. Right now their hours are 12pm-8pm (although their website and Google hours say 12:30-8). I would love it if they opened at 11:30am because I 'm usually craving it Sundays at that time, and I have to sit at home waiting until I can leave and get there when they open. I also wish they 'd move to a different location. The parking lot is crummy and small and when they 're busy sometimes you have to park elsewhere.

I actually really like their food, I'm obsessed with their fuego fries. However, they are never consistent. One day they put your food in a completely different container, be it smaller but they charge the same. They are always out of items, constantly. They also make their stuff different such as the fries. On their Instagram, they advertise everything with crinkle cut fries, then one day you'll get Jack in the box style thin fries with your food. Then again they'll have crinkle cut, then they'll change it back to thin fries. I love eating here, I just hate how inconsistent they are. I understand being a small business but people go to restaurants because they know what they are getting, what is being advertised. When it's constantly switched up here and there, it's not the same because you go in expecting the same comfort food just to end up with Jack in the box fries and some chicken. Their max and cheese is also very basic but some days it's really good but most of the time it's basic. Keep the recipe the same. It's just soo much inconsistencies from a business that is selling food. I just wish they would post what they lack on their ig and what they are changing for the day.

I chose this place for the reviews. The location seemed geh-toe, but that typically means the food is fire. The door was open and it was 100° outside. Everyone looked miserable behind in the kitchen, probably hot. The first thing i noticed while standing in line was the soda machine. It was out of every soda, except Crush and diet pepsi. As I got to the counter to order, I saw all these random signs saying what they were out of. One was folded behind the computer that said they were out of coleslaw, then they had another one to the left saying they were out of Mac and cheese. The second thing I noticed was their raggity taped menu to the counter. Okay, that's fine, but I think they could put it on the wall with all the writing they got there. Then the guy physically told me they were out of pickles. Like damn, can't y'all run to the grocery store and improvise? Or at least offer 15% off for not having anything? Plus, the young kid at the counter seemed like he was annoyed that I realized they were out of everything. Anyway, I sat down, the food didn't take that long to be ready. As I was eating, I started noticing how dirty the place was. The floor, side panels, trash bin and it started to make me feel grossed out. The food was okay, looks like all the other pictures on here. The chicken was cooked nicely and the flavor was good, but I couldn't tell if there was a glaze over it, or it was grease. The bun might as well have been a tortilla, it was so flat. Toast the inside of the bun and it helps. The fries were good, nice texture and consistency. The fry sauce was good also. I felt like I should have waited till they weren't out of things to try the food because I feel like I didn't get the full effect. But I realized the guy didn't even say when he was getting more in. I also over heard the workers talking and they were cursing. It just added to the experience. Upon exiting, there was a dead cockroach on the floor and I noticed the door was sealed off from being broken. I don't know, if they would have been more upbeat, gave a discount and it was clean inside, I think I would have had a better experience. I gave 2 stars for the food, the order coming out quick and fresh. I MIGHT give it a second chance in the future if I see the reviews have gotten better. I could see the potential, but it seems there may be some prideful staff there. A few tips would be, clean the place up, get a bigger menu, order supplies and whip your staff into shape and teach them customer service.
