Good place. Crowd and with good music. It seems is the place on fifth avenue. Lot of young people. If you like a live place with huge of happy people is the place.
Great food, great vibes and spectacular service! Our Server-Ray was pretty awesome, attentive and aimed to please. Perfect low key spot to eat and drink. Highly recommend! Thanks Ray!!
This place has great ambiance, amazing food, and very friendly staff!!! The cocktails are excellent and they even have Don Julio 1942 on tap! 🙀🙀🙀 #goherenow #askforme
Great food and awesome happy hour specials. Would definitely recommend the Margarita flight
This place is badass!! Great food, drinks and service! Really liked the art work on the tables very unique!
El Chingon is awesome! I had been meaning to come check it out for a while now and I finally did and they get my full endorsement. I tried their rolled tacos with flaming hot cheetos. Didn't really know why I was getting into with the rolled tacos, but they were so good! After we ate we stuck around for some drinks and the whole place changed from a restaurant to a night club. They had the place bumping! Their staff was great. Bartenders and cocktail waitresses were awesome! Check it out for dinner or if you want to party.
Awesome service, great selection of tequilas, to die for margaritas.! we had a wonderful Cinco De Mayo lunch. Hasta Luego
Great service, cool atmosphere, and awesome fish tacos. Highly recommend!
From all restaurants in the Gaslamp areas I picked to eat here.
Me and my husband chose to eat outdoor dining because we could hear the music from outside already so it would be too loud for us to be eating in indoor dining plus the weather was not that bad at the time.
Sergio was our waiter and he was really helpful and friendly.
The food that we got was good.
I got myself a “la típica torta” and the size of the sandwich was little too big for me I wish I knew I would’ve order something else with smaller portions.
My husband he had birria taco.
Overall everything was good.
Rico our server was GREAT!! The food amazing!! The cheese fried barria taco was a hit at our table. We highly recommend the drinks too we had the frozen margarita they have lots of flavors. Highly recommend this place for lunch / dinner! My friends had such a great time and friendly staff!! ❤️
Love the great service and great music! This place is small but worth going to. The food is good as well. They show the games but I would say it’s more bar then sports bar.

Having visited from Hawaii, we definitely wanted our fill on Mexican food. Is this authentic? I dont know, but it was good and plentiful.
Located in the heart of the Gaslamp district, it's lined up with eateries galore surrounding it. However, the food as we passed by looked outstanding. And it was. The energy was contagious, they have a DJ inside if you dine in. We dined outside and as it was Labor Day weekend, pumped with people all over.
Having checked in on Yelp, we received a free ceviche!! It was packed, flavorful and delicious. Thanks Yelp for allowing us a free item to try! My friend and I both got enchiladas. I got cheese, she got chicken. The rice that came with the plate was just ok and I'm not huge on beans so left them behind. I also ordered a veggie taco. Ok that I could have done without. It was i believe deep fried (the tortilla) but chewy when i got it. Bleh. Plus the amount of chips w salsa, the free Yelp ceviche and our entrees was more than enough that we could not finish.
By the time we were leaving, there was a carded line forming. Maybe with the DJ, it becomes a dance party too. lol.
My high score is for service, atmosphere and amount of food. Again, the ceviche wAs bomb and enchiladas filling. If you don't like loud and fun, this is not a place for you. If in the area again, I would definitely return.
The food was good . I had a quesadilla with carne assada that would serve two people . The margarita was just ok , nothing special. The service was good. The place was crowded due to Comicon. The decor was really cool
(Was here for lunch)
Pros:
- food was good not fantastic. Had flavor and was tasty. Would I come here agin - no likely but a good first experience.
- nice Mexican atmosphere. Had fun decor
- seating was good. Didn’t feel like I was on top of everyone.
- good location
-my server was amazing and attentive
-food came fas- chips and salsa came with meal
Cons:
-wanted to see what was on menu before committing- the hostess gave us the menu walked away and never came back so we ended up seating ourselves.
Overall good experience. A good one time try.
We actually were trying to go to Havana 1920 but they were full so we were seated in El Chignon which are connected to each other. Can order from both menus.
In addition to cuban sandwich and empanadas we got carna asada street tacos. Very good and fresh. Excellent chips too and salsa verde is awesome. Excellent Mexican. Watch out for the bill though. They pass on the credit card surcharge to the customer!! Can't give them top rating for this reason. Tell the customer BEFORE you run their card El Chingon! See pic.
My wife and I were there for a concern,had sometime to spare stop and couldn’t be happier to have done so! Best balanced margaritas we have ever had and also the food was just as balanced. Usually u have something bad to say that didn’t go well at a restaurant or bar but everything was ok here.
Really cool vibe, food is really good, tacos were so dang good, enchiladas were also fantastic, heck; the chips and salsa were even fresh. Salsa not that watery cheap stuff, oh no! Three different flavors were served with the chips. All three were tasty!!
Now!! The Margaritas made by Joe were the best my wife and I have had, Classic Margarita on the Rocks... Heck yes, you'll love them... Full bar, so they'll have your favorites..
Service was top notch 👌 by everyone working on 9-24-22
Thanks,
Robert and Cece Burke
One of my San Diego favs! Insane drinks and food, excellent service! Must try!!
All the staff here was friendly and helpful. Food was good and drinks were even better. Will definitely visit again!
They have quite delicious food but you're definitely going to wait a long time getting in if you're coming during a weekend. It gets VERY busy here. The inside is mostly just a dancefloor with a bar, but it also has a very long wait to get into during the weekend. The nachos are delicious though.
Friendly & attentive service, vibrant atmosphere, and tasty food and drinks. Recommended!
I had been here 2 years ago. I’m so happy to see it’s still running during COVID. The food size was decent and tacos were amazing. I highly recommend the dish with shrimp, steak, and chicken. The waiter also gave us a fire show over the pan. You can choose indoor or outdoor. I have never been to the evening dinning session, but heard that pretty amazing with great DJ too. All in all, I highly recommend here for their amazing food and good service.
Great food, I had the potato taco and the shrimp taco and they were both amazing. The server Rico was funny and attentive. Overall enjoyed my time there.

This was a cool place. My first time there. They had options that were good for all diatery needs which we always appreciate. Our server was nice and friendly and the hostess was very accommodating. The drink was delicious and fun with the popsicle and candy stick. Love the idea of flamin' hot cheetos in my burrito! The reason I'm giving it a 4 star is because the kitchen did not put the badass ingredients in my burrito that I paid extra for which frustrates me because though I got the ingredients on the side, any burrito lover knows how much better it tastes when all of the flavors are together in there. It slightly ruined my food experience. It's a cool place. Extra bonus, the red salsa is AWESOME
