George Lopez's Chingon Kitchen

No reservation needed unless party of 8 or above. Seat yourself. Food service gives off a chipotle vibe so it is not the best trying to order.

We had reservations. They had the table reserved but to get food, you had to stand in a line like Chipotle. It was a Friday night and the line was really long. We stood in line for about 10 minutes and it didn't move much -- there were still at least 20 people ahead of us -- so we left.

Based on the line, the food must be really good. But...it is not a restaurant which should be taking reservations which implies that it is a higher end place.

We were surprised there is no table or cocktail service.
The food is cafeteria style and the service in the bar was very slow. Very reasonably priced.

There's no host station to check in at. The first few employees we asked knew nothing about taking reservations, they said it was a first come, first serve place. You stand in line and they make to order like you would at a fast food place.

Finally, the person doing the expediting of the food knew about it, and said it's a fairly new concept there. She was able to check us in, but again, no actual reserved table/seating.

Food was good and reasonably priced.

The food looked way better than it tasted.
