    Monday evening in November is pretty quiet for restaurants, this restaurant is nicely decorated and warmly lit in the evening. The housemade chips are seasoned and served with a trio of salsa. We shared the mole chiki changa and it was AMAZING. We also had fresh guacamole and the pastel de elote. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. He made good recommendations. The value was excellent and the food presentation was that of a more expensive restaurant. So good we'll be back when we're in Tucson.

    La Chingada was absolutely delicious. I was skeptical since I usually prefer to try more hole in the wall places, but the quesabirria tacos were incredible. I thought the food was so good that I even ordered a side of pinto beans halfway through my meal.

    I had the worst food poisoning of my life due to a bacteria I got from this place. I ate the queso birria tacos but I think the lemon cool-aid they are trying to sell as if it was natural limonada was contaminated. I think it was a margarita mix with water that they sold as limonada but no real lemons on it that made me sick. The tacos were good but definitely need to check the salas or the cheese they use. I have two days sick now, I can’t eat at that place again

    My mom has lived down in Arizona for 7 years and counting but only recently after visiting La chingada she swears it's the best chicken tortilla soup she's ever tasted. Little word of advice to anybody trying to pick up food to go next Halloween. Save yourself the trouble and order your food the next day. Trying to park with all the people out celebrating really messes up the ability for drivers to get in and out easily. The manager Argentina was incredibly sweet and remade food that we weren't able to have picked up the night before. The birria tacos are incredible, chicken tortilla soup mom tested and approved, I also grabbed an order of the lorenza ribeye which was delicious. Also, pretty much everything that we've gotten from their Mexican kitchen has been La chingada.
