Don Senor Cafe Menu With Prices
This guide covers the most popular sections of the menu. Prices are based on the standard dine-in experience. Takeout orders sometimes include a small packaging fee, so check your receipt.
Starters And Shareables
These are perfect for the table, but they are large enough to be a light meal for one person. The portions are honest, and the salsa is made fresh daily.
- Tableside Guacamole – $9.99
- Queso Fundido with Chorizo – $8.50
- Chips and Salsa (bottomless) – $3.25
- Nachos Supremos (feeds two) – $12.75
Classic Tacos And Burritos
You get three tacos per order, which is a solid amount of food. The burritos are stuffed tightly, so do not plan on finishing one if you order a side of fries.
- Street Corn Chicken Tacos – $13.50
- Carne Asada Burrito – $14.25
- Bean and Cheese Burrito (vegetarian) – $9.00
- Fish Tacos (Baja style) – $15.95
House Specialties And Plates
These are the heavy hitters. Each plate arrives with a generous scoop of Mexican rice, refried beans, and warm tortillas on the side. The portions are big enough to share, but you might not want to.
- Chile Verde Plate – $16.50
- Enchiladas Suizas (three pieces) – $15.25
- Carne Asada Plate with Grilled Onions – $18.75
- Pollo en Mole Negro – $17.00
Combination Dinners
If you cannot decide, pick a combo. You choose any two items from a list (taco, enchilada, tamale, or chalupa). This is the best value on the menu if you are hungry.
- Choose your first item (e.g., crispy taco).
- Choose your second item (e.g., cheese enchilada).
- Select your protein: shredded beef, chicken, or cheese.
- Price: $12.99 for the standard combo.
Kids Menu And Sides
For smaller appetites, the kids menu is simple. It comes with a drink and a small scoop of ice cream for dessert.
- Kids Quesadilla – $6.50
- Kids Taco (hard or soft) – $6.25
- Side of Refried Beans – $2.50
- Side of Mexican Rice – $2.50
Drinks And Desserts
Horchata is the house favorite. They also offer a selection of bottled Jarritos sodas. The flan is dense and creamy, not too sweet.
- Horchata (large) – $4.50
- Jarritos (all flavors) – $3.00
- Flan – $5.25
- Churros with Chocolate Dip – $6.00
One thing to note is that the lunch specials (served until 3 PM) are slightly cheaper than the dinner prices shown above. If you are on a budget, aim for a weekday visit. Also, the server might not mention that the “small” queso is actually enough for three people, so start with that before ordering the large.
The pricing structure is fair for the quality. A full meal with a drink will usually land between $15 and $20 per person. If you skip the appetizer and stick to a combo plate, you can get out the door for under $15. The menu is straighforward, but the portions are not decieving—they are large. Check the daily specials board near the register, as it often features a protein that is not listed on the standard menu.
Final tip: the prices listed here are accurate as of this month, but they do change occasionally. Confirm with your server before ordering if the exact cost is a concern. The staff is friendly and will always tell you the current price before you commit.
