" I tried their burrito bowl and think it could use a little more seasoning to be truly flavorful. My husband, however, loved his shrimp tacos and thought they were amazing. The service here is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. A solid choice for quick meals, though I would love to see more consistent seasoning in all dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" The menu at Chilango has something for everyone, including some amazing sauces to pair with your meal. I tried a variety of dishes and was not let down. The tacos were flavorful, though I would have preferred the corn tortillas to be a little softer. Service was warm and inviting. I would love to recommend this to anyone who's in the area looking to enjoy some quality Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chilango definitely surprised me! I initially thought it would be just another taco shop, but the flavors are outstanding! The fish tacos were spot on—fresh fish that was fried perfectly. The staff was enthusiastic and helpful with recommendations. The outdoor seating gives a casual vibe, though it was quite packed. I enjoyed my experience here overall and will make it a regular stop when I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a mixed experience at Chilango. The food flavors were actually delightful, but the chicken I received was very dry. My friends' dishes were far better with juicy tacos. The service was fast, but with such busy hours, I felt a bit neglected. It has potential, and I would return to try my luck again. I did enjoy the fresh ingredients, but consistency is key. " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad I found this place! The fish tacos were definitely the highlight of my meal. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the sauces added an amazing kick. The service was prompt, and the señorita at the counter made great recommendations. The only issue was that seated dining feels a bit tight, but I can overlook that for such tasty food. Highly recommend the horchata too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chilango is one of those hidden gems that makes Mexican cuisine more accessible. The portion sizes are generous, and the flavors are authentic enough to take you back to the streets of Mexico. The al pastor tacos are the star of the show! Each taco comes piled high with succulent meat. Even the rice and beans are seasoned perfectly. I highly recommend it if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chicken burrito, and it was good but not as flavorful as I hoped. I think I'll try a different dish next time. The service was quite quick, but it felt a bit rushed due to the crowd. While the atmosphere was lively, I prefer a quieter dining experience. It is worth giving it another shot, especially with their variety. I’ve heard great things about their empanadas, which I will definitely try next time. " (*Curated Review*)
