CHANGO cantina mexicana - Hamburg in Hamburg

A truly cozy and authentic Mexican restaurant! 🇲🇽 The atmosphere is warm, the ambiance invites you to linger – almost like a short vacation in Mexico. The menu is small, but all the more exquisite: every dish is freshly prepared, lovingly presented, and full of flavor. The authentic spices and homemade salsas are particularly noteworthy – simply delicious! 🌮🌯 The service is attentive and friendly without being intrusive. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine beyond Tex-Mex, this is the place for you. A clear recommendation – we'll definitely be back! 🌶️✨

Great vegetarian food. You have to try the nachos. The smoked paprika sauce is superb!

Great food, could be cheaper tho

Super delicious food, good service, welcoming staff and beautiful decor.

Two of us were here on a Tuesday evening. We got a table reservation an hour in advance. The food was excellent, the service was good. It was full, and reservations are recommended. We had the beef burrito and the chicken chipotle quesadilla.

Great location and very tasty food!

Good food, good service and attention, I only had to wait a little longer than expected for dessert but everything was very very good, good music and good location

The food was edible, but it was the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. There's still a lot of room for improvement. Far too expensive for this kind of food!

I can't comment on the ambiance, as we booked Chango for our law firm's catering. A super authentic and courteous team, great, tasty food, very reliable, and uncomplicated communication. We'd be happy to go again! :)

Super delicious, great staff and typically Mexican

Insanely good!!! Difficult to beat it even for mexicans

Delicious food, served super quickly. Reservations are recommended if you want to eat during peak dining hours, as the restaurant isn't very big. The service is very friendly.

Extremely good food. The guacamole is from another planet 🤩

We're currently sitting in the restaurant. The food was delicious. But the service was terrible. They didn't even ask if we wanted another drink. And no one took our orders... even though the place was still pretty empty, we were ignored. Bummer! The food was great, the rest was a flop!

Very nice Mexican restaurant with a great atmosphere and colorful ambiance. The food was fresh and delicious – especially the tacos. Friendly and fast service. The music was a bit loud, but otherwise, it was great! I'd be happy to come back and highly recommend it.

Mega delicious tacos and strawberry margaritas😍

It was really delicious. Not quite Mexican, but close...

The food is great, staff is amazing. We’ve been there twice and I’ll go back many times. Strongly recommend!

We were there today at lunchtime and loved everything we ordered. The beef burrito, the chicken quesadillas, and the churros were delicious. Great value. The service from the young man who served us was also very attentive and helpful.

Overall great. Food was good, ambience is nice, service was nice and quick

Nice little Mexican restaurant. A random find. A bit off the beaten track, but reasonably priced, and very attentive service. We had a bit of a downtime between a visit to Miniatur Wunderland and a VR tour there. We ordered food, but time was running out. We were able to pay in advance and come back later, and only then was the food freshly prepared. They also offer homemade lemonade. Keep it up. See you next time.

Absolutely well located little restaurant, service super fast, food very authentic, well seasoned and the portion is also sufficient 👍🏻

Great place, the atmosphere is very cozy. We had the nachos as a starter, which were delicious, I had the burrito for the main course, and churros at the end. Everything tasted very good. The drinks looked amazing and were very tasty.

Very good cocktails and main courses

We had some delicious tacos here. Very colorful and inviting. There's even more space downstairs, and the restrooms are clean. They offer free menstrual products for women, and the men's restroom has deodorant, hairspray, and hand cream.

A fantastic Mexican cantina that impresses with more than just its delicious food. The service staff is very friendly and attentive, and the margaritas are simply amazing!

The food is delicious, the drinks are overpriced. The view of the Elbe canals is beautiful at high tide, but at low tide, it's just mud.

Lovely experience. Friendly and funny. Amazing Food.

Very convincing Mexican food, very friendly service and very clean restrooms.

Delicious food. Super fast service. The food arrived very quickly. Highly recommended

A very nice and cozy Mexican restaurant. The food is traditionally prepared and very fresh. The service is very attentive and friendly. We'll be back.

We ordered food for a party and it tasted absolutely fantastic. We'd be happy to come back anytime.

Great restaurant with truly amazing, authentic Mexican food. It tasted amazing!!!

The food was fantastic! I've never had such good Mexican food outside of Mexico. The margaritas were also very good. Super friendly and very child-friendly; it was a wonderful evening, thank you so much!

I ordered a buffet from "Chango" for a private party. Unfortunately, I made a big mistake with the order. The manager was super professional and friendly and found a solution to the problem, thus saving my party. Thank you again for that! The service staff was very friendly, and my guests really enjoyed the food, which was absolutely plentiful. Thank you also for the extra churros. The overall performance was truly impressive, and we will gladly return to the restaurant as guests!

Unfortunately, the food wasn't particularly good. The chipotle was unseasoned and very poorly presented. The burrito wasn't a highlight either; for the price, there are much better options in Hamburg. However, the service and ambiance were very good.

Nice place for lunch with colleagues—ideal for a quick midday break. Good vegetarian options.

