Giving this place two stars because they brought in a good act (Steve Trevino). If not for him, we would give one star. First as an event venue this sucked, the room was cool however putting seats on top of each other sucked. It was well over priced for this style of venue, especially when there is a two item minimum. Because the seats were so close there was no room to eat or sit comfortably. Especially during a global pandemic the seating was horrible! Employees had their masks down most of the time and being were very very slow. There are no tables to eat at unless you pay an ungodly amount for this type of venue. We did manage to try the tacos by taking turns holding drinks and leaning onto each other. As a Fort Worth transplant from San Diego I had much higher hopes for the food however it was very lackluster. read more

The environment to start is off the chart. It has such an upbeat vibe and the effort to decorate and add a twist is superb. Love love love the vibe. The menu is diverse and the drink was sooooo good. The salsa though... oommggg the green was loaded with flavor and the red was super spicy and good. The tacos were all different. I got the platter with one of each. Definitely coming back. My server/bartender was Sonia, not only was she super sweet and friendly but very tentative to anything I requested and made my drinks to perfection. read more

See all

This can be a hit or miss spot, Sunday's are usually full of ambiance and chill vibes; however, the establishment can sometimes be overrun with hooligans that break out fights and leave the place trashed. It's safe to say you may need a helmet at times because chairs will be thrown :D read more

Host let us inside and told us to pick any table. Found one outside but then saw one inside that was getting cleaned up by a bald white dude. Asked the guy if we could sit here and he said ask the host. I told him the host let us in and said find a table. He said to go back and ask about that specific table. Decided to go back to our original table and as soon as we did another party sat at the table we wanted after coming from the bar. Bald dude went to go talk to friends about 10 minutes ago and is still there as of me posting this. Sucks cuz I was really looking forward to this bar and have been hyping it up for a couple weeks. Definitely won't be back. read more

Great food and service. I found my new Happy Hour spot. :) Covid policy was being followed. read more

El Chingon - A bad ass drink!!!! :) - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Churros is great that's the only reason for two stars but customer service is HORRIBLE. Bartender is not knowledgeable on menu items. Manger Shaun is rude and very nonchalant/passive aggressive with addressing concerns and providing customer service. read more

if i could give this place a negative star i would. my friends and i came here for my friends birthday and waited an hour to get drinks. the bartender Bri, i assume as it was on the receipt, was the rudest bartender i've come across. she rolled her eyes and huffed at us when we were trying to order our drinks. as a fellow industry worker myself i was appalled. i thought this would be a cool place but unfortunately we will not be coming back. read more

We came to El Chingon for an early family dinner graduation weekend. Food was outstanding. Love the atmosphere as well. I think Papa especially loved the wait staff! read more

El Chingon - Great spot! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

They charged our credit cards without authorization. $10 charges showed up on our credit cards weeks after we visited the place. Be aware.

If I could rate it a zero I would. My friends and I decided to go here for my friends 30th birthday and we bought a bottle service that cost $250 for the cheapest tequila bottle they had when they came out with the bottle I asked that they play a Mexican song as it promotes itself as a MECXICAB BAR. I went up to the DJ and he said I don't fuck with Mexican music sorry and walked away. Another guy by the DJ bar was helping me and told me that he only had one Ramon Ayala song which I was like ok just put that one. When the bottle came out they decided to not play what i requested. Of course I was very upset and went to talk to the manager and he then he said he had no control over it as the owner is the one who hires them and he could do nothing about it. I would not be coming back to this bar. How the fuck can you promote yourself as a Hispanic bar and have your DJ say he doesn't fuck with Mexican music. Well now Mexicans should NOT FUCK WITH EL CHINGON AS IT AGAINST MEXICAN CUSTOMERS OR AT LEAST THEIR DJ IS EVEN THOUGH THEIR WHOLE BRAND IS MEXICAN! So disgraceful. By the way did I mention we were the only customers in there read more

This was our second time trying this new spot in the West 7th area. Two stars for atmosphere, decor, and I love the staff t-shirts! Service: on both occasions service was slow.. not super attentive or friendly either. Margaritas: we all ordered the frozen mango margaritas, bad ass style. $19 each and my Mother was completely sober after finishing it, and she's a lightweight. Guacamole: needed seasoning.. pretty presentation, but bland. Queso: good but not overwhelmingly so. Tacos: al pastor and carnitas tacos were so greasy that they were almost inedible. My boyfriend had the fish taco, and he said that was good. Probably won't go back.. sad because we thought this place had potential. We loved the completely different concept from other West 7th locations, but sadly this place did not live up to expectations! read more

