The best Monte Cristo sandwich I've ever had!! And the onion rings were fantastic! Not greasy at all! The bar next door has a great variety of craft beer. Small place, and not fancy, but sooo good! And clean! Even during pandemic, we felt very safe here!! read more

It's a hole in the wall kinda place . Fish sandwich was gross to Spicy . Didn't think they have a ton of hot spices on fish . Chips and queso wasn't impressed with . Ppl friendly .. I think it's to expensive for low quality food . read more

You can order food from the kitchen and eat it in the wine/beer bar! Dont eat in that sad diner.

Innovative and tasty food. They deliver to the wine/brew bar next door. BTW, that bar has a very comprehensive selection of wine and beers. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Chupacabra Kitchen - Chicken Wings Near Me - Salado, Texas

It's 110 degrees outside and this place has no AC. Awful. They also run out of ice everyday.

I found this restaurant to be very disappointing. We were in town for the Annual Wildflower Arts & Crafts Festival and were starving. I ordered the BLT with fries and a Mexican coke in a bottle and it was very good, but not $19.00 good. That is robbery! We ordered the Queso as an appetizer and it was lukewarm, thick, gloppy and tasted like Rotel cheese dip! No, and I do mean no customer service. The young lady that brought our food to us (in a clear plastic to go box even though we were dining in) just brought the boxes over, asked " is that it?" and walked away. read more

Beau such a good employee so cheerful and helpful makes me wanna come back to eat here.

Super yummy!! Onion rings are amazing! My hubby didn't want to share lol. They're house sauce is excellent. Very friendly staff as well. Great place for a family lunch. read more

Small, clean place and food is delicious! Fish and chips were recommended and they were very good. Fish was battered nicely and fish was tender. We also got the Monte Cristo which was breaded well and delicious. The fries seasoning should be bottled for sale....so good. We will definitely stop again read more

Go to Chupacabra for the beer, not the food. The kitchen is separate from the bar, which is a good if you have kids. The atmosphere was calm, seemed like a good place to sit and have wine. The food was not good . Burgers were burned. read more

Was first trying this restaurant person at the counter was friendly but all down hill after that, the kitchen couldn't get it together, 3 tries and my sandwich was still wrong. (1) sent club, not what I ordered (2) got roast beef and put mustard not what I ordered (3) then sent same sandwich with mayo not what I ordered. We were sitting right by the kitchen so we could see and hear everything, they were joking around in the back and then got pissed off when I sent the sandwich back a 3rd time and then they were made because I wouldn't just eat. So I asked for my money back. While we were sitting there another order came back from a lady that was behind us and she asked for no onions due to being allergic. What do you think she got onions. Never again will I enter this restaurant. We are bikers and will try any restaurant and recommend, this one I will tell everyone don't do it!!! read more

One star because they were about the only restaurant open in town on a Monday night. My wife, mother and I stayed stayed in town and needed a dinner. In this place, you order at the counter and they will bring the food to you in the dingy back room - as we didn't eat in the bar which is a separate building. My wife my wife chose the fish and chips which was more like fish nuggets, but she said it was tolerable. Mom had the Monte Cristo and onion rings. The onion rings were obviously overdone, and the breading on the Monte Cristo was under done and doughy near the meat. The cheese on one side look to be Velveeta and the white cheese on the other side was normal, but the ham was simply sliced luncheon meat, like the cheapest stuff from a grocery store. Flavor was off, almost like the oil it was cooked in was rancid. Basically inedible. I had the patty melt. The meat Patty was overdone and tasteless - almost as if they put the meat Patty in the deep fat fryer and then pressed it on a grill. Rye bread was saturated with an off flavored oil and fried. I kept biting into it looking at it trying to figure out what was wrong. It was horrible. Tldr:. Bad food, way overpriced, place run by teenagers. Run far away! read more

We had the fish and chips which tasted fresh not frozen. The tartar sauce tasted like fresh made and the fries were delicious but overly salty. We ate outside away from the bar which was really noisy. You can eat the food in the bar but you have to order the food at the restaurant. read more

Only had drinks on our trip to Salado, but liked this place. Tons of choices from beers, to wines, to seltzers. Vibe was super friendly and I would like to go and try the food on my next trip. read more

What a nice addition to Salado-and it's next to my favorite watering hole. Food is delish! My favorite is the monte Cristo with a side of Brussel sprouts! Prices are great. Service is wonderful. Don't skip this place if you're in Salado! Bonus-they're open super late! read more