A very nice place between Hafen City and Nikolai Kirche. Great interior design and good food. The homemade lemonade is delicious. You can pay by card. I recommend checking it out!

Mexico in Hamburg. Top-notch food. Very good drinks. And attentive service.

Great food in a great atmosphere 😊

Great little Mexican restaurant, right on the water, homemade guacamole, delicious tacos, Mexican beer. Everything was spot on.

A very good location and vibe. we ordered drinks that was very good, except the cuba libre, the mixture was way off. As for the food i struggle to understand how people call it authentic. the starter with nachos for two was great all except the the pico de gayo, it was not pico de gayo at all, something else red saucy salsa of unknown type, it tasted OK, quite mild and not much taste, the guacamole was great however and the cheese you get is also very tasty. for main dishes we ordered the tacos mix and the sweet crispy chipotle chicken that was supposed to have rice but instead i got «potato’s?» the tacos where all very blend and had little salsas or taste at all, the chicken had zero spice or taste, i guess the best part was the tortilla, homemade and very tasty. the portions are big with meat at least but it has little to do with Mexican spices and taste. (not even a hint of a mild chili taste) i ordred the dish that was supposed to be the spicy one, the chipotle chicken, i love spice and grow a lot of chilis…. but… Milk has more spice than this chicken, it tasted like korean fried chicken, nothing more. On top of this i got potatos instead of rice without and warning at all, it did not fit the dish and the combination was weird. the guacamole was great again, but most of the food we got had little to do with tasting Mexico sadly. A good thing is the price of the food compared to the amount of food you get, it is cheap. i found the place from a reddit tip. the 3 star service is for giving out food that is not what is on the menu. (potatos and the mystery pico de gayo on the starter)

You can taste that the food is of good quality, raw materials and craftsmanship, with real corn fritters. The appetizer - nachos with cheese, guacamole and pico de gallo, was very good! But I wish there was more flavor in the meat on all three different tacos, it was a bit tame and disappointing as they looked very delicious. But all in all good food, and we were full. An appetizer for two people, two main courses and 4 drinks was 100 euros.

Great atmosphere and food. Friendly service.

The quesadilla had fantastic chicken in it. Very tasty—we'll be back.

Very good, but very, very long. Plan for long hours!

As a Mexican, I can say this is an insult to not only Mexican food but even tex-mex food. Starting by the pre-made guacamole which only tasted like citric acid and conservatives, plus the fact that the waiter didn't even know that the "chips" in which you use to dip it are supposed to be called "totopos" aka tortilla chips, but even sounded like rocket science apparently because I was told they old have "nachos". Then, the quesadilla is only served with chicken inside (never seen or would order that back home), and to keep it simple, I tried to order a children's quesadilla.. needless to say, even that failed: it had raw tomatoes inside, orange slices on top, and a horrible thick flour tortilla. Someone else at the table ordered a burrito (which for those who know Mexican food should know thats in fact, texmex and not Mexican), which was half filled with rice - again, not a mexican thing.

Good food, nice service but a bit noisy.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced by Hamburg standards. I haven't had a lemonade that tasted this good in a long time. The ambiance was pleasant, but unfortunately a bit drafty (literally every table), but we've encountered that quite often in Hamburg.

As a Mexican, I definitely approve! Tacos are made of flavorful, genuine corn tortillas (double!) tasty and generous portion of goodness. Guacamole is fresh and balanced. The view is also nice and the service is top notch. Everything was great, especially the carnitas.

Typical Mexican dishes are very well prepared. Even the simplest things taste exceptionally good there. The restrooms are modern and clean. Located right on the water, the staff is friendly.

From the nachos to the churros, all the dishes are very well-balanced. I recommend the 3-piece taco mix. The meat is super tender and excellently seasoned.

Hidden gem! Fantastic food and atmosphere. Recommended…

Delicious food 🌯 Great lemonade Great service

Best Mexican food ever!!! Veggie tacos, the cheese nachos, the margaritas... JUST what we were looking for!! We went there 2x in 3 days for our family of four. Friendly, delicous, casual, what more could you want?

Very tasty Mexican food and very friendly service.

Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had! And the homemade lemonade is also delicious and refreshing. The ambiance could be improved, but since the food should be the main focus, that's beside the point.

I absolutely don't recommend this place. You sit on uncomfortable wooden chairs and have to pay exorbitant prices for main courses that are barely the size of a main course. There are much better places. The taste is actually okay, especially if you drench the food with the slightly spicier sauce.

Excellent chicken quesadilla, good prices

I like to go here for lunch from the office and take advantage of the lunch menu. Plus, it's a lovely atmosphere by the canal and offers a view of St. Nicholas Church.

Very delicious food with great vegan options! The restaurant also has a very nice location and a relaxed, open atmosphere.

Fantastisk guacamole och väldigt söta goda drinkar. Maten var vällagad och mycket god. Vi provade olika rätter och allt var gott. Missa inte det här stället. Supertrevlig personal och extra + att hundar var välkomna.

My first time eating Mexican food. It took a long time for us to be served drinks after we arrived, and the cocktails were only mediocre. Unfortunately, the meat in the tacos wasn't really my thing either...

