El Chingon

The carnitas was a little more like chile verde due to the tomatillo salsa on it, but it was phenomenal none the less. Carnitas plate was just meat /sauce and a tortilla, but it was a good amount of food. 1000% better experience than Elway's ripoff burger! Update: recently ate here again and the tomatillo salsa was served on the side, so more like actual carnitas.

The cheese quesadilla was absolutely pathetic! I know it’s airport food but the child’s size quesadilla I received after paying $14 was so disappointing. The quesadilla tasted technically fine, I mean it’s pretty difficult to mess up melting cheese inside of a tortilla, it was just laughably small. The staff were very nice though so that saved the place from getting one star.

I walked all the way there from the end of C to get dinner before my flight. I buy a $6 tea at mizu and head over to Chingon for dinner. The gal was going to charge me for ice even though I already bought a drink! She said “you didn’t get that here” No, but yall are the same company, same owners with the same managers. So I walk back over to mizu to get ice… guess what? A big fly in my drink. The saga continues as NO ONE on either side wanted to fix the issue and just wanted to blame each other . At one point treat me like I did something wrong. Do yall think I just carry bugs around in my pocket or something?? I have been in the food industry for 14 years. I’m not picky, I’m not challenging and I don’t care where the bug came from, just fix your mistakes. Could’ve been a “I’m so sorry let me get you a new cup of ice and drink” But no. Anytime I bring friends I make them go to try your food. Now I will never go back to either spot. Unbelievably disappointing experience.

My wife and I came here on December 26 which is a major travel day. They’re scheduled to open at 6am, we arrived to the restaurant at 6:25 and staff was barely arriving. I figured I’d give them a few min to set up. I returned at 6:30 and asked them if they were open, the were literally just sitting around and said they didn’t have any food ready and told me to come back at 7:00 or 7:30. Please train your staff to be on time and have food ready when you’re supposed to open. Or change the hours if your staff can’t be responsible enough to get to work on time like the rest of the world
