Big Mic
Would give this place 10 stars if I could. They don’t just have great carnitas, they’ve got THE BEST carnitas. Unlike any other restaurants carnitas I’ve had. Definitely recommend you get that first. Their Chingon Papas are great. If you like a cocktail with some kick, try the Pistola.

Half of it is a bar/lounge, the other half had tables. It’s really dark and loud like a club. I would go there for drinks maybe but not to sit down and eat. I ordered to go and I guess the hostess couldn’t hear me because I got the wrong food. Portions are small and expensive. The rice and beans tasted like the ones you get at any cheap Mexican place. The chips were obviously the cheap ones from those huge bulk bags but they didn’t even fill the to go box more than halfway. The food tasted ok but it’s not worth the price.

I really enjoyed El Chingon! Cool ambience inside. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and attentive. Had the carnitas and it was out of this world, highly recommend! Pozole was also fantastic to start. Excellent margaritas too.

Staff was incredibly friendly. Drink was delicious. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was some of the WORST I’ve ever seen. Sitting at the bar, I saw approximately 100 fruit flies absolutely rushing their bar equipment and garnishes. There’s no excuse for that sadly. I’ve never, in all my life, seen so many fruit flies at a bar. It was disgusting. To make matters worse, this place masquerades as upscale dining, offering steak and surf and turf. People, if they can’t even keep their bar clean, how clean do you think the kitchen is? Again, staff was amazing and friendly.

El Chingon just opened back up and it’s great to see it back. The space is bigger and they are going to have a great patio this summer. Let’s talk about the food! The dishes are family recipes modernized by their amazing chef. I had the Carne Asada and it was . Their Carnitas plate is amazing too. Shout out to Oscar for taking care of us during a very busy evening. Make time for this place. It’s worth the visit. We’ll be back!

They recently started doing grab and go breakfast burritos. 4-6 dollars 5/5 stars. Kind people. A welcomed addition to the block. Visit them. Metropolis has the coffee, they got the grub
