El Chingon

Our Halloween pub crawl kicked off from here. It was a nice day so we enjoyed the open air seating of the large wrap-around patios. The decor is really fun if you like sugar skulls! The servers were friendly and efficient. We did not try the food. There was loud DJ music playing inside for a party vibe. Great location in the heart of the bar district.

Everything I tried was good. Hot food was hot, cold dishes were cold. Wait staff courteous and priced right.

The food was really good! We went at happy hour for margs and they were okay. We got the loaded fries and the nachos and both were on the happy hour menu. The fries were amazing. The service was awful. We were there between 4 and 5 and the restaurant was not full at all. We were frequently having to waive down the waitress.

Food/drinks decent at best and I am being generous.Employees are rude, disrespectful and completely untrained. The so called "General Manager" thinks he owns the town with his little job, the most prepotent and unprofessional individual there is, no wonder the staff is so horribly trained.First time in town trying to get the TX experience but boy! what a bunch of uneducated, rude employees this place has, starting from the "GM".Sad that a place represents a city so badly!

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz**** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: bottle service/drinks! A great staple on 7th street to complete your bar hop stops. I love this place because they make the best paletta shots! THE VIBE: very colorful, lowkey rockstar vibes, pink heavy. Attracts a Latin crowd but I love going here because vibes are always lit and they play music from all genres. Definitely gives a more club vibe than bar but it's technically a lit bar/restaurant. PRICE: gifted WOULD I COME BACK? Yes.**** Overall Rating: 8.5/10- One of my favorite bars on 7th street, @jackiegnunez invited me to show me all the great food options they have and the happy hour prices they offer! - El Chingon is a known spot for good Latin music and great vibes. Their bottle service sections come at such an affordable price you can party with your friends on a budget but still have a good time. Some of the menu prices are listed towards the end. They have different prices ranging in different days. - If you don't drink and just wanna enjoy some good bar food, El Chingon has so many different options at such a CHEAP price! You can't go wrong with loaded fries and I recommend trying them and the super sandia drink! I don't even like beer but the fresh water melon bowl and chamoy really took it to the next level. - Jackie recommended the carnita tacos to me but only got one but I wish I got them all carnita bc the meat was super juicy and delicious. Maybe skip out on the grilled chicken options!- Whether you come here at night or come enjoy a fun afternoon with friends, definitely come to 7th street and don't forget to stop by El Chingon.

Directly across from the tattoo studio I was getting work done at....the music and aroma from the food was calling me. I had a two hour wait til my appointment time anyways. I wasn't about to venture far in 6 inch heels so why not take a seat close by. I'm glad I did!I starting eating so quick I half heartedly took pictures for you guys ;) When you check in here, you get a Chef's pick for free. My son chose the Queso Fundido and added Carne Asada. Chips with Salsa Verde and Tomato Salsa are complimentary. I ordered the Fresh Mex Salad with a avocado vinaigrette dressing minus the Corn with Shrimp and Shredded Chicken. The shredded chicken wasn't my favorite because it was like a sweet barbecue shredded chicken.There's not a lot of teas, and non alcoholic beverages here at least that's what I was told :(I was driving too far so I couldn't risk it. But I really love the atmosphere. They have tv screens everywhere. Cigarette machine on back patio. Small dance area. Fights are shown here. DJs are requested here. I would love to come back just to dance and look at all the beautiful people on Friday and Saturday night.

I was there yesterday for a friend's birthday. There was a girl dancing like a stripper on the table so much to where I thought I was at a strip club, her entire vagina was out and then her boyfriend started fingering her. The entire bar and staff just watched. Disgusting. Especially since they serve food. Trashy af go somewhere else.

A group of friends and I visited last Sunday for brunch and to have a few cocktails. When we arrived around 1 the restaurant had a few people in there. It's noted to seat your self which we did. We waited for about 15-20 minutes before the bartender came from around the bar since she noticed we never were greeted/helped. She took both food and drink orders and we were delivered both the food and drinks back in about 10 minutes. The food was just okay nothing to rave over (a couple friends went to eat someplace else after because they were not impressed.) and the cocktails were "watered down" (this was coming from the 5 other people I was with). We really wanted this place to be good because a few of us had visited the San Diego location and it is consistently good.

We were at La Chingona and arrived early , place was empty and chill, so we had a table at the very front, no one ever told us it was a reserved table or anything, passed 12 am the securities arrived and very rudely just started saying, yall gotta move yall gotta go, and we were like what? Apparently they had sold the table and were rushing us out. We were just trying to get our belongings and they were trying to kick us out. Awful service, not even a " hey we need the table for a service or nothing" worst service ever.

Elotes were good Rolled tacos: chicken was dry, and you could taste the peanut oil they used. Service sucked, wasn't sure who the server was, and we were ignored a lot. Food came out at different times. Def more of a bar vibe than restaurant so have low expectations on food quality.
