    This place is amazing! Small but cute! Lots of choices to choose from with delicious drinks. I ordered so much when I first went there and it was not disappointing me. This place slowly becomes my go to taco place from now. All the tacos are great because we tried them all lol. I like shrimp the most.

    We had the pleasure of dining at El Chucho’s last night. The restaurant was half full when we arrived at about 6:00 pm and had a buzz about it. My wife had the carne asada tacos and I had the Lengua tacos. We didn’t have margaritas but had their winter soda because the don’t have soft drinks or ice tea. The soda was delicious as was their food. Our server, sadly can’t remember his name was very casual and efficiently friendly. Excellent service. The one knock and it is a blight on all restaurants is the service charge, which is not a gratuity. It benefits the owners and quite honestly frustrates me as a long time hospitality executive. Granted this was one of the lowest surcharges I’ve seen at 5%. I am not familiar with tax law, but it has to benefit the owners because the least offensive was would be to increase prices (which of course have steadily gone up), which at least would be more honest that stating a fee on top of the price increases is insulting. I want these establishment to thrive, but not this way. Thank you for an incredible dining experience, but ask that you do this in a more direct way, you will only impact your wait staff, as some might take away from the gratuity they deserve. Unfortunately, until this practice is stopped, we won’t be back.

    We popped in for a late lunch and cocktails and I loved everything. Friendly, attentive staff, comfortable bar stools (with bag hooks underneath!) and most importantly delicious food and drinks. Everyone loved it. The tequila and mezcal choices seemed endless.

    Great tacos and a nice vibe! There’s indoor and outdoor seating. Good queso fundido and chupacabra burrito!

    Love this spot! One of the best in the area. I live in the neighborhood so come here often. A great happy hour spot -- the deals typically go until 6pm (food includes tacos, corn elote, chips and salsa/guac, etc. and drinks including discounted margaritas, canned beverages, etc.). The staff is always friendly, professional, and are great all around. The atmosphere and vibes are great; very cozy setting that has always been warm on chilly days, with nice lighting. There is typically either some form of outdoor seating open. There is the second floor rooftop bar (protected/covered for weather but still gets some nice light and views... I always sit up there and its my favorite spot). There are also some tables/chairs arranged outside, depending on the day/time, which my roommates and I like to take the dog to!

    This is such a fantastic spot for a happy hour, and it has great vibes in general. I personally don't like the food very much, but the drinks are amazing and it is a great hangout spot!

    Service was great. I love the overall vibe of the restaurant. The elote and chips and guacamole are really good. My favorite tacos were the pescado tacos (fried salmon). The flavors were perfect. The asada and pollo tacos needed more flavor. I added guacamole and salsa to them and they were better. The drinks are well made and the menu was great. I’d definitely return to try some other menu items! Video Review - IG: eatswithchar TikTok: charlenequeen
