Not sure where to start here…takes forever to get a beer, even on a quiet day. The music they play does not fit the vibe (Katy Perry at a Mexican joint?), tacos are average, outdoor furniture is a mixture of nice tables and cheap plastic picnic tables (not to mention the plastic storage container falling apart on the patio). Just feels like there’s no effort being put in anywhere. And then they charge $65 (before tip) for chips, salsa, queso, 5 small tacos, and two light beers. Owner and manager need to figure it out…

Wow...a little disappointed in this place. I come for happy hour all the time and it's great. Good margs, decent tacos. Not so impressed with dinner. First of all, the music was so loud, it was like being in a club, not a restaurant. Couldn't hear each other talk. Service was severely lacking. I think they might have been short staffed. I will say, they tried to make it up to us by buying the kids meal that they forgot to make, which is appreciated, but we ordered it first, and it came out last. Not impressed with the enchiladas as all. Appetizers and drinks are good as always, so I think I'll stick with happy hour.

Music is too loud. Server never heard what I was saying to him. The guacamole was very small and overpriced. And the margarita was served in a small rocks glass and not tasty. I don't usually write such critical reviews; I've been here before for happy hour, and everything was great. I had tacos and Sangria that time. Turn the music down, no one wants their dinner partner getting up close to be heard and spitting masticated corn chips on their face.

Went during restaurant week, arrived a little more than an hour before close. Seated pretty promptly. When I mentioned I was doing the Restaurant Week first I ended up ordering all at once and the food prep much came in rapid succession. I couldn't tell if this was just prompt service or getting me out the way. One thing that wasn't prompt refilling my water to the point I had to audibly speak up to get service. Maybe she's new. The rattlesnake chorizo is just meh, maybe I'm biased, maybe it was dry. So the gringo was a miss.Still here?? Cool. The adobo taco? Fantastic. Beans and rice came with the tacos which was a nice addition. I'm a margarita snob and can confirm their house marg does indeed slap. Also digged on the queso with the chorizo from earlier, must've gotten lost amongst all the flavors.End of day? I'd have again. Maybe just a different server though.

Waiting 30 mins to even be acknowledged is horrible customer service. All I wanted was a "I'll be right with you". No one spoke to us when we walked in and no one checked on us after we got our food. But was quick to give me my bill.
I have been coming to Los Chingones since its inception. We are vegetarian love coming for the cotija tacos, which came with some veggies, cabbage and sauce. We were disappointed to find that the cotija tacos are now filled with large chunks of carrot, and little else. It seems obvious that they are looking for a low cost item to fill the taco. I am not interested in chunky carrot tacos. Sadly, not sure I will return. ?

There were 4 of us for a business meal. Unfortunately we were also dining on Valentine's Day. While they did have a special meal for Valentines couples, we ordered off the menu. All of us had the 3 taco special. We started with appetizers of Tacquitos and also Brussels Sprouts. The food was superb. Service was good, but not great. Allegedly their computer system went down which slowed them down quite a bit. While we had a 6:30 reservation, we weren't done until 8:30. We probably would have ordered more food and cocktails if our waitress was a bit more attentive. We were also seated in the #Hashtag restaurant next door. Assuming they're owned by the same people.

The happy hour at this place is amazing! They were slammed but the service was still excellent. Walker took excellent care of me at the bar! The house marg is $5 and delicious. Salsa flight was good, the habanero was my fav and then the tomatillo. I had one of each happy hour taco and the shrimp was my fav followed by the pastor. Definitely recommend checking this spot out.

The drinks are by far the best part! Very well made and delicious. Good variety. The appetitizers are enjoyable and shareable. The tacos are pretty good but just tacos. Easy parking.
