About Us

Why El Chingon?

Where the vibrant flavors of Mexico City come to life in the heart of Denver, Colorado. Our journey began in 2010 when the late Gloria Nunez and her grandson, David Lopez, first introduced the community to the authentic taste of Mexican cuisine in a humble strip mall in Arvada. Over the years, the undeniable passion for our Mexico City-inspired fare led us to a cozy spot in Berkeley, where food became a celebration of family and tradition.

In 2022, driven by a commitment to providing an even more exceptional experience, Gloria's son, Lorenzo Nunez Jr., took a bold step and temporarily closed the doors to renovate and expand. The result? El Chingon Bistro is reborn in LoHi, boasting more space, but retaining the heart and soul that make every visit a memorable occasion.
