    I’ve lived years in Mexico and I can say that this café is the only place in Finland that serves REAL Mexican food, the kind that your Mexican grandmother or mother in law makes. I highly recommend it. The owners are super sweet. My Mexican daughter was in heaven eating here. We live in Helsinki but will start travelling to Turku only to eat these sopes and tamales. Delicious.

    What an unexpected and lovely find. Independent Mexican Cafe run by a lovely couple. Loved the special hot chocolate and freshly baked sweet bread 😋

    The buñuelos are handmade there and were so crispy and tasty. I can recommend. I tried the tamales too, good they had vegetarian options but one was a little bit dry. Hopefully, next time we can try more things like the chilaquiles and the tortilla soup.

    Todella ihana paikka, sydämellistä palvelua ja maistuvia kiinnostavia makuja joita ei muualta Turusta saa! Vegaanisuus otetaan todella hyvin huomioon ja vaihtoehtoja on monta. Yläkerrassa on hyvin lisää asiakaspaikkoja, paikalle mahtuu isommallakin porukalla. Lounas oli maukas ja mieluisa - nyt täytyy päästä kokeilemaan iltamenua ja kahvilapuolta! Tulemme siis ehdottomasti pian uudestaan!

    I have been living in Finland for years and this is the only place that has the authentic Mexican flavor, it tastes like 'casa'. The owners are really nice people that take the time to explain you the whole process that takes every dish together with the tradition and story of the dish, I totally recommend it.

    The pastries were super nice, and don't even get me started about the chocolate oaxaca (it was delicious). They're very open about the cultural origins of their meals. And it's authentic stuff, too. Great coffee and meals basically. The prices are fair too. Cozy place and the owner is the friendliest owner I've met in the city. A genuine guy. It's worth checking the place out. I know I will definitely be going here again. I suggest checking this place out. You will not regret it. Nor will you feel like you just emptied your pockets after you've left, it's a very satisfying experience, in my opinion.

    Great Mexican food in the heart of Turku. Fantasic service by the owners who clearly love what they do and it shows in the food and service. Also great specialty coffee beans for sale that you won't find elsewhere in Finland.

    Fantastic service, the owners are really accommodating and friendly. The cocoa we had was amazing! I’ve been around the world and I can say that that was one of the best cocoa I ever tasted. Great concha and cookies 🍪 🥯 Great Sunday brunch, exactly what I needed! Will definitely recommend and will be back for sure! They provide also authentic Mexican food for lunch that looked amazing.

    The perfect way to travel to Mexico being in the middle of Turku 🇲🇽. You have to enter through a building and follow the instructions to get to this amazing Mexican restaurant. The food tastes authentic and there are vegan options with lots of flavour. The atmosphere and the attention is very cozy. There is a lunch offer that includes the main dish (veg option too), the drink and dessert of the day and also coffee; all that for €12,5. Definitely coming back! Te hacen sentir como en casa 🍃🏡

    I'd highly recommend this nice family-owned cafe. Tamales taste very authentic just as it should be. And also I think this place should be pointed on every coffee geek's map cause they sell very interesting species from Oaxaca, Guerrera and Veracruz. The Oaxaca one is available for order in the cafe. Caution! Coffee is hot

  • 5/5 Janne S. 9 months ago on Google
    Authentic Mexican home cooking and self roasted specialty coffee from Mexican beans. Highly recommended!

    Café Chingon, meksikolainen ravintola, on avattu 2.12 Kauppahallissa! Café Chingon, a mexican restaurant, opened 2.12. in the Market hall! Samassa tilassa kuin mBakery, yhteisen ruokailutilan vieressä. Hyvää ruokaa ja kahvia, lounas päiväsaikaan. Kuvassa maissikeittoa, Pozale. Sharing place with mBakery alongside the common eating space. Delicious food and coffee, lunch in daytime. In the photo corn soup, Pozale.

    Very authentic! The owners are so nice and friendly and good at explaining the food. Nice decor. They have special menus sometimes which should be reserved ahead of time, a bit pricey but worth it!

  • 5/5 S3lvah 1 year ago on Google
    The owners were friendly, accommodating and informative about the Mexican delicacies on offer. The tortilla soup and hot chocolate were real treats. Definitely worth going to instead of the usual café chains if you're nearby!

    This is my favorite place to eat at. It is not easy to find authentic Mexican food in Finland, however this cafe does it fantastically. They even have a stamp card that after so many visits gets you a free Mexican specialty. I love the calm atmosphere, music, and lunch specials. The owners are very friendly and hospitable. I highly recommend this cafe.

    A Hidden Gem of Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Turku! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Chingon in Turku is an absolute treasure for anyone seeking an authentic Mexican dining experience. I am a frequent visitor, and each visit reaffirms my love for this place. The service at Chingon is consistently friendly and welcoming. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home, and they always accommodate my request for spicier dishes, which I greatly appreciate. What truly sets Chingon apart is the authenticity of their food. You can taste the difference with every bite; it's like a culinary journey to Mexico. They use fresh ingredients that elevate the flavors, and I've been told that many of these ingredients are imported directly from Mexico by the owners, which adds to the genuine experience. The ambiance is relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends or a cozy date night. Chingon is a gem in Turku, as it's the only place I know of that serves truly authentic Mexican food. And let's not forget the lush coffee they offer; it's a delightful way to end a meal. I can't recommend Chingon enough. If you're in Turku and craving authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place to go. It's a culinary journey that never disappoints!

    I had so high expectations after reading all the good reviews about their food. I went for lunch and ordered chicken stew tacos. Meal was overall quite tasteless (the chicken stew, rice, dessert cake was dry).. Maybe today is not their best, maybe I should’ve ordered something else.. I don’t know. :(