We ate there with a large group from work, and the feedback about this place was unequivocal: We'll NEVER go back. The reasons are: - The food was okay, but far from being truly good. - The portions (especially the nacho platter) were so "measured," and that for a rather modest price. - The main reason, however, is the drinks. They were very expensive, and the quality was really poor. I've rarely had such a bad frozen margarita. My colleague also had one and didn't even finish it, it tasted so good. The other cocktails weren't particularly good either, according to my colleagues, but the prices were very high. - The "homemade" lemonade looked absolutely unloved, and so was the taste. However, the bill included twice the amount of lemonade... The service, however, was good and friendly; you can't complain. Long story short: In our opinion (opinions are always subjective...), we definitely don't recommend it.

DELICIOUS food, we ordered mixed and carnitas tacos, the latter in my top list of best tacos I've tried in Europe, congratulations to the kitchen

GREAT EXPERIENCE!! The staff was very friendly and super sweet. The food was wooooowww bombastic. I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. We'll definitely be back.

The two of us were there spontaneously on Friday evening. We were served very warmly, the food was simply amazing and the drink selection was also very original and delicious 🥰

So incredibly delicious, the best Mexican ever.

Very good restaurant for a Mexican trip centrally in Hamburg. The prices have gone up a bit but it's still tasty.

Super nice staff, lunch for 12.50 was very tasty and definitely inexpensive 😁

The food tasted good and the service was great. We were there during the day without a reservation and got a table without any problems. The chicken wings could have been spicier, but were still tasty. The vegetarian selection is not large, but the dish we chose tasted good. The homemade lemonade was great! However, we didn't find it particularly comfortable (at least upstairs). It was only when we went to the toilet that we saw that it continued downstairs; it would probably be nicer there for longer stays.

The food was good but the oil they use all around Hamburg wastes the flavors and makes all foods taste the same.

Really nice vegan and vegetarian dishes at this Mexican restaurant. Colors just pop off your plate, and everything was delicious. Absolutely loved the quesadilla and the 3 tacos. Super fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. And nice and colorful interior as well.

Mexican dishes, a good strawberry Margarita. Delicious and relaxed.

The tacos are very delicious, authentic Mexican flavor. Very friendly staff, beautiful place. Recommended

Very tasty cocktails to go. But a bit expensive

Great margaritas, super good food and nice service.

Non-carbonated and sugary lemonade. The chicken tasted like fish...no accommodation...I absolutely can't recommend it!

Nice decor, clean toilets and quick service.

Very tasty Mexican food, friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere, well-chosen music. Highly recommended.

The food was very good and tasty. Unfortunately, the portions were a bit small for the price.

Very tasty food, I love the corn soup :)!

The food was okay, but I've had better Mexican food. The service was tried hard, the location has the appearance of a better bistro.

We decided on this little Mexican restaurant to eat some tacos. These were really delicious too. The two of you can sit very nicely at the window and look at the water. There is a deduction for the service, which was not above average and I had stated that I wanted to tip €4 and the waiter simply turned it into €5 - he rewarded himself a bit. In addition, the door was open all evening, which can be a bit quick in March in Hamburg.

I can only recommend it. The food is amazing, the service is quick and friendly.

Very tasty food and drinks. Friendly staff. Fast service and the food came quickly. Gladly again 😊

Sorprendente presentación deliciosa y colorida. Pedimos los chips de tortilla como entrada y compartimos un pedido de varias tortillas de carne y un burrito de ternera.

Got serverd meat as a vegan and the server didn't event was sorry. Well one star.

Delicious food, very courteous staff, would be happy again.

Really delicious tacos!! 🌮 Thanks for the really tender meat.

The food was really delicious. Location on the Fleet is also very nice.

The lunch special offered did not come as an enchilada but rather individually without dough on the plate. So what is that? When asked, the answer was: “oops, I didn’t notice that at all.” And then insist on a tip… Not recommended.

Food: explosive in taste Service: hospitable and personable Ambiance: enchanting with both the extravagant seating and the artistic wall paintings and pictures. Maybe it was my charming companion, but the dining was simply stunning.

Delicious food and friendly service

If you like Mexican you will not be disappointed.

Tuve una experiencia maravillosa en Chango. Los nachos con queso derretido eran un aperitivo perfecto, seguido de deliciosos tacos y un burrito. El ambiente, la música y el personal amable contribuyeron a una comida encantadora. La comida era excepcionalmente sabrosa, por lo que es uno de los mejores restaurantes mexicanos que he visitado.

Great quality. Friendly and quick. Nice, tasteful atmosphere.

The tacos were horrible; I took one bite and felt like vomiting, and so did my friend. The service was terrible—they put us in a corner of the room and forgot about us.

The service and the food is not quite well as the rating. Unfortunately, a bad experience. Please be aware of the tacos. Horrible one even the salsa souce. And the food has also smelling very bad.

Incredibly delicious food, incredibly nice and motivated service. I'm not really a guacamole fan, but it was a classic case of you've never had real guacamole before. The guacamole was incredibly delicious. Very fair price! I can recommend it to EVERYONE 👍
