" I brought my family in for a weekend lunch and was pleased with the overall experience. The restaurant felt very clean and bright, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. We tried a variety of dishes including the sizzling fajitas and the shrimp ceviche. Each dish was well-prepared with fresh ingredients that truly showcased the authenticity of the cuisine. The children loved their quesadillas, and the guacamole was exceptional! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely return for another family outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I would love to love this place, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. While the flavor of the food was authentic and reminded me of my trips to Mexico, the portion sizes were surprisingly small, especially given the price. I expected more for what I paid. My taco al pastor was just mediocre in size, and the service was okay but nothing exceptional. If they can work on these two areas, they could really stand out in Rockford's competitive dining scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the opportunity to dine at Chilangos, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The ambiance was cozy and inviting. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were packed with flavor. Each bite was a delightful mix of spice and freshness. My friend had the birria tacos, and she raved about the rich flavor of the broth. The only downside was that the service took a little longer than expected, but it was worth the wait! I will definitely be going back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chilangos is where you must go if you want authentic Mexican food that evokes the feeling of dining in Mexico itself! The dishes are bursting with flavor, and you can spot the fresh ingredients right away. I personally enjoyed the steak torta, which was cooked to perfection and served with a side of perfectly cooked beans. The service was friendly but a little slow due to the busy lunch hour. I highly recommend this place to anyone who craves genuine Mexican food without compromising on flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, I left Chilangos craving more. After my recent visit, I ordered the homemade gorditas and was blown away by the exquisite flavors. They were stuffed generously and were indeed a treat for my taste buds. My table had the shrimp empanadas, which were also fantastic with a delightful crunch and savory filling. Service-wise, my waiter went above and beyond to make our experience special. The ambiance was cozy and relaxed, perfect for dining with friends or family. I cannot wait to visit again!

" Let me start by saying that this place has one of the better seafood menus in town! I tried their fried fish and I can assure you it was the best I've had in a long while. Juicy and seasoned perfectly, it captured the essence of home-cooked meals I remember from my childhood. The ambiance was engaging, and my server was delightful, giving personal recommendations. I left feeling satisfied and full, and I can't wait to come back again for more adventures on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Chilangos last night! The ambiance was lively and inviting, with lovely Mexican decor throughout. We ordered various appetizers that were all heavenly, particularly the ceviche! The freshness of the ingredients made it unforgettable. Our main courses were just as delightful. The waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing, which is really hard to find. This spot quickly climbed to the top of my list for Mexican restaurants in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
