The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. The margaritas are on the strong side and their jalapeño margarita is absolutely excellent!
The food is okay and the decor is cool, but my gripe is that the horchata tastes good, but it is heavy on the water, could come in larger glass. Also, if you ask for Horchata with no ice there is a $0.50 charge that will surprise you when you get your check. Nice people that work there, but the place could be better.
If you're looking an awesome Authentic Mexican restaurant, look no further! El Chingon has the best Mexican food I've had in the area, and I've lived here 6yrs. The interior is super inviting, a nice long bar, 3 televisions, numerous tables and booths, very comfortable. The service is superior, friIf endly, quick, and never leaves you asking for anything. El Chingon is a MUST TRY ????????
I've been wanting to try this place, but I abhor "live music" or any loud music when I'm trying to eat. It's my opinion that any place that has loud music or any live performance isn't actually a good place to eat.
Fortunately the Saturday night that we attended El Chingon there was no live music, although we did have to ask that the volume be reduced since we couldn't hear what each other was saying across the table without shouting. I had hoped that the food would be decent, but those hopes were fleeting.
We started with nachos and some drinks. The nachos were really good and the drinks were fantastic.
I ordered a combination plate with civeche, skirt stake and chicken wings. Everything was flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked to order and very juicy.
I don't know if it was the lack of other patrons on this bitter cold night, but service was fantastic since we were the only other table in attendance on a Saturday night.
Looking forward to going back again.
I came for a birthday, and I could not have felt more welcome. It was Karaoke night and a couple groups were singing hilarious karaoke. I don’t even sing karaoke but I gave it a try and I couldn’t have had more fun.
There was a seating area, a bar area with 2-3 large TV’s playing sports and other shows, so you get the best of both worlds: come on down for some drinks and a game by the bar area, or enjoy some delicious looking food with a date or friends in the seating area.
I joined the party late, but from what I heard, their food was fantastic! I have to give it a shot next time I visit, which is hopefully soon! I highly recommend everyone to give this place a shot!
