I love everything about this place. I love the prices I love the food I love the ambience And I love the service . They are super efficient and totally cool and chill. They run a really tight clean business, I can tell. They don't demand tip as part of the transaction (I always love those places so I tip even more in the tip jar). This place is superb read more

When my husband and I are craving tacos we will drive all the way to Salt Lake City to get a Chunga's taco. They are amazing. I love the flavor of the steak and their salsas. They give complimentary chips and salsa with an order and if you combine their two salsas together it is incredible! Definitely worth the trip down. read more

Tacos al pastor and tacos de cane asada Amazing Service very young man very friendly read more

Little hole in the wall. Good service, good menu but just like every other Mexican place I've tried in Utah, just not impressed with the flavors (depends what you're used to, I'm from California. It's just bland. Got the taco plate, the 'grilled' chicken looked boiled and had no flavor, the beef also didn't have any flavor. The only flavor I tasted was from the onions and cilantro on top and the lime I squeezed on it. And if you're eating there, you will smell like the food rest of the day. I'm still giving them 4 stars for the service and presentation. read more

Super tasty Al pastor. Got the burrito and the tacos and smashed both of them. Would recommend for that

A friend recommended this Mexican restaurant, claiming it was authentic. I should have known better that Americans don't know what authentic Mexican food is. Disappointed with everything I tasted. Very grease, too! The location was not a good area. I don't recommend this place. read more

Chungas - Al pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The first amazing thing about Chunga's is how it has remained Salt Lake's best Mexican restaurant for so many years. The second amazing thing about Chunga's is the fact that the first amazing thing hasn't rubbed off more on the general Mexican restaurant line-up in Salt Lake City, which--with the exception of the outstanding Rancho Markets--is shit. But that's probably less about Chunga's and more about how Salt Lake, and Utah generally, is deeply dedicated to shitty food (e.g. Red Iguana). read more

The inside is a bit rough but that's a good sign when it comes to street tacos! The al pastor tacos are next level. Probably the best I've ever had. You gotta try at least one - you won't regret it. Whenever I come into town, I make an effort to swing by - that's how good it is! read more

It's been a long time since I've been to Chunga's and I must have remembered it with extra nostalgia because my latest visit was a little disappointing. They are the OG for sure - they were around way before so many other popular taquerias popped up around the valley. But I was a little sad to see that it was dirty, full of flies because the doors were all opened (some A/C issues I guess), prices have gone up (understandable), and the service was sub-par. Their tacos are still good, but not the best. I like the al pastor best, but all the meats we ordered were very spicy (not advertised) and the kids with us couldn't enjoy them. The spiciness made the kids run for water but they told us there was no water except bottled water and that we could get sick if we had the tap water (?!) - what?! That was so confusing so we ordered Mexican bottled drinks. Also a little hard to enjoy your food when the tables and floors are sticky, trash is overflowing, and you're swatting flies the whole time. They forgot our churros and after we reminded them once, we had to remind them again before we finally got the order. I love me a hole-in-the-wall and don't mind authenticity, but they could step it up a notch. read more

Food is great. Service is better than most. Very Happy to have them in Herriman now! read more

Very tasty! We had steak quesadilla and steak nachos. Quesadilla came with salsa, nachos came with salsa and a creamy jalapeño sauce which was very good. Both were flavorful, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Prices were reasonable. Service was friendly and prompt. Ambiance is definitely "hole in the wall". read more

A dive taqueria worth your attention. Not a fancy place, nor a brunch venue, or a date night kind of spot. The two taco combo, with rice, beans and fountain soda is perfect. Tacos were delicious; al Pastor, cilantro, onions, I added lime and their sauce. The tortillas were slightly crispy. Beans and Rice hit the spot. read more

Absolutely amazing food, best beans and rice I've ever tried. Super friendly staff. Great prices. Love the mango drinks.

Chungas! What a gem. This little place that's a little out of the way is worth seeking out. The Place. Chungas is great for a quick bite. You have quite a few options that are done pretty quick. The seating inside is a little limited, but it did look like there is seating outside. You could also take your food home and enjoy it there. The Food. I had the burrito and my friend had a taco salad. The burrito was huge and so tasty. My friend loved his salad too. I'd choose this place over any other fast mexican place in the city. I'll definitely be back. read more

Chungas - Carne asada burrito - Mexican Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Update-I've since moved away, but this is a sacred pilgrimage every time I'm back in Utah. I don't care what else you're considering. If you like Mexican food, this is where you should go, and then you should probably get something with Al Pastor. read more

Sophie was great taking my order and the food is excellent as usual! in my opinion they have the best pastor of any of the Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Just good, authentic, Mexican food. I know this place is known for their al pastor, but for me, the Milanesa torta is where it's at! Pair it with a mango or pineapple juice and you've got yourself a solid, mouthwatering meal. read more

