Al pastor was perfect, Asada was delicious and unique with the crunchy leeks and chipotle chimi churi, chorizo was fire, and the duck carnitas were probably one of the most unusual but in the best way

Taqueria Chingon — solid, no-fuss mexican in Fulton Market. Expect noise, energy, and a full house. Creative without being gimmicky. "Very solid tacos, great salsas, fresh corn tortillas and the meat was seasoned well" — Sameet Sapra [$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Fulton Market classic in summer.

I rarely do reviews but I have to admit, this place is insanely delicious. The skirt steak is amazing and the churros are to die for. This is a must do to spot. If I can add 10 more stars, I would. Great job Taco Chingon, I can see why you are Michelin star approved.

Very nice. Not your ordinary taqueria. Check out the menu and try something new. I did. And I wouldn't hesitate trying another new menu item. On Fulton street and you can sit i side or outside. We had a steak taco and Artichoke taco. Both were very good. Fries were good and we rant through those. Agua Fresca +1

Amazing spot! This is a great place to go on a nice day when the glass garage doors are opened up to a great patio space. The vibes are great and the food is even better. We got a variety of tacos, drinks, and chips and guac. It was all amazing. Will be back very soon!

I have been getting tacos for years and thought I had already found "the best." Turns out I was wrong. I stopped by Taqueria Chingón in Fulton Market, grabbed a seat outside, and ordered two steak tacos with just cilantro and onions because that's how a proper taco should come. No distractions. No unnecessary extras. Just taco. When I tell you those tacos changed my mood instantly, I'm not exaggerating. The steak was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. I don't know who's back there cooking, but they deserve a raise and maybe a hug. The tacos were so good that I came back the very next day. Not next week. Not later that month. The next day. That's how serious this got. I also happened to catch happy hour, which made the experience even better because half priced drinks and amazing tacos are a dangerous combination for my wallet and my self control. The staff was awesome. Special shoutout to the hostess who was there both times I visited. She was super friendly, welcoming, and just had great energy. You can tell when someone actually enjoys their job, and it makes a difference. The restaurant is clean, organized, and has a great vibe. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which is always a green flag. If you're in Fulton Market and craving tacos, go here. Just don't blame me when you start thinking about those tacos at random times during the day. I'm still thinking about them.

Food was amazing! We had 3 tacos, a quesadilla and a Crunchwrap that the chef was able to make dietary friendly for us. Everything was delicious and fast. Shoutout to the kind and attentive staff and to chef Chris - the kimchi was divine and the kimchi ranch should be a permanent item on the menu. We will be back!

Delicious. I went back two days later. The super fries are great. I was supposed to share but ended up devouring most of them myself. The governador taco was my favorite. Long line on a Tuesday. Outside seating available.
