  Had the chilaquiles divorciados with steak. It was sooo good. The spicy micheladas was amazing. El cafe de Ochoa was amazing too. Perfect atmosphere on a Sunday morning.

  My wife and I had seen La Chingada plenty of times while spending Saturdays downtown, but we had never actually tried it. That changed after we tasted some of their food and cocktails at an event at the Hilton. They had one of our favorite dishes of the night, I tagged them afterward, and they invited us to come in and try the restaurant. We’re glad we did. My wife ordered a margarita that came out much bigger than she expected, and she loved it. I ordered the tamarindo Paloma, which was also really good. The chips had a nice chile seasoning on them, and we also ordered the tableside guacamole. The lady preparing it was amazing. She was incredibly nice and made sure to customize it exactly how we wanted it. The guacamole came out perfect and was definitely one of the highlights. We both ordered from the Sonoran Restaurant Week menu. My wife had the green chile corn masa appetizer and enchiladas, while I had the corn ribs and birria tacos. Everything was really good. The salsa served with the corn ribs was especially amazing. For dessert, I had the flan and my wife had the cheesecake. Both were a great finish. Our server was very nice, and the live music and overall atmosphere made for a really fun night. My only small critique would be the pacing and clearing of plates. Our next course came out pretty quickly, so the table became crowded at times. Nothing major, just something that could make the experience even better. We’ve already talked about coming back several times since our visit. Great food, great atmosphere, and a really enjoyable night.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La Chingada Cocina Mexicana is a fantastic spot for authentic, flavorful Mexican food in downtown Tucson. The birria tacos were absolutely delicious, with tender, well-seasoned meat and great flavor. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came together for a really enjoyable dining experience. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it!

  This is a good place to go if you're third wheeling. Food was gobsmackingly good. When the live music ended they put some lame stuff on over the speakers and it made me want to leave the restaurant as fast as possible. Don't do that. Let me enjoy the beautiful art when it is here, and when it's not, don't drown out my conversation with my beautiful friends.

  Today, we decided to go check out A La Chingada downtown. I'd seen it showcased on Social media and thought it looked good. My husband got the Chimichanga Ahogada and I got the La Chingada Combo Plate. While the plates look pretty and the birria is flavorful, that is where it stops. The red enchilada sauce tasted like they took a can of campbell's tomato soup and added valentina to it. The green chili sauce was okay, but it simply tasted like canned green chilies blended with sour cream. The red tamale had way too much masa, and not enough meat and wasn't very flavorful. The red sauce completely took away from anything that I might be enjoying on that tamale. The quesobirria taco barely had any queso, and while advertised as coming with onion and cilantro, the amount they put on, it was extremely lacking and you had to search for it. The service was also extremely lacking. The girl that waited on us seemed like she didn't really want to be there. We asked about soda and she handed us the bar menu. We did not get any refills on our iced tea at all. We never order appetizers or desserts. But it's always nice to at least be offered and maybe discuss the menu with us a little bit since it was our first time there. Her behavior was simply, "what do you want So I can go get it for you". It wasn't even busy. We were only the second table to be seated when we arrived on a very slow Sunday morning. In our opinion, while the plates look pretty on social media, the taste and the service are definitely not worth the price, and we will not be returning.
