“ The food is fantastic Tastes authentic, great flavors, food was fresh and made to order. I think the tortillas were also handmade. Would definitely go back. The red chipotle sauce was our favorite. A great hole in the wall. Only cons: no a/c inside, small parking lot ”
“ This place has very good food! We have tried their street tacos, as well as their nachos. It was very quick service but also very fresh! Matthew was very helpful and courteous. Will continue coming here! ”
“ I really enjoyed eating at this place. It was a quick in, a quick order, and the food came out quick. My whole visit took less than 30 minutes. The staff was quite helpful and polite. Lots of fun music and smiles to go around. It was almost like a fiesta, but that happens every day. Everything seemed quite clean and the food tasted amazing. I would absolutely stop here and eat again. ”
“ We were planning on going to Red Iguana, but a 45 minute wait was beyond our timeframe (had a waxing appt rapidly approaching). We searched and found Chunga’s, luckily around the corner, it was just down the street (watch out for the homeless dog on the way, they’re monsters). Wow, our first time @ Chunga’s they gave us free drinks, a free sombrero, gave my daughter a Quinceanera, and the food was WAY better than McDonalds too! Can’t wait to see what happens on the second visit, free beer and a pony?? Great customer service (I always call customer service to verify they’re not robots) and I loved the enchiladas (didn’t get them, but watched the other customers eat them, and they looked happy, most of them at least). And it was way faster than FedEx too! ”
“ Wow! It's probably a good thing that Chunga's is located where it is. If it were more convenient to get to, I'd eat there way too often. Friendly staff on top of high quality, authentic Mexican food... I was in heaven. Loved the tacos Al pastor, but the steak corn quesadilla was awesome, too. Spicy chicken sopes were on point, as well. ”
“ I had perhaps the most magical tacos of my life at Chunga's. I don't know exactly what it was, but I do know that I eat a fair few tacos every week, and only very rarely do they even come close to this. If I were a betting man — and let's be clear; I'm not — I'd bet that it's the salsa they use in each taco. It was just spicy enough, very flavorful, and an excellent consistency with the meat. I understand there are more options than mere tacos, but next time I go, I'm getting the tacos again. And every time after that. I won't even hesitate. My only complaint with Chunga's is that it, at current, is only open three days a week. If I feel the itch on a Monday, I'm out of luck. On a Saturday, I'll just have to find something else. On a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday? That's the sweet spot. Gaze upon the tacos below. One is not actually a taco, though. It's a sope. I didn't eat it, but my friend said it was delicious. I trust him, but those tacos... ”
“ Literally so good. If you're looking for a delicious local restaurant go here it's on my top 10. It's just a fantastic humble local establishment, and everyone here is so nice I love it so much ”
“ The Al Pastor Gordita I had today at Chunga’s was the best I’ve ever had! The shell was hot and crisp. And the meat was so flavorful. My kids tried the enchiladas and my husband had a smothered steak burrito. The chips and salsa were great. Everything was fresh and delicious. We were completely satisfied. The dining are was clean and the service was friendly and fast. Thank you! ”
