George Lopez's Chingon Kitchen - Flight Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

Mediocre food. It's got a whole cafeteria vibe which I do not like. What a bummer. But the music is good and the seating was ok too

WOW! Excellent Service & Teamwork from the morning Supervisor Teaka who assisted her team getting order's from the guests including us. There Chef G running the kitchen with ease. And Jose staff/ man of the hour making Fresh Flour Tortillas, like homemade. My son, friend & I ordered there custom create your own breakfast Burritos with Beef or Pork. Was so Delicious & YUMMMMY! There fresh Salsa, LOVED there Green sauce & there Pico de gallo taste just freshly made. The Churros was so fresh, prepared nice warm sooo moists inside with the crispiness of the outside with a dipping sauce of caramel or chocolate. I was already satisfied with the Churros by itself. But to include those two dipping sauce. My son & friend loved the choice of caramel or chocolate. The homemade different Fleshly Salsa selection & Flour Tortillas made the my day. Loved the Nice Open Concept. Highly recommend & THANX to ALL made this Morning Breakfast Experience GREAT!) read more

Came to have dinner here while visit Yaamava. I had high hopes for this place, but it disappointed. The food was just okay; nothing memorable. If anything, it felt like overpriced Chipotle. I ordered the trio of tacos and the shredded cheese was not melted so it was a very messy meal. My mom ordered the burrito and liked the portion, but again, the flavor was just not there. There is no real service here, either. You place your order on the kiosk located right outside or by scanning the QR code on your dining table. You receive a notification once it's ready to get picked up at the Pick Up window. What we did enjoy were the churros - crispy and delicious, as well as the live music/entertainment. Other than that, it's not a place I would come back to. I think next time I'll try their steak house restaurant instead! read more

Like some time saving places do, this has a kiosk driven ordering system. It took a short time to navigate the system. After my friend decided what she wanted, the system closed out while she was getting her card out of her purse and had to start over again. When I stepped up, I had the benefit of her experience and it went more quickly. We did notice some frustration from other guests navigating the system. There were 6 stations, but apparently one wasn't working. There is seating in the dining room, but we headed to the warmer feeling vibe of the bar. We ordered drinks from the friendly bartender and found a high top to sit at. It felt nice to engage with someone after the kiosk experience. Our drinks were tasty and we ordered a couple while we waited for our food. My chicken tacos came out fine. I was unsure because I deleted some items while adding others, but they were prepared as selected. There was an up charge for veggies added. My friend's tostada salad did not come out as described on the kiosk menu, however. When she took it back up, the counter person told her they were out of some items for her order. My friend asked why they didn't tell her so she could've ordered something else she'd want and not have paid more for a lesser item. The person said she'd give her a free guacamole instead though it was an up charge. She said there was salsa. It felt a little shady - like, we're giving you basic hoping you won't notice, but then making it a favor to offer you something everyone pays extra for. Maybe because everything is packaged to go, this lack of communication and substitution might've worked for folks who take away. We'll likely not come back here. There are other places to dine or grab a quick bite and plenty of bars when we're looking for a drink. 3 stars because drinks were good, bartender was friendly, and my tacos were as ordered. read more

Cold was cold the pack it up with beans no flavor unless you put salsa. Waited 28 minutes not worth it in general

The casino is beautifully maintained in the design, and amenities. Upon entering, I loved the marble floors, decor and art throughout all areas. There are several places to have a meal. We chose Tacos at George Lopez' Chignon restaurant. We sat on the right-side bar area with food and table service. Over on the left side is the main dining room. The food was tasty, it's a no-frills menu: Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, Tostadas, Taquitos, etc. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall, this location is a resort with amenities for hotel guests. I was here to attend a concert in their theater so I did not use the pool, spa, gym, etc. Plan a weekend getaway, staycation, or come for the entertainment or casino gaming. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!! read more

George Lopez's Chingon Kitchen - Entrance - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

I came here and had a chicken burrito bowl. It was really good and full of flavor. The burrito bowl contained rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, and chicken. It was a bit salty but good. The guacamole was good and it had the right amount kr cheese. It can be really busy in the restaurant and the lines can be long but they move. The ambiance was noisy and loud but it's a typical restaurant inside the casino. read more

