" Los Chilitos is a lovely little spot for authentic Mexican food! I had the chicken enchiladas, and they were delicious and authentic! Soft tortilla, seasoned chicken, and rich sauce. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was friendly. I also loved their homemade chips and salsa that accompanied the meal. Prices are reasonable, and I plan to return whenever I get the chance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for true Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Chilitos has quickly become my favorite spot for authentic Mexican food in the area! I highly recommend trying their menudo on the weekends. It’s rich and full of flavor, just like I grew up eating. The atmosphere is lively, and you can feel the warm vibes from both the staff and decor. Service was a bit slow during my last visit, but they were so accommodating that it didn't bother us much. Overall, I’d say it's a must-visit for anyone craving true Mexican cuisine!

" I was surprised at quiet little Los Chilitos! It feels like a hidden treasure with its local charm. The menus variety is simple but showcases authentic flavors. We had the huevos rancheros and cafe de olla, which both stood out for their fresh taste and vibrant presentation. The service was attentive, and overall, it was a lovely experience, although I do wish they had more vegetarian options. Regardless, I enjoyed it and look forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Los Chilitos! I've been a regular customer for over two years now, and I've never had a bad meal here. The menudo is a standout; it tastes just like my grandma used to make, and the cafe de olla is a perfect pairing. While the place is small and can get busy on weekends, the hustle and bustle only adds to its charm. The staff is always welcoming, and they make sure you leave happy. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further! Just be prepared for a wait during peak hours, as it's clearly a local favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Los Chilitos, I am blown away by how authentic the food tastes. The carne asada is perfectly seasoned, and the salsa has just the right kick. I highly recommend their breakfast burritos as well; they are simply the best! This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff is always friendly. I can't wait to go back again soon.

" If you want food that tastes like home, Los Chilitos is the spot! The menudo I had here is absolutely fantastic—so hearty and flavorful! Pair that with a strong cup of cafe de olla, and it's a comforting meal for sure. The environment is quaint, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to serve us. Only thing I would mention is that it tends to get quite busy during peak hours, so consider making a reservation. Overall, I had a fabulous experience and can't wait to return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I never thought I would find a place that serves authentic Mexican flavors until I stumbled upon Los Chilitos. Every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. Their tacos were fresh, and the salsa tasted homemade. The staff was friendly and quick to serve us, making for a pleasant dining experience. The only downside for me is that it’s a small space, and it felt crowded at times, but it still had a cozy charm. I can't recommend this restaurant enough for anyone seeking genuine Mexican food!
