★★★★☆ 4.0 Mary Jane · Oct 2021

Delicious smells fill the air right as u walk in and discover the clean, modern look the owners choose for this interior. Price is moderate and the staff was working together swiftly expediting the large line of patrons that crowded in behind us to order. Chips and rice we're good No that was plenty large enough to satisfy even a hearty appetite.

Good little spot. I got a taco salad and was able to load it up as I liked. It was pretty good, maybe a tad overpriced but not bad. I'm hoping to return because there are several things on the menu that I want to try, mainly the torta which wasn't available the day I went, hence the loss of a star. I chose to try this place because I wanted a torta so I was a bit bummed to learn that I couldn't get it

I love Chango’s!! I usually order tacos or Doritos nachos. Chango’s wraps is also super good. Staff is friendly. Food is great.

I really was hoping to find a place that can satisfy my craving for Chipotle while in Carbondale. And man am I happy about finding Changos!! I really enjoyed their burrito. The meat is well seasoned, not dry at all. I was very satisfied. Very tasty & fulfilling. The prices are very reasonable as well! I was really hungry after a hard workout so I got a 14” burrito, double meat ($2.00) and guac ($1.25). It only was $15 and it came with chips. They also have 8” and 12” burritos too that are even cheaper. Acceptable customer service, nothing to really brag about but that’s irrelevant. The food was good. I am a big fan.. catch me here every week! Lol

I'm thankful for a local, enhanced alternative to Moe's (and restaurants like it- Chipotle, Qdoba, etc). Chango's will always be my first option in Carbondale. Chango's does an excellent job of bringing good, authentic Mexican flavors like barbacoa and chicken tinga to the very popular burrito assembly line style of restaurant. They offer all the standard and upgraded sides like multiple bean/rice options, grilled peppers/onions, queso, and fresh veggie/herb toppings and do all of them very well. In addition to allowing you to create a taco, nachos, quesadilla or a bowl, they also offer the option to create a torta (Mexican sandwich). Of course you always get a serving of fresh tortilla chips and salsa with your order and can complete the meal with a great cup of horchata. It's a must
