Reviews for El Chingon Tex-Mex Restaurante & Bar in Union, NJ

Food is very reasonably priced and portions are large. Fajitas are large enough for 2. Chicken enchiladas were good would have... liked more sauce on top. Table enjoyed their margaritas and I enjoyed the Mexican Coke. Service was a little slow or would havegiven 5 stars. Read more

Really good food, large portion sizes, good drinks! I’ve been here a few times in the summer they definitely need better... cooling!! But the food is worth it, we were literally eating with one hand and using the menu to fan with the next hand all 4times that we’ve been here this summer 2022. The drinks are not always the same which is why I didn’t give five stars…. Iusually order the same drink but every time I get it, it’s different…sometimes wayyyy too sweet with little to “noalcohol”, sometimes very strong, or just right. A little consistency on the preparation of mixed drinks/ margaritas woulddefinitely give that extra wow to this establishment! ( Sitting at a table ) If you go sit at the bar Marilyn the bestbartender, she is amazing! Her drinks are always good and she has really excellent customer service!! Read more

Decided to give this place a try because I was in the area and WOW! I'm SO glad I did. The food was outstanding. The service was... amazing. I was worried about the pork chop being to spicy for me since I have a low spice tolerance but ordered it anyway. Theamazing waiter brought out a small bit of the sauce they use for the pork chop just to make sure I could handle it. Fivestars...highly recommend!! Read more

Beautiful place, good food and good service. Their cocktails menu has no prices. I ordered something that had their restaurant... name in it. Turned out to be $40. Better ask before ordering. Read more

My boyfriend and I went out to eat and when we arrived we parked on the street nearby. When we walked in we walked into a packed... house. They had karaoke and a lot of birthdays. We decided to sit at the bar and Marilyn was our bartender and she was great. Westarted with our drinks and I got the red sangria and it was tasty. For my meal I got the vegetable fajitas and my boyfriend gotthe salmon. Both meals were very good. I sang a few tunes off key while I was there but it was a good time. I enjoyed my time atthe restaurant and would return. Read more

It's a picture worthy, but the food wasn't so great :/ The rice and beans had no flavor. The only good thing in the picture was... the chicken burrito. The Jamaica drink wasn't it; it just tasted like sugared water. The only good thing was the cuteheart-shaped straw. The service wasn't bad, nor was it good - our server disappeared, and we had to ask others for things wewanted. Towards the end , we had waited 20 minutes just to get the check. Read more

Great food and large enough menu for most people to find something to enjoy. I don't think most people would consider this... "authentic Mexican food" but it tastes good. The food is consistent and the portions do compliment the price, although it'sworth mentioning that some items are pricey. Full bar for those who enjoy that or thing but once again....pricey and not worthit in my opinion. This place is always packed for dinner time and any sort of safety measures for the pandemic is mostlynon-existent. Seems that most people are over it but it's worth mentioning. This place has the whole "trendy" feel to it whichis why it's always packed. No real parking lot so you'll have to park down the street or around the corner. Read more