You used to be able to order at the counter and watch your food get prepared. It's just kiosks only now. When I have a voucher I usually come here and it's usually pretty good. Not sure what has happened but the wait is long for an order of taquitos- 20 minutes. There's really nothing to it. And, when I got it it was barely warm. How long was it sitting out that it's not even acceptably warm? There's no customer service now except for the person helping at the kiosk. The restaurant is kept clean. Thinking of taking my voucher elsewhere within the casino. Maybe not get the Taquitos next time and keep it to a burrito or tacos? It's too bad. I used to really like this place. read more

This place is not by any means authentic mexican food. Do yourself a favor and get the burrito. For the price of a taco, you are better off getting something hearty and filling. Service is self-serve kiosk which makes it easy and convenient. Depending on the day and time, wait can be a little longer but at least there aren't long lines anymore. So plan accordingly. Sit on a machine and gamble as you wait. We came on a Friday night and they had already ran out of al pastor. Their menu has changed and tortas are now only for their breakfast menu. Plenty of seating and great music from the bar next door. read more

George Lopez' Chingono restaurant is located inside Yamava Casino and Resort. It has a "Live Latino Themed Band" actively playing and singing your favorite music and an open bar ready to squirt your tempting drinks and elixirs. Many folks dances and grinds on the floor or while waiting for their food next door. So, we reviewed the menu and its Mexican food with a little rush on the side. We ordered the Burrito with steak and all the trimmings. Great burrito EXCEPT that it's too salty for us, the comments around the table were similar. We tried to add salsa and chile but obviously doesn't seem to mask the saltiness. Oh well, the salad is not too bad for a night out and fountain drinks is unlimited. So, if you like the "party atmosphere and dancing to a live band" I'd say, this place is your niche, be forewarned there is nothing you can do with the food, their orders are nonstop, really hundreds of orders and starving casino diehards. Perhaps, a little Margarita or Bloody Mary or a beer can fox the saltiness but we didn't plan to drink that night. But if you are straining for Mexican food and don't mind waiting in line for about 30-45 minutes before watching a concert, go for it. Am sure George Lopez will be ecstatic to see you at his restaurant? Go party and enjoy the Yamava experience, too. read more

I enjoyed their food overall but last time when I went there to pick my kiosk order after I got texted that Its ready to pickup, the young male employee said to me that someone else picked my order. I have my paper receipt and online receipt and pickup receipt too. I told him that he probably gave out my order to someone else but he kept saying other guy picked up. What other guys? I just want my food that I paid for!!! Finally he said he will re prepare for me. I spent several hundreds dollars at casino and this young men treated me like I' m cheating on $11.00 food. He really ruined my day at the casino and He never apologized. The restaurant should train the employees how to apologize the customer if they made mistakes. read more

So it seems like George REALLY Sold out on this one. I kept wondering if he approved the food there. I had the Nachos, which didn't taste bad but cheese sauce instead of melted grated cheese? The chips got soggy near the bottom of the bowl? How about chips on a plate with melted cheese on top? Does George really prefer cheese sauce in a bowl to melted cheese on crispy chips on a plate with the other ingredients on top? Is that the way you really like it George? read more

Saw they had churros so I got the churros but they were cold and soggy like they had been left out. read more

Writing this review because I am currently craving the baked potato. The baked potato is the BEST thing to get here. The lines can be very long, the wait can be long, but when the line isn't so bad and it's not too loud inside / next door, the baked potato is the best thing to get. Trust me. You can customize what you'd like on your potato from the proteins to the toppings. Highly recommend getting it with guacamole. Will always order this from here. read more

I visited this restaurant after playing the slot machines in the adjacent casino. I have been here on numerous but this was definitely my last visit. The new system of placing your orders via the kiosks located outside of the restaurant are TERRIBLE!!!!!!! ALL but one younger man was having a nightmare trying to place a food order. Many senior citizens were truly having difficulty that I attempted to assist them while trying to figure things out myself. If a guests had their meal comped (a perk of joint the free rewards program), there are three different choices from which to choose in order to complete your transaction. Which is the correct choice ?? What if a couple wishes to use two different rewards cards to have their meals completely comped. Does the Ms home accept two cards?? And do many other confusing issues. What is a quick meal/menu instead of a regular menu? The lines to use one of the four kiosks were long, frustrating and in my case, an older gentleman in front of me was having issues with his ATM card, and thus, my line was held up for felt like an eternity When I offered to help this man to try to move the line, his response was, "leave me alone and back off!" A potential physical fight over trying to order a burrito or whatever this dude was trying to order. No employees to try to help made matters worse The food itself was TERRIBLE!!!!!! My chicken bowl consisted of bone-in chicken which was as dry as cardboard (I am NOT exaggerating), beans that appeared more like oatmeal and rice which was very salty. Two older ladies in the adjacent booth said EXACTLY the same thing I said out loud. We all tried to enjoy our food but ended up tossing out 3/4 of our meals One last gripe. If you pay cash, you can walk straight up to the counter and bypass the kiosks while rest of us using cards try to figure things out. When your food order is ready for pick up, you will receive notification on your cell phone which forces you to download the Yaamava app. When you receive notification, you stand in the only line in what you think is the pick up counter only to be told my an employee, "this is the line for cash customers only. Stand on the other side of the rope". What rope?? There is no signage whatsoever advising the difference btwn, "cash only or pick up only" This entire experience was very bad. Management took what used to be a great, efficient and positive dining experience and DESTROYED the entire process. Taco Bell two miles down the road would have been a much better choice read more

