While Mexican food can be found in just about every neighborhood in Denver, finding the best Mexican is not always so easy! Luckily, we found El Chingon Restaurant and Bar! El Chingon had been a staple in the Berkeley neighborhood and recently relocated to the Highlands for a more spacious location. Their trendy, new location maintained that beautiful, homey feel patrons have known for years. You always feel more like family than like a customer at El Chingon! The owner of El Chingon, Lorenzo Nunez, Jr., works hard to preserve the diverse history of the North Denver neighborhood which has been home to his family for generations. The food is seeped in soul and the flavor is unmistakable!
The old fashioned recipes mix with fresh, local ingredients and create a mouth watering menu. Whether it’s a favorite Mexican dish you crave like carnitas, Abuleita’s enchiladas, or soft chili rellenos, or a more upscale choice like pan seared salmon or sea scallop ceviche tostada, El Chingon has every taste bud covered! Whatever you decide to order, it will pair perfectly with one of El Chingon’s many tequilas. They have an amazing portfolio of fine agave spirits in every expression you can imagine! Whether it is for Taco Tuesday, a drink with friends, a dinner you won’t soon forget, or even for a quick breakfast burrito, El Chingon has what you crave!
