El Chingon is a lively spot with a great vibe, playing a variety of music including top 40, Latin, and country. The staff is friendly and welcoming, providing a comfortable feel with amazing decor to look at. There is a good selection of beers and liquor available. The food is enjoyable, with standouts like the badass chipotle fries served with guacamole and salsa, mango habanero wings, and a surprisingly large and flavorful Mexican Pizza. While some dishes may be plain, the overall experience is fun, especially during the awesome happy hour from Mon-Fri 2 to 6, featuring margaritas for $6 and a set of 3 crispy rolled tacos with toppings for $5. El Chingon has outlasted many big clubs and the owner is known for caring about his customers, making it a great spot to visit, especially in the evening.
