Great taco bierras and reasonable prices. Also, good customer service and not rude like other taquerias in the mission district

The free tortilla chips are excellent and the salsa is hot (high temperature) It's way better than it's served cold. First time I've had free salsa served hot.

The food here is good & salsas here are F'n really good customer service too highly recommended

We live near this restaurant. When we moved in 2 years ago it was the first restaurant we went to. It was ok, but we were not impressed with so many other Mexican restaurants around. However, a few months ago they closed and went through a big remodel. Now not only is the restaurant more attractive with a wooden counter area, and an open kitchen but the food and service seems to have improved a lot also. Recently, my partner, who had cancer surgery, was home and wanted beef soup. We called Los Yaquis which is right around the corner, but no luck. So we tried Dona Mago which had re-opened and not only did they have the beef soup, but some delicious refried beans with hand made tortilla and some very spicy salsa. All was ready on time and I walked over and picked it up. My partner was very happy with this comfort food from Dona Mago.

When I used to work a few blocks away, I'd drop in before my shift and indulge in their incredibly hearty breakfast plates, particularly the huevos rancheros or the chilaquiles along with the freshly made tortillas to sop up the plate remnants...and welcome the challenge of staying awake during work hours. I finally came back after a few years to check up on them (just last week) and I love how the place just looks and feels the same, with no hipster-ish pretense and a seeming aversion to changing its working class and family-oriented atmosphere to go along with whatever current futbol game is on their flatscreen. It's just one of those places that if I lived a few blocks away, i'd definitely find myself being a regular.

What a great surprise! We were wandering through the Mission District, hankering for a bit of something deliciously local, and voila - Dona Mago. The food is cooked as you wait (you can do take-away if you choose, we saw many who did) and is so fresh and hearty and delicious. I tried the special of the day with the pork & nopales and it was amazing. The chips and salsa are terrific, the beans and rice are perfectly cooked - just the way you'd want them from a little place like this. I can't for the life of me, remember what my husband had, but I know he loved it. I'd stop in here every day if I could. Yum.

I live right around the corner and go here about 3 times a month. My usual is the carnitas super burrito. It's a very solid burrito, both in terms of taste and portion size. The rice and refried beans are both very good, and there's a generous portion of guacamole. The carnitas always has good flavor, though it can be dry occasionally. I've also tried the tortas and would recommend them as well. The service is fast and friendly. Doña Mago is a reliable choice for a bite if you're in the neighborhood.

Oh, I remember this building. It was the place where Ginger, Sally Hawkins' working-class character, lived when Cate Blanchett's upper-crust character, Jasmine, suddenly broke and alone, comes to crash there in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine". It's in IMDB. Look it up. Truth be told, Ginger probably couldn't afford the rent there, but wouldn't it have been great if she and Jasmine went downstairs to have a chimichanga as Jasmine blathered on about tipping big. I doubt if Jasmine could stomach the food here, but Cate probably would and so do I. I was in the mood for a rib-sticking Mexican breakfast, and I noticed this place offered a solid breakfast menu when I walked by on my way to the Mission. When I entered, it was fairly empty except for a handful of regulars at one of the tables. There were at least 17 different breakfasts available in the $10-12 range, so I made a random choice picking the $10 Huevos a la Mexicana which was scrambled eggs with green hot peppers (presumably jalapeños), tomatoes, and onions. It came with Mexican rice, a wedge of queso fresco, and a substantial pool of frijoles (photo: http://bit.ly/2C4LX8v). This gave me a reasonable excuse to devour the warmed flour tortillas that came with it. Oh and did I mention that they gave me a complimentary basket of chips with two different salsas (photo: http://bit.ly/2wALCVl)? Of course it all hit the spot...over and over again. FOOD - 4 stars...desayuno muy bueno, senor AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...pretty spartan in here SERVICE - 4 stars...they were quite obliging to this gringo TOTAL - 4 stars...as Jasmine said, "Tip big, boys!"
