In 1995 they released their second LP ''[[Don Caballero 2]]'' to positive reviews. Fans and critics alike hailed the record as a math rock landmark, and its release significantly widened their audience. Though some early reviews noted jazz-like qualities, there was actually little if any improvisation; the group was tightly rehearsed, and the liner notes for their second album state that "Don Caballero is rock not jazz, Don Caballero is free from solos."

In the wake of their second release, Che and Williams expanded their respective musical palettes: Che with his [[Van Halen]]esque [[TheeThe Speaking Canaries]] (featuring bassist [[The Karl Hendricks Trio|Karl Hendricks]] and drummer [[Noah Leger]]) and Williams with [[Storm & Stress]], an [[Experimental rock|avant-garde rock]] trio featuring bassist [[Eric Emm]] and drummer [[Kevin Shea]].

In 1997 the group reconvened after an almost two-year hiatus, with original bassist Pat Morris back in the fold. In the following year the band released the follow-up to ''Don Caballero 2'', ''[[What Burns Never Returns]]''. Again their work was critically lauded and the band continued to tour, playing to crowds of fervent fans.
