Came here on Taco Tuesday where they had $2 tacos I got one steak and one chicken. They came on corn tortillas. And of course they served chips and salsa. The salsa was spicy but it was good. I loved the tacos they were pretty good and pretty flavorful to me. The restaurant was located in like a strip mall but it was actually big on the inside. I also ordered a margarita. Which was pretty good and big for the price. And a side of rice which of course is always delicious.

Stopped in for some takeout for lunch and am so glad I did. The staff were exceptionally kind. I grabbed a shrimp taco, large queso, and small salsa for $11. Super great value for the amount of food I received. The taco was absolutely delicious. Simple, but so good. The queso was perfect-- creamy and flavorful. The food came out in ten min. I love the character and decor in the dining room.

It seems to be hit or miss when trying New Mexican restaurants. This one however, is a definite home run! The chips (while a bit plain) were far outweighed by the deliciousness of the salsa! Wow! Good stuff! I ordered the chicken fajitas and my coworker created her own bowl. We were both very impressed and happy with what we were served. Good flavor, texture, and temperature. The iced tea was also fresh and very good. Love the crushed ice! Our server (Ricardo L.) was fantastic. This place is a gem!

Very friendly service and huge portions. There is something for everyone. Loved the veggie bowl. Brought me extra beans, too. Three people shared a Hawaiian torta and carnitas nachos with leftovers!

First time trying Birria in tacos and it was quite tasty. The Burrito I had was very good. Ambiance was nice as I walked through the restaurant. It appeared that they were well staffed. All in all I was very pleased and will revisit once I've tried other places that have Birria

Can't remember the last time I authored a "First to Review" Yelp review, but it seems warranted here. (I'm sure the Yelp Powers That Be will correct me if I'm wrong.)Stumbling onto this fine taqueria was happenstance for us: We drove from Mt. Lookout one Sunday to get pupusas at the Salvadoran place about a mile south of here, but the restaurant was packed, and it looked like only one harried server was on duty. No thanks. We pulled up Yelp and found the well-reviewed "Taqueria El Monarca" and proceeded north.Finding El Monarca wasn't that easy, mainly because the listed address on Princeton Pike has a sign that spells out "Don Chago" in prominent lettering and depicts a stern-looking hombre. And shockingly, once inside we discovered that the restaurant's menus say "Taqueria Don Chago," too. Further, "Taqueria Don Chago" will appear on your check.As it turns out, this taqueria has been named Taqueria Don Chago for more than a year, but the last several Yelp reviewers were apparently oblivous to this name (and ownership?) change. (Fair mistake, perhaps: A sign over the bar still says "El Monarca.")Went with tacos: al pastor, barbacoa, and lengua. (It's always a plus to see tongue on a menu around here!). The prices seemed a bit high for the location--$4.50 for the lengua--but the kitchen is very generous with the meat. Very good, although the lengua could have been a little more tender.The menu generally appears to be seriously Mexican, with things like menudo, but then it also features some Tex-Mex (fajitas) and Americanized (a Chipotle-like bowl), too. There's something for everyone here, most likely.Staff could not have been more friendly--they were in the top echelon on that score.Decor in this rather large strip-center taqueria is industrial style: concrete floors, exposed ductwork, high ceilings.

I was in the mood for some authentic Mexican Street food and thought to give Don Chago a try - the service was good - we had one of those - lost in translation moments - but the server got another server who could explain the menu a little better and we were ready to get our grub on - the decor reminded me very much of any bar I might have gone to in Tijuana - very colorful interior with murals of hispanic luminaries - a bar set in the middle of the restaurant - a very nice drink offering - pretty much the standard taqueria fare - beer and margaritas - what's not to like about that? The food was very good - I had the shrimp fajitas and had to take some home - the chicken bowl was loaded - enough for two! The chips were fresh - but the picante sauce was a little bland - not a huge concern for the gustatory delights we tried - the dessert menu was missing the flan pudding and that was disappointing - all in all a great lunch!

Super friendly service. The gal seating us was all smiles and our server was enthusiastic and attentive also recommended some good tweaks to our order. The food arrived quickly, my son enjoyed his make your own burrito and I had tacos with carnitas and barbacoa. We were there on a Saturday evening it was mix of small parties and a few tables with large groups. Just the right amount of ambient noise of folks enjoying themselves with Mexican ballads in the background. Nice beer selection and a full bar. Food was great, I like this place!

We tried this place on a whim. while visiting from Michigan. We loved it so much we went back the next day. We had various street tacos: asada (steak), carnitas (pork), pollo (chicken). All were authentic, excellent and well-prepared. They are typical street taco size- probably you will need about 3 to make a full meal. We got two each and added a side of rice and beans, which were definitely large enough to share. The meal comes with fresh chips and salsa which is a must have at a place like this. Service was great too. Stacked up against the better taco shops we've been to. Highly recommend
