chunga's

ok people, i’m not a pork eater but i dream about the the el pastor at chungas. i love the el pastorenchiladasand the quesadilla. it’s not your everyday quesadilla! the mango drink is a must have and i happen to have a mild allergy to mango but i will gladly leave chungas a little bit itchier. it’s family run, small and worth the line!

had the chickenenchiladasand chips w guacamole and it was incredible! beautiful presentation, fast and friendly service. only downside is that they don't serve beer. but will return on our next trip to slc! a gem.

that was great!. i tried chunga's tonight. i was a little hesitant but based on all the great reviews, i thought i'd give it a go. i have to say, it did not disappoint. i tried theenchiladaswith al pastor for my choice of meat. i ask them for no cilantro (vile weed) as i am allergic to it. when i got back to work (got it to go), i discovered that the guy at the counter apparently didn't understand "no cilantro" because while they did not cover it with pico de gallo, the sauce definitely had cilantro in it (not overwhelming though - it was not listed in the ingredients on the menu either). it was so good, i ate it anyway. as a matter of fact, i couldn't stop eating it, and right now, i am sitting here wishing i had more of the al pastor meat.. i will definitely be going back!!

omg good!. as others have said, chunga's is indeed a diamond in the rough or a shining star.

albeit in a bad part of town (with a police unit in front tonight), i knew we had made a good choice as soon as we walked in the door. the smells and the smiles...

unlike everyone else here, we did not try the famous al pastor. we started off with the chips and homemade salsas (four different kinds). they had me at the chips. we also had a tacos plate (w steak) andenchiladaswith chicken (not shredded). i can earnestly say these are the bestenchiladasi've ever had. not only was the chicken perfectly seasoned and cooked, the enchilada sauce (green) is to die for. theenchiladasare better than any i've had in mexico and just as cheap. : )

i'm not even a big fan of mexican food and i could eat here every week!

the great thing about finding good mexican food off the beaten path is that you don't have to wait in line. walk right up, place your order, and find a seat. five minutes later, you're enjoying your enchiladas, heaps of beans and rice, washed down by your favorite soft drink. you can worry about the calories later. in the meantime, get off the beaten path and head over to chunga's and enjoy that good mexican food. over in rose park on 900 west, chunga's doesn't look like much. more than meets the eye, though, and it's worth checking out. the menu is simple, but looks written for a mixed clientage of native spanish speakers and local gringos. i ordered my standardenchiladaswith rice and beans. while we waited, we were treated to restaurant style chips and salsa, the kind that you can't stop eating. at most mexican restaurants, the chips are long gone, along with my appetite, before the food arrives. today, though, my order arrived before i could down more than three or for chips. and
