Someone name drops El Chucho. This crew is clearly full of sophisticated intellectual musicians and scholars because we all immediately know it's a the right choice. Enter the building: it's busy. It's always busy! BECAUSE ITS GOOD you understand? BUT somehow by the grace of baby Jesus we snag a good table. Tequilas all around because that's what El Chucho does. We order tacos of course. But here's where I make aove that might seem out of ordinary, it might raise eyebrows. BUT I DONT CARE. I'll say it proudly: there's a lot of places you can get a good taco in this city, but the reason I pick El Chucho is because they have the ultimate tiebreaker: their BLACK BEANS ARE JUST DIFFERENT TRUST ME. So I ordery tacos and then I say "and a side of beans" and wait for the reaction from the table. But again, this is a crew of sophisticated intellectual musicians and scholars. They're already hip to it. THEY KNOW that El Chucho is cooking up the best side of beans in the city. BUT WAIT. Out sever hits us with a curve ball: Black beans are OUT, it's PINTO beans now. WHAT. After some initial shock and consolations around the table, We recognize that wait... we TRUST this institution with our taste buds. If they made the change it was for good reason. If they made the change the change is for the better! SEND THE PINTO BEANS. This is Yelp so I'll spare you the details of the beers and tequila that followed. The stories of love and heartache and television fame and laughter and good times. THIS is what El Chucho is for! And because of the five-stars above and because of the trajectory of the narrative thus far, you already know there's no disappointment here, you already know that the pinto beans were fantastic. I may still maybe prefer the black beans, but this was a equal trade-off. Thai was best for best. So of course I'm still coming to El Chucho for tacos because they still have the best tiebreaker in the city: THOSE PINTO BEANS

Nothing over the top or super fancy about the space which is actually refreshing. Although it was a Monday there was a fairly decent crowd and apparently they feature an all day happy hour menu on this day which had items such as street tacos, guacamole, queso as well as beer and shot specials. Quality service overall the bartender was easy to get a hold of whenever I needed something. I decided to order the al pastor and brisket tacos. Both options were very good, fresh ingredients and toppings and the meats were flavorful and not dried out. All in all no complaints about my taco experience, definitely recommend giving them try whenever you're in the area.

(It looks like it used to be an American diner). Everything is made to order right in front of you and it's all fresh. I had carne asada tacos and carnitas tacos with black beans and rice. You can order à la carte or as a platter - I chose the platter because I was hungry! They were delicious- especially the carnitas! All the accompaniments are authentic and super fresh. The tortillas are made on site and sooo soft and tasty. We also ordered chicken flautas which come with créma and guacamole. These were also very tasty. The restaurant seems to be run by a couple.

They lacked the intense flavors of the other tacos and while none were bad, I wouldn't get them again. Shrimp: My wife did not really like this one. Passionfruit Flan: Very subtle and not too sweet.

Those were honestly my favorite. The bacon was chrisp and the shrimp moist and succulent. They were over cooked but in all fairness. The bacon needed to be crippling, which is was and the plate it hot so it continues to cook. They were still my favorite. #BaconEverything The steak was supposed to be medium but I didn't mind that it was medium well. It was a great cut however the seasoning was lacking. It came with the traditional toppings but I opted for sour cream on the side. I love a good resturant grade salas but theirs is flat. It needed some more seasoning. The port was ample and enough for 2 of us to share. The tortillas are almost like gorditas or papoosas they're so big. I had to cut mine. I didn't love it but didn't hate it either. Its definitely for a croud that wants Main stream Texmex. I love authentic with a Tia in the kitchen and abuela giving orders. It was packed for a Saturday but we ate outside. The resturant has more than enough room. Its pretty open for group seats. I didn't get a drink but they looked great.

The food is definitely more Tex Mex than Mexican but has a homey feel. The tortillas are the thick style tortillas that go well with their chicken and steak fajitas (my go to and 100% recommendation for first time customers). If you like frozen margaritas, this is the place. They do swirls or single flavors and they are strong. Will always come back for a nice homey meal.

The staff are very friendly, however, it took a while to order and get our food and drinks even though it was not very busy. Having worked in restaurants for years, I completely understand some days are busier than others whether they are understaffed that day or back ups in the kitchen. We expected some delays due to Adam's Morgan being very busy that day. We ordered a Mango Margarita Pitcher for 3 of us and were disappointed when the pitcher did not even fill up 3 of our glasses. We each got a little more than half of a drink and were charged $45 for it. It would have been cheaper to do our own individual margaritas for $13. Our food was pretty good, however, we never did end up getting the complimentary chips and salsa and kept accidentally getting the table next to us's order. I shared the shrimp, steak and chicken fajita with my friend and the chicken and shrimp were really good but I was not a fan of the steak personally. It came with beans and rice mixed together and tortillas. I am not a fan of beans so i did not like that it was mixed but that was a personal preference. I wish it came with guacamole, sour cream or pico. Overall I would give it another chance but would not get the pitcher again. The margarita was okay but not very good and that might be due to the pitcher having a lotttt or ice in it. Our server was nice and i can tell they were just a little overwhelmed.
