Chago's

My first time trying Puerto Rican food and if this is typical, I'm all about it. New and interesting flavors with some of the best service in Austin. Very welcoming and helpful with making good choices from their menu. El Jibarito Sampler was really cool. Everything on the plate was new to me and all were excellent. Queso Frito...same business. It's basically fried cheese and you can't go wrong there. Chagos Pernil Asado was a great entree! There's parking on the left side of the restaurant if the front is full..

The best puertorican food we have found in Texas! So glad we found a place that reminds us of home! Brought my family on Thursday and had to come back with more family on Saturday. Food was very authentic and flavorful just like it should be, love the sorrullitos, tostones, churrasco. Had the piña coladas and sangría on both occasions and for dessert the cheese flan and tembleque. Highly recommend Chagos if you are in the mood for authentic puertorican food or just great food!

This has consistently been our favorite date night place for years, and we often take visitors and new comers to Austin here. The setting is homely and we've often interacted with the owners here. They're fun people, and it reflects in the vibe of the restaurant and more importantly, the food. Since I'm a vegetarian, my favorite for years is the Paella Vegetariana, and now they have many more vegetarian and vegan options (like trifongo) to the menu. Just ask. You cannot leave until you've had their desserts- the flan tembleque and tres leche cake are highly recommended! Do dine in if you can, and you'll be happy to have found this hidden gem in Austin, with upbeat music!

The food was good but different for me. I am not a fan of tomatoes so I found it a little too much for me but my son loved his Paella. Since my meet content is limited to chicken, I couldn't try it since they had beef in it. The food is definitely different but I do see many regular customers so I am pretty sure it is good for many but just not fussy old me. The service was also good.

*call ahead to confirm their hours* The space is lounge vibes and I love that you are hearing some Latin music and seeing Caribbean decor to get immersed with your food. The service was timely and pleasant. I love how attentive our waiter was. Had good communication and recommendations. Food was hot and full of flavor! I haven't eaten shrimp mofongo since a trip to PR in 2016. The juices from the garlic sauce were on point 👌🏾👌🏾 order everything lol #teamplatano
