Taqueria Don Chago

I definitely give this place FIVE Stars. Food was phenomenal. Service was outstanding and the atmosphere was perfect. Big shoutout to the chef and management. Great authentic taste and the servings were huge! I will definitely be back!

It's another Taco Tuesday excursion.Don Chago is the Tri County Mall block, right across the street from the FedEx Kinkos on Springfield Pike.It wasn't very crowded for a taco Tuesday night around 6:30 p.m. Nonetheless, the atmosphere and music was very nice. I enjoyed the very festive music, and the servers and wait staff were very polite.I had 3 street tacos:Taco Chicken / PolloTaco Chorizo / Mexican SausageTaco Barbacoa / Pulled Beef1 Strawberry Daiquiri 1 Topo ChicoI expected them to be delicious, and they didn't disappoint!!!! I'd go back there with a GROUP!

If 3-stars is Okay; this is a 2.5-star review,I really wanted to enjoy a great Mexican meal, but Don Chago did not live up to the experiences of other reviewers.The business was essentially empty on a Monday at dinner time. Weird.The chips and salsa arrived promptly. Both are excellent! The mixed fajitas (shrimp, beef & chicken) followed shortly - hot food, hot. Plenty of tortillas! The beef - just, ugh. Three large pieces of gristle hiding amongst the edible beef. No problems with the shrimp or pork.Service was excellent. The beer was ice cold.The restroom - good grief. The urinal was not draining and filled to the brim with stinking urine that had been ignored for too damn long - all day? Disgusting.Will I return? Probably not.

We stopped by for an early dinner not realizing that it was Happy Hour. Our drinks were half price!!!! I had a huge margarita and my husband had a beer. Miguel, our server was great! He was funny, friendly and kept an eye on us. He greeted us with comp chips and salsa and started to banter. The menu is traditional. I was craving a salad and had the taco salad with chicken. It was good with a freshly made tortilla shell. My husband had a burrito and enchilada combination plate and raved about the spicy verde sauce. Good meal.The place is colorful and cute inside. Festive Latin music was playing that made me want to get up and dance after that margarita. They have a full bar. I think they are known for their tacos. Next time I would try those. They are located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Great meal, great fun place, great deal! Will come back.

I know that I give a lot of 4 star ratings but if the food is good and there is nothing wrong with the service and I would come back that is where I usually land. I reserve 5 stars for the best of the best. Given that we really enjoyed the food here although oddly there was not another soul in the restaurant at 1:30 in the afternoon. My peach mango margarita was delicious and refreshing. I also ordered the birria tacos and enjoyed those as well. My cousin ordered the nachos, al pastor version and also a tamale on the side. I would suggest that if you are getting the nachos make sure you have a friend with you as the plate of nachos they brought out was huge! She really liked them and her tamale which she said was perfect. The interior has a lot of interesting artwork on the walls and is mostly like any other Mexican restaurant interior. We would stop here again if in the neighborhood.

Left Sam's Club hungry and my wife and I searched for Mexican restaurants near us and Taqueria Don Chago came up. And we are glad it did. Clean dining area and friendly staff and the food was the best Mexican I've had in a long time. Portions are huge though and to be honest the wife and I both got one and we could have ordered one with two plates and been more than full. Will come back and suggest others to go. The concern with that is it will be harder to get in once people discover this great food.

I've been here twice now and am impressed with the solidly authentic offerings. The atmosphere is clean and casual -- like a cross between a diner and a cantina. The service is always attentive, accurate, and pleasant. The menu is huge, with the traditional fare and a few offerings unique to Don Chago. So far my favorites here are the al pastor questadilla, the carmarones cucaracha (amazingly spiced), and the chimi cheesecake. I also got the taco asada, and was impressed at the thick soft tacos -- you can tell they were house-made, by a skilled hand. All in all, a place I'd bring a friend to relax and have some hearty, filling, Mexican comfort food.

Went to lunch with my husband yesterday and was really craving queso, so we stopped in to Taqueria Don Chago since theirs is extra good. It totally hit the spot. We also, of course, had chips and salsa. The chips are a little different than what you usually get at Mexican restaurants, but still good. The salsa was very black-pepper-y. My husband and I love black pepper, so we were good with it, but it might be a tad spicy for some. My husband ordered the chori-pollo lunch. It was the perfect portion size and came with tortillas to make little tacos. It was super good; they have great chorizo. The server was soooo kind and added to an already nice lunch experience.

It's now called Don Chago's. I recommend this place! We went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon.The nachos were SOOOO GOOD!! Everyone (even the picky ones) loved their food. The chimichanga, the tacos, the salsa - all really delicious. The 12 Oz margarita was really good frozen. The one that my friend got on the rocks was not quite as good. Our server was adorable, very attentive and sweet.Inside it's kind of a modern industrial look/feel. It's pretty cool

I stopped by here while visiting an antique mall nearby. The inside was roomy and decorated very nicely the server was very nice as well as the employee who brought out the food. I came with a party of four and we only got one basket of chips and one bowl of salsa for all of us. They were finished quickly and we waited a good while for our food to be prepared. The chips and salsa were very good. The menu was probably one of the worst I have experienced. It is quite limited and a little too a la carte for me. Their combination plates had zero detail besides for them having a burrito, tamale, or taco, so nobody knows what's inside or on top of them. Once the food arrived, it was pretty good and had HUGE portions. The green sauce on the burrito is spicy, be warned. The birria tacos were good but did not taste like authentic birria so I probably wouldn't recommend that. The shrimp tacos were good as well. Some people might not like the tacos because they are made from corn tortillas but I thought they were good. No harm in trying this place.