Took a chance after seeing a sign for this place and was not disappointed! The burger was amazing and the options for wine and beer next door are an absolute plus! Will stop by again on our way back from North Texas. Super friendly staff which is always a plus. It is a must try and repeat place! read more

The people are nice in here so this isn't in any way aimed towards the girl working the cash register! But what restaurant that has burgers, wings & salads in their advertisements, but doesn't have any burgers or wings 2 hours before they close on a Friday night? That wasn't all they was out of either, they didn't have half their menu items! Oh yeah not to mention no ice in the soda machine, she guessed it was broke! Come on management it's a Friday at 9-9:30 and your out of burgers & wings! I'm sorry there's gotta be a back up plan, or why else stay open so late? I guess your supplier is out of the biggest selling items on your menu! I just hope that you haven't been out all day or longer! That really wouldn't make since! But it is what it is, oh well! I'll be back, sometime! Have a goodnight! read more

Came out today to look around Salado and stopped here because of the reviews. I had the Monte Cristo. It was good but not the best I've ever hand and it did not come with the raspberry jam like a typical cristo. The onion rings were like fast food onion rings. Nothing special. My son had the Patty Melt. He said it was good but not as good as Whataburger!! My husband had the Chicken Corden Blue with grilled chicken and it was lacking in flavors. Fries were typical fries. read more

Food is pretty good! I was looking for a quick bite to eat and this was the only place open. It didn't disappoint. The menu sounded good, but I stuck with one of their salads. The chicken was great, but next time I go back, I'll indulge read more

Just awful on all levels. Service was bad, our food was tossed at us. Wings were ok, but they served us all flats. Not a problem for me, but my husband doesn't like flats at all. I got the Cajun chicken sandwich and it was flavorless. My husband complained and got the brush off. $50 before tip for curds, wings and a crappy chicken sandwich. Don't go here. Shame, we were looking forward to it. read more

The service is not consistent. Sometimes we have a good experience, other times, not so much. However, you just can't beat the selection of wines and beer. Plus, it's in a great location and they often have live music. Will return. read more

Don't order cheese steak sandwich, yuck! But I have had them at the best places, so my standards are really high.

We have had SOOOOOI much fun at this place!!! The drinks are awesome and the food is great and the locals are AMAZING!!! Ask for Chase.

Terrible terrible service. Told 30 mins wait. Asked for an update after 35 mins. Told 'it's coming out now'. After ten more minutes, went inside and asked again. Handed off to aggressive guy in kitchen when we asked for a refund. He got VERY aggressive and I felt very threatened by his manner. He refused a refund, so again we waited. . Food (not worth the wait) finally arrived after an hour plus of waiting. This wasn't during a particularly busy time. Neither cooks or runners were NOT wearing masks during the Covid pandemic. Appalled at the lack of customer service. read more

Ordered a cheeseburger and Brussel sprouts- don't laugh at the veggie. Sprouts made the meal. Definitely will return. It's a great lunch location. read more

I had a delicious swiss mushroom burger with a side of cucumber tomato salad, and my husband had the chicken everything salad. Both were very good - the burger was really juicy and tasty, and their salads are always well presented - loads of good stuff on them, they don't scrimp. I have had several other things there before, and it is always good. The cashier is very friendly and when they call your name for food pickup, she comes and delivers it to your table if she is not busy. All in all, a great experience! read more

Awesome service I had a burger and my friend had a salad both were excellent, Noah was super kind and helpful even brought our food next door. 10 stars thank y'all. read more

Great for a quick bite. The fish sandwich was tasty, golden brown and delicious made with cod. Fries are well seasoned.

Service - fantastic. Sangria/rose frozen swirl - incredible. Burger - juicy. Thai chili brussel sprouts - amazing! Atmosphere - awesomely eclectic. Would come back again and again and again. Love, a Country Jersey Girl. read more

Great food and great prices. The food quality is 5 star plus friendly staff made this a great experience. I highly recommend the burgers! So good!! You can eat at the restaurant or .... order food and head next door and enjoy wine & the largest selection of craft beer in Central Texas. The restaurant will deliver your food next door for free!! read more

The food is pretty good, but the bar service is horrible. I would say they should hire people that are out of high school, but that is a disservice to high schoolers. Good luck opening a tab - and if you buy anything, be sure to order it from someone that does not have to go look up the price. A great concept that will be short lived if they don't fix the staffing issues. They need to understand that customer service is a priority of successful a successful business. read more
