About El Chingon Tex-Mex Restaurante & Bar

El Chingon Tex-Mex Restaurante & Bar in Union, NJ, is celebrated for its flavorful dishes and lively atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with highlights including the Arrachera a la Mexicana, featuring excellent churrasco, tasty rice, and beans. The birria tacos, steak tacos, and steak quesadillas are also exceptional. The guacamole is made fresh and is highly praised by customers, though some guests add a little salt for more flavor. The chicken enchiladas have amazing sauce, and the salsa, red sauce, and green sauce are very good. The full bar provides a wide range of beverages, especially popular margaritas like the margarita jalapeño, and the frozen drinks are considered very strong. The fajitas (chicken/steak/shrimp) are highly recommended, cooked perfectly, and very tasty. The meat tower is also described as delectable. The queso is a favorite among diners as well. The space is large and decorated with colorful art, sombrero, and tequila bottle chandeliers, creating a fun and vibrant environment. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, making it a favorite spot for many. Music and live singing add to the lively vibe, though it can get very loud, making conversation difficult. The ambiance is very decent and the place looks fun, but the walls are disgusting. Food is mostly okay and good, but priced too high. Drinks are way too high. Service is okay and attentive, though some guests wish staff checked on them more often, and there is an automatic gratuity added to the bill. Portions are generous. Free parking is available in the back.

The food is really good. Also the waiter Rossi is a very attentive person and i really appreciate that. We will definitely be coming back.
Love! Love! Love! This place hands down the strongest frozen drinks I every had. I was already leaning after just a few sips. The food was fresh seasoned well and the server was top notch wish I could remember his name but like I said the drink had me bent lol. I will definitely be back next week. Now my favorite closing. This place was AMAZING!!!
I've been coming here for several years. The service, staff, and food are good. My only suggestion is that the music is too loud; it's almost impossible to have a conversation.