food was pretty awful, their tacos de papa were hard as a rock. eat somewhere else at the casino.

I bought a Pozole and no tostadas they gave me tortillas but in the machine that you order your food had the option of tostadas the food is delicious but No tostadas ,the girls in from of the counter don't know cheese net about what they are doing. I also have a big complaint / concern I'm a regular the bar area where the music is most of the people dancing have alcohol beverages in hand people do not fit on the dance floor that can cause a fight and people can get hit with a beer bottle there's always people dropping the drinks and people end up slipping that's a big NO NO please take this manner serious. Improvement have tostadas for the pozole , No drinks on the dancing floor. read more

We love the food there but 2 times I been there I ask for ketchup and tapatio for my Shrimp cocktail and they don't have that they also don't give salted crackers for the cocktail And I ask for extra chips and they want to charge $7 So over price I think ‍ Someone tell ...George Lopez his restaurant is not that chingon sorry buddy you need to add this to your restaurant rapido ! read more

Went for a concert and stopped in the hold me up. Hesitant about another celebrity adding their name to a restaurant but it was worth. A little pricy for a burrito but it was worth it. Fresh flour tortillas and soft carne asada, it was a good quality burrito. It was a lively feel and they do take about 15 minutes to make. Friendly service overall, read more

1 1/2 minute read: We were here last week. Overall, it was a good experience. Great food. Decent selection. On my last review, I did happen to mention a couple of things that were taken seriously by their Management and everything turned out fine. When I do mention anything construed as negative, it's for a purpose and not just some unhappy issue. I've worked in food service all my life. I have an AA Degree in FOODSERVICE MANAGEMENT* and over 30 yrs experience. I don't waste my, or anyone else's time. Today I went for the same item I did last week: BIRRIA BOWL & Jocelyn had a CARNE ASADA BURRITO that I build for her. It was HUGE (see foto). All in all, GEORGE LOPEZ CHINGON KITCHEN is doing very good. * I'd like to thank the CHINGON management for their prompt & professional reply , on my last review. I appreciate gr8 Customer Service. read more

Horrible HORRIBLE tacos de papa ! Freaking microwaved ! Are you kidding me ? That's what I get for coming in with high expectations on this item from the menu . Atleast at jack in the box it's expected to be soggy and mediocre but here at Chingon wow it's a total let down .! read more

Went to this place because of the $50 Yaamava' points for food. Tried the asada tacos, taco de papa, and asada burrito. Not good at all and terrible to eat. The food tasted like it was prepared ahead of time rather than cook to order. The taco de papa was the worst plate - tasted like mushy, sand paper. The burrito was unpleasantly sweet because of the salsa inside of it. Honestly, the asada taco was the only saving grace even though they were bland. This is place is just a cash cow - no passion whats-so-ever. You're better off going to 909 or Serrano Cafe - their food is fantastic. read more

Muy rica la comida y las porciones son grandes, me encanta pedir los burritos de asada y carnitas con guacamole y chips. Me encanta el ambiente que ponen música latina en vivo hasta la medianoche, las bebidas también están deliciosas. read more

Ordered takeout on a weeknight and the burrito was surprisingly even delicious the next day! The meat ratio was pretty crazy as there was so much protein - could have made it into 2 meals easily. Although I didn't stay to enjoy the vibes, it was pretty lit with a live DJ and dancing! read more

