Not my first choice, and it looked like it might be blocked off by sidewalk construction (it was still open). The place heavily promoted iconography of El Salvador; I like my Latin American food but the distinctions between the numerous countries still largely elude me. It's clearly important to them though, as some passion went into this place. Starting out with a horchata yielded a nutty beverage (when this is done properly, it has a lot of ground sesame seeds) which was quite rich and not excessive in its sweetness. My vegetarian platter, on the other hand, was heavy on carbs but excellent in variety. Rice, beans, corn, yuca, a bit of plantain, it was all there. I wondered where the hot sauce was, only to find that what they introduced as a mango salsa also had habanero. Everything there was fresh and distinctive, and I saw some pupusas being grilled in the back that I would have been happy to try.

We were in town for a soccer tournament.... (I feel that's how I start every review lately...travel team) ok, that's just to say this place was in the proximity and I'm not familiar with the area at all. There is street parking only which can be a down sometimes. But we made it work. We wanted some Latin flavor and they deliver. It felt very authentic and the portions were decent for the price. The place is very spacious and they play good background music. Totally family friendly. The staff was nice & genuine.

Exquisite. Period. Want an experience fresh and made instantly beyond your wildest expectations? Conga! Hurry on in... you will not be dissatisfied or disappointed.

As usual, the food is delicious and service is friendly. I have been coming to this restaurant since it opened, and always return when I want something delicious and comforting and reasonably priced. I usually get the Salvadorean Bandeja, but this time tried the tostones and didn't regret it. I got a side of curtido as well as ordered the plantain chips with the chimichurri and mango salsa. Give this location a try if you haven't yet! It's casual and friendly.

Terrible. Seriously, this is probably the worst Latin American food I've ever had. My wife had the steak and it was full of gristle and grease. I had the tostones. Although they were edible, they were far from good. The meat was actually cold and tasted like it came from a can. Hardly any spice or flavor. Not only was the food pretty weak, it was pricey and didn't come with chips or much else. Pretty disappointing because we wanted to have a special meal and enjoy a new restaurant. But, Conga sorely was lacking in all respects. The only positive is the food came out quickly (however, that could've been because we got some cold leftovers). Still, that isn't much of a redeeming quality since we could've gotten fast service at Taco Bell and the taste would've been better than this. Avoid. There's so many other good restaurants in Chattanooga. For decent Latin American food, go to Mayan Kitchen on Broad St. MUCH better than Conga.

The Salvadoran platter!

Thank you to Yelp for helping us find this gem of a restaurant when we were visiting Rock City in Chattanooga. The name of the restaurant is what caught my attention. It reminded me of Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine of the 1980's lol. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. The menu offered a wide range of appetizers and "platters" as well as beverages. Mind you, their platters are huge and can be enjoyed family style. We ordered choripanes which are four mini Argentinian hot dogs that really a toasted baguette filled with chorizo and topped with chimichurri sauce. I had never had these before and they were superb! We also had empanadas (beef), popusas (spinach and cheese), and a platter of nachos (chicken) that was much more than I expected. Everything we ordered left us enchanted as each order was freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The tostones barbacoa we had never heard of so we gave it a try. These are smashed plantains topped with barbacoa and guacamole. They taste much better than they sound! We also ordered their Caribbean, Vegetarian, and Salvadoran platters. The Salvadorean was our favorite because it was such a variety of food; two popusas, grilled choroizo, a chicken tamal, and a few more items. We were a party of six and considering how much food we ordered, together with our beverages, our total bill was more than reasonable. I highly recommend you visit Conga and enjoy their hospitality and exceptional food. Enjoy your visit!

The food was delicious. I ordered the South American bandeja, chips and queso(which came with a delicious chimichurri sauce), and the mango juice. Everything was really good and I would recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back to try more items. It's a small low key type of place but the workers were nice and you can still sit down and be served.

If you're looking for delicious Latin food you've found the spot. Authentic and good quality, service is good, sangria is perfect on a hot day. It's easy to walk by Conga and not realize some of the tastiest pupusas are hidden inside. Definitely stop in and enjoy some local, Latin flavor served with a smile!

Agave and Rye was an absolute standout. The menu is packed with so many creative, over-the-top taco…read moreoptions that choosing just a few felt almost impossible in the best way. I ended up going with the taco flight and selected two Crown Jewel tacos -- the truffle mac and cheese with lobster -- along with one Island Banger, featuring coconut shrimp and mango salsa. Every single taco was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, layered, and genuinely exciting. What really sets them apart is their signature double-tortilla approach: a fried hard shell tucked inside a soft tortilla. It creates the perfect contrast of crunch and softness in every bite and holds up incredibly well to the generous fillings. Between the inventive combinations, fun menu, and the unbelievable execution, this was a top-tier taco experience from start to finish.

I can't speak to the other wait staff, but our guy clearly had other things on his mind. Every part of our visit took way longer than it should have. We were done about 30 minutes before we ever managed to get our checks and pay. So, I'd make sure to pay for a couple of hours of parking. I'm going to attribute all that to this particular waiter, and judge the place on its other merits. The person you get might be quick and attentive. All in all, this place wasn't my cup of tea, to be charitable. The decor was pretty over the top. Young adult is obviously their demographic. I'm 65, so take that into account. Taste, of course is an individual thing. Therefore, I'm giving the food about a 7, the ambiance a 2, and hope I'm never served by our waiter again .

The bathrooms are always clean, which I appreciate. Paid street parking is usually easy to find, though during busy hours it can take a little more time. The veggie fajitas are an absolute treat and full of flavor. The guacamole is fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa is truly top notch. One of the most delightful surprises is that the churros are vegan, and they are unforgettable. The Papillón dish is especially meaningful. It can be made vegan and comes from the owner's grandmother's recipe in Guatemala. That personal touch really shines through and makes the menu feel inspired and unique. There used to be a young blonde male bartender who was hands down one of the best servers I have ever had. He was personable and somehow remembered both your order and your conversations even months later. That level of hospitality really stood out. Prices are not cheap, and the ingredients are not explicitly organic, but the quality, flavor, and thoughtful menu make it well worth it. Highly recommend if you are looking for consistently great food and a standout dining experience in Chattanooga.
