It’s a shame… The music is great, the decor is cute. We had a large party of 11 and one of our friends ordered the TJ 1920 and it came back with 2 bugs at the bottom of the drink. We sent it back and the next drink they got us had nasty floating particles floating at the bottom too (like the ice flakes of old ice). She just returned that and didn’t get another drink since she was pretty disgusted. Then my other friend found a hair in her nachos and our server kept avoiding us. It just wasn’t a pleasant experience, sadly. Drinks are extremely over priced as well. Ultimately, not a good experience.

We actually were trying to go to Havana 1920 but they were full so we were seated in El Chignon which are connected to each other. Can order from both menus.

The food was good . I had a quesadilla with carne assada that would serve two people . The margarita was just ok , nothing special. The service was good. The place was crowded due to Comicon. The decor was really cool

A very lively Mexican restaurant. There was a live DJ and set up very much like a club. My food was really good and the house margarita on happy hour was very reasonably priced. I would go back but I do not recommend taking children here. You can also order food from a Havana 1920 which is located next door and are sister restaurants.

They have quite delicious food but you’re definitely going to wait a long time getting in if you’re coming during a weekend. It gets VERY busy here. The inside is mostly just a dancefloor with a bar, but it also has a very long wait to get into during the weekend. The nachos are delicious though.