Let me start by saying that this place is complete trash. Menu - I wanted to order Tamales, but I was told at the "cash only" kiosk that they are only for breakfast. Ok, well there's a "breakfast" section on the menu, why weren't the tamales listed there? Now I didn't have a back-up plan of what to order, the menu is directly above you and hard to see in line, so here I am trying to ask the girl at the counter for details about certain food items that I could barely see on the menu. The menu really has no details at all. Cash only kiosline - The line took forever to order (there were only 2 people in front of me and I waited for like 15 mins) and there was no sign indicating that this was cash only, luckily that's how I was paying so it wasn't an issue for me. There was a lady behind the counter that told a couple of people behind me that this was the cash only line, but never told me. If I had been paying by card I would have been out of luck. Food - The food is ridiculously overpriced! I spent $49 on 4 carne asada tacos with ok meat, a pinch of Monterey shredded cheese, store-bought quality corn tortillas, and barely filled small cups of rice and nasty refried beens. I also ordered carne asada nachos and 1 drink (this "meal" was for 2 people but with drinks at $4 a pop...we decided to share one. Please tell me why the nachos barely came with any chips and barely any cheese but plenty of...shredded lettuce?? It didn't say on the menu that this was a carne asada nacho SALAD. Plus since you have to order everything and give your phone number as a way for the restaurant to contact you when your order is ready...everything is given to you in a bag and to-go containers. Our nachos were not plentiful and tasted like crap. Tacos tasted like crap. I would have been happier going to Del Taco before going to the casino. Customer Service - there is none! No one really greets you if you're in the cash only line. No one smiles. And they don't tell you how the ordering system works. They could have told me "we will text you when your order is ready and make sure to show your receipt." If you are paying by card...no one will be assisting you because you will have to order on a touch screen kiosk outside of the restaurant. Conclusion - if you like crappy Mexican food and paying a premium price with no customer service, feel free to come here. I will never come here again. George Lopez should be ashamed of himself for putting his name on this horrible establishment. read more

I went to this restaurant for first time. I heard nothing but the best about their food and service. However, when I went, I had the worst experience. I purchased my food with a young lady on the bar after 30 minutes of waiting we went and asked for our food And they told us they were backed up after an hour and 10 minutes we went again and asked for a refund which they denied and another female in a suit started making my food at this time I had already finished my drink, and the only thing I had was the handmade tortillas that they make. I do not recommend this place except if you want to come and purchase a tortilla that's the only thing that they give to you right away, I will never come back and spend my money on this place. read more

The service is great. But that's it!! The Food - Not good!! Sorry but I cannot recommend this place read more

The once great quality in food and friendly customer service just isn't there . From ordering on kiosk (card only), long lines of people confused or unimpressed prices, to soggy burritos, wrapped loosely or Paying extra for premium ingredients and portions of meat hardly added, this Sadly doesn't put Chingon kitchen as the first pick to eat at Yamava. I frequent this location several times a month and unfortunately service has not been improving. Although there have been clear attempts to keep up with the demand and make it more efficient, there is more work to be done with quality assurance. The ambience is typically uplifting on weekends. The restaurant is casual and the bar area offers live music and dance opportunities. This is not budget eatery . The food does have good flavor but the care in preparation is sloppy which makes the food unenjoyable (messy) . I hope to be back in the future with hopes of improvements in the food presentation.! read more

It's not a place I would recommend. I was shocked to see that it's like a Panera. You are still at the table, scanning the QR code, and waiting. It doesn't feel like an Authentic Mexican Restaurant. There were four of us, and the food took way too long to be ordered and picked up. They waste more to-go bags and items. If you're sitting to eat, your food is given in a plastic bag to go. Very disappointing. read more

Parking, location, wait- 2 Food, atmosphere, staff-5+ Love the buildout of this fast casual restaurant- Brick, tin roof, murals, open kitchen, variety of seating (booths, high top, traditional), music. Love the food. generous portions, fresh ingredients, built to order. The burritos are huge (5 lbs?) and bowls are delicious, and served with homemade tortillas. The menudo is yummy and clear your sinuses spicy. The downsides are the parking, located in the back of the casino(I get it- they want you to gamble) and the wait (minimum 30+ minutes prior to ordering). All the food is packaged to go but i always have leftovers. I will definitely be back when in the area. read more

First time here and first time using kiosk for the express order. This is more like grab n go. The food was ok, the size of the burrito was filling. The ambiance was modern. I like that their flour tortillas were hand made and you can see them making it. They also have a cool looking fountain drink with cream sodas. They provide tables and chairs for you to sit in the area. read more