I spent 5 hours here for some white boy manager to act like I threw my tacos on the floor on purpose and not let me back in to get more when I was GOING to BUY more no complaints. Said he didn't need the drama. I was going to spend good money to buy more but he wanted to be an ass hole. I will never go back again. I've never felt more disrespected. read more

My husband and I went for lunch and the food was fabulous as was the service. The atmosphere is fun too. We had a lot of great help from AJ. He was great! I highly recommend this place. read more

It really be you own people. I recently moved back to Texas and my cousins and I haven't hangout since we were teenagers. So first time out with my cousins as adults. So we are bar hopping and not only did this location charge us to get in (cash only), seats were already limited and they started picking up the tables literally telling people to get up from their seats because they simply were picking up tables and chairs. Throughout the 2 hours we were there multiple family members were purchasing and tipping, and some of course more than others. And one of those cousins who bought multiple rounds didn't tip this one time and the waitress literally asked her if she had a problem and pointed to the receipt! And my cousins said "no, do you have a problem with me not tipping you" and then she started calling for security lmao I laugh now but damn yall, if you need to do all that to pull funds to keep your business afloat maybe you're in the wrong business. Im in my 30s, was super excited for date night with my husband away from the kids and yall it did not feel good to get kicked out being this old lmao I honestly have never been kicked out of anywhere or experienced anything in my life! 0/10 read more

If I could rate 0 stars I would. This place is more then horrible. The music is wack. The securities DONT do there job right. The business is just about money. Trying to scam people when they are drunk. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE. Do NOT go to this place. read more

So much fun here over the weekend. The music was fun and lively. Tacos we had were delicious and the Bad ass carne asada fries were amazing. Cool decor and the staff was engaging and fun. Cocktails were on point, the Madero is a watermelon margarita with Azuñia organic tequila, very refreshing and tasty. read more

Great service and atmosphere! We enjoyed our service. Very kind staff! Gigi is a great host! Will definitely be coming back

It's an okay place to go but i decided to throw my party there and i reserved the table next to the dj and everytime we go we buy alot of bottles waist atleast 2k plus and what i didnt like that I got a bit tipsy and they seen that they through me out instead of letting my friends know and i was outside the curve drunk i walked to my truck and could barely see idk how i got there but made it to my truck and the fact that i waisted money and for them to throw me out like i was trash was bs never going here again!! read more

If I can leave zero stars I would. DO NOT and I mean DO NOT get a section at this place. A few hours into the night they'll come to your section and tell you "you've been bought out you need to leave". What the point of reserving and buying a section for the night then? Last night me and my buddies got a section there and no lie bought about 6-7 bottles all night and they came over talking about you've been bought out since you haven't bought bottles, spoke to the manager and he let me stay but it's always the same thing with this place every time I visit, they'll gang up your section full of securities and try to kick you out. So I repeat, PLEASE DO NOT get a section at this place read more

Came on a Friday afternoon, seemed like a great atmosphere. It took about 5 mins of sitting before someone came to our table, about 10 more minutes until we finally got our drinks. $6 small Michelob Ultra, $8 Tito's and vodka that tasted terrible. We ordered queso and decided to try it before ordering anything else, glad we did, it wasn't terrible but we had to pour both our hot sauces into it to give it some flavor. Another party of about 7 walked in, it's fairly empty, they waited for about 5 mins and walked back out, good call. I think this is more of a night spot. Do not recommend for the day time. read more

Ok food. Terrible service... Took 15min to get waters when we sat down. Had to ask for a waitress after many walking by during that time. Waitress took our order then came back and asked if we ordered food. Never got the drinks we ordered either. When we got our food, both orders were wrong. Had to send back, finally got it almost right but we gave up at that point. Had to ask for more water multiple times. Took a good 20 min to get our check and finally pay. It could be a great spot but just another bar among the many in the area. read more

I visited this establishment on a friday during happy hour and it wasn't too busy. Allyson was my bartender and she recommended food and drinks to try and i loved it all . Will be coming back ! read more

If I could give this place 0 starts, I would. First of, they kicked my party out because my friends were flipping off each other. The waitress, thinking she's the center of the world, thought it was about her, when it wasn't it. They tried to charge us for the food and drinks AFTER they kicked out part of my party. I refused to pay for this and the bouncer kept threatening me to call the cops on me. I told they could and talked backed to them. The manager apologized for their rude behavior but genuinely would not go here due to their staff's rude behavior. read more