It has a hole in the wall vibe (my favorite), with great food and great service. They are known for their pastor and it delivered! A little sweet, and savory- the perfect combo. We got the al pastor burrito and al pastor quesadilla which were both phenomenal. Prob one of the best Mexican places I've had in Utah. Can't wait to try more items, definitely check them out! read more

Food be mad gas. Some homie came and absolutely shredded on guitar. Def will be coming back

the food is great, service is usually pretty quick, and as a vegan they have some great options, but after eating here a few times i realized they are charging my debit card extra credit surcharge fees without disclosing at all, i had to ask why i was charged more than the total on the receipt and the kid working just told me it was a credit card fee (i used debit.) which is actually pretty illegal. don't know how they've gotten away with this for so long and have t gotten in trouble, but yeah its against the law to charge extra card fees without disclosing at all. hope i can work it out with them and get my money back from all the times ive eaten there but if not ill definitely have to file a complaint with attorney general, or the consumer financial protection bureau. somehow the burrito i order is listed as 9.50 but i end up being charged almost $14, doesn't make sense. read more

The outside and inside of this place are not super enticing but these tacos are amazing. I've come several times over the last few years and the food here is consistently so good. The al pastor taco combo is my go-to. Anything with al pastor here is amazing!! I've also ordered the torta which is yummy (and so filling) but the tacos are my favorite.

This place sucks!! I arrived during their advertised hours also listed on their door and they were closing early due to not having a customer for the last 1.5 hours. Bad service!! read more

First time. Great food! Great service! Refreshing. Went to the new one in herriman and will definitely be back. Go for it. It's good.

How can you see world famous Al pastor on the outdoor menu multiple times and not come in to try them? My only regret was trying the other meats and not just sticking to the Al Pastor. That's a joke though, all their meats were great! We loved the nachos and tacos and went back multiple times. A crowd pleaser among our group of 3! read more

Great tasting food! You order at the counter and pay right then, and they bring your food out to you. A little different than most Mexican Restaurants I've been to, but it totally worked. BUSY BUSY BUSY though! I ordered the chicken quesadilla on corn, I didn't know it was fried (which made it a little tricky to eat) but it had a great flavor to it. The carne asada nachos were baller too. But the real trick is in the ranch salsa--I WAS PRACTICALLY LICKING IT OUT OF THE CONTAINER. (Notice I had to cut my date out of the photo, there's no way he's going out with me after seeing me drunk that stuff like a ravenous wolf). The employees were great and very easy to talk with. They knew what they were doing and what to recommend, and they were quick to take our order and get it out to us! The only downside is the location. Hardly any parking, you have to park on the road or just in the grass behind someone else and hope you finish your meal first or else they're just stuck. We ate outside and leaves and seeds from the trees blew off the little roof and landed rock smack dab in our food. It got in my hair and clothes too, but I was definitely more concerned about the nachos I was helping my date finish (oh gosh, after talking through this, I think I've figured out why I'm still single...) but all-in-all, I'd go back! What's life if you don't live with a little apprehension of a potential sequoia tree growing in your gut? The restrooms are one-holers, located outside the building. TIPS & TRICKS: * Try to drive with a group, the less cars the better when it comes to trying to find a space. read more

Chungas - Chicken Quesadilla on a corn tortilla, a heaping of nachos, and no more chips. - Mexican Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Love me some $ Mexican food that's high quality! I really enjoyed my spicy pork burrito to go. It was hot. I got the spicy red sauce and I highly recommend that. I thought I'd want my own Cholula on it when I got home, but the sauce they gave was so delectable, I didn't even use it. It's a big, hefty burrito and I was hungry. I recommend getting it if you're starving. My friend had the nachos and I had a couple which were so good. The staff is super nice and is practicing safe social distancing measures. The food is relatively cheap as well, and for the quality of the food, it's a bargain. read more

Both locations now open. This little taco place is amazing. It's been a while since I've found some mexican food this good. Based on the reviews, I ordered the Al Pastor meat on some tacos. It's pork, mixed with a hot and smoky sauce and it blew my mind. The tacos also had fresh, thinly sliced cilatro, chunky onions and some pico. The plate came with black beans and rice which were also top notch. My friends had enchiladas, a smothered burrito and we shared the chips and guac, which came with four diference salsas. I loved every one! The dark smoky one is spiiiicy, and I think it's also the sauce on the Al Pastor meat. LOVE! Will be going back ASAP. read more

Tacos are awesome. They're very authentic. This is a hidden gem . Don't let the exterior scare you away.

The food here is top-notch. There is a small indoor space and a large, dog-friendly covered patio. It isn't 'pretty' from the outside, but the food and friendly service absolutely rock. read more
